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.

You guys all out 10 grand while this circus goes on? GL must be thinking these things are appreciating in value somehow.

What is the purpose of the suspension kit?

them thangs. Combat Identification Panel. Gives a specific signature to IR viewing equipment. Used for IFF (identification friend foe) Picture credit Wiki/DOD

The truck had CIP panels as evidenced by the remaining brackets. The panel covers the fording extension pipe mount. So if it never had a fording kit, would not be USMC.

Sounds good, blow out with compressed air, then send some alcohol through the lines, then blow out again. If the lines are clean and you have new rebuilt wheel cylinders that are clean, I have collected the bled DOT5 with a hose and coke bottle and let it settle out the bubbles and any dirt and...

Eaton axles? The GMC has General Motors corporate axles. With grease lube wheel bearings. The 3rd member on the front axle points to the rear, on the M35A2 Rockwell axles, they are "top loading" and all spin the same direction.

Read up on "Arizona bonded title process". Good luck.

M35A2 transfer case front axle output shaft spins wrong way for the GMC front axle.

Thinking out loud, does the value of the few salvageable parts exceed the transportation costs to CA?

Here's a pic of my Wranglers. Super in slop.
