Oh and I held out for a truck with a winch
Waiting on the EUC for it now ( M36A2 w/winch)
I got some $50 plus shipping from 48739
but you may want to call http://www.shadetreerecycling.net/
he used to have many M880 & 4dr Airforce Dodges
they are in Butler, MO
I use my Jeep Cherokee XJ 4.0 to pull my M101A2 , most recently I had 1200lbs of ready mix (15 - 80lb bags) & a 40 gallon water heater in it. (Didn't even look loaded down)
No the Cherokee doesn't like that kind of weight, especially with the 32 inch tires on it.
Keep it out of overdrive @ 60mph...
The M880 rims are stamped 6 7/8 (6.875")
Van & 2wd were 6" wide
Many people do not know how to measure rim width, it is NOT outside to outside.
Humvee rims are 8.5 wide I believe
W200 plain jane wheels were never 8" wide
Dodge did offer wagon wheels that were 8.5 wide as an option
6 7/8 wide
I have 36-12.50-16.5 humvee tires on a set, they are a bit narrow
Alfa Heaven uses the Dodge rims on the CUCV's & M880's with humvee tires.
humvee rims could be used with 2"thick steel spacers, Do NOT use aluminum spacers!
Yes mine has a Ramsey 12,000lb pto winch.
The pics of the front end of yours do not look as if it had a winch up front.
I believe 1981 was the year they added the "00" My 81 GMC was a 1500 and I have an 87 K1500
I know who's it is!
It belongs to the guy with the deep pockets that out bid me:evil:
Funny though, if I had won that one you may have still seen it on a flatbed heading up I-75
cover is vinyl , the M880 series set up is very simular.
the going price for seats & bows will vary depending on condition
shipping can get pricey to
a cargo cover, you should be able to get for under $150
Sorry no pic.
I am not sure if the AF had the M880 series trucks.
The M880 series were tactical trucks, (barely)
They did have plenty of Dodges of that era though, mostly 4 door.
Most AF trucks that stayed on base were painted Strata Blue
I have never seen a M880 series truck that wasn't green...
Welcome to the forum! Not many out there for the M880 series trucks.
These trucks operate on 12v, single battery on drivers side 12v alternator on passenger side, if I recall correctly Dodges won't run without a battery
The M885's didn't come with 24v but if it did
the 24 v is only for the radio...
RE: Need some help finding a part for a
Hmmmm.........
I just looked at 3 parts trucks here, and they are not like the picture.
edit
ok I looked at the TM
The part that you have circled is for a 76 "before 8-15-76"
view "A" is what mine have.
This M927A2 ( I think ) (edit: it is a M928A2) is parked next to a M36A2 that I'm bi ding on
I was told that it isn't going up for auction, probably a good thing as I could see myself going deep in debt for that thing :cookoo:
Oh and what does PFO on the bumper stand for?
77 2wd drive has a std rotation steering box.
Also the length of the steering box on my 79w200 is longer than the 77's and the steering column shaft is shorter on the 79 to match the longer box.
I am going to look into this farther as the power unit on my 77 has some play in it and the issue of...
The fender emblem looks 79 80 to me , 79's had the turn signals in the valance.
also the 77 M880 is a reverse rotation steering box, sits on shelf off the frame, in 78 the shelf is gone and it is std rotaton I believe, I'd be interested in seeing how an 82 steering box could work.
