What era? There have been three systems in use over the life of the M101 trailer.

Try calling some of the surplus dealers that were around then that are still in business. They all were extensively networked then and now. White Owl, Memphis Equipment, others? The old-timers there may remember.

Hi Darron and Zoe, nice photo shoot/documentation. Truck is in better than average "as found" condition, have seen much worse. Not sure about the "radar body", looks to be a garden variety M211 cargo. You can put a bed from a later M35A2 on in no prob, also swap out all the bad tires with...

11R-24s from the 916 will get you 10 mph, same as 395s.

Ask the vendor mentioned in the above thread what they did with the middle axles. They might still have some or direct you to who they sold them to.

For hopelessly stuck caps, before you damage the yoke by beating on it, you sre better off burning the cross out with a torch and then knocking the caps out one by one. Just ran into this last weekend. The U-joint is not very expensive.

Robert, I feel your pain. My first beloved M883, named Gidget, had to be parted out for the reason you describe. Dirt got trapped between the gas tank and the frame and rotted it out there. I got a replacement truck from New Mexico, and the first thing I did was sandblast and prime and paint...

Wheels with wallowed out or egg shaped lug holes need to go STRAIGHT TO THE SCRAP PILE. The air impact will blow the paint on the threads into tomorrow.

Obtain a new wheel and take your truck and the wheel to a truck tire shop and get them to fix your situation. Watch what they are doing so next time you will understand. Hit up pawn shops looking for a 1" impact wrench with extended anvil.

Yes.

Not one for 416 volts. The military used 208 volts almost exclusively.

So GM could save a few cents per vehicle on copper wire.

1. Check to see if you have spark. 2. Check to see if gas is getting to the carb. 3. Check to see if the float stuck open and flooded the engine.

Military trucks only used overhead valve Continental engines, but many many forklifts and generators (mil and civi) used flathead Continental Red Seal engines. Somewhere else on the engine should be the engine model number, starting with a letter such as F, M or B, followed by the displacement.

Its the dangler. Someone was too lazy to take the broke one off.

Lots of challenges to overcome. The engine compartment just fits a 386 CI six. The rear suspension rests on 4 puny volute spring packs. Will the available front axle ratios match the ratio of the rear drive?

Pass on it. Too much work to fix given the better ones around.

i can hold stuff in the Houston area for later pickup. TornadoGT is coming to my place on the Houston leg of the trip next weekend.

Battle Creek EUC processing previously had to deal with the volumes currently seen back in the deuce dumping days. When the 939 series 5 tons were de-EUC'd, the volume went to a trickle. Thankfully, the gov't did not keep dozens of people sitting around doing nothing. They will have to pick...
