Hello List! I know that the French contract Unimogs used the "roadster" type cab top and appear to have the drop side beds on the cargo/troop trucks but that's all I know about them* Are there any other neuances that set them apart from the Belgian or German 404s? Thanks. Regards, Matt * I...

Was curious to know if anyone on here has used the wagner (or other brand) airless spay guns that are sold in the big box stores for painting a vehicle? I've used them to paint a house but not a vehicle. When I had access to one, I was using a pnumatic spray gun & got great results with it...

Guys Well, I guess I could (or should) have posted this in the M715 & WC forums as well considering the tire size. I was wondering where is everyone getting their 9:00X16 NDT tires (& tubes) these days? It's been a very long time since I needed any but now that...

Anyone on here have any experience with the Steyr Puch/Mercedes G Wagon 230GEs? Swiss Army Vehicles sells them. Kind of remind me of a "Euro-CUCV". Are they any good? Matt

Hey guys I've found an M101(A1?) trailer that is for sale close by. It appears to be in pretty good shape with a solid bed floor (wood for racks & bows will need replacing) and no serious rust/rot. The tires & rims appear to be 9:00X16 NDTs from an M37. It has the...

Hey I was going to post this in the "5 ton mod" forum but thought that it really didn't fit so then I was going to post it in the "Conversations" forum until I found the "guntrucks" forum which is probably where this belongs. I was originally looking at images of M923 trucks (to see what one...

Hey guys! Was curious as to the difference in size between the old M54 5 tons and the newer 800 (& 900) series trucks. I don't have one to do a side by side comparison but it seems to me that the later trucks are much bigger machines. Sorry if this is posted in...

Hello Has anyone on here ever re-painted a bridge weight limit plate? I need to know what shade of yellow that is. The AFV I'm restoring has it's bridge plate painted directly on the hull...

Deuce jockys, I was wondering about this, and thought "there's no better group to ask" so here it is: Does the hard top on an M35 really reduce the noise inside the cab all that much compared to a soft top? how about the insulated soft tops...

Hey everybody! A fellow I converse with, on another MV site claims to have been a motorpool mechanic on mutts in the USMC. I have no reason to doubt him although some stuff he's told me doesn't exactly jive with what I know about the military (my own time in...

Hey! Ok I don't have any pictures of an M54 for you to look at because I'm not looking at a specific truck! That being said, I wanted to get the opinions of SS members on this: With the military dumping all of the 800 & 900 series 5 ton trucks, Does this have (if...

Hello I really like the look of the 5 ton combat rims on the 800 & 900 series 5 tons. Do they make that type or rim (bolt together) for the M35 deuce...

Hey everyone! I was wondering what a WC51 might weigh if it is missing it's engine, transmission, front bumper & gussets and it's rear bumperettes? The reason I ask this is it will determine what mode of transport I use to get this potential "jem"...

Hey guys! Does anyone know if the front clip (hood, fenders,radiator shroud) from a closed cab CCKW will fit on/to an open cab CCKW? Thanks...

Fellows -or Dodgemen!( if you prefer) My M151A1 restoration project is nearing completion and I'm starting to look around for another project. The MV I did before this current one, was a '44 WC51 and that was a 5 year frame off total resto. around the same time...
