RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: M880 article and pics posted My Apologies John, We had communicated on the errors in this article last summer. You suggested that I write a correction and send it to you. Following up on and correcting those errors didn't seem like a subscriber responsibility to me.

RE: Re: RE: M880 article and pics posted No I'm just saying the article has some mis-information, same as I noted when the print issue came out. Granted, I didn't spend my time writing a free correction for your magazine. (Which I pay for)I simply posted a couple of the errors on here at the time.

Tou could get one from a junk yard or a parts truck I suppose. The data plates have the VIN , Reg # date of delivery, Model # etc, stamped into the metal. I see no way of re-stamping one either.

Thanks John, It would have been nice to have had the inaccuracies / mis-statements corrected or at least noted at the end.

Well,,,,,,,,,, She is too far rusted to restore (within financial reason). I'm seriously considering a customization into an off road camper. Still an expensive process, yet things can be done cheaper when originality isn't a concern. The other option is to part it out and scrap the remains...

Picked up another M886 yesterday :roll: On the way home I came to the realization that it was last May when I picked up the M880 that I was towing this M886 home with. After I buy this one, I find out I could of got a rust free M725 with an oil burning problem. Oh well. and my Apologies to...

CUCV pintle on stock M880 bumper, with custom radius'd spacer (thin rusty piece)

From TM

Pintle is rotating type, almost idetical to cucv & humvee unit. On the 880 the pintle is mounted where the license tag would mount on a civi truck. the tag area has rienforcing plates and the bumber brackets have an added piece of angle iron for rigidity. I will look for some pics

it's not there :?:

What are the specs for tightening the bearings on a DANA 60 rear drums?

I was thinking the same thing about the back spacing issue, I think mcguyver used aftermarket rims. I heard somewhere that the Humvee rims will fit. These things seem to breed like rabbits around here! Recently sold a M882, Currently in the yard are 1 M880, 1 M882, 1 M884, 1 M886 and 1 79W200...

I'm thinking about getting another M886, Why? because it's there. With 2, I could keep the current one original, and make an olive drab / camo camper special put of this one. An extra leaf in the springs, all the way around and some Humvee tires? Anyone have a pic how a Humvee rim fits / works...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: All of what you need can be gotten. Sure they may be some difficulty importing some things. but it can be gotten. Steering box look for used 78 & newer W100 / W150 / W250 should be the same. Have you gone to a local auto parts store...

TB-43 0209 does not show the M886, It does show an M887 and some other ambulances. I also would like to find some official patterns. check this link for a decent pic of a 4 color M886 in service, http://www.olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m886_ambulance.php the M886 in the lower pics is mine, I...

RE: Re: RE: Cheap M880 on Ebay! Sold it the 2nd time around!

While I'm sure there are a few things that can be done to improve the fuel mileage. but these things weigh well over 4000lbs, have the aerodynamics of a brick and 4.10 gearing. They could never get good mileage. I firmly believe that a small 4 barrel & a RV cam would help out. I think headers...

Re: RE: Cheap M880 on Ebay! :lol: Well I gave my Dress Blues away to a new young Marine years ago. They would have needed to be let out a little anyway :oops: I'm guessing since I'll be 47 next Friday, that the Corps isn't interested in having me back though. Anyway I just re-listed the...

Yep, It went pretty cheap, except for the fact that it was a deadbeat bidder :twisted: Will be relisting it again today. Body is pretty rusted but engine & drivetrain are very good. If it wasn't so cold here now I'd part it out and scrap the rest, would net about $1000 that way. :?

Heavy shipping from SS in PA I have a couple good used ones for $175, but no way to ship them.
