Welcome! Sure, which brake parts does it need? Brakes consist of master cyl, air pack, lines, hoses, 12 wheel cylinders, and 12 shoes.

Check the simplest thing first, is the vent on the front gladhand covers missing or plugged?

Welcome. Seems like the only remaining item you have connected is the voltage regulator. There is a large noise suppression capacitor inside, sounds like it may have degraded and is passing electricity.

Needs to be bolted. Welded like that will likely crack. My $.02.

Unbelievable. It's been said that Uship is a breeding ground for noncompliant shippers.

No big deal. I don't get too excited about prototypes that were FAILURES. They played no part in military history other than amusing some technicians at the proving ground.

Dude 1442 people have viewed your thread, I would call that interest. Just because people have not chimed in don't mean a whole lot. I was GOING to post that those headlights kinda burn out alot, but did not want to rain on your parade.

To answer your question: (Credit David Doyle) Lansing-built trucks Trucks built in Lansing, Michigan, carry data plates reading Reo Motors, Reo Division of White, Lansing Division of White. These trucks have six-digit all-numeric manufacturer’s serial numbers, which in addition to appearing...

Carefree Hwy is Hwy 74 on the northern outskirts of Phoenix. Should be no problem to get roadside tire service that close to Phoenix.

Yes but the '95s would have been factory equipped with GM engines, and the '02's with GEPs, but either could have been repowered with either at reset. The GEP engine is greatly improved over the GM, although both are just fine.

Looks like a handful more of these found new homes yesterday 2/21/19. Reserve looks to be $8500. Getting tempting ... Question for the lucky buyers, did yours have a GM or GEP engine?

I would do some homework, you gotta know that thing will need 14 tires, and if that size is unavailable, the unit is basically a conversation piece.

From the Fred Crismon "Wheeled Military Vehicles" book.

I tried the 36,000 trailer with the A2 as well, even with LDS power, the axles, transmission and transfer were red hot after a few miles. Soon thereafter a 915 joined the fleet for this kind of work.

That 425 tire was not used in the military except on that trailer. The tire is used as a steer tire on trucks that need floatation like cement mixers etc. That size is seldom stocked new or used anywhere, and it is expensive, even Chinese Doublecoins are $600. Name brand $800 and up.

My advice to you is to have a hd wrecker come get it and put in storage. Then send a new carrier to haul the trailer the rest of the way on top of another trailer. It is not safe to tow a trailer with the axle chained up like that clear across the United States. The tires pictured in the...

Your 550 is probably 11,000 and the 109 is 16,000 ish, that is right at the edge of safety. So no flaming from me. Truck looks really good!

New Life Canvas has it for $196 . . .

Oh yes, no problem with two 6TLs. 4 are only needed for arctic operations.

That is one nice 880 and great dog too! 42 years old means nothing, those trucks can be incredibly dependable once the bugs are worked out.
