    I know very little about the CCKW and G506 and I am trying to figure out where the data plates for each would be located?

    Moisture in brake system

    Getting ready to go into winter, and was curious your guys input regarding moisture/air brake antifreeze in a m35A2. Will the air brake line antifreeze bother the air pak? Is there a specific spot that it is best added? Working formerly as a mechanic I've rebuilt quite a few heavy truck air...

    Military vehicles at car shows

    Okay, so I did a little searching and couldn't find a thread on this, but I wanted to see some of your guys' military vehicles at car shows.

    M211's your guys opinion

    I was interested in your guys' opinions. I have the opportunity to purchase two m211s for $1000. They are from a VFD and one has a 1500 water tank and the other is just a cab and chassis. One ran five years ago, and the guy thought with a little fuel and new batteries it would probably start...
