    Connector insulators

    Those are commonly called Packard connectors, they're found on many different military vehicles. Erik's Military Surplus sells them, I'm sure there are a bunch of other sources as well.

    Blow'd Up Sir!

    I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not. :shrugs: I've done quite a few tires on lock ring wheels with no problems but I think I'll stick to using a <$100 tire cage to keep a lock ring from ending up somewhere in the neighborhood if something goes wrong.

    M185A3 wannabe m756a2 project

    The sides are a factory item but were only found on the pipeline trucks. The idea was to haul the crew, then remove the bed and work the truck. I think a lot of trucks never really worked and lived life as a cargo truck while many that were worked had the bedsides removed once and never put...

    Trailer ID Info

    On yours it looks like the pin is right where the single beam meets the two supports. Mine had clamps that screwed down as well but I don't see them on yours. Block the wheels then drive forward and back until it lines up again. Hopefully it was greased well. Mine was welded shut for some...

    M185A3 wannabe m756a2 project

    It's looking good. I agree with what NDT said. You're in this truck for a very good price and it looks like you can definitely handle the work it needs. The bed is slightly smaller than the cargo truck but that's about the only downside. If you want a flatbed you've got it. Once you get the...

    Trailer ID Info

    I had a similar one a few years back, but the drawbar was round tube instead of square. Mine was officially called "Trailer 2 wheel utility pole type 2.5ton". Mine didn't have a build date on the dataplate but one date on it said 1951. There are pics of similar ones on the g503 website...

    Is your deuce a factory dump truck or did you convert an m35 to dump?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    If I did that I'd never tell anyone about it.:whistle: You can probably get that fixed for a whole lot cheaper than replacing it.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I guess the point is that some people don't like the particular brand of oil filter someone else bought for their truck, is that right? Does it concern you that the world's largest retailer also sells the particular brand of filter that you use on your cars, trucks, and generators? In your...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Now that's the scientific evidence we've been waiting for! Walmart also sells Wix filters.:)

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    Early multifuels had reversible headlight panels. At least in 1966 still. I was going to use them on my repower but decided to use the newer style.

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    The original hood will work fine but the gasser grille is an inch shorter than the multifuel grilles.

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    It's looking really good! Is that a gasser grille on it or am I just seeing things?

    M1010 box weight

    One of the Drash trailers might be a decent starting point for an m1010 box hauler.

    Nice truck. Good luck with the trip.

    1951 m104 Trailer

    The TM doesn't specifically state a reason for the front gate. It would be nice for a genset if you needed the clearance to work on it. An article in MV magazine stated that the front tailgate was to allow the trailer to haul long cargo and poles. It would add a little over 3 feet of usable...
