I am wondering what you guys think of pulling a trailer with a Dodge M880 (886 in my case). I don't care about what the manual says it will pull, I want to know what you guys think about a 34 year old truck with the original auto trans pulling a trailer several hours at highway speed. I am...

Well with less than 3 weeks to go, I have decided to drive my M886 with a trailer in tow. I could have gotten the M813 ready, but instead I chose to buy a Burma Jeep. So instead of spending my days working on the M813 I spent them at auctions and picking up the Ford. I also have spent all my...

When I picked up my Burma Jeep Monday, I got to meet a nice young man in Concord that wrote me a ticket. It was a delightful end to a long and stressful day. I post this story because it is just too bazaar to keep to myself. I'll try to keep it short. But first, the Ford GTB. I didn't get...

I'm going to post on the G tonight. I haven't posted on there in several years. There does appear to be OD under the other paint. I like OD. It does clearly say only "GTB" on the frame. The number is awful high compared to to some of the one's I saw on the G last night. Thanks for the info...

Bjorn, I have several parts trucks that might have what you need. I'll have to get with you later and see what I have. Do you need it quick or is this a down the road project?

Well here's an improvement. I removed the "cab" cover. It looks so much better. I also photoed the serial number. I am trying to determine if it was bomb truck or cargo.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, 68427vette bought the other one at this auction for $550 and it had the original bed, seats and even most of the troop seats. Now it was a bit rusty and rotted. but there. I will fab another bed. I like doing stuff like that. In fact the reason I bought this one was...

Yes, it's one ugly thing (both the tank and the truck). I am just hoping the engine will run with a little effort. I hate to admit it, but I spent some time on the G last night and since I now have a WW2 truck, I will be spending more time over there. At the rate I work on trucks it will many...

Well this looks like the best place to post this. It's called a Jeep and I'm sure not putting this Ford in with the WW2 dodges. Anyway, I picked up my new (to me) Ford this week. From the pictures you can see it has the optional extended cab as well as the rear sliding window. These options...

Just for the record, I am not welding to the ring. It doesn't take much to discourage me when I plan to put something on the highway.

It's kind of funny. I have read most of this thread, not because I thought it would have more scantily clad women in it, but because of the different opinions about the use of the flag. Very intriguing. I think I can sum up my feeling best this way: Twenty years ago I would have wanted one...

That is the best quote I have heard in months (I had to stop with the GL line)

Let me get this strait? You have a deuce to pick up there and it only took 10 days for the EUC to clear?

Again, you have got to be kidding me! I called GL a few minutes ago and guess what said? "It doesn't work that way. We have no control over it". Let me just say that I am irritated, but I wouldn't change a thing. The more these morons screw up, the cheaper the stuff gets and while I may be...

You have got to be kidding? When did GL send your EUC to battlecreek? The only time mine when in on the same day it was submitted was for this sale. It went to them on 8-13.

I'll look and see if I can find the box. Found it.

You know, I don't want to be one of these off topic thread starters, so I will relate this to MV's :roll:. Do we make anything in the USA anymore? Case in point: I put a keyed switch in all MV's around here. I put one in my M813. I got it from Carquest. It worked great. I wanted one for...

The sad part is someone was willing to pay $4000 for the truck, I told the sales guy to get a little more (mostly to cover their commission). Live and learn. As you mentioned, everything, even good names, are getting pretty crappy. I bought a rebuild caliper for my M886 yesterday and it was...

Well they run my truck through the auction and it didn't bring what I wanted. SO,,,,,,,,, I am going to put it in the classified in a few hours when I have time, but if anyone is interested in buying it, $4000 will get it. I really don't want to drive it back home and if I do I will be asking...

I drove my XM818 up to an auction company last week and it will auction off Wednesday. The main reason I posted this is because I pulled an equipment trailer behind it and thought some of you guys might like to see the pictures. If anyone is near Greenville SC and wants to check out the...
