Just got back from a 350 mile trailer recovery from Camp Beauregard. Am I tired? A little. Are my ears ringing? No. Is my butt sore? No. I was driving the Cadillac of MVs, the M915A1. I just cannot say enough good about these trucks. 58 mph, 7 mpg, quiet (I got the muffler on...

Are y'all saying the 1964 dated Gates NDCC tires on my M135 may not be any good? Seem to roll down the highway at 58 mph just fine . . .

See the post I did "Radoactive gauge spotter's guide". Sportsman's Guide has a great deal on a Geiger Counter.

Drag the bed with a tractor under a tree or some other sturdy overhead brace, then use a comealong to winch the bed up and drive the truck under it. 2000 lbs is correct.

Sounds like a bearing in the transmission is finished. Very unlikely you will make the remaining distance without something coming apart. Sorry to be negative. Like you have seen, there are truckers everywhere along I-10 looking for loads.

Here is a pic of the Installation Instructions for the Kaiser Jeep Corp Personnel Heater Kit -25 deg, Kit no 944437. Saturn Surplus has the 24 volt motors NOS.

I'll be happy to post pics tomorrow of the correct heater kit for the 715.

It is the same heater as in the Gladiator pickups, only with a 24 volt motor. It was a kit from Kaiser. The kits are hard to come by. The motors are not. The underdash thing you are showing is a JC Whitney type universal heater.

What do you mean "stock M715 heater"? The stock M715 heater is not under the dash, it is in the engine compartment, and it will heat the cab to sweltering hot.

The "agency" is the Texas Building and Procurement Commission, any TX non-profit can draw from them. About twice a year the leftovers get auctioned to the public on GSA. This agency used to be called "State Surplus". Each state has an equivalent.

Pricing is what the agency had to pay to get the truck moved to the site plus some admin costs. This is at the SA Akerman Rd yard, correct?

Yes, what happend to that very good post? Took me all day to translate the Vietnamese writing on the deuce. Please repost, there was a lot of knowledge for the membership to be gained, especially about notifying LEOs before doing public events with "armed" trucks!

Yup 500 is a steal. This is how you want to buy these trucks, clean and rust free. There is plenty of other work to be done on them to be overwhelmed with rust repairs as well.

Wecome to the site. Hercules is Jerry Biro, Google his name for contact info, he's got the mother lode of Herc gas engine parts. Good luck with the repairs.

Grab the key with a vice grip and pry up with a chisel. Use a hammer to drive the chisel between the shaft and the vice grip. May take a few times. If you bugger up he key you can always grind it smooth again.

I LOVED when DRMS sold the surplus. Once a month you headed to your local base with a truck and trailer and came home with all kinds of booty for WAY less than "privatized" GL.

Can you flip it up and take another pic? Looks like a 20,000 lb.

33x12.5x16.5 Fits great and does not rub anywhere.

Here is my M1008. It has lived a hard life, first with the Army in Desert Shield, then as a municipal high water rescue truck, then reassigned to the city pothole patch crew. It is rusted, it smokes, the 12 volt wiring is a disaster, the bed is caked with asphalt, it has death wobble, the...
