Hey Jackson, welcome to the site. Nice truck ya got there. I'm suprised you could not find a decent local truck. With Ft Hood right down the road, your area is covered with surplus . . .

I think your 915 and mine have the same issue with power. Reb87 advised it is the "P" part of the "PT" fuel injection pump. There is a steel tube that goes from the air box to the top of the pump, this sends a boost signal (Pressure) to the pump to step up the fuel. Our trucks are not...

I will be interested to find out how others have solved this problem. The receiver hitches will not bolt to the bottom of the frame in the usual manner because of the lifting shackle extensions. My solution was to obtain a receiver hitch for the Chevrolet application, and then make angle...

Look for ( in no order): Torque rods with bad rubber, puffing or lots of smoke from the crankcase vent, running on less than 6 cylinders, won't exceed 45 mph, rusted rockers and cowl, oil coming from the brake drums, really late clutch engagement, clutch slipping, oil puddles under truck...

PT911, you need a ATF Form 6 to import armor, not a EUC. Go to the East Bloc thread and do some searching on "importation" and "Form 6", you will learn a lot about what you are trying to do.

Very nice LeRoi Compressor Truck. Very stock except for the sandblast pot. A rare to find WWII corps of engineers workhorse.

No, you misread, that is a overweight permit, the single trip permit is $5.00

Do NOT accept a SF97 in someone else's name!!!!! That is a dead end at the DMV. Unless they are a dealer and can give you a reassignment form. Force the seller to transfer the SF97 into a title and then sign the title over to you. If he refuses, deduct $300 from the selling price, because...

You will need a one trip permit to drive your unregistered truck legally. Go to the TXDOT website, go to "Business with TXDOT", then "Motor Carriers", then "Oversize Overwidth Permits", then "Single Trip Permit". You can do this over the phone believe it or not. Bring a form VTR 130 and...

The HEMTT wheels are 20" and the stockers are 22.5. You will actually lower the truck with just the wheels, now the question is what rubber are you looking at?

All of them. By that I mean: The "Big Cam" Cummins engines were the dominant player in OTR trucking for many years until being unseated by the Detroit 11 and 12 liter engines. Just about every transmission appropriate for that hp and torque will fit, with the correct bellhousing, flywheel and...

You can tell which trucks are TXNG from the 36-XXX bumper markings. You can tell the Air Force trucks by studying the "Late Contract AF deuce spotter's guide" thread. Not sure why the trucks are cannibalized. Maybe an Air Force bad habit, gotta have that "hangar queen".

Glad you signed on here M920 . . . home of the the budding AM General/CCC civiliian ownership brotherhood. It's funny, because I think my M915 is the best looking truck I've ever seen. Love the butterfly hood and the angular fenders . . . HMMM, not seeing your USDOT number painted on...

That's a great truck to start with. Someone will want that nice plow setup.

The pattern has been the cann'd deuces came from the Air Force bases in San Antonio. They are all late A2C's with the dual brakes. The trucks missing tops are Texas National Guard.

Gimpy I'm with you on the 108 bed, that would need every cylinder rechromed and repacked, every hose, major blasting, etc . . . Huge $$$. Make sure that compressor has parts support before you buy it. Hydrovane is still making compressors, but they don't look like that one.

Progressive Commercial, $200/month. Unlimited use.

Here are some examples of the dreaded radioactive gauges that DRMO has been concerned about. Pic 1 is a new gauge with no radiation. Pic 2 is a WWII gauge with .5 milliroentgens/hour (mr/hr). Pic 3 is a M-Series gauge with .5 mr/hr. Pic 4 is a M-series gauge with .6 mr/hr. Pic 5 and 6 of...

Same 6 hole Budd pattern Deuce/Halftrack. Deuce wheel will go right on. Really should put the thing on a trailer to move around on public roads.

You have a OA331 gas engine, built by Reo and Continental. The two small steel lines that go from the carb Holley governor are connected to the distributor. They have no tees. Make sure you are getting gas from the engine driven fuel pump, or bypass that pump with an electric pump for now...
