    Official 2018 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 17-21, 2018

    I hope you make it as well Pat. My oldest has a football game at Oglethorpe not far from the rally. I'll need to be absent for a few hours Friday to watch the game and bring him to the rally.

    M1028 6.2 No key, UK

    Ainsey, if Joseph isn't able to get you a key, send me a PM with your mailing info. Sending a key to the UK is only a couple of $$.

    Did I throw a belt?

    I would not drive it very far without air assist. You don't weight enough to stop it very well without air. How do I know you don't weigh enough? You fit in the cab.

    Bleeding brakes

    I'm guessing here but I'd say I have bled deuce brakes maybe 50 times. Not all my trucks but all with my bleeder. Unless I'm pressed for time or on the road, I'll bleed them and let it sit overnight and bleed it again. There are some spots that just need to pushes to get air out. As far as the...

    Can anyone back up a M101?

    I've backed mine with a deuce, it's a challenge. If you can't see the trailer sides, add a magnetic extension so you you can see the reactive movements.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Electric power steering is a reality now.

    Recommend Durable Seat Cover?

    Check with John before you order. M1010 bucket seats are wider at the top than M1009 seats. They really are quite a bit different.

    2018 Findlay Oh Armed forces day buy-sell-trade & Info

    GA Rally last yr went on but it wasn't the same without Gimp and stuff tipping over. I imagine Findlay will be the same.

    M1009 roll cage & rock slider build

    I think even with the rear bar picked in, you gain strength in the frame mount. My son has an S10 blazer with a 8 pt bar. No back seat but we have toyed with the idea of a single racing bucket back there.

    New owner!

    Congrats. That is the exact and only truck that would get me back into a 5 ton. Had no idea Stevie boy was selling it. I think you got a keeper. Suggestion on the TMs. What I do is print only what I need and when it gets munged up with fingerprints, I throw it away. The air and wiring...

    2018 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade

    That's ridiculous Clinto. Just use a tire adapter.

    save M715 original or making it practical ?

    This will likely have more questions than answers but here we go. Statement 1. I've only ever owned one M715 and I never drove it. Opinion 1. M715s beg to be modded but as Tim said, you wack the resale value of them when you do. So, from an investment point of view, what could you do to...

    Spacers to Raise the Seats

    It just dawned on me, you're working with bucket seats already if this is an M1010. I'd have to say, the seats in my 1010 leave you feel like your sitting in a hole.

    Spacers to Raise the Seats

    Consider spacing between the seat and the track rather than between the track and floorpan.

    Gonna have to paint it your trademark lime greenish.

    What is this?

    Kinda resembles a Volvo sugga.

    M1010 electrical

    The Leece Nevilles are isolated ground alternators. By dedicating one to each battery, you retain all the benefits of both systems. Mine has been absolutely flawless since Roy did the install.

    M1010 electrical

    I would suggest reading this thread a couple of times. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?101135-M1010-DUVAC-Removal-Plan-quot-B-quot&highlight=Plan+b Pay attention to ChevyC60 posts. I own the ambulance he did. Basically, he used 2 12v Leece Neville alts and made a fool proof system.

    Well, poopoo, mine are welded. I shall reach out to reading and see if I can buy the ones you have. If you happen to remove one of your for adjustments, can you snap a pic please?

    M101a3 trailer build

    Not sure what they are actually called. The little doodads that your doors pivoted on. I see a hole where they might have been. Mine look like this.
