That is the way to go, any pre flight prep is a help. I am glad I didn't plan on picking up my M543A2 on the East cost though, when I got to see it the military had drained every fluid, cost me $900 plus so far filling her back up. But if GL is talking ending truck sales I am going to...
Glade you had good luck dealing with the GL folks down there, I am heading down there on the 20th to pick up a car hauler full, I hope to look around at up coming trucks, however they have not been very user friendly the two or three times I have been there, maybe better this time.

Does anyone know if any of the early Deuces had wooden steering wheels? A guy I work with knows where there is a 1953 Army Truck(I assume a deuce), he is pretty sure it is a gasser and it runs. it also has a wooden steering wheel? The price is right so I guess I will drive the hour into the...
Thanks,
Guys thanks for the info. I have to go up to Indianapolis for the week, but as soon as I get back I am going to dig into the problem. I was wondering if all that copper tubing had anything to do with the steering system. By the way there is no Psst. sound when I turn.

Air Driven
There is an air pressure adjustment valve located on the frame in the engine compartment, any idea what it should be adjusted to? The unit looks to be in very good shape, hopefully it will just need adjustment.

The third picture down is the drive unit for the power steering, I dont have a photo of the control unit attached to the steering yet. But is is power steering or power assist, and this truck came right out of a local NG unit.

Picked up my 1966 M35A2 this week in Little Rock, one of the best GL sites I have visited, always great to work with. Used the check list and only found the front differential and transmission a quart short. Added batteries and started right up. Made the 71 mile trip with only one issue...
Well I am sorry I missed it.
I did spend a somewhat entertaining four hours in a roadside park outside Clarksville, AR after the the 715 quit. A lot of truck drivers are vets apparently, I never got bored, there was always a driver or two wanting to look at or talk about the 715/contact...
On the way

Couldn't arrange to pick up my new Deuce, so I packing up the M715 Contact Maint. Truck, you never can tell we may need a welder as well as the gen set the way the weather is looking.

Me To
I just got a Deuce that was rebid when the original bidder failed to pickup the truck. I think some people get caught up in the bidding an go overboard on the prices, I got the truck for less than half of the price from the first round of bidding.

Not Road Worthy
Not for sale, just for scrap only, property of the state of OK. And those two shots are maybe ten percent of the goats they have.
