I have seen guys that own early Dodge Power Wagons add dual wheels by adding longer wheel lugs. The offset of the wheel centers was sufficient to allow this
Be careful with combat rims on a civilian Power Wagon, (B1PW, W300M, WM300).
The brake drums are different on the civilian model and my crack when the combat rims are mounted.
Double check with Vintage Power Wagons in Iowa.
Goo luck.
M37s and M43s have full floating rear ends. Pull the rear axles and cover the hub to keep the gear oil from leaking out. Disconnect the front drive shaft and you should be able to tow it.
Be proactive. See a doctor NOW to get a baseline assessment of your physical condition. Then keep a journal as others have stated to see how your injuries go. If an insurance adjuster calls, he will most likely ask you how you are. DON'T say fine. Ask who it is and who he is representing...
There seem to be quite a few 900 series trucks coming up for auction either now or very soon.
I am interested in an M931 / 932 series tractor.
Has anyone looke at the trucks at this location?
From the pictures posted by GL they look nice for the most part but one or more sets of eyes up close...
I would bet on the International. Not only from a personal bias but, they have been around forever, parts are cheaper than a Cat and they are less susceptible to fuel contamination. Get a non eletronic version.
Very cool pictures. Keep them coming.
I am working on a replacement engine for my 1967 Dodge WM300 Power Wagon. The original engine was junk and I found a 1942 251 industrial engine from a military Hobart welder.
The cam and distributor will get changed but other than needing a valve...
I have a 1967 WM300 Power Wagon with the 251 flathead engine. Very similar to the 230 that you have.
Make sure the oil pump is out as well as the distributor. both are gear driven off the cam. the oil pump is in the middle of the block at the bottom.
If all else fails, call Vintage Power...
One of these trucks is located in Bald Knob, Arkansas. About 1/2 mile east of route 67 / 167 on highway 64 just off of a side road at a plastics estrusion company. It has a Ford truck cab and front clip on it. It does run.
there is one of these located in Bald Knob Arkansas right at Highway 67 / 167 and Highway 64. It is an 8 X 8 and the original cab has been replaced with a commercial Ford truck cab and front clip. But it runs!!
As a recent member, I am very interested in getting a deuce and a half. The locations closest to me to get on at a GL auction seem to be at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama or at Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City.
Can anyone share their experiences at either of those locations?
Thanks,
Has anyone considered swapping in a DT 466 International medioum duty truck engine? They are about the same cubic inches, build a lot of torque and can put out up to 350 horsepower in stock configuration. Plus, they have been around since at least 1984 so there should be good availability.
Hi, new to this site and have a consuming desire to get an M35A2. I would like to get in touch with others in Arkansas to learn more about these trucks and get an idea of what one should go for from Govt Liquidations.
I am interested in the possibility in repowering one with an International...
