Sorry Streetbike, project is a bit on high center while I take advantage of the dry weather to get some sandblasting done. I did take a lot of measurements and the evaporator/heater housing will more or less fit where the heater in the 915 is. Some sheet metal work will be required to make...

Welcome to the site. The carb has one hole pointing up at the air cleaner but if you look down inside you will see there are two barrels. Yup you got a reasonable deal if your truck runs and drives. The truck does not need a 4 -bbl to work it's azz off. Let's see some pics!

The rules for Texas former military are specific: "The vehicle may only be used for parades, club activities, exhibitions, and other functions of public interest and not for regular transportation". I never use my military trucks "for hire" or in a commercial enterprise. This would be...

OK, running M915/M916/M920/M818's legally in Texas: (hobby use only) 1. Get insurance. Tell your agent you have a truck-tractor that you wish to use on your ranch for hauling your personal equipment. I was able to get Progessive Commercial. The agent will do a "filing" with TXDMV. Don't...

OK, we need details and clarifications. Were you able to get one of the trucks to crank and run and that is the truck you used to towbar the other? What did it take, batteries? How about the next batch? Did you eyeball any of those? How were your trucks on rust? Have you driven a M915A1...

I just bought a M1031 with 3000 miles. Under the hood, everthing is shiny. The upholstery shows zero wear. You will be able to tell in an instant. The military is not exactly gentle with trucks, and over 100,000 miles would look very well worn in every respect.

I believe that is a standard 18 wheeler part obtainable from a truck parts house.

Two words: Welding machine.

Welcome to the site. Brakes are as good as any when working correctly. Looks for stuck pistons or calipers, or at that mileage, worn linings. Truck was always 12 volts, the 24 system was an add-on that is independent from the 12 volt system. Check for cracked hoses on top of the gas tank...

Well help us out a little more. Is (was) it a 6x6, 4x4, 4x2? Reo made some of the Studebaker design 6x6 deuces during WWII. The engine in those was a Hercules JXD. Of course pics would help.

Please let us know what you have as soon as you have gone through it.

Your Jimmy has to be in perfect running condition to be able to hand crank it. I've done it a few times just for fun and it's not very easy. You have to kick it over really fast with 3/4 of a revolution and it will catch.

Whenever I travel with the M915, I make a list of every heavy wrecker service along the travel route, any truck repair shops, and heavy duty parts houses. So far the ol' girl has never left me on the side of the road except for once when the throttle linkage fell off the ball stud. That took...

I don't know where in the great state of Texas you are, but in Houston, Olson and Guerrera Lumber Company has 2" x 12" true dimension oak trailer decking for $2/ft. They come in 12', 14, 16' and 20'.

That one went under the radar. Worth way more than $4600. Looks like a USMC with the fording pipe? Where or where would someone find an engine for that???:roll: (sarcasm)

If you have your bent driveshaft, just take it to a driveline shop and they can retube it for you inexpensively.

It's a banjo transfer out of a WWII CCKW. Made by GM. Runs 80W-90 gear oil. That has to be the most messed up CCKW I have ever seen, sorry. Looks to have been a '43 closed cab. That driveline was the forerunner of the M135/M211 (G749) trucks.

Fits the carrier engine in the 1970's Army American 2380 rough terrain 20 ton lattice boom friction crane. You are probably better off trying to find a customer that rebuilds marine engines.

Build it original and have your truck admired by everyone at MV shows. Build an abortion and get snickered at and ignored. Either way build what you want in your heart for your needs.
