Hey guys, its been a LOOONG time since i have been around.....again. Anyway, my bad influence of a boss clued me into a local auction with some trucks. Had a few 5 tons, a 915 and a trio of 917's. Simply could not pass up a 917 for what these were going for so.....yeah i bought one. Ran down...

Hey guys, its been a bit. I'm tossing around the idea of selling the M35A1 affectionately known as the plow deuce. Its a basically unmolested 1960 studebaker built A1, LDS427-2, the hinged mudflaps, pretty much all there. It runs, plows like a BEAST and starts regardless of temp. Has a uniquely...

Hi everyone, been busy this summer being overseas for 3 months and life has just gotten in the way. I just got a call from the longtime girlfriend of bede63 saying that he passed away tues due to cancer. I know he wasn't the most vocal on here, tended to do a lot of lurking. Anyone that knew him...

Been tinkering on the engine in the 108 for the last few weeks as i could really use it and its parked in a really poor spot currently. It made a several mile journey via flatbed about a month ago to a new storage site and simply will not run for me now. The last time i started it was likely...

Hi all, been searching for a headgasket for the m35a1 and ran into a bit of a mystery while talking to white owl the other day. It seems the stock number for the headgasket on a lds 427-2 and a ldt 465 are the same. Concrete info on the rellationship between these two multifuel siblings has come...

Hey there guys, a HUGE event occurred last Sunday. I FINALLY after much wrenching got the M35A1 to RUN. First time in 10-15-20 years..who knows, last sticker on the plate is 1993. Put a new injection pump on after removing the existing one twice, replacing a quill shaft, several new hyd heads...

Got to check out this AMAZING plane at a local airport. Its owned and run by Home | Liberty Belle B-17 Flying Fortress Only in town for the weekend then they move along to a new airport. Got some great pics and a walk around vid as well as an interior vid. Sadly they had just done the final...

Ok, not much has happened but she is running nicely after sorting out a bit of the rats nest that is the wiring harness. Next step will be bolting back on the stuff that makes it look like a truck and getting the brakes operative. To keep you guys amused heres a vid of the first start of my...

Well gents i haven't been on much lately, just been fresh out of time. Generally speaking just too busy working on projects to write about them :roll: These darned projects keep following me home.....i swear. Anyway, this one just got carted home in the deuce yesterday. I must say it fits...

For anyone that hasn't read it here is some backstory http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/45666-need-some-ip-advice-m35a1.html Finally got to pulling the pump yesterday and pulling the quill shaft today. What i found was not amusing. The lower drive gear and spacer simply say there waiting to be...

Ok guys, as anyone on here regularly prob knows my M35A1 is having Ip issues. Got a new hyd head from doghead but couldn't get the old one off. Long story short, ( and i'm going to do a writeup on it) its a stupid design feature on the code G and F pumps that in all likelyhood should have been...

Here you go guys, someone save it. Have no use for another truck but this one looks neat. Five Ton 6x6 Military Wrecker

Ok guys, some of you may remember i bought the m108 cranetruck/light wrecker/ whatever you wish to call it off of ASTFU a while back. Do to sched issues, a general lack of funds and now a bit of an underemployment situation actually getting it home has not occured. He has been absolutely...

Things were going great, really they were. Deuce has seen about 500 miles this week and was running great till i noticed a bit of a loss of power just before arriving at ASTFU's place today. Wasn't worried, figured it was time for new filters. But then when i left to head home i noticed i was...

Has been sitting a month or so according to the site guy but who really knows if they are telling the truth. Tossed in 2 new NAPA batts at 810 CCA each and check out...

While off previewing the 818 today i finally got around to taking some pics of these for you guys. Huey is obviously never gonna leave its current position as anything but scrap but its still cool to look at. The Mig on the other hand may or may not be quasi functional. Its privately owned but...

Anyone here get it??? Went and previewed it today as i was hoping to get it myself. Ended a little higher than i could afford but someone got a great deal IMO. Need any recovery help i'm right down the road :-)
