February 27th, 2010. The Indian Enfield Company did one based on an altered English Enfield produced in India, it was supposed to get 200 MPG. And the USMC has some I believe, based on a Kawasaki or some such design. It's a wonder other bike builders haven't picked up the idea yet...

February 27th, 2010. Panzerjunky: I might suggest that you consider replacing the guages with ones from our suppliers (the usual suspects) that are NOS Army stock, as the older gauges had a radium or tritrium paint used on the hands and numbers to make them visible at...

February 27th, 2010. GoldComet6: :ditto: The Air Force had a long tradition of using essentially civillian trucks slightly modified to meet their needs, and the M880 derivatives, like the M715 derivatives, were the first serious attempt by the military branches to come up...

;-)February 27th, 2010. Will has all the fun!rofl Drinking buddy to Hugh Hefner, with bunny seatcovers for his own deuce:shock:, and inheritor of General George S. Patton's panache!:? I rode a WWII Sherman back in the early sixties as a whippersnapper, and a M60 has to be several levels...

February 27th, 2010. I can now say that I have seen winter fronts and artic cover padding for a military K blazer. Very interesting, I guess Uncle figured on sending a few to Alaska. I had heard of the covers for the engine compartment and cargo bed on the M35A2's, it's a wonder they...

February 24th, 2010. Without raising the firestorm over this unit, you can often find them for less then $150.00 if you look around. They are generally reliable, and easier to use in a darkened cab then the standard three lever switch. HOWEVER, when hooking the unit up, be sure to establish...

February 24th, 2010. The Sprag units on the M35A2 series were automatically engaged, but controlled by the shifter in the cab as to forward or reverse sprag clutch engagements. The sprags were supposed to kick in automatically when the fron wheels and the rear wheels had a rotational...

February 24th, 2010. RTL434 & others:aua If your problem is in the starter solenoid, it is because there are two sets of contacts that must make contact to motor the starter and engage the Bendix. If either malfunctions due to wear, the starter will not kick. This is usually due to...

February 23rd, 2010. Blacktop: Paint is Tan 686A, I'm not sure of Rapco or Gillece's number, but that should get you a match less fading. Nice plow set up, how'd you attach it to the frame without heavy mods, and what are you using for the hoist mechanism? Cheers...

February 23rd, 2010. blckdblnkl: IF I had your money and lived in Hawaii, it would be a U1300L Unimog with ultra high speed axles and a diesel engine, a much better truck then either of your other choices and much,much cheaper used. The Unimog in any form will out climb and outhaul either of...

February 23rd, 2010. Pawnshop: At least YOUR deuce has a cab heater and defroster, you oughta try to run one in snow without cab heat when the snow's falling hard. Every half mile or so you gotta stop and clear the winshields cause the wipers aren't removing it and its all...

February 23rd, 2010. Gents: For those of you considering doing a hookup setup in the future (generator to house connection) might I also suggest that you check out Pyle-National for the plugs and receptacle units used to hook railroad passenger cars up to the standby 220 3phase systems at...

February 22nd, 2010. Might I suggest the use of Liquid Electrical Tape instead of wrapping the resultant mod in regular electrical tape? The item should be available at Home Depot, Lowe's or your local electrican's supply shop, and might make a neater and more reliable job as it...

February 22nd, 2010. reb87: Check the internet for truck towing companies in Columbus (OH), most of them can haul the trailer and store it if you tell them, but be sure to let them know the size, length, height, width, and tare weights so they can give you a correct price. When...
