Heck, I'd drive 5 thousand miles for that too! Rick

How on Gods green earth did you break that? Was there any other damage? Rick

I have no experience with the GM products for the government, but was there not a 6.5L replacement for the 6.2L for the humvees? If so I expect they have continued the serpentine system that accommodated a twin alternator 24 volt system. If not, why not modify the twin alternator system and...

axlr8 where did you find those and how does the system attach to the bed? Is that for drop sides only? do tell. Rick

Hi and thanks for posting photos! Your truck looks great and I hope it gives you tons of fun! Rick

hcso, the photo of the motor shows the intake pipe leading downward, under the manifold, indicating there is a turbo embedded below! You are good to go! Congrats on the purchase and best wishes to you and your budding addiction. Rick

Are those the cargo strap pockets you cut/bolt in?? If so where do you get them? Rick

If the ends of the studs are marked with an "L", then you may be fighting the rare and surprising "hub swap" from the other side of the truck. Otherwise, I recommend a 3/4" breaker bar and socket with a pipe cheater, giving you room to stand on the breaker and crack those babies loose...

I have not found a need to cross reference parts, as there are vendors selling the parts at reasonable prices: White Owl - Home Page Saturn Surplus --> Saturn Surplus on the Web! Military vehicles for sale, surplus military vehicles for sale ? Memphis Equipment Military Vehicles For Sale |...

Wow, tangible signs of progress on the site! That's encouraging! Well done Chris! Rick

I am inexperienced with air brakes. You guys are saying that the air over hydraulic service air brakes on the deuce will operate the S cam air brake trailer? If so, that is good news! Thanks guys, Rick

Ohhhh no, painting a civvy Blazer just won't do!!!! Start you search for a CUCV M1009 Blazer from GL. You know it's the right truck to pull your trailer: It's slow, smelly and green! don't fight the urge, it's OD fever!!! Welcome Scott and best wishes with your new addiction! Rick

Guys is there a definitive list of trailers compatible with the deuce, meaning the trailers that have the correct pintle height, are under 6k lbs gross and have braking systems that function with the air over hydraulic brakes? The reason I ask is I recently purchased a flatbed trailer thinking...

I agree, in my experience a miss-aligned shifter will enable you to put the tranny into 2 gears at the same time, essentially locking up the transmission. In your case, you shift it and are in reverse only. And again, in my experience, a backwards running engine does not take throttle or...

That sir, is the antithesis of "Get-er-done". Rick

If I read your post correctly, are you considering forming sheet steel to fit over a soft top frame? If so, your idea is unique and is worth a study of the soft top frame for suitability. With hard tops fetching $500 to a grand, you have some space to consider you unique idea. Rick

Pics or it never happened. Rick
