It could just be a factory flaw. I once bought a brand new M939 series hard top (from another vendor). I removed it from an unopened crate. Well, it did not fit right. The fabrication of the front piece that butts up against the A pillar was crooked. The fabricated part had to be cut to...

Have you checked the fluid level? I assume so, but I had to ask. They whine a bit if they are low on fluid. If it is low, you could have leaking seals somewhere. In that case, I suggest using Lucas power steering fluid/additive. I once had a truck with such a leak and, after a couple of...

I agree with the steel fuel line idea, too. But, the chain that secures the fuel cap to the tank could be contributing, too. It is steel and rusts. They should have made it out of aluminum or stainless steel. As the rust gets more severe, the chain starts to disintegrate and the rust...

I had one just like that. It was an M928 (converted to A1 with super singles) by the USMC. It had a drop-side bed just as you described. I, too, agree that there are not many around, or at least I've not seen them either.

What about talking to someone at your local National Guard motor pool?

I believe, on the winch trucks, the headlights were mounted higher like they were on the later trucks. Maybe someone else will chime in to confirm my suspicion. I have not had many of the older deuces, but I did have a truck that had a winch and was converted to multi-fuel. It had the higher...

I believe the M37 heaters were mounted to the front fender, weren't they? If so, the pictures show no heater.

I own an M151A2 and I concur with what has already been said. The only thing I could think of that may be more desirable in an M151 or M151A1 is that they may be more rare given that they are older. I don't know that for a fact, though, because I don't know how many of each model were released...

It looks pretty clean. Also, it has the fuel burning heater in the van body (or at least the exhaust is present). Nice score. Good luck with the recovery.

I believe I read somewhere...and I am sure someone will either confirm this or shoot me down :) ...that the bridge plate number is something like half of the GVW of the truck (if a trailer is being towed, the bridge plate would show the C for COMBINED and that weight would be included). So, if...

I could be mistaken, but I think the OP was asking for guidance on the bridge plate number to be used with his/her truck. I think they were asking if there is a resource out there that specifies the numbers to be used for particular model trucks.

It seems to be coming along nicely! I am looking forward to seeing more.

I would contact Breton to see what they can do for you. I would want a replacement, but I don't know what their warranty period is.

383 green is the correct color for your truck, assuming you want to stick with green as the base color.

No, another member (jcappeljr) purchased it and converted it into a dump, I believe.

It did in many roles. But, the M113 is still in service and serves many roles that the Bradleys do not (e.g., battlefield ambulance, engineer vehicle, command vehicle). The AMPV is supposed to send the M113 to retirement for good...if they are able to buy enough of them.

Good luck with your truck! Keep us posted!

Yes, he did.

PM WINKSTER on this list. He just recently drove an M35A2C from Eastern in Philly to CA. He may have some advice for you on your trip. Good luck!

Great job. I enjoy reading about your progress. Thanks for posting all of the updates! Will the front door seals be able to resist blowing rain at 55-65 MPH? It looks like it could be a potential water trap. I guess they are designed for serious storms so you should be fine. You may want to...
