. I keep coming back to that picture of the ribs that hold your top up... I wonder if you have some sort of home-made ribs - OR - maybe you have some from a Deuce on a 5-Ton or the other way around. Just looking without any real way to judge depth, I swear mine have a more pronounced bend at...

. Ugga Duggas require you to wear a ball cap when not in uniform. About five or six is enough - except for lug nuts. :)

. Nice! New Guts but it looks almost like the original. :cool:

. Under the door... Rocker Panel... I saw a thread somewhere here recently about making those repairs. Sheet metal bent to shape, then welded. Not something I know how to do but the thread was really interesting.

. They were similar but definitely different. The REO for example had "top loader" axles while the International looked a lot like what you have where the hogs head was loadedin from the front of the axle. The GMC (we only had three of them) was different too and all three had different...

. It may very well be a M135 or the M211. Hate to admit the only identifying thing I see on the axles is that pillar block - and I'm definitely not claiming all lnowledge of old trucks. Might be that the GMC is that way as well... What was SO neat about the international was that there were...

. Long years ago, there was a guy in our truck shop (Ed) that would spend HOURS reworking the window regulators and tracks on Deuces and 5-Tons. There are some small "clips" that hold the glass frame to the window regulator. Some sort of spring steel... Before you try to go any further, you...

. Yes Sir. Popular for things like the outrigger pads or the remote controls for the M-1089. Every now and again something falls out of the pipeline, but the vendor that manufacturer used to build the cranes mostly ignore us. Definitely a good term though! :)

. Well geesh... Seems that nobody noticed that you had joined up on Friday. Welcome to The Outfit! Have you got a particular vehicle in mind? Already have one? Got plans to look around for one? Yeah, I know. Lots of questions. Lots of really good folks here if you have questions.

. Very Nice and it looks like there was a nice turnout!

. Pete - Welcome to the Outfit! I hope you enjoy your new-to-you truck. Pretty much the questions you asked got answered, so about all I have to offer is a warm welcome to Steel Soldiers. Tim Mullaney

. I see the Chevrolet badge on the cab. Those rear axles look for all in the world like what was in the International 6x6. Even with a pillar block beside the hogshead like the IH... Anything on the motor that gives you any other clues?

. I happened to be sitting in traffic and noticed the "T" logo on the back of a vehicle. Nothing special about it whatsoever, but as I sat there waiting I spotted words on the right rear DUAL MOTOR. Picture (below) Guessing that is "special"?

. If you haven't found a used one already - maybe try a phone call to White Owl in Kinston NC. Those guys are pretty sharp and willing to talk. If you explain your situation, they might have a replacement or a box of parts that might get you where you want to be.

. Not a lot seems possible without somebody about 50 years old - and some simple logic. Seems that those who think they are mechanics have to be able to have some sort plug in port. Young'uns today have NO diagnostic ability if the computer can't show them the problem. Long before that was...

. Do you suppose that the "adjustment" to the turbo was a DE-MIL thing? Sure seems like a lot of effort when a small block of C4 would have solved it with less effort.

. Winder if while you are already doing - if replacement hoses might be a good investment. If what you have isn't new, the hoses might just be stuck to the radiator. Have had to slit them the long way to peel them off there in days gone by. :-(

. Happiness is DRIVING your new-to-you truck off the trailer for sure! Congratulations. Need to create yourself a thread in the LMTV section that will tell the story about what you plan to do. Snapping all kinds of pictures and uploading them will be a good way to start. AND, later when it...

. Hi Karl, Welcome to the Outfit! There is definitely a lot of "home built" additions on the old truck, but it sure looks military. Or at least the cab and axles sure seem to be. The cab looks like it could be an international harvester, but that would have a BIG in-line six under the hood...

. Ouch! Dang that looks like it might have been a pretty good hit too... Sheet Metal though can be fixed. Hopefully you came out alright.
