The troop seats and bows were the first items to get scrapped when the M880's went to fire service. The troop seats can be found, but the bows and the associated metal strips with the 1/4 turn fasteners are hard to find. And when you do, they have to go high dollar truck freight because the...

Anybody knows what this was used for? It is marked Army Air Corps. It should have a duct attached. Ran it through the paint shop today. There was WWII OD under the yellow paint, so that is what I went back with. Made by Herman Nelson.

Looks like you figured it out. The trick to uploading the pics is to make sure they are under the size limit. Anyway, did you have a question? I do, why is your transfer in your bed?

OK, need some help from any of you who may own one of these trailers. My new one is a Feb 1968 manufacture date, serial 10686. But the part of the data plate that lists the manufacturer is not readable. Is my trailer a Dorsey or a Fontaine or? Hopefully that may be apparent from the...

The PTO for the G749 is like no other. It mounts on the transfer case into a huge non-standard opening. The lever mounts under the drivers seat right next to the transfer case lever, on the same shaft.

If points and condenser don't fix it, it is a not enough fuel delivery to carb problem. But my bet is on ignition like David said.

Mullins Jeep Parts has that lunette bracket casting for $75 NOS.

Date of delivery 1963. That would be right before the multifuels came out. Gotta love a Diamond T.

Take a look at this thread: class 4 trailer hitch m1008

Looks like it is worth keeping whole. The axles are the same on 5 tons from 1950 to the end of the 800 series (250 Cummins) production in the late 70's. The 6602 trucks are getting hard to find as nobody wants to use them because of the fuel economy issue. But there are collector types out...

Heck no. USDOT registration, TXDOT registration, medical card, random drug testing consortium, $750,000 liability. All for a hobby vehicle. Not puckering up when you see a state trooper? Priceless.

Extremely good advice. Don't forget the deuce costs about .40 a mile to operate at $3.00 a gallon diesel. I started off in this hobby with a M38A1 Jeep at your age. Learned a lot from wrenching on that. When it broke, my dad would come with a chain and pull me home. Can't do that with...

Is this the Hawaii truck?

The M915A1 has an Allison transmission, but the M915, M916, M919 and M920 all had the Cat transmission you are talking about. There are several threads on that transmission here on Steel Soldiers and they all mention that the controller (picture) is the root of a lot of problems with the...

Had a loadout today at the Texas Forest Service office in Lufkin, TX. This is the agency that gets military trucks from the services, converts them into brush/fire trucks, and accepts the dead ones back from all the FDs throughout the state. They are then put on GSA for auction. For some...

Sweet! All you need is your TWIC card and you can come down here to the port and haul 20' containers . . .

Very nice Jimmy! Even looks like you have the correct bed. Welcome to the site, there are quite a few GMC enthusiasts here, including me. ('42 CCW)

Bring a copy of your vehicle registration receipt. It is required at security.

OK, the A/C is a MTVR kit offered by dilvoy here on the forum. I like this kit as opposed to the Red Dot being offered because it has the slab condenser that goes in front of the radiator as opposed to the HMMWV roof mount condenser type with the 2 parasitic electric fans. The trailer does...

Same proven Allison trans used in thousands of garbage trucks, Greyhound buses, etc. What's funny is it shifts just like it's ancestor, the Hydra-matic 303M in the M135 deuce. Hold on for the 2-1 downshift . . . BAM!
