Looks good, but you can pretty much rule out offroading now as a hobby. Any large bump or rock you go over will take out the genset box....

Is it just me, or am I the only guy on SS who finds the recent rash of "I have this how much is it worth" threads a bit annoying? When did SS turn into a Consumer Reports listing of MV values? highfavor1004, from what you said, you traded for it, it's yours. Enjoy it. Doesn't matter what...

I'll give you $5 for it.

There's a term for that truck. It's three letters long, begins with "G" and rhymes with "May".

Two options not mentioned: If you can't get another helper, get a set of needle-nose ViseGrips, get it locked onto the nut on the back side, and have at the front. Option two: get a dremel with a cutoff disc and cut off the bolt head from the front. The rest should just fall off the back side.

I hope he sells his share of SS to patracy and goes off into the sunset to a land of goats and sheep where he can exist in happiness forever. As long as he is NO LONGER HERE doing nothing. My two cents. Thanks for picking up the slack, patracy. Get the site back on track, make...

I've already come to that conclusion about the body, bob, we've discussed that before in a different thread. What I was interested in knowing is to get the most bulletproof components, even if I start with an early 90s platform, I might have to swap out major components such as the axles...

I knew you had to get rid of the M916, did you lose the shop as well?

Hope to make it this year. Missed out in 2011, want to get back to the center of Frozen Wasteland USA for green iron parts! :)

gimpy and I are the two most senior SS members who really don't wanna be involved with admin or moderation. We'd love to help out, but I don't have the temperment for the task, and I think gimpy feels the same for himself. Glad we have someone new though - this site really needs to move...

Bout time. You know how hard it's been trying to convince doghead NOT to go over to mangus's house and beat him with a rusty snow cone machine?

Oh, I'm sure interested in buying it. Just have to win the lottery this week, and I'll pay you in cash quickly thereafter! :)

For some reason I want to say they were open knuckle.

I've heard the Dana 60s used on the M715 series of trucks front axles are not as good as other Dana 60s used in other commercial trucks. Can someone care to elaborate on why?

A flying HMMWV is much better than a falling HMMWV. :)

M880 axle selection Planning on future builds, getting my mental ducks in a row (hard to do, since most of those ducks are suffering massive hangovers at any one time). Plan to build a quasi-M880 truck, on a more modern frame. Engine would be a 6BT Cummins. The stocks axles on the M880...

I have seen good ones that were decent drivers and no rust, good paint, sell for $5K. Perfectly restored ones for $10-12K. Highest I have ever seen was a museum quality example sold for $26,000. Prices are what you are willing to pay, especially in this economy.

All CUCVs have rust. Be glad you're not buying M880s. They don't have rust, they come with Swiss cheese.

I bought a laundry trailer with an MEP-003a on it, between the time the pics were posted on GL and the time I picked it up, a number of parts were removed from it. I got the replacement parts from Coleman's off some junkers in the back lot, I built it up, and it worked fine.

You're not just green you're NEON GREEN! TM means Technical Manual.
