    Estimate fuel costs or shipping?

    Figure 4-5 MPG , top speed 40-50 MPH , long trip, plus any "FLAME OUT'S" along the way . A breakdown on the road can be VERY expensive , plus the time lost . FWIW , I would think about trucking the whole lot . BUT , on the other hand , what a adventure that would be ! pick a nice time of the...

    brake drums wobbling

    You are right , but he had some broken springs , somethings going on with that drum/axle . I am trying to figure out HOW the drum could be out of square to the hub . I agree he needs to check the axles , could the stub axle be bent ? if it is that had to be some hit !

    brake drums wobbling

    My gut feeling is that they might have DROPPED you truck off the HIGH LOW at GL , might have bent the axle . BTW , you don't have to be CRAZY to be on this site , but it's like "CHICKEN SOUP" can't hurt . LOL good luck

    brake drums wobbling

    Sounds like you are missing something , should have a inner and outer bearing . Who knows maybe when it was going to auction , maybe they left a few parts out . Can not believe you have been driving it . Like the troops say , Look at the TM's , they have pictures , you can see what we are...

    M35A2 Registrations, In NY

    What Doghead says is the RIGHT way to go , putting a BOGUS lien on a vehicle is NOT the way to go , it could jeopardize your father's dealer's license , ask me how I know . It's a lot easier to stay out of trouble then get out of trouble once you get in . If your is father is a NYS dealer he...

    M35A2 Registrations, In NY

    So exactly what do you have for ownership beside a "BILL OF SALE" ? previous reg or title ? . Most go with HX insurance and plates , or you have to go the FULL PRICE route . BTW , if you only have a bill of sale , you DO NOT have OWNERSHIP in NYS , you may have a big piece of LAWN ART . Are you...

    Your Transmission cooler lines should be plumbed to there , it was probably leaking , so it was bypassed and you should have a external oil cooler in front of the radiator someplace . You have a couple of choices at this point , have a radiator shop rebuild your current core if possible , find...

    Why do some people hate military vehicles?

    I agree with 1911A1 , maybe time to go . This could be the start of MANY battles , win the battles but loose the war . Plus what's your sanity and a happy home life worth . Life is SHORT and sometimes you have to look at the BIG PICTURE and move on . In life one must pick your battles . good luck .

    About to start work on our Deuce

    I think you have the seals covered , and you should not need too much RTV , just make sure the little cork seal has some RTV on it , and a little on the axle gaskets . Remember a little goes far . I went to 395's so I got a Wheel Dolly from Northern Hydraulics's on a sale , it's china built ...

    About to start work on our Deuce

    Sounds like you are on the right path , remote reservoir for the MC would be good . Wheel studs only if you have a bad stud . The drums can be "turned" if they are scored , if the drum is within spec's . Don't forget the boot clamps , and I would not replace the bearings unless there is a...

    Post your m37 pictures

    Ya Joe , your storm is headed our way . Pretty much that is the color combo I had in mind . I also like to use my MV's . I belong to the "Empire State West" MV club . I may take spot this at Aberdeen as I have lots of extra M37 parts I need to sell . I am not a purist either and like to use the...

    Post your m37 pictures

    Joe , you do great work , I live outside Buffalo , so winter is upon us . The funny part is that before I realized my M37 was EX AF I purchased 2 gallons of 24087 OD , something else to sell at Aberdeen this spring , LOL . The other thing is my DATA plates were not the originals . What color is...

    Post your m37 pictures

    I really like the STRATA BLUE paint MAYOR JOE , what a nice restore . You do not see many AF M37's at all . I am toying with painting mine it's original strata blue color . When I purchased it , it was painted 24087 OD , come to find out it was a 1953 AF truck out of California . It came with...
