Well sorta anyway,
Found an ad for 42 willys jeep parts.
looks like GPW24333 with a GPW34176 engine (block) It has a T90A tranny on it, & the transfer case needs some investigating, 2 combat wheels and maybe 1 early wheel. Have to get it out of the M101A2 to further check the one wheel out...
One of the trucks I got last year had an oily residues dripping from odd places.
Didn't know what to think..........................
Then one of the National Guard guys told me they sprayed the crap out the trucks with wasp spray and that is what was dripping....:cookoo:
There are Expansible van bodies and water purification trucks that already have something like a slide out.
the 5 ton expansible is the M820, there is a long wheel base deuce (M36 chassis) with the same or simular box on it, although the M# is escaping me...
WOW! 8,000
per the data tag a M886 is 6100lb
M880 (IIRC) is in the 4800lb area
My W400 Ambulance data tag shows 7366lb

They need to rethink the carbon fiber front clip, man! bump a fender on a treeaua

I am interested in more detail on the dual exhaust set up.
my bed plans leave some space between the bed & cab. I have been toying with the idea of dual stacks, but haven't come up with a good plan to get over / under the frame rails yet.
I have seen the same pics used in different auctions.
People have seen pics of the trucks they already have at home, being used on current auctions.
Unfortunately you can not trust the pics or descriptions in the GL auctions.
Read their rules, they even admit that fact in writing.
I trust my M880's and I know how to keep them going.
Haven't had a CUCV, they are more pricey than the blacksheep 880's.
I would love to have a M1009, but I have an SUV already ('01 Cherokee with over 150k on the clock.)
