    Converters for 24VDC to 12VDC/120 VAC ??

    Are there any military-grade power supplies that are able to convert 24 or 28VDC to 12 VDC to tun commercial accessories such as radios, CBs, etc? For that matter, any ones that can convert 24VDC to 120VAC to operate standard household items, like TVs, hair dryers, fridges, etc.? Just...

    another electrical problem

    This is on Rusty - I'm inclined to just sell it as is, I'm not making any money on her, really. But if it's simple, I'd be more than happy to fix it and make the new owner happy. Batts are dead. Truck starts and runs real well with a jump. However, when the truck is running, there is...

    Interested in offroading in Virginia?

    I am gauging interest in an early Spring rally for Steel Soldiers in the Virginia area. I found a couple offroad parks that are okay with larger vehicles, one is in Harrisonburg, VA, the other east of Charlottesville VA. Time frame would be late March or April, so this would be a warm-up event...

    Two more deuces home from Chambersburg

    Was going to post these last week, but got caught up in the Rausch Creek trip, and had to wait for more time. Me and Rob went to Chambersburg on Thursday, to pick up two more deuces and two M332 trailers from the GL site there. I must've got a lot number confused, because all the lots I...

    Dimensions of the frame of the M105

    I have yet to pick up my M105 chassis trailer (missing the bed) but I want to get some specifics about the size of the trailer frame so I can work on my camping gear trailer project. Just want to start with the planning phase. Does anyone have the dimensions of the M105 series trailer frame...

    Source for M-332 ammo trailer box covers?

    Does anyone know who makes/sells new or good condition bed covers for the M332 series of ammo trailers? I have two coming in tomorrow and they are missing the covers. I'd prefer vinyl camo, but anything is better than nothing....

    Ripping Gumby's rear end apart

    Had some time on Monday, to work on my ambulance project again. With the engine running okay, and the brakes all done, time to work on the body and get this beast together. Spent a little time working in the back end of the -725 ambulance. The floor consisted of a 1/2" piece of plywood...

    Strange bed mounts on M37

    Just stopped by ShieldWolf's place, looking at his M37 truck. He asked me what these mounts were for. They are located on the back side of the front of the bed, behind the spare tire mount on the passenger's side. I looked at his other M37 and they weren't there. They don't look like for any...

    stuff I'm bringing to Rausch Creek

    Okay, I am bringing a large snatch block that is reserved for No.2Diesel, but I have other stuff laying around that needs to find a home. Let me know if you have a use for it before this Friday. I'll bring it if you ask, otherwise I'll just leave it in the shed. Thanks for looking... large...

    Testing the alternator on the deuce

    I have a small current leak that is draining the batteries on the non-winch truck. Someone at Gilbert said I should test the alternator first, to see if the diode is the problem. He told me there was an easy test with a multimeter to check this diode problem. Can anyone shed some light on the...

    M35A2 supporting role in Resident Evil: Extinction

    Saw RE:X last night. Pretty cool movie for the gory sci fi, and if you love zombie movies. However, there was a M35A2 turbo diesel whistler in the movie that played a small supporting role. Very cool seeing OD green iron in a movie, and the sound effects from the engine whistling were dead...

    RAUSCH CREEK!

    Last chance to sign up for the RC rally near Indiantown Gap, PA. About near the intersection of I-81 and I-78 in south central PA. Who here is going? Also, since we may need to coordinate the convoy there, and what we all are bringing, this is the best place to do it. I plan on convoying...

    Deuce spitting coolant, but why?

    Hope someone responds to this soon, plan to leave for Gilbert PA in about 4 hours and hope this is nothing major... I changed the oil in the deuce today, checked all the systems to prep for the trip to PA. Filled the radiator all the way to the top. Then I took a 40-minutes ride around town...

    Drain Air Tanks Daily

    Okay, question: Do you need to drain the air tanks EVERY DAY, even if you don't use the truck, or just every day you use the truck/brakes?

    Gilbert PA fall rally - pics from last year 2006

    I realize that the Gilbert PA rally is coming up fast (this weekend actually), and I was looking at the pics from last year. I realized I never posted the pics for anyone to see, so I though I would do it here!

    MadDawg's weekend hard at work

    Well, Gumby is in the shop, getting some much needed brake work done to it. I have neither the time, patience, or knowledge to work on brakes, much less so if they have been sitting for many years. Also, while in the shop my mechanic found a plug in the oil lines, causing the pressure to peg...

    Bumper end markers for the winch deuce

    My winch truck has two openings, tubes if you will, on the outside edges of the front bumper. I believe these are the mounting posts for bumper end markers, so the driver knows where the edges of his truck are to allow for better turning in tight areas. However, my eyes aren't as good as they...

    Known fuels for the multi-fuel deuce

    Did a search, too many results.... Is there a concise list of all the known fuels that a multi-fuel M35 deuce can safely run on? Perhaps we should come up with a list of all the fuels, followed by any info like limitations of the fuel, mixtures, mods needed to the engine needed to run the...

    M725 blowing apart oil filters!

    Okay, for those of you who don't know the story, my M725 hasn't really driven in a LONG LONG time, sitting in a field. I have been slowly rebuilding it. Well, now it sits at the brake shop, ready for some work to be done on that end. But, the shop owner wants to idle the truck into the shop...
