I am trying to figure out who manufactured this truck. CARNAC gave me all of the info that he had (thank you sir) which is it was built in 1969 with a serial number of M725 10601. There is no manufacturer listed. The truck was rebuilt in 1975 and was given another serial number of 05C-21769-M725...
I don't know who's idea it was to bring the tactical quiet, forced induction refrigeration unit for keeping those perishable military parts cool but that is pure brilliance![thumbzup]
Hey. Thanks for all of the input guys. I just got back from Findlay and .... well that's a different thread. It looks like the forks may have got the best of the rear tires. Hard to tell. They took care of the flaps,lights and bottom of the bed for sure. I have experience with the fuel systems...
Well my bidding fingers got the best of me yesterday. Bought an A3 at Warner Robins. It has 4 flat tires and does not run. They said that it turns over but will not start. I am looking for someone that might be able to move it off base so that I can get it running to drive back north. I will...
Copy on the kits for Gimp and southdave. Kipman,try and give me a yes/no/maybe. Hate to dig em out,load em up,bring em back home and put em away again.But then again,I might do that for a beer. Anyone have any HEMTT wheels they are needing to part with? I could use 6 or 7.

12.5/20's some like new,12 available,$100-$125 each
WWII style Wagner brake cables with end receptacles,nos,$50
Generator adapter test sets,excellent used, $75
Deuce airpack rebuild...
In Ohio, it depends on what you are going to use it for. Anyone can drive anything including an 18 wheeler without a cdl as long as it is not used in commerce (subject to change in the near future). But be prepared to be interrogated. I can think of more reasons why I wouldn't want a cdl if I...
The bad news is that many times water makes its way down to the o-ring sealing surfaces and rusts the sealing surfaces (especially with salt water environments). Takes some sanding,filling and painting to make a good sealing surface again.
Carnac. Let me try it the right way.

A brake could be dragging. Does the drum get hot? Check your wheel bearings. I doubt that it is a bearing but for the couple of minutes it takes to pull the drive flange off and check won't hurt. I have had bad luck with 5 ton wheel bearings lately.
Try Gemplers.

I think that the o-rings may be different for the 3 different 5 ton wheels. There are 2 styles of 10 bolt wheels and a 20 bolt wheel. Someone on here should know what size o-ring fits each.
