4.10 gearing and gas motor, I'd say easier modified than the CUCV (Although I'm a Chevy guy deep down)

I prefer to use the unit #'s it had. Althought the truck id is sometimes changed to HQ #. Regarding having bumper markings vs not. In my experience, I get the same reactions from people both ways. The average person just doesn't notice bumper markings. Yet, in my town, the military could roll...

Been there, seen that. Will be there & see that again on http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/39512-camp-grayling-annual-fall-color-tour-9-25-9-27-a.html]9-26 :wink:

There is a strip of wood between the bed and frame to absorb movement during frame flex. Maybe we should describe the frame movement as twist. The point of maximum twist is centered between the front axle and the center of the rear supension. The amount of twist decreases to nothing as you move...

WTF? vibration? The spring mounts on the front of the bed were engineered because the frame flexes between the front & rear axles during off camber situations off the highway. Now on a bobbed deuce the flex would be less due to the removal of the rear most axle and well over a ton of weight...

The M101A2 trailer uses the M116A2 chassis.

Extended height cover, the staves are likely longer also

Trans bellhousings are different for big & small blocks

1. yes & no, the rotations are different on the 75-77 4wd vs 2wd, so while a 2wd unit will bolt up you will turn right when the wheel is turned left :shock: 2. 75 to 77 4wd are direct replacement (steering box) 72 to 93 {either 2wd or 4wd} can be made to work, by replaceing more than just the...

There are 4 deuces in my neighborhood! all mine! bwahahahahahhahahaha.................... :roll: really need to loose that bidder id & password, maybe even have a big clearance sale ODD {Olive Drab Diesease} there is no cure, arghh........................

Sure it will offend purists, but they don't own your truck, you do. Besides M880 series truck purists are far & few between. pick below of one of mine, only mods are a civi receiver hitch, an inline fuel filter and humvee tires. It may be low on power but will push through bumper deep mud & snow :-D

Camp Grayling Annual Fall Color Tour 9/25-9/27 Great Lakes MVPA / MMMT 17th Annual Camp Grayling Fall Color Tour September 25 - 26 - 27, 2009 All Great Lakes MVPA members should have received the advance registration form in the newsletter. This event is restricted to...

No need for two covers. Working on mine, adjustable staves, low position for driving normal use, with extension tucked up under. and "raise the roof" for camping or hauling stuff. :idea:

I planned on putting a rubber brake hose at the pivot point on mine. {Now to go have some popcorn while I await responses in this thread}

The Great Lakes MVPA / MMMT fall "Camp Grayling Color Tour " trail ride is that weekend. Granted things wrap up around mid day in Grayling on Sunday the 27th so doing both is feasable for some. I don't think I'll make it down.

Starter relay on fenderwell. Pos cable from battery connects & big cable from starter connects among other wires. I have had issues with connections on these. Take wires off & clean, as just trying to tighten them could break the relay. {...........out crawling under M880...............}...

Lookin' Good Lane [thumbzup] Geez that poor GMC, you took her feet for the Dodge :wink: Cab mount lift blocks. The rear of that cab is raised at least 3 inches. I have / had M880, M882, M884, M886 & 78 W400 AF Ambulance, none of which has those blocks. Why? Could it be that the contact box is...

I seen some of those wheels at the big Grayling auction preview.

Oh yeah, I was amazed at how many trucks were still there. (buyer refused or defaulted) The one I lucked out on (10 new wheels & tires) had a prevous lot# of 5691 which listed a dropside which went that time for $715. Hard to imagine anyone refusing that truck for $715. Granted it needed brake...

There is lumber stacked agaisnt the step forming small steps. Still an impressive site to see. Sorry Phil, that was me walking in front of your camera while watching him load that truck. :oops: Wish I'd of known it was you. I think I let your trucker in the gate while I was leaving, he said he...
