    Anyone seen these on a truck before?

    KsM715, can you see what they are doing with the cabs they take off the 900's?? I need one really really bad. Is there someone there local with the scrap contract that has them piled high? Wishful thinking . . .

    Grainger has that funky plug but it set me back like $100. I'm ready for this hook up but that's only if the MEP002A dies.

    Insurance- 818's and 915's w/trailers

    OK guys, need some advice. JC Taylor Antique Insurance pulled the plug on my M915 coverage, "oversized", this is after the agent bound the coverage and sent in the paperwork. I think I need a "unlimited personal use" policy, where I can use the truck to haul my personal stuff on a...

    Need alittle help concerning Gensets

    Hi sloryd and welcome to the site. If you have a Houston area natural gas home, the MEP002A (5kW) will be fine, an all electric home, you will need the MEP003A (10kW) This is assuming a 3 or 4 ton central A/C unit. I just got a 002A for the same reason as you, I am down the road from you in...

    Tx. registration

    Well I may go to prison for this but I just write the GL title clerk's name in the form 130 space. Not a signature, just write the name using my handwriting. This has been four GL SF97s in the last 12 months at the League City Annex. All went through just fine. Wait there is a knock at the...

    Many M880 questions from a new owner

    Nope, no original PS, sure is nice with it. Like I said, check the front end carefully, jack up the axle and grasp the tire and try to wiggle it. Otherwise you could have tire/balance issues. Behind seat sound is fine (to me), you have to turn it way up to overcome the wind noise from the...

    Tx. registration

    The SF97 is "evidence of ownership", it tells the clerk you lawfully purchased the vehicle from the gov't. Since the SF97 is made out to GL in the case of auction wins, GL provides you with an "Assignment form" which allows dealers to "assign" a SF97 to someone else. You'll need these two...

    Tx. registration

    The best thread on this was written by Barrman, search "Texas former military registration". If you can show the girls where the fields are in the RTS computer system, you can usually talk them through the process. Barrman talks about where it is located in the RTS. You can download the...

    Truck ID

    Those europeans love to graft civilian cabs to our fine open cab trucks. They learned to do that with the open cab CCKWs. Circus anyone?

    Lowboy Trailer

    The Army did not buy large quantities of this type trailer. Most likely this is a Navy trailer, and typically they would buy civilian type trailers when a need arose. You see these oddball "one of" trailers all the time on GL.

    91140 gross and the 818

    Go to FMCSA.DOT.GOV for rules on this. In my case I only need to comply with the federal laws if I cross state lines. So no DOT number, medical, and log books if operating within my state. Different states have different rules about this, the web site has a guide.

    6.2 GMC Engine swap

    In my opinion the perfect swap for the G749 GMC's is the gas 366/Allison found in the 1980s/90's Chevy mediums (school bus, Uhaul truck). The first gear is low enough to approach low range on the hydramatic, and the 366 can handle 4000 rpms all day. Still will get crappy fuel economy like the 302.

    High Range problem, HELP

    Mine did that. Get it rolling in low range and then shift to high range. There will be a huge "kabam" and then high range will work again.

    Deuce with single rear wheels

    Well who won it??? Sold for $1800 ish, $2K after fees . . . Pawnshop, this is not an Airforce deuce, how does it have dual brakes? The light between the speedo and tach is the LAP light I thought . . . The dual brakes trucks have a "brake" light.
