Welcome to the 5 ton G744 club!!

Elvis has left the building.

Got a message today. Shortly after our conversation on the phone and left the house of someone I know, Ron went to the VA hospital as he was not feeling well. They discovered some internal bleeding and is having a procedure to find where it is coming from today. If anyone has some pull...

I'm sure it worked fine for who put it on there but unless I needed the intake that it was sitting on, I would not have touched it but that's just me. Now if it still has the orig fuel pump................Id grab that too and the unique heat shield that's attached to it that is sometimes missing.

Military always had the ETW1. If your still picking parts off that other one. If its not cracked, I would take the exhaust manifold. Just sayin

Great job on that Brandon. Did you have good pics of the exhaust to go by? When I talked with Charlie who drove Brutus, he is still in contact with the guy who changed the exhaust on it to go down below the fender. He is going to talk to him about braising mine together for me and I will...

I think ANY MV has its stories to tell. There are some special ones out there that we are now just discovering. But to the right person, any of our trucks can be something special and I know it all to well and is the reason why I do what I do. I've been talking with guys who were on Guntrucks...

Talked today for the first time with Ron who was driving the day they lost Larry Dahl. Great conversation and I got to fill in some gaps on the timeline that I have going. one thing you will learn if you ever attempt to build one and want to be accurate. You will quickly find that no truck...

Hold on to your hat with that one...............but just remember, its all going into my own build :)

Will do. I will also throw out there that I have a MX-2799 antenna base and a intercom system I will not be using. All are in Semi gloss paint. Stuff I have collected for years for my GT project and to only find that once I had chosen BRUTUS, well they had no intercom and the later antenna...

Ive got to dig some arty stuff out for a guy in the UK tomorrow, I will grab them when I see em. I also have some amber lights if you go that route. Dont bother with the new ones out there, not the correct tint as the originals

You going to be looking for yellow headlights too??? Send me a PM on the Armor lights as I have one set left. Since I don't need em and I already sent a set to Sammy when he built ACE and then once again when Ron built Black Widow. I will dig them out.

By definition is it not the FDC that make the engine a Multi Fuel? Sure it may burn it........but

Here is a FYI, you are specific to a Multifuel? Just let it be known that many of these trucks have been "DE-Multifueled" per say by the removal of the Fuel Density compensator on the Injector pump. If your gong to do something like Bio or mix with motor oil..........I would not do it. If...

Get it outta there and strip it...................my god get those fenders off first!!! I'd take the whole thing and strip it down to nothing.

Had a good first chat before the new year with one of the drivers of BRUTUS in 1970. We talked about many things about the truck and I got a few stories as well. One of the convoys the crew noticed a tractor that had a trailer with brand new 11.00x20 rubber. So always on the look out, he...

They are still out and about. Great engines, I certainly would not turn away any of them at the right price. But hey Im a sucker for the G744

Grab the fenders while your there...............worth there wt in gold. Can always use for trade material and im sure youll get your money back

Its a sickness.

Is there faded Seabee markings on the doors?
