Don't try to use the tailgate off that Suburban, they are different.

The Borrego Springs off road trip with parade is the weekend of 23 to 25 October :-D.

Oh yeah, she took the picture of me in the snow...

I bought my wife her own Army truck. It's on her finger. She lets me play with the deuce and CUCV and she actually likes the Pinzgauer. She also likes the interesting people at the club meetings. I am a lucky guy. Matt

I believe it is 205 to 210 hp, definitely more than the LDT-465 engines found in M35A2's. 468 cu in = approx. 7.7 Liters

I feel sorry for the guy, but I agree that he made things a little worse by waiting nine days to get medical attention. He's luck he's not dead or on permanent kidney dialysis.

I'm pretty sure there is a position between "lock" (fully counter clockwise) and "run" (second postion clockwise from "lock") that unlocks the steering wheel, but your suggestion is a good, safe way to prevent glow plug damage.

We have a local MVPA chapter that meets on the second Sunday of the month in Irwindale: Southern California Military Vehicle Collectors Club Homepage Index It's nice to have another SO-Cal MV collector aboard. Welcome! Matt T.

The light suggestions above are right on. Another thing you have to do...the CUCV operator's manual says you have to remove the rear drive shaft if you will be towing over 35 MPH or travelling over 50 miles in distance. I've never towed my CUCV, but a friend who has unhooks the driveshaft at...

Fuel gages mean nothing, too. Thie weekend I filled up the deuce and the gage read barely over 1/2 a tank. Look inside the tank or use a stick.

Check the "spider", the common ground point for all of the gages. If it is loose or has a dirty contact screw, all of the gages will be intermittent or not working at all. You "should" have a mechanical tachometer with a drive cable. The only electrical part is the instrument light bulb that...

I see that Frank Busalacchi has a lot of history with the Teamsters union. Does anybody have friends in the Wisconsin Teamsters that they could convice to talk to Mr. Busalacchi and try to talk him out of this proposal? Some Teamsters also happen to collect old trucks. I shudder to think...

I've heard that the LDS 427 engines are "bad", though no one has ever explained to me why. Everybody and their uncle owns an M35A2, so I think it would be neat to own and M35A1.

My 1970 will go 57 MPH indicated at 2700 RPM. I only did that once. My cruising speed is about 53 MPH at 2500 RPM.

Will, you can hide the Unimog at my house. (Just kidding, my wife would notice):-D

Maybe you could try a shop vac duct-taped down to about 1/2 inch or smaller tubing. The stiffer the tubing or hose the better - otherwise you'll have a hard time directing it. Just a thought... Good luck

Bobbing means taking a nicely engineered 6x6 truck, whacking a few feet off the frame, cobbling together some sort of rear suspension, usually with a set of front springs, and re-installing one of the rear axles. The result is a home brew big 4x4. I prefer trucks in their original form myself...

6602 is the huge 602 cubic inch motor for the gasser 5-tons. I don't know if this is the correct fuel pump or not.

My 1970 has AM General on the data plate, which I assume is correct. It also has 24087 paint underneath the cammo.

Cell phone pictures are cool, and welcome to the site!
