Joe Young once said...if you want more speed out of your deuce, remove the radiator cap and back the truck out. Drive a Peterbuilt in and re-install the radiator cap. These trucks are not made for speed. Guys who paid $1500-3500 for their trucks and can mount monster truck tires on them to get...

JUHA, your English was perfect. Thanks for the response!

TulsaME: The paint on your truck looks like 383 green CARC to me. It just is faded. It could be forest green (the base color for the 4 color MERDC camo), but I think it is 383 green.

Cool. Congrats on the truck!

There is NOTHING wrong with the M105A3s landing leg IF you follow the guidelines set forth in the TM. The landing leg is designed to hold up the front of the trailer, whether it is loaded or not. It is NOT designed to allow you to roll the trailer around with a full load in it. If your...

I have said it before...the GL site encourages you to bid sight unseen with all of the nice pictures and descriptions. Yeah, they tell you to inspect, but they realize that most people will not inspect. Trust me, while I like to inspect before I bid, I have gambled in the past that a truck or...

Bob, did you get the w/w truck or the wo/w?

FMJ, beautiful paint job! Good luck with the sale.

I agree with PB. Historic insurance won't cover you to tow other trucks.

I believe it was semi-gloss until sometime in the mid-70s when they converted to 4-color MERDC camo. They, then, transitioned in the late 80s to the 3-color NATO camo that we see on most of our trucks. I don't have David Doyle's book near me to quote the exact years for the changes. So, to...

I've got a choice? Please enlighten me about my options. To the best of my knowledge, they are the ONLY real game in town. Sure, GSA and a couple of other smaller websites have an occasional military vehicle, but no where near what GL has. If you meant to say, "Well, they are a very flawed...

I should have added above that only a few of those things happened to me. One of them happened to a good friend and the others happened to people on this list and were posted previously. I only typed from the top of my head. I know there were many other horror stories.

Did people on-site steal $1200 worth of parts off of your trucks? Ever been given the wrong trailer because they gave your (nicer) trailer to someone else? Ever had someone steal the safety chains off of your trailer because the GL rep was not watching customers during pick-up? Ever had your...

I think JWALLER meant to say that the "939's were NOT rebuilt from 809's." They were new trucks. That does not mean that some parts might not be interchangeable (doors, driver's seat, lights, reflectors, tailgate, etc.)...but they definitely were new trucks...not rebuilds. The M35A3s, on the...

Contact EMMADO22 (Mark)...he may have some or might know where you can look.

PHILY, I recommend starting a new thread as your information request is sure to be missed by many people who may be able to help since it is buried in an unrelated thread. My suggestion...contact the usual suspects (PCTRANS, Ray Patton, etc.) and also contact car haulers. The latter might...

I have one. There is no boom on it. It is simply a chain fall (big pulley with chain running through it) with a hook on the top to attach to the spare tire handling davit. I was lucky to find mine as it was NOS. I know many of us are stuck on correctness (I have been guilty of this...

CHIEF_919, unfortunately, there are a lot of guys in the drive-em-out club on this site. I agree with you wholeheartedly...better to get them hauled. I always factor in shipping when determining if I can afford a truck. If the cost of shipping a truck puts it out of my range, then I don't...

That's funny. I, too, was thinking of buying an M915A1. Hmmm...I wonder if we will try to "buy" the same truck?!?! Good luck. It ain't gonna be cheap.

I suppose I did not see your statement about price shopping. I am sorry I missed that sentence.
