This one goes under the heading of "Things I'd like to do with YOUR truck."

CUCVFAN has the crank up landing legs with handles. Send him a PM. I got one from him and was very happy.

As a guide, figure $2.50/mile. I have had trucks hauled recently for that...including contracting with a trucker this past week. My recommendation...find a truck closer to you. You are going to spend at least the $1800 you quoted to get the truck home...plus what you paid. You very well...

Justin, you found an M113?:drool:

When I first got into the hobby, you couldn't give me a CUCV. I was not impressed by them given that they are really civilian vehicles with some military add-ons. After a few years, I decided to purchase a Blazer. After that, my eyes were open. I love the CUCVs because, while not true...

A bunch of NOS deuce transmissions came out a few years back. Check with John Winslow (252-883-2509) in Halifax, NC. He may have some. I bought a few NOS 5 ton transmissions from John over the past several years.

No offense intended, but you are blaming the transmission shop and you only now re-read the TM to figure out what was what. When I once had a head gasket replaced on a deuce (when I first got into the hobby and knew nothing), I purchase the engine overhaul TM and provided it to the shop doing...

So, this is how OD topic threads tie into one another. Interesting!:beer:

:)

ODdave, what is the story with the avatar? That is really funny!

Sounds like you may need to tear that sucker apart again.

Reminds me of a Homer Simpson quote...and I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember it exactly...but he said "I had two children (at that time) and a job and somehow I still managed to fit in eight hours of TV." (insert SteelSoldiers for TV). :beer:

I wanted to share with the list a very positive experience I had dealing with Justin. I bought an LWS for an M939 from him. I thought Justin said the kit was complete...something he took off a truck. Anyway, the kit was missing some parts that were necessary for the install. After talking...

First move I make once I get a CUCV home is to swap the glow plugs with new, non-swelling ones. I don't care if the ones I'm pulling work or not.

Makes sense. I actually prefer the 1400s, too. I was just looking at positives thinking there was a reason the OP wanted to swap 'em out.

For a second, forget the impressive size of the 1400s and think "more power" because that is exactly what you'll get with the smaller tires.

Neil, thanks for the info. This is a huge relief!

I am bringing the new style food containers (replacement for the Mermite). New (with inserts still wrapped in plastic and instructions): $65 each. Used (with inserts): $45 each. Sold out of these last year. Also, I am bringing one of the green plastic Cambro field coolers (used, excellent shape)...

I suggest tags and insurance if you are driving it home. I don't think anyone suggested that yet. Good luck with the recovery!
