Is it the short lead that goes from the negative of one battery to the positive of the other?

This is a job for a glass pro. Even they break glass from time to time.

The bed is military, looks like a V17A-MTQ telephone maintenance truck. A long wheelbase tractor is a M48, not a M275.

Rossi??? Is that an Italian retrofit?

If the truck is SRW with 11.00's it most likely came that way from Reo. If you do a hub flip you will be the only person in the world flipping in that direction :-o. Lots of folks run dual 11.00's on deuces. The 331 called for OE30 which is straight 30 weight oil originally. I would run...

Sec. 504.502. CERTAIN EXHIBITION VEHICLES; OFFENSE. (a) The department shall issue specialty license plates for a passenger car, truck, motorcycle, or former military vehicle that: (1) is at least 25 years old, if the vehicle is a passenger car, truck, or motorcycle; Someone at the tax office...

THAT tractor can't be tagged as historic or FMV in TX either. Gotta go the full registration based on GVWR. About $400 a year.

Until you have your farm tags, former military tags, antique tags or whatever, you are operating an unregistered class 8 commercial vehicle which falls under volumes of regulations of the FMCSA. Any stop by DOT or law enforcement will not be a good experience.

To answer your second question, no, this was never done at depot level (i.e. replace the 250 Cummins with the 6CTA, etc). In the case of the 900 series 5 tons, the PMP seems to be just sandblast, paint, new coolant hoses, new radiator, new upholstry, new tires, oil and filter changes, wheel...

I've looked at a lot of Army surplus in my day but never have I seen one of those. Looks like a Viet Nam era CBC.

Joe, my load did not come from Nellis so I cannot help with advice there. My load came from the nearby Nevada Test Site. The GL ads for the 931s say that GL will load a flatbed. I would personally go out on a limb that GL and your trucker will figure out how to drive one truck on and then push...

A load board is an internet app where truckers and transportation brokers get together, such as "getloaded.com". There are numerous of these. You really need a broker working for you to set this up. You can use uship, but that is risky. I recommend truckingdeals.com as a broker. They have...

My load is already here ($1.80 a mile ouch). My plan B if I got in your situation was to call a Las Vegas heavy wrecker service (there are several) and have them Landoll the equipment to the storage lot until I could find a truck coming here. They charge $150 an hour for this. In reality we...

See the pic from Tlauden's M275 post. If I remember correctly, four of the bolt line up perfectly with rivet holes. The other 6 holes have to be drilled with great effort. Borrow a mag drill if you don't have one. The spacer plates are a piece of cake to make if you do not have them.

Looks a heck of a lot better than mine when I started on it. I think this one is a '67 from the registration number on the dash. The silicone brake fluid sticker on the dash tells me the Army was using it well into the late 80's. Don't fret the naturally aspirated LD engine, that thing can...

Inspection? In CO you have to have an inspection to title something? Most states you walk into the DMV with your SF97 and walk out with a title and plates. When you pick up your truck from GL, you are then able to apply online for the SF97. It is a blank form (HINT).

The bare blocks are the same. Save yourself a lot of trouble, find a good running engine from somewhere rather than rebuild your broke motor. Your dept shoud be able to draw a engine or complete truck from your state surplus agency.

Remember YOU provide the SF97 info to GL. DMV goes off that.

From my observations, the 900 series were built 83-85 and the 900A1's 86-87 ish.
