    Cargo Cover -XLWB

    The factory extended height cargo covers are nice. They look a bit strange on a truck, but they are very nice to use since you can walk inside the cargo bed almost upright.

    Help with M817 Troop Seats and Cover

    I PMed you. I have NOS troop seats and most of a set of bows, but no cargo covers that I want to part with. You can buy them directly from the manufacturer (NOT GMA), but they want almost $500 for the cover alone. I tried to get GMA to make one for me, but to no avail. They turned me on to...

    C.A.R.C. Cost and Supply:

    NONOTAGAIN (let me say that I like your screen name!): It sounds like you have a lot of knowledge about the paint from your post. I defer to you. With that said, I know that a dealer from whom I had purchased paint previously told me they stopped because they found out a lot of civvies were...

    C.A.R.C. Cost and Supply:

    Clinto: great point. MAVERICK1701: I agree. There is nothing like the actual color, texture and look of real CARC. I actually seriously gave thought to using GCI until I found fresh CARC more than half way across the US. I anted up and bit the bullet for the right stuff. The problem is...guys...

    C.A.R.C. Cost and Supply:

    CARC used to be much cheaper...and I mean like a year or so ago! The prices have gone up and, if you have it and are a civilian, people are figuring a nice profit. That paint costs in the $79/gallon range (the price varies by color). I know...I just bought 40 gallons and 20 gallons of catalyst...

    Price for a 814

    As Jay and Jeff both stated, I do have a nice M814 for sale. Josh, I sent you a PM about it. The truck is ready to drive home!

    where do i get 5 ton transfer case parts?

    Call John Winslow...252-883-2509. He has spare transfer cases and sprags, too, if that is your problem. He can either do the work for you, or send the t-case to you.

    814 comes home

    Jeff, glad you liked the truck. The deal was great from my end as you were a pleasure to deal with! I am happy to say that I've made another friend. I hated to see the truck leave, but I needed the money for my HEMTT and M936A2 projects. I can't wait to see pics of the truck with the NOS 3...

    Water Buffalo M149A2 conversion

    If the water buffalo is nice, I suggest buying an M200 and a 600 gallon fuel pod. Heck, buy two fuel pods and a reel assembly and turn a 5 ton into a true fuel truck. M149A2s that are in nice shape are very valuable and are fairly rare. I have seen nice water trailers bring upwards of $1500...

    m105a2 cover

    I agree with Mark...go to GMA. You are getting ready to pay more for the cargo cover than the trailer, though!

    Trailer towing M35a2?

    My reco...buy a 5 ton tractor. They are dirt cheap, have a more powerful motor, bigger brakes, AND power steering among other benefits. The only issue is, in some states, using them in the way you want may require you to have a CDL.

    Is this a heater???

    It is definitely not an A3 heater as the A3 heater looks almost identical to the A2 heater except it is in the cab under the dash...and has a slightly higher output.

    Wanted Cargo top hooks

    TNJ Murray has them for sale on their site and they are brand new.

    Engine oil type

    Thanks, CLINTO. I agree with Kenny. While some people swear by a certain brand, it really makes almost no difference for the amount MOST of us use our trucks. My only recommendation would be to use a good name brand...Shell Rotella, Mobil Delvac, Valvoline, Quaker State, etc. Most studies seem...

    Where to buy end curtain rope?

    Before you start buying rope, make sure you consider the option of purchasing another end curtain with the ropes. I have purchased end curtains that were used, but were fresh, for $15 at Aberdeen. I am not sure what the rope will run you, but you might be able to get another end curtain for...

    Maryland Military Vehicle Campout

    You may want to rethink your timing because there is a fairly big rally planned for Rausch Creek in PA in October. A campout would be cool, though!

    M49A2C Question/advise?

    Even the water trucks I have seen have the rear compartment with doors. I don't recognize the body.

    M49A2C Question/advise?

    I had a 1987 M49A2C and it looked nothing like your truck. I do not recognize the body. I have never seen an M44 series fuel truck that did not have the doors on the rear pump compartment. That could be a civilian body, it could be a body off of an older military truck, or it might be correct...

    G/L bait and switch

    Can you attach the pics from the auction listing? I would love to what the trailers looked like. An M105A3 is very distinctive. Sorry to hear about your problems.

    5-ton XL WB blues

    HARDTIME: Contact me via PM. I have two very nice M814s. One of my trucks is cherry...a complete overhaul with fewer than 100 miles on it (everything is new or rebuilt). The other is a really nice and solid truck with about 13K miles on it. The latter truck has troop seats on it. The...
