One thing to be prepared for is the tow bar hookups on the m211 are likely slightly smaller than 1" (I think 15/16"). One of my GMCs towed great with no driver or strapped wheel, the other had front end issues and needed someone to steer it.

I'm assuming this is the truck, from ECR CUCV. These fiberglass shelters are very cool, that's the only one I've seen still on a truck. I've seen 3 others but they were removed from the trucks before being sold. 2 of them were sold from Camp Johnson in Colchester, VT probably 6-8 years ago...

Just to clarify, you have the 3 lever switch in the “park” position? That’s the only time the front marker lights will be on, they don’t come on with the headlights (but it’s not difficult to make them work like that).

That looks just like an original, great job!

Actually I have used it over rough terrain, that’s why the swivel hook was installed instead of a fixed hook which can be found for much cheaper. If it ever gets removed and I have to weld it up then I won’t sweat a little extra welding on a flat surface, it doesn’t get much easier than that.

Didn’t put a ton of work into it. Since the hitch came off a CUCV pickup bumper the reinforcement is what was used for a backing plate.

The CUCV with the hook going through the bumper itself just has a backing plate on it, nothing going to the frame of the truck. It's actually the plate from the outside of a CUCV pickup bumper that has the two carriage bolts. That's behind the bumper upside down and then since the bumper is...

Nice truck. I had serial number 10078, it was built in 1966.

At the NJ show I picked up a mint windshield frame for $20 so I put that on today. I think I'm going to use the headlight panels off of a 1967 truck instead of the 1966 panels that allow for high or low headlights. While putting on a replacement hood I noticed the truck has an LDS IP. Not...

Welcome to the site.

I make oilboard stencils in various sizes. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?120871-Oilboard-Stencils-for-Military-Vehicles-(1-4-quot-1-2-quot-3-4-quot-1-quot-and-1-75-quot-characters)

The smaller wheel isn’t that bad without power steering. Obviously it’s more work than the stock 20” wheel but I’d definitely try it if you want a little more room. You may have to either borrow a military wheel puller or make your own to pull the wheel without breaking it, sometimes they can...

I like it. I'll need to lift the box back off sometime to clean up and paint the frame, maybe I'll swap the landing leg out for the crank up version too.

That should tow great behind your Colorado. The surge brakes are great when they're working and they're not bad to fix up if they're not. You can lock it out if the shock is bad and the hitch is slamming back and forth while you stop. If you're looking for the side racks you might want to...

Started taking apart a couple trailers today. One is an m101a1 with a very nice newer style cargo box and the other an m116a2 with the heavier duty frame. The cargo box is going on the a2 frame of course, should end up being a pretty decent m101a2.

The operator's manual from the 1970s says the max towed load on highway is 6000lbs. I wouldn't want to tow nearly that much on a public road today. An m37 is gutless enough already and the brakes aren't up to the task in my opinion (I'm assuming the manual expects no trailer brakes since...

Sounds like they might be the 25 amp generators with the separate voltage regulators. Later m151s (a2s at least) had the same 60 amp alternator as the m35a2s and many other trucks.

I don’t see any part numbers on it at all.

The bumpers are side specific, one side is slightly longer than the other. They mount the same as a full bumper too.
