    Extended Throttle control cable

    You talking more than 25'? Can get that at local truck parts store. Long throttle cables are used on pre 1993 fire trucks but 25' typically is all that is required and longest I've purchased. These are bowden style with a locking rotary throttle knob.

    A BRAND NEW M1010 for $14k?!?!?!

    600 gallon aluminum tank on an M105?

    The Army mounted 600gal pods on M105 trailer for mogas until around the late 70s/early 80s. Rolled many as way too top heavy and narrow track. Wrecked a lot of equipment. In early 80s began using bolster trailers (M796 2axle 4t) for mogas pod wagons. A MUCH more satisfactory and safe...

    M1009 is a BEAST off road!

    Can any of you CUCV fans explain the interest in the pickup/Blazers? Not "real" military vehicles, just a so-so old Chevy with a few extras hung on. I don't get it. Typical owner/enthusiast seams to be a non-vet. Perhaps just missed out on driving for Sam so don't know what you missed and...

    so i bought this, what can i do with it?

    Great pump. Navy bastardized late ones with a propane injection system so could start on JP. Used same little size cartridges as the CO2 used in pellet rifles. Engine is an OMC 2 cycle outboard powerhead. Out of business so engine parts are very difficult to find. Go to: Our Unimog U1300L...

    "new" 5 ton for fire dpt

    Guy GET SOME BAFFLES IN THAT TANK. At a minimum. You'd be better off getting a 600gal pod from DOD surplus for the chassis. There is a reason Sam ran Duece TPUs with only one pod. It's not a 5t. A rural FD near me has a 814 (long WB M813) with a 3000gal tank (baffled). Do the math. Not...

    Need Military Tent for Movie shoot, S. Calif

    Unless it's something bashing the military contact any National Guard or Reserve Center. Every unit in the US has tents. Or perhaps see if the local college Army ROTC Cdr will assist with obtaining loan of a tent. Might have his cadets set it up for you. Good learning experience for them.

    M939/A1/A2 ABS vs. Non-ABS Trucks

    Very interesting thread. My M923A1 experience was in 1986/87 as a truck (Support Plt) PL. Brand spanking new. I know we didn't have any of the reverse low range/crack the transfer case or max 40mph w/nondirectional tires or you're gonna wreck. Little NET when we turned in M813 that would...
