. Welcome to the outfit as a card carrying MV driving member! It looks like you have a nice truck to start with and it can only get better from here - right? :) I particularly like your member name... Nice play on the word!

. Think about the upgrade to disc brakes long and hard before you make that leap. The way it is now, your truck was engineered by a big company and the military - building all the parts as a group - into a finished truck. The further away from that you get, the more lawyers will want to "pile...

. Yes sir. Big and heavy too. About a 4ft tire iron will make life easier when you remove and install the tires. The drums & spyder are just plain heavy and it is really easy to scuff up a wheel seal when you put them back on. Not a problem so long as you know it matters... There was a...

. Heck of a welder. Those are nice beads...

. For sure and checking out the brake system carefully will improve your outlook on life - literally! You don't want to have "bite marks" in the seat where the peddle went to the floor... That checkup will be worth every minute that you spend.

. Looking good! Now what we need to see is a mud test... Does the mud rinse right off?

. And by the way Gamble there are stainless steel zip ties. That way you don't have to keep repairing the plastic ties every few years as the heat and old age work on them.

Welcome to the outfit talex419 ! I don't own one, but those really are neat machines... Congratulations on your New-To-You FLU :cool:

. Say what? What did you say? Huh? :cool:

. That article and truck and trailer are really fabulous! I stole the pictures (with attribution)... They are just too good to not be part of the SS collection. SOURCE: Backward Glances: Military M-818 6x6 and Shop Trailer From the Vietnam Era Jim Allen (Writer) February 7, 2018 Motortrend.com...

. That is a FANTASTIC price! I would guess that anybody here would be happy to pay that money including transport and smile all the way home. I think you are more than likely right. A couple of kids and a wife - even with two people earning - can see a problem spending money on a "toy". We...

. That is a MASSIVE tree! Yes indeed... Having the tractor and grapple sure made life easier!

. Wow! Darkness makes it look almost evil. Nice pictures!

. Toothpaste works really well. Especially the old time Colgate - plain old white toothpaste in a tube. Not the jell stuff... The white paste.

. Hey, don't worry over the "rough". That is easy enough. When I started on my M-936, it looked okay. Not great by any stretch of the imagination but the more I worked on one side - the other side just got worse and worse. Chipped paint with scrapers, then upgraded to a big heavy wire brush...

. Well - Congratulations on your new-to you truck. Glad to hear that you found somebody to get it home. Maybe pop the hood and give us a round of pictures. Maybe we can help you figure out how to get her running. Can you tell us anything about what it? Did the truck run - and stop? Or has...

. Like every other business or government agency... There are a few people who know what to do and why - and the rest of them -are just a bunch of MORONS who don't know how and worst of all Don't Care Glad that you got yours done!

. I can't help but wonder if the linkage has anything to do with the problem. I have a completely different truck - and Low range would work just fine. Hi range wouldn't work until I adjusted and lubricated that linkage. Might be that a good shot of WD40 might solve the problem...

. Welcome to the outfit! You will really enjoy it when it arrives - and it will seem to take FOREVER for it to get here. :cool: Best we have to offer is the TM reading material. At least it will give your brain something to do until then. We are looking forward to some pictures. Especially...

. Agreed! Heck, I think we might have more than 7 in our little online group here ;-)
