Hi, If you have a 5 ton dump, and are interested in a troop seat kit (fiberglass troop seats, bows, and 3 color camo vinyl cover...all unused), a friend (GIJOECZAR on this list) has four kits available. These are not mine...but they are at my house and I've seen them (heck, I bought one!)...

Dave (rattlehead), will you be taking the M932A2? Bruce

David, John Winslow has an old yellow gas-powered M62 that he might part out. It is worth a call.

Tom Bauer in Eldersburg, MD had one a year or so ago. I bet he still has it. I know he wanted to sell it. Mechanically, it was very nice, but it had the wrong tires on it and the wrong bed installed. I believe he has an expandable van body on it now. I think it started out life as a...

The story I heard was that there was a big push in the early 60s to go to a motor that could burn "multiple" fuels. Perhaps, to echo CITIZENSOLDIER's comment, Mack refused to redesign their motor to be a mult-fuel. I will also add that I've spoken to several NG guys and no one had anything...

Was the place in Ft. Collins, CO? I know there is a business there that sells trucks and surplus. What about Gene Pantano in Colorado Springs?

Rizzo, that is nice truck! I would think someone would be lucky to buy that truck for $3900.

The reason they are a demil item is because parts from them could be used to support an armored vehicle...or so I was told. In other words, the engine, tracks, drive sprockets, etc. are the same on the M113s. I've owned one M548A1 and one M1015A1...both really are the same vehicle, although...

It all depends upon the period you are trying to represent. If you want to represent current vehicles, you can do no better than 686A tan CARC. Not everyone likes the tan trucks, but your truck will be current looking and it will stand out from the huge number of camo deuces and 5 tons at...

Does he want $80/$100 each or for the set of 5? $80/$100 each is way too high...$80/$100 for the set would be about right.

I've done the same thing. By the time you put all that time and effort into it (not to mention the money for the wood and hardware), you'd be much better off buying a nice set from someone. I've paid around $75 per side for fiberglass troop seats... Good luck!

Those are probably nicer accommodations than the truck saw in active service!

Kenny, how did the tractor do pulling that load?

Jason, I believe the straps on your cargo cover are the rubberized kind. Those, I believe, are a GMA patent...at least I've never seen them any other cargo covers except for GMA covers. I believe their website says something about this, too. If the cover was made by GMA, it will be imprinted...

Well, I might be wrong...that sure as h*** looks like a GMA cover on the M36A2 pictured. After my experience with them, I would have sworn there was no way they carried any speciality truck covers...especially after they told me as much...but they must make them, at least on occasion.

It may be true that they make other covers, but I will predict that they do not have a cover for the M36A2. I called them for a dump cover and they sent me to a competitor! I am not saying it is not worth a try...only they will not be able to help. As you said, let's wait and see..

I think you'll find that GMA does NOT carry any of the specialty truck cargo covers (dumps, extended beds, etc.).

PA.RICH: Good luck finding dump parts...there are very few residues around that are worth anything...and the parts are worth good money when you can find them (I know...I pieced together all of the dump control linkages for my old M817). I offered you a very good used dump bed (with subframe...

Bjorn, I am not sure the answers to your questions, but I believe he did the installation correctly so I would assume he did. I know that truck does not smoke much, which would be a sign that the fuel was turned up.

Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of the motor. Maybe, Kenny has them. I vaguely remember taking pictures for Kenny, but I might be mistaken since I normally keep all the pictures I take and I don't have them in my file.
