Well, some more news - David (ArmyMan30Years+) came by last night and lent me a hand repairing the front floor pans on the -725. I bouht an entire driver's side floor pan from JeePanelsPlus last year, and in the meantime, the passenger's side rusted out as well (result of a rusted-open vent...

Am picking up my new rubber for the -725 this weekend, some military surplus 11.00x16 XL radials meant for the LAV. They are 38" tires, as opposed to the original 9.00x16s which were 34" high. Question is, since I am still using the M715 series rims on this truck, I will need tubes and...

Anyone going to this event? I wasn't going to do Pottstown and Augusta, but I was unable to head up to Pottstown today due to inclement weather. Will definitely have to trek up to NJ for this show, since I need a few more things for my build, and this is the last show prior to Aberdeen. I...

Anyone know of a good deal on a good quality HVLP paint gun setup, both for primer and paint use? End of the month is paint time, and I'm in the market for a good gun.

They are not for sale, but they sure are good solid builds! Here's the pages for the M715 dump with a 455cid: http://www.alfaheaven.com/Military%20Section/TZarmy/TZTrkPages/JeepPg.html And here's a restored M135 with a plow setup, very sweet...

Saw this down the road, I mentioned it in chat on Wednesday night, and a couple asked me to get a couple pics. Here's the info I got about it. 1956 Mack Model B gasoline dump truck. 131,000 miles. Tandem axles. Body is solid, surface rust only. Runs, but runs rough and needs work...

I think it would be a good idea to be able to sort, or have it sorted already, the information on the Parts Cross Reference page, by M-series model number of the vehicle in question. Looks a little disorganized to me...

Anyone going to this event next week? Small show, not too many parts, but it's a get together that is convenient to a lot in the SW PA area. Might be going up with a buddy in his new 1953 M37...first trip in his new toy!

Looking forward to Haspin 2007. Was it ever decided when the event would take place? Also, are there any folks from the middle Atlantic states, such as Virginia or Maryland, that would want to convoy out that way for the off-road festivities? West bound and down, loaded up and truckin!

Getting to the point where I am assembling parts now, instead of tearing down. I rebuilt the driveshaft this weekend, with new U-joints and it is awaiting install. I have to get underneath the back an spray some underbody coating next weekend, after which I will be installing the gas tank and...

Went to see a CUCV in my area today. I want to eventually get a CUCV or M880 series that I can use to go to the MV shows, and use as a beater truck (well, not TOO beater) to haul stuff for the house in. My Durango is nice, but no room to haul big or dirty things without messing up the...

Anyone have the VRC-12 series radio installlation manual for the CUCV series of trucks? Can't find it here, and LOGSA looks locked down to us peons. HELP!

Okay, time to add fluids to my truck, but the military manuals only list the applicable military standard fluids by NSN and mil type. Doesn't seem to correspond correctly with commercial off the shelf stuff. Here's what I am guessing for my M715 series truck: Engine oil: 10W30 Tranny: 90-W...

Okay, I have a used fuel tank that I had ReNu process done on. Want to reinstall the fuel tank, but before I do, I want to make sure the fuel sending unit works. Someone told me there's a quick and easy way to test a fuel sending unit with a multimeter to see if it will work, prior to...

Anyone got a plug wire diagram for the -715 series? I can't find anything in the manuals I got for my rig, and want to make sure I hook up the wires in the right firing order.

Not mine, but it's BEAUTIFUL condition! Just, no motor. In California, $1600 Buys it Now, here's the number: 130085071387

Okay, I love to see before and after shots of people's ride. Especially when the BEFORE shot looks like crap, and the AFTER looks like a stout, presentable ride that I would see at a show! Plus, it give guys like me a warm fuzzy feeling and give me encouragement to get working on my projects...

Okay, perhaps a few of the guys that have been talking about reflectors and warning lights can help out with this one. What are these holes that are just inboard of the reflector locations on my ambulance? Look like they were for some sort of civvy clearance lights. Anyone able to help? The...

I've seen a few SSers with the amber colored headlights floating around here. What's the best source for them? On a separate note, are they even legal to use in the state of Virginia, where I live? If a no answer to this question applies to me, then it makes no difference where to get the...

Anyone know the size of the U-bolts on the front and rear axles of the M715 series of trucks? Not the weird side "bent" U-bolts, just the standard ones. I need to know what to get at the auto parts store, and the manual is not very helpful. I'd take the old ones in, but I haven't cut them off...
