'65 Ford sounds quite accurate. The 2J8879 VIN is also the Army registration number which is stenciled on the hood.

I would highly suggest you remove the outer bearing and clean it of the filings and shavings that may have worked in there. Leave a little weight on the tire and remove the nut, and the bearing will pop right out.

See post 3.

I checked, McMaster Carr has them. I believe they are all 20" ID., but better verify.

Left ones in pic.

Looks like a factory 686 tan "E" VIN suffix truck. Lotsa painting to do to get rid of all the tan up underneath and everywhere. They are a fun truck for sure.

Would love to see your 724. Take pictures with your phone or digital camera, upload them to your computer using the cable, then press "go advanced" when making a thread reply. Then press "manage attachments". Then press "add files". It will let you search for the pictures on your computer...

The steel wheels are all over ebay for $65 each. These are a waste product for the tire flipper crowd. Search "LMTV wheel". Send me a PM if you want to sell your aluminum rims.

You should study TM9-2320-280-20. Pin H on the light switch connector is wire 21A which branches to the rear to feed 21C, 21E 489A and 489B at the lights. Pin H goes forward as wire 491A to feed the hood harness. Sounds like since all the lights are faulty, the problem is very near pin H on...

There is a thread here that discusses an electrical connection in the heater that is faulty and can actually catch fire. Found one thread, think there is another: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?161711-LMTV-FMTV-Heater-Fan-Blower-Switch-Failure-amp-Repair&highlight=heater The...

Can you please re-read your post and make corrections? It appears you have no problem. Clearance and marker lamps do not light in "stop light".

I think I saw a little fishy in there. Looks like an aquarium.

I think something looks wrong on that xray. Maybe get new Steelsoldiers member TOBASH to look at it, he fixes things like that. Hope it heals up. You and gravity, not friends . . .

What really smells fishy here is, if this truck sold a year ago on GP, why does it have a bonded title? Those cost $600. Why didn't the dealer just process the GP paperwork? Unless of couse he never had any because???

OK, point taken. The title is now in your name. The previous owner cannot take the title in your name and correct it at the tax office. So it's on you, unless you transfer title back to him, have him fix it, and transfer back to you. Each time paying plenty of fees. So let's say you decide...

I don't have a dog. Hey, you asked for opinions on what to do. I suggested let it go, take it to the supreme court, it's up to you to decide which way to go with your little issue.

You should stamp 1998 on the data plate and go on with life. Nobody cares and the vehicles did not change during that time.

You made a great decision on tires, better to not buy someone else's used crap for the price of new. CUCVs came with Firestone tires when delivered.

If you figure out the brake locking issue please post the solution. The Arvin Meritor axles were a "one of" and no parts seem to be available. I have been asked by several agencies to assist with the brake locking issue on the II's and came up empty. I get the impression the II's had...

Too funny. Prestolite's qc testing missed that. No wonder Uncle sent the truck to DRMO: "thing won't start even with a new box!!" Actually, things sometimes happen in manufacturing. We shipped an entire shift of residential A/C units with no fan blade. Supposed to install later but the...
