we're ready for you to buy a sh-- ton of baking soda .. i just purchased 1000 more stock shares of Arm & Hammer ;)

on the right track but heavier and considerably wider is better.... sheet bed-steel can rip .. i always preferred tie downs that are welded AND bolted , preferably bolted to something stronger than a bed sheet underneath the mounting plate.. Some DOT jurisdictions also like to see that redundancy

I "bypassed" a bad air pack and operated that truck for many years that way as a "flatland" haul truck.. But Never was on the road with it... There were no issues to any other part of the system from doing it, but your leg(s) will grow.. Yes it can be done in an emergency if there's a pack...

As you know, the top rail of a cargo bed is not strong .. I have not installed rings on my 6x6's but I have in one of the box trailers, to secure heavy LTL palletized cargo (truck & equip parts) and hauled a whole rolling jeep in there once on a backhaul... Wooden hardwood floor thus I drilled...

The newest M809-series I have now is 1972 and it has the tubular grille as do my older ones.. As you have learned, a 1976-build has the flat-bar design .. Not sure when the change happened but this may narrow it down

The M809-series has the same tranny as an overdrive-equipped M39-series truck (the M51 is within the M39-series). Only difference is some pto's are dual-outlet, others single

Hey, not to cause a ruckus but have you thought to try these products?

i see a couple obvious spotting features on your truck .. It was originally a gasser , wasn't it? ;) it's beautiful

I just love how you put so much detail into your posts for everyone.. You should be commended by all here ! .. The town guys had smoked that parking brake pretty good ! .. But in their defense, we saw (or smelled) that source of smoke from time to time in the army as well ... PS: Here's a...

You guessed it, the town of new marlboro installed it for ether .. It was always a sore spot when i owned the truck, among a couple other tidbits that happened to it previously .. Glad you took the time to replace it with an expandable plug, and that type of plug sure was a good idea !

My M109A3 has delineator reflectors on its mudflaps .. It's last duty was a stateside guard unit for at least five years according to paperwork found in the truck.. Was the truck in Europe, shipped back, the reflectors never removed by the final unit? .. Anyones guess is as good as another...

Oh the power of hydrogen !! Although an uncle and i invested in hydrogen fuel automotive technology some years ago, can you imagine the fun, excitement, and apprehension to be had at the pump? :D .. I've had batts blow , not fun !! Your worst task is gonna be washing and neutralizing the...

it has the gas engine, it just might! ... Now, as for the multifuel remotor in mine, well, mine sure isn't going anywhere in a hurry except on a 30% downgrade in neutral with a hurricane tailwind ... Or over a cliff :LOL: don't get me wrong out there, the multifuels are a good engine for...

i don't recall ever seeing a frame rail stamp on a M39-series , but then again, they either had plenty of surface rust or plenty of paint .. Some say it should be drivers side outer rail somewhere between steering box to a point above the front axle.. Some say not all got stamped at birth, some...

aha !! now THAT i could've gotten a pic of .. unfortunately I'm 3hrs away from the truck as of last night, and until next weekend or so

Do you mean up above the crossmember inside the tunnel area? .. The control linkages head that way from the op levers and disappear inside the crossmember .. With 3 unrepairable hernias i cannot reach up inside that crossmember without a system of pulleys and rope .. It was "scary" enough to...

i was replying to his 2nd post which stated a guess of an 8000's number, just as it does in the quoted bit from that post that's included in my reply .. i did not see his later post , where he finally does say 3276 , which would be a correct sequence

1: yes, you got it right, the double-zero such and such is your USA reg number and will be 8 digits .. 2: Your guess of 8000's for mfr s/n on tag is too high in sequence, should be in the 2000's or 3000's ... 3: i will try to remember to get a pic of the clutch arm tomor but i won't have...

In my experience (and of certain examples in my fleet), the early-1950s' M-series trucks did not originally have an alpha-numeric USA registration number.. Instead, they had an 8-digit series of numbers beginning with zeros. IME, the numbers are not the same as the manufacturer serial number on...

I recall the first time I ever saw a SEE and immediately saw it was a "WTF is that?! " A confusing See-Saw moment :p .. (early-1990's , 131st Engr VTARNG , the most-deployed NG engineer unit perhaps in history, starting with developing quarries and building roads in the central highlands...
