Nice score on the trailer. The length listed on the GL ad if correct rules out the M348 series trailers as they are 326" in length. Without any visible vents it looks like a XM1007. All the M373 models had at least some vents somewhere on the body. The XM models had 9 clearance lights and the...
The 1976 K20 4x4 pickups were offered only with a 4.10 gearset, more user friendly than 4.56's. The front likely is a Dana 44 if original. If the axles/brake calipers are not all rusted up might be worth offering for them. There were/are a lot of 3/4 ton 4x4 Suburbans running around on those...
Biggest difference is that there were no square body K30 GM trucks untill 1977 model year. Single or dual wheel. If you found a 1976 with a Dana 60 front, someone other than GM put it there.
If you are having problems in Wisconsin contact Gov. Walker as he is top dog in the state not some awol senator. The problems lie at the top!

I stopped driving regular Nov. 1987. Haven't read regulations book likely since. Didn't ever hear about the "drive safely" signs being outlawed too. I never got into hauling placard materials as such. Did over-sized loads, steel, freight and dump work. Come to think of it, 1987 probably was when...
Thanks for the offer. Even though I can get myself into trouble it's nice to know there's someone willing to help me into it! Seems to me that there is a beer company that has a triangular logo/label. I'm unable to remember who it is.

The trailer had the placards on it when I won it on GL. Someone stole the one off the front and rear of the trailer before I picked it up at Wright-Patterson. The 101st ABN must have been using it to haul restricted material.
I was thinking of adding a "beer" decal to the white pages. Likely...
Not all military manuals give the same information. The data plates in the trucks are sometimes different also. The 361-10 has a weight chart with the added notation to subtract 520 lbs for no winch. The 209-10 list an empty weight for my M342a2 w/w as 15,500 and the 361-10 list it as 15,775...
Monday afternoon I was looking at combat rims for my 915A1.
Sam Winers has been active in recent GL auctions, buying surplus parts. I got some clearance marker lights/lenses for my M348A2 trailer while there also. As for the tires, the more you buy, the better the price. I always call or speak...
Thanks Gimpyrobb!
I really like the open tread design of my XML's but, it seems I can never find a set good enough to throw on a truck and run long distance from home without tire trouble fears. I feel I can run anywhere on these new tires.
I stopped at Sam Winers yesterday to pick up some small items and look around for items not on my have to have list. To my surprise Winers had a new/almost new shipment of Goodyear MVT's in stock. The tires had teats all around and no ozone damage/cracks. Top that off with a very good price and...
I remembered the truck because it had about 3 or 4 page thread about what it was. I downloaded a pic of that truck at the time. It is still in a folder in my documents. The pic has a download date in April 2009. I did a search for the thread but could not find it. I think the thread was in the...
