    M52A2 Before & After

    My M52A2 was purchased with the intention of using it as a tractor. It only took 3 1/2 years to get it done. It only needs the ramps to be complete. Someone stole my ramps a couple months ago out of the bed. I'm sure they were sold for scrap. I also need the bottom clamps for the diamond plate...

    XM816 Gets To Work

    Pulled the XM816 out today to remove the dump bed off the back of my M52A2 and turn it back into a tractor. Everything went as planned, no surprises. It was a good day!

    Which Turbo For My LDS??

    I need to decide which turbo to put back on my LDS. I just had new valve guides installed and had the heads cleaned up for my M52A2. The engine had a "D" turbo on it but I also have a spare LDS with the older waste gate turbo on it. I removed the waste gate turbo and had new bearings intalled...

    87 AF Deuce on GSA

    Did anyone see this truck on GSA that sold today? 1987 Air Force Deuce, looks like factory paint, split brakes, 348 miles (could be original). The truck looks to be virtually unused and almost NOS (except for broken window knob and who knows what else). Probably one of the nicest Deuces I've...

    Gassers to Multifuels, How Many?

    Over the years, it always seemed like the Studebakers and others that were built as gassers and converted to A2's pulled in a premium on GL. It also seems like there are more of these showing up lately as well. Are these still going for a bit more? Some of these were in the inventory for almost...

    M52A2 w/w With Dump Bed

    Alot of interest in 5 Ton Tractors with beds lately. Here's my M52A2 w/w with a dump bed. It also has troop seats. It was built here in AZ by a previous owner. It has a single ram which is not connected to anything (no pump). The tractor equipment is still installed and intact. I'm making the...

    My XM818 w/w is up in ND with Pilot (Greg). Thanks to Greg and a local diesel shop, it has been prepped for the drive to AZ. It has the multifuel fired personel heater. Greg let me know that it is not putting out the normal amount of heat. With it being about 0 degrees up there, I'm going to...

    800 Series Grilles

    Which grille came 1st, the welded flat steel slat type or the tubular type. I'm assuming the welded slat type. I just changed the XM813 to the slat type, I find that it supports the hood in the propper position whereas the tubular type bends over time and lets the hood drop which causes...

    M756A2 Pipeline Truck

    Just won an M756A2 on a GSA Auction. Looks to be complete except for front winch. After speaking with the fellow on-site, it is also missing its intank fuel pump. He did say it had all of its equipment, "big chains & snatch block". The PTO is there for the front winch. It was on GSA (Thanks...
