    Dodge Frankenstein in Spokane

    That was an ambulance that was hacked and a pickup bed added. No longer a collectible.

    Spotted this in San Isabel NF Colorado

    Ford GPW, likely 1942-43. The G503 crowd can tell you the day it was made and the name of the Ford employee that attached each part.

    M715's Ancestor - Sold on GSA

    Did you see this marvel on GSA, 1963 J3000 sold today upwards of $7500. All the DNA of the M715 down to the Tornado engine. I can see how, after successfully marketing this truck and engine for YEARS, Jeep figured this platform would work great for the Army. I suspect the 5.87 gears coupled...

    FMTV starter issues

    The A1s suffer from solder joint problems in the PDP due to lead free solder. These can be very intermittent and temperature/humidity dependent.

    M936 Transfer Case Blown

    It's a T-1138. They tend to do that under certain circumstances which you are now familiar with.

    What's your best 'that was dumb' moment involving your 5 ton?

    I did a complete rebuild on the front axle and put the hubs on the wrong side. Everything was buttoned up and I realized my mistake when it was time to put the wheels back on.

    S-250 shelter recovery - how best to haul

    Shelter could have been equipped for one of hundreds of applications, this would be listed on one of the three data plates on the door, which in your case have been ruined by sandblasting. Military likes to use these for storage boxes after they are obsolete, which can happen quickly.

    Tires

    They feel great and are awesome off road. The bad is that they have pitiful grip on wet or icy roads and they wear out in maybe 5000 miles.

    Is This One of Us? This Is Incredible to See

    Glad to see they did not have the cargo bed full of evacuees. But they did have children with no pfd's. The National Guard and governmental first responders were under strict orders not to perform these kinds of stunts. Call in a boat rather than risk evacuees' lives.
