M1009 Pickup
You have to have an approved EUC from the feds and a paid invoice from GL in hand to pick the unit up from the base. The title will arrive at some point latter, probably a couple of months, and they charge you extra for the same, I believe it is $60.00. My titles in the past...
My EUC was approved in 5 days on the M1009 I purchased in Jefferson City. I will pick it up this week, weather permitting. I am planning on doing a build on this vehicle over the winter. Should be a fun project. I have been searching for axles/differentials for this build, and have been...
m66 Ring Mount
Crane Technologies has one listed for sale on their web site, ring, legs, bracket, etc. but the price is high. You will want to puchase the cab reinforcment plate if you can find one here or some other source. I actually purchased mine on e-Bay over an extended period of time...
I also bought one of the M1009's in Jefferson City, Mo. I feel the same way on the paying to much, but it was close a little over an hour away and I have been wanting one. You would be better off getting or borrowing a pull type car hauling trailer. I will get mine with a pull type car hauler...
Horn won't work
I had the opposite problem on my M35. The horn would go off on it's own while driving. I went through the system and finally tracked down the problem. I had a wire that was worn and it was making contact in the steering column and grounding and going off. It was an easy fix...
Hardtops for M35
Hi: I would check the classifieds on this site, and you can also watch e-Bay. I actually got mine that way. I waited until I found one within driving distance of my home so I could pick it up and avoid shipping costs. A complete steel hardtop will fit in the bed of a short...
Stinger Hitch on Deuce
I have not pulled my gooseneck trailer with the truck yet. On the weight issue my trailer is 24" feet and my truck also has a winch on the front from more nose weight. I think the weight that could be pulled on the gooseneck with my stinger set up, would only be limited...
Deuce Stinger Hitch
The Wheels in the picture are OD Iron. Great Wheels. I am waiting on my painter. The truck is sanded, and will be painted tan/sand and the wheels will be black. On the stinger it attaches to the pintle hitch on the Deuce, and then the bar stock slides in below is pinned...
It is quick attach and detach. Open up the pintle and pull out the two pins in the offsetting receiver hitches below, pull out the bar stock and then just lift the hitch off of the pintle at about a 45 degree angle. I took a piece of round stock and welded it inside the square tubing to sit in...
Stinger Hitch For Duce
With the help of a good friend, I finally got a stinger hitch built for my duce to pull a gooseneck trailer. Should be great for around the farm, general hauling, and for floats in the parade. I will post a few pictures. I built it where it ties into the pintle and also...
License Plate
I welded up brackets and welded them to the truck. You need a little angle iron and some flat stockl. The front plate is below the bumper and the back plate is on the bracket on the left mud flap.
I wondered if anyone has made a stinger hitch for their Deuce to be able to pull a gooseneck trailer. I would like to build one up for my truck to be a quick attach and detach to work off the existing pintle hitch and/or a receiver hitch. If so, I would like to see a picture of the same...
We braced up the top and the added low "e" insulation in place of the old insulation we removed. We tried some 3m adhesive and the stuff really sticks. The new insulation took primer and paint and actually looks better than the old stuff anyway. I have some sanding to do, and then some more...
Hi: I am going to bend the piece of steel that is sitting on the top, as seen in one of the photos, in the correct arch and weld it iin place in the inside of the top next to the ring hole to brace the top. The way we cut the top for the hole we had to cut through the center brace. Adding...
I got this project finished up today and am really pleased with the same. Here is a shot of it in the truck. I will be trying it out real soon at a buddy's gun range. Chris
Hi: I do have the reinforcement plate riveted in to the truck. I am going to run a Ramo M2HB on the MK64 mount. I will also run an M60 on the ring with a different mount. I do know the passanger seat will fold down but was not happy with this set up, the hight was wrong for me and I didn't like...
