    Why does all the cool stuff auction in Hawaii!

    I should add that you also need to either know who to call or do a lot of leg work figuring it out. There are a lot of parties that need to get involved...the wrecker company, the company that will either get your truck running or put it into a container, the company that will move the...

    Why does all the cool stuff auction in Hawaii!

    Absolutely...trucks go cheaper in HI. However, by the time you figure the cost of shipping and trucking, you usually don't save any money and often pay more. The reason for doing it...sometimes there are trucks there that are not available here. I got the tractor pictured above out of HI in...

    Why does all the cool stuff auction in Hawaii!

    Truth be told...I was considering it and I have previously gotten a truck out of Hawaii. It is costly...and a lot of trouble...but it can be done. Here is another truck that I got previously...

    M809, what to bring when collecting one from GL

    Don, make sure you remind the wrecker driver to put the t-case in neutral. Joe Young once had a truck delivered with the t-case in low range! You can imagine all the damage that did.

    5 ton super singles needed

    I hate to say it but being short on cash will make it difficult for you to find rims. I believe they go for $200 each or so. The rims are getting rare. Since you are in OH, I suggest that you call Sam Winer, but, truthfully, I think they are gonna be expensive.

    Bad Deuce engine?

    If I remember correctly, they sucked water into the air intake. I think that damaged the motor and caused the ticking sound.

    Which one to pick?

    John has some wise words. Sometimes the trucks that don't look the prettiest say the cheapest and are the best buys. Everyone wants the pretty truck. A friend of mine used to have a saying about picking the best of the ugly chicks early in the evening and that way he would always be...

    My "new" M931A1 project truck.

    Gillespie makes a good paint. The CARC is cool because it is authentic and for that reason I often use it, but, as a paint covering, it is probably not the greatest. It fades fairly quickly and is easy to scuff. Don't get me wrong...I like the CARC...but Gillespie is good, too.

    M932 oil tank location

    HOT ROD DEUCE: I wonder if you could remove the rear cat walk and mount a tank beneath it. This is where the tank is mounted on a 5 ton dump. I bet you can fab something up so it will look stock to the casual observer...if you care about that.

    My "new" M931A1 project truck.

    Gillespie probably wears a bit better in my experience. The colors are very close.

    Which one to pick?

    Go with the clean truck and forget the troop seats. I see you are in MD...if I can help, let me know. Good luck!

    M809, what to bring when collecting one from GL

    I know this is not too sexy...but...tags and insurance would be nice. I am surprised no one suggested that.

    M932 oil tank location

    Yup, the A2 is your truck, Dave!

    My "new" M931A1 project truck.

    Chris, will the truck be painted with CARC or Gillespie? Looks great!

    M932 oil tank location

    I am attaching two pictures that show the location of the tank on the M931/M932 and the M931A1/A2 and M932A1/A2. I hope this helps.

    Value of M51?

    If you get it for $500, you stole it. It is worth more. Work your way backward from what it is worth if it was running and what it would take to get it there. I bet that truck is worth at least $5K if it was running.

    M932 oil tank location

    Actually, they were mounted in two locations depending upon the model of your truck. On the M931/M932s (NDCCs), the tank was mounted between the passenger side fuel tank and the mud flap. On the A1 and A2 trucks, it was mounted behind the cab as Joe points out. It depends upon which truck you...

    M36A2 fr Lansing to NE Michigan 160 miles

    I suggest you get it hauled. There are plenty of trucking companies. PM me for a list of #s. With all of these trucks being driven out, many without tags or insurance, driving these trucks out is a disaster waiting to happen. A couple of lawsuits later, and this hobby will have been changed...

    Gazing into a crystal ball.........

    My belief is inline with what a few others have stated earlier...if it is an approved military modification, I am fine with it. If not, it does not go on my trucks. That is my belief and I stick to it. I don't like bobbed trucks and I am not into modified trucks in any way shape or form...
