Read any post to which she responded and there will be a PM button below her post. I know she has PM because she has PM'ed me before.

The bullet hole might have been self-inflicted. I once owned a HMMWV that had two bullet holes through the floorboard on the passenger side that looked consistent with an M16 round...or so a friend that does ballistic testing for the military told me.

I don't believe you'll find a commercial trucker who is willing to pull/tow the trailer home for insurance reasons. I have asked and been told just this. You will probably have to get it loaded onto a trailer to get it home. Now, if you can find a guy with an M818 or M52, they might be...

Mike: The truck you are looking at has 1100 X 20 Michelin XLs so, right off the bat, you are ahead of most other deuce owners when it comes to off-road capabilities.

I am guessing the guy bought them as scrap. Apparently, it is easier for the govt to rid itself of scrap than by selling the trucks individually. I will add that I believe, if trucks are sold as scrap, they have to be scrapped. In other words, if these trucks were sold to this dealer as...

FREIGHTTRAIN has already hit on what I would have said...width and turning radius. Plus, with no power steering, it is difficult to turn the steering wheel when you are in tight and are not moving.

The first sentence should have read "...early next year."

I have been told that ALL M35A2s will be out of the system by early year. By the numbers flowing out this year so far, that may not be far off the mark. I would be shocked if there are any M35A2s or related variants in the system in five years, with the possible exception of the A3s. However...

CRASH_AF: He is referring to the Freightliner trucks, I believe, NOT the BMY produced M939A2 series trucks.

1stdeuce: If you sleep with the devil, you are bound to get burned. Keep dealing with GL and you will definitely get screwed in some manner. For every one person such as yourself that has had a great GL experience, there are dozens that have had terrible experiences. Good luck with your...

I would bet those tires are Michelins, not Firestones. I've never seen a Firestone produced XL tire. The tires are non-directional, but I always mount mine so they are facing the "correct" way.

Most of these trucks have more mileage that we want to believe. Don't ever trust the odometer. There are more important indicators of wear than mileage or hours. Check the seats, the brake pedal, the door hinges, how the truck runs, the condition of the exhaust, etc. I had an M1028 with only...

I agree with HOLE...the less you tell the DMV, the better.

RE: M62A2 JATONKA: I had an M543A2 that whistled pretty well. I don't want to say that it whistled like a deuce with a C motor, but it definitely whistled more than a deuce with a D motor. By the way, above I said the motor was an LDS4651C, I meant to say "1A" as JATONKA has correctly...

Mark, do you positively have to have a canvas cab top? If you can go with a 3 color vinyl cab top, go to GMA Cover Corp (about $183). Otherwise, you could get a canvas cab top from New Life Canvas Resources, Weebee Webbing, Beachwood Canvas, etc.

Yes, the multifuel 5 ton motor is turbo. Most, if not all, are whistlers. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever seen/heard a 5 ton multifuel that was not a whistler.

By the way, I believe the multifuel 5 ton motor is an LDS4651C.

A multifuel wrecker has no power if it has an overdrive transmission. The only way to go IMHO is with the direct drive tranny. Your top road speed will only be 46 mph or so, but at least you'll be able to shift into 5th gear!

Mike, the problem is, the only way it makes sense for me to get Winslow (or you) to pick up the stuff for the M929 is if I can get the M818 hauled north. An M818 is too heavy for your trailer, I believe. N3SQ: PM sent...I see no problem getting your door hauled to MD...assuming I can actually...

By the way, Chris, I am trying to get Winslow to deliver an M818 to my house and also to pick up a set of G177s, a new M939 series hood, a set of NOS dump truck troop seats and a new M939 series hard top for my M929 that is at his place. Maybe, if you can get the motor to my place, we can put...
