Welcome to the site. Awesome truck for your first mil-veh!

What is the story on that picture? I don't recall a thread on that, but I might have missed it. That does not look like it ended well.

Good info, Wes. I have heard about AM General using M809 series frames on the M939 series trucks. I don't have an M809 series truck to examine the differences between the frames, but I wonder if anyone has such a truck (M939 with M809 series frame). They are probably pretty rare.

I have never heard of the military procuring M809 series trucks with auto transmissions. As far as I know, they were finishing up one run (M809) while they were starting the next (M939).

CUCVFAN in Jarrettsville, MD has NOS landing legs and repro crank handles. I am unsure if he has anything else.

Chris, how much of the truck-specific stuff have you been able to locate vs. are you still looking for? I am curious how far away from completing the truck you are. That sure is a great truck to restore.

Yeah, Andrew is a great guy!

Do you, by chance, have the manufacturer and filter # so I could cross reference it?

Lindsay151, I am curious which inline fuel filter you added to your truck. I have an M151A2 and I also added an inline fuel filter. The set up works well to keep any dirt out of the stock fuel filter. However, your inline filter is bigger and I would like to upgrade mine. Please advise...

You've got it backwards. They can legally tag and drive tracked vehicles on the road in the UK! In fact, I believe they can also own fully functional tank guns...at least I was offered a fully functional T-72 about a decade ago from a guy in the UK. I would have had to get it demil'ed to US...

It's gonna be salty, but you could always try EASTERN SURPLUS in PA. I would bet they have winch kits. I used to pay $1000/kit, but I think those days are gone. I got one from Rich Greene in PA, who is now deceased; he was a great guy.

Beautiful truck. I don't have any wisdom to add. But, is there any way to drive on back roads, or will you have to drive on the highway? I'd think the truck would like it better if you kept the RPM down. I always worry about leaking seals when you get it back home, although they can always...

Chris, that truck is sweet. Did I see a NAVY SEABEE sticker on the door? Very cool.

I would assume the frame is stamped, but I am not certain of that. I have a 1971 Ford M151A2. I did not know that the fenders on my MUTT were not identical to the others on newer A2s. If anyone has pictures showing the differences, I'd appreciate seeing that.

If it was me, I'd find the same engine out of a low mileage/hour truck and go with that. My $.02.

I love that 4 color MERDC camo!

I am very sorry to hear this. My prayers go out to him and his family.

Do you have any pics under the hood that you can share?

Or, your differentials are pressurizing and causing differential lube to seep out. Open the fill plugs slowly and carefully and listen to see if you hear an air release sound.

Looks good.
