I'm leaving O'dark thirty tomorrow bound for Malmstrom AFB, Montana. Slated to return back to Minot ND on the 23rd of Dec. I have a Empty F350 out and back, can haul pretty much anything with my license but the truck has it's limits. I'll have all my hitches minus the fifth wheel. Short...

It's about time I did some PMCS on the fleet. Being that temps are above freezing and ice is off the roads its not a bad time to start. I had some big personal events take place last year and in the wake the trucks and equipment have to find a new home. Not a new owner but a new home. So in...

Alright I have my M871 in for Mx, lets call it an annual. Anyways while I have it in the drive for PMCS, I am considering re-decking it. The deck is in horrible shape so it's not a bad idea. Only problem is I can't get white oak at least not without breaking the bank. So I'm considering...

For a few years now I've been planning, on paper and in my head mostly. Converting a truck to be used as an RV hauler. With a growing family and larger RV's now available, I've been looking at using one of the big boy's. Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt or a Volvo as a replacement for the...

Mine's been draing the batteries for ahile now. I really need to put a disconnect on the system and add a solargizer to the truck. What I found weird was that it's only killing the forward two batteries, the others are running 12.39 volts the dead ones are dead at 10.69 volts. I found the...

Anybody know the spread on a M915's frame rails. I'm trying to see if a used B&W turn-over ball will drop in between the frame rails with some custom mounts. I can't measure mine at the moment, I'm away from the truck. Thanks Jeremy

It's a boy! Of course we already new that from my Father's day thread but 'm trying to stay consistent. We welcome with Love! Tiberius Saxon Payne January 25, 2012 at 1749hrs 7 pounds, 9 ounces and 19.50 inches :beer:

No it's not new, it was 20 year old surplus when the photo was taken, 14 years before I was born. While searching for Payload transporter photos today in an attempt to help 2duece out on his Kenworth COE question I stumbled across these two photos of an M26A1 hauling Saturn 5 sections during...

I need a large crate moved East from Steilacoom Washington. I know a lot of people travel this time of year so I figure I'd put this out there. Shipping is a pretty spendy for the item. Not that I'm a cheap skate but sometimes our SS network can come through far cheaper. Crate is 96"x24"x16"...

I'm scheduled to be in Biloxi, MS on the 17th Apr 2012 and due to return to Minot, ND on 24th May 2012. Leaving Minot on the 13th of Apr and will return to Minot on the 28th May, I'm allowed 4 travel days. Current plans have me taking the F350, but plans change. I will have limited space...

I'm fortunate enough to have a complete set of sides for my M871 what I don't have are the bows for the top. I know there are a few members that do. I couldn't find dimensions in the TM. And rather than try and find all of them I was thinking it would be easy enough to just make my own. Has...

I tried seaching to no avail. Does anyone have a list of NAPA part numbers for the NHC 250 used on an M925. I know I'll need fuel filters, hopefully the same as the 400 cause I have a box. But I'd like to get a full set of filters for the recovery, to include air if necessary. If there is...

Anyone attending this event? Supposedly there is a Historic Military vehicle display Sat-Sun. I have next to no contact with most of the NDMVPA members as I'm not a member myself, so I'm not sure if they are putting it on or not. If anyone is attending the display and would like to meet and...

Anyone preview anything this week?

Alright it's non mil, but I made it mil colored...LOL FIL built this 6'x10' a few years back to fetch materials for a garage we built. He didn't want to constantly borrow the F350. Anyways I adopted the little Gem and use it fairly often. Only holds 3k lbs but it's low sturdy and pulls...

Anyone headed to the GL lot at Devils Lake in the next week that can do a preview let me know.

I'm considering adding a Dump truck to the collection. Many of my jobs this year seam to benefit from having a dump truck which I don't currently own. While it probably makes more sense to by a civi version I'd like to keep the military truck theme growing. So I'm looking for M817's although...

Before you ask no pics...I don't drive to work with a camera. Fueled up at Behms truck stop off highway 2 just west of Minot ND last night around 2300hrs. Parked under the sign, an OD green M920. No one around, no plates, no GOV marking just a nice looking M920. I should drop my card on the...

Well I put together a running tally of expenditures for tax purposes. And I figured perhaps if I shared my info others might not be so bid happy. Now I'm not upset at all, would I do it over again...probably. Considering what I got, I don't think it's that bad. Also some of the items on my...

I've been looking for another trailer to go with my M915, a good low-boy to help with recoveries. I've also considered a Tru-Hitch and mimic James setup. Well apparently I can do both, with the FWTRD/HMRT. James posted a pic in Bruce's HEMTT thread that lead me to the source. Enjoy! And yes...
