    M211 Project - A work in progress

    RE: Amber lights You can put the larger military lights on your truck for the front and rear lights. They look like the ones on the M35s that are posted in that forum. Direct bolt up and all you'll need to do is run the wire from the fender lights to the new lights. Nice looking...

    I did three pumps on my truck one summer because two of the replacements were bad. It is easier with all the things removed as said. Follow the manual!

    M880 with commo shelter

    Ah ok...So it would be set up very much like a M1028 CUCVs were. The big C channel that bolted to the front of the bed and then the two corner brackets in the rear.

    M880 with commo shelter

    I know the M882 was suppose to be the commo truck and many were done with a rack and antennas, but were S-250 type commo shelters used in M880s? And if so did the truck get a different number was it still the M882? Thanks

    m880 fuel pump

    Is it possible that the arm on the pump is either A: worn till it is too short to be pushed by the cam, or B: Not seated properly to be moving? It's got to be something stupid as to why he's not getting fuel.

    Looking for a deuce tractor
