I've paid $75 a side for fiberglass troop seats. Of course that was some years back when Richard Green was still alive. Man, he was a great guy and had everything for the deuces...a true loss for the hobby. I'd say that $50-75 ought to get you some troop seats.

Let's see some pictures and a price would be helpful.

RE: belts Thanks for the explanation, Blake!

Cool truck, Steve. Good luck with it! The reason the truck looks like a child painted it is because it has the older 4 color camo and units were told to simply touch up the paint until it went in for an overhaul (and would have received the newer 3 color camo). This means that it has been...

I have never participated, but would love to one of these years. The only problem I've had with the convoy is that it puts you at the show so late on Thursday...the best day IMHO for buying stuff.

What about the water pump as Mike mentioned? I lost the alternator belt on a deuce while driving it without my knowing it and the temperature shot up rapidly. That was the only tip that something was amiss. Needless to say that my trip was cut short until I found a NAPA to replace the belts.

...who will be at th Aberdeen show on Wednesday? Thanks!

Check with WESTFOLK in PA. I bet he's got some for sale.

Bob, let me know if you want the one that is on my M929. I can't get it for you this week because it is currently on my M929. As I believe I mentioned to you, it is fairly nice, but has a small rust hole in one corner. Deliver the hood to me and it is yours!

Anyone driving by Pittsburgh that can pick up an M939 series hood?

RE: Photos in Auction don FMJ: Yeah, I had the pics and could have proved that the damage happened after I bid on and won the trucks, but I was not sure that GL would have done anything for me except allow me to back out of the bid. I definitely wanted the trucks as they are near fresh...

Bjorn: I doubt you'll find one surplus, although you'd think there would be one out there some where. If you can give them the old remains and measurements, a place like Beachwood Canvas can replicate your old top. Same goes for WeeBee Webbing and New Life Canvas Resources.

RE: Photos in Auction don Yes, I've heard of this happening. I have also picked up a truck with damage that was not shown in the pics. Both hoods on the M814s that I recently picked up had been damaged, but the trucks were not damaged until after I had won them and they needed to move them.

How much are the dump troop seats, are they wood or fiberglass and what kind of shape are they in? Others on this list might be interested if you are not.

The biggest mistake you made was bringing it back to him. I would have said, "You just changed the deal and now I don't want the truck. You've got two hours to get it out of here."

RE: Just let us know were we will be I am located in S/R 4-9 in the yellow section. N3UKA, CUCVFAN, BUILDER77, and MADDAWG will all be with me. The SS crowd is all around my location, although I don't know the exact spots.

I actually like the non-overdrive transmissions mated with the multifuel in a 5 ton. While your road speed suffers a bit like VTDEUCEDRIVER said above, you've got plenty of torque throw out all five gears...at least that was my experience with my old 1967 M543A2.

Mike, check one of the old 6TLs. There should be a sticker on each on saying how many CCAs are put out by each battery. My recommendation is to stick with that #.

Hmmm...you learn something new everyday. I have been calling the CDR valve a PCV valve since I bought my first M1009 years ago.

I have towed an M105 with a Blazer when no other option was available. I, too, would recommend using a truck with lower gearing if possible, but the truck can pull it safely IMHO. I preferred using my old M1028 for such jobs. The worst thing about using the M1009 is the M105 slopes down...
