I would use it.

Cokertire.com, $420 ea. No need to get annoyed. No way for anyone to assume you know what is involved to manufacture tires.

Tread is NDCC not NDT. Non directional cross country. Tire manufacturing requires expensive dies. And minimum run quantities to make the run worthwhile. This size is available domestically new.

Just twist the ABC phase wires together and connect to your 120 volt generator hot, connect the white wire to 120 volt generator neutral. All the 120 volt shelter devices will power up except for any 3 phase units.

Maybe flooding engine after shutdown due to too much fuel pressure or float level too high spilling raw gas into intake?

Does not sound like classic M37 vapor lock but check that anyway. Make sure fuel line is routed away from exhaust manifold. These trucks will do this but typically after a long hot run. Next culprit might be Chinese coil. If it's chrome it's crap.

What is the condition code? Looks like an "F". Looks like a GM too. Remember, nobody spent 12 hours to R&R that just for shiggles.

What about ratio mismatch with the front? You will never be 6x6 again?

Get newer running gensets from 1099. Send these to auction. Lots and lots of work to rebuild the fuel systems on these.

Can't put a 20" tire on an 18" rim.

Gotta have an Ingersoll Rand 285B-6 impact wrench for this task.

I had to deal with a non-rolling GMC once. The wheel cylinders leak fluid out and cause the shoes to stick to the drums. If backing off the adjusters, banging on the backing plates etc does not free them, what I did in the field was to burn off the bolt heads that attach the backing plates to...

They were used on the DUKW too. Like you said, to get the track correct. They look just like the modern ones you see for sale for pickups, only bigger. I think they are 1.5" thk. They use Budd cap nuts. No hub stud change required. PM if you end up needing a set for your CCKW.

Haha Simp, I couldn't find the picture but I did a similar recovery back in the late 80's and I recall being completely exhausted then too! Something about flat towing is unnerving and causes you not to be able to relax while driving. Being "on point" for hours and hours is the drain.

4 hours travel time to Ft Polk, 3 hours messing with GP and preparing the truck for flat tow in a monsoon, then 5 hours return trip.

Well ok, good luck, I flat towed a LMTV 200 miles and the entire ordeal kicked my butt.

Yes the spare tire mount. One fit in each bracket. Looks like a Budd cap welded to a cube with dowel ears.

Huh? You want to drive an auction truck from Texas to Alabama, then use it to flat tow a dead truck from Alabama to California?

There are some pics of CCKWs with them while still in service. I think this was a mobility experiment, they never came from GMC with singles. The wheels are not in any way unsafe. The painful part of running them is the expense of new tires. 20 years ago, you could use Goat tires as...

Good looking shelter. What is it's designation? There is a big 'ol bracket that goes on the floor of the HMMWV to hold the S250 and retains it. Also extends out the tailgate so you have a porch.
