Don't mind Clinto. He has trouble dealing with the vast complexities of the CUCV. He sticks to deuces since they are brutally simple. I would have to agree, a trip to the GA Rally is certainly in order come October. I'll be making the 660+6 mile trip myself.
MS51983-1 and MS51983-2 are the lugnut numbers and they are common with the deuce and 5 ton front lugnuts. So to answer my own question, yes they are 1 1/2".
Thanks TMs
JW4x4 has a system rigged in his yard. Difference is that his are 4x4s sunk in the ground. He has a crossbar that spans the top and he drives out from under it.
Funny, I hear mention of subbing the wives for soldier B. My wife is Air Force and doesn't acknowledge the title soldier, only airman. Secondly, she won't even cut the grass on the side of the house where the trucks reside! In her world there is no such thing as a TM, it's a TO.
Joe, revisit post #11. It's even easier than rewiring like a standard CUCV. The ambulance ChevyC60 referred to is now mine. He installed 1 wire alts just like Mark did but added a second alt and just wired the lower alternator to the rear battery. It's brutally simple and works flawlessly.
If you want to experience rear steer at low speed, drive a forklift around. They are squirrely at just 10 MPH. The lock pin is a must. Elec over hydraulic is the way to go for sure. Once you get used to operating it you can have lots of fun in low speed parking lots, cruise ins and rallys.
Exciting news Papabear. Did Commander Warp seem pleased with his new hooch? Gonna need a longer boarding ladder or a portable stoop with steppage to tow around.
