    My new M1008 and a Gazillion questions

    At 55 you might get 14-16 depending. Expect in the 10 range at increased speed. Extended periods at 65 may be a little stressful for the 6.2.

    Newbie with some M101A3 questions...

    Your Ford will likely do OK. The M101A3 is one of the best small trailers you can get. Your appears to have all the racks, bows and maybe even a top. 55" between the inner fender wells means it will carry most stuff that fits in an 8' bed. The HMMWV tires sway a bunch when not properly...

    My new M1008 and a Gazillion questions

    Great truck. Not too fast but quite sturdy. I have a magnetic one I stick on the floor but the floor gets mighty hot and the drinks do too. I have the basic one Warthog mentioned but the contractor one looks inviting.

    I've had great results with mineral spirits as well.

    Correct, the M116A2 is much smaller than the M103A3

    Official 2013 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR13 thread

    Was trying to find a workaround for you. Since you've stepped in it, yes that is still the plan but the plot thickens. Can you drag back a 3/4 ton genset trailer? Lord, what am I doing to myself?

    Official 2013 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR13 thread

    I have an M1061A1 that I need to get north. Was thinking (stupid me) that if you were driving the big truck, you could tote it on this trailer. Nix that idea! As useful as it was, I may have to leave my Clubcar behind this year.

    Have you given up on loading it in the back of the truck? What are you driving up? (gears in head turning)

    M 1008 U Bolts Modification

    Watch the spring plates on the mounts for the bottom out bumpers. On most they hit!

    Help identifying early deuce - M47 dump?

    That's a super cool truck and I'd buy it in a second. I've only seen a few of the M47s. I've owned 2 of the dual wheel version M59. One gave it's life so the other could live. It now rests comfortably with hndrsonj.

    M200 Trailer - Non Diamond Plate?

    Was just looking at the Utility Tool and Trailer link. That M200 they show there is a very recent production with the smooth steel. It has the single 22.5 tires. Looks like if you want something period correct for the 70's, the diamond plate would be the right stuff. Also, the mil standard...

    M200 Trailer - Non Diamond Plate?

    The TM I cited may be 1985 but it does show the 1968 date for when the trailer came out. Isn't that what you were seeking? The 1953 M108 I formerly owned used diamond plate extensively as did the 1952 M275.

    These are new CUCV transfer cases that have been demilled? If so can you explain the demilling process?

    Jerry can repair with Por 15?

    I used it to seal a semi porous tank from a 62 GMC panel and it worked perfectly.

    You could also incorporate the overhead patient sling boom to raise the tire.
