    Finally won the Deuce

    I was doing well with the 12 step program but at those rock bottom prices I had to bite on another Air Force deuce, 1988 with the dual brakes and dropsides, missing the radiator, windshield, a door and of course the dangerous gauges! Love the AC Mack style cab appearance!

    Another M211 saved from the Scapper

    Something is amiss with that cargo bed! Looks to have some extra length grafted on, but what's up with the front bulkhead?

    M882 ecu

    Made in China modules? On my truck, I ran a seperate ground wire to the ignition module with star washers. This helped somewhat, but I still have issues with frequent failure of both the ignition and alternator regulator modules. I keep a few spares of both in the glove box.

    1943 gpw-need help looking for #'s

    Open the hood, and look down on the driver's side on top of the frame rail, right about where the shock mount is. The serial number (VIN) will be stamped there under a lot of crud. Will also be on the data plate on the glove box door. When you get it, post over on G503 and those guys will be...

    M108 crane on half-track

    Ya know, he is not too far off on the value. Those ragged cab and chassis half tracks are bringing big bucks.

    6 ton trailer

    That's the lame one. Canvas sides. You want the true expano van with metal sides that crank out and have windows. I've got one of those and I kinda wish I never bought it.

    m211 water pump

    Wow, nice job on the cab conversion, I had to study the pics quite a while before I saw the telltale signs of the open cab underneath. He got the rakeback on the windshield almost perfect for a closed cab. Do you plan on making her back into an open cab?

    M916 not so scary now

    About 2 days of detailing has resulted in a rather nice truck. This unit came from Ft Polk a few weeks ago, and at first I was not sure she was a keeper. Well that has changed now, we have bonded. I'm getting better and better with the 7155 transmission; I followed everyone's advice and now I...

    Rim Clips?? For snow chains?

    Bead locks. Was supposed to be a low budget replacement for combat rims. Military quit using them almost immediately. Amazing to see them still on a truck. They were only installed on the early 1951 trucks.

    Deuce towbar? Cover?

    Towbar looks to be the "large heavy" tow bar, if it weighs in at 300 lbs and has 1.5" pins. Useful for recovery of larger trucks such as the M915, M916, M920 et al.

    Antique Military Generator

    Why yes I do. They are specifically designed to go into a Quad Mount, which is a electrically powered turret that mounts 4 each 50 caliber machine guns. The quads were mounted in half tracks during WWII and deuces during Viet Nam. The generators are sought after by people restoring these type...

    Suspect M135 vacume advance problem

    The coil on the dist should be clocked completely away from the engine. Sounds like the dist is stabbed wrong.
