And we reinforce those opinions with our scheduled monthly "What do I do when the anarchy comes?" threads. I say we have enough of them and there shouldn't be any more. They reflect badly on the military vehicle hobby and they take us from protectors and restorers of historically significant...

I don't know why the site software sometimes puts a new ad in that purgatory. I released it for you. C

I have to say, you guys shot some of the best pictures I've seen on any rally after action thread. All of the action shots made me feel like I was there. Looks like you had a great turnout with a lot of neat trucks (I know it isn't military, but I love the GMC Suburban {Carryall?}). What...

I can't do quite that, but I did get $440 for 4600 lbs. of scrap (mostly CUCV) about 5 weeks ago. A $1500 scrap deuce would have to weigh about 17K by those #'s.

Keep in mind that Carnac will likely only be able to provide you with the truck's most recent assignment-insofar as trying to find all the unit's it's served with..... good luck. Try carefully sanding in all the places the service would have put their markings.

So was this ever resolved?

Ditto. Thanks ODw/envy.

Wow, that looks cold. Much thanks for the member assist PF. Great writeup.

I am very proud to have the unit #'s that were on my Dad's Deuce from when he was in the Army '64-'67. :D

M809 series 5 tons, not M44 series 2.5 tons.

It's more of a time issue (early vs. late) than a model issue. Witness the non cargo tie down equipped deuce dropside: Deuce old style Dropside bed - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

I have to say-that is pretty clever. Bravo.

I found it on the www.trkpartcatalog.com website that is now defunct: I had been looking for the rebuild kit for the new, short airpack and upon Hndrson's advice, I called CSI. He said they are out and are at least a month out from getting more (this was in April 2010), but he offered me...

Yes. When a thread does not end with a definitive answer, posters need to bump that thread to the top with something like "Hey guys, I see HndrsonJ posted that Tom at CSI has the new style kits, has anyone used one?" Or actually call Tom and find out, then post your findings. A new thread...

The next time you drive it and you turn the wheel all the way and it starts making the grinding sound, reach down the feel the PTO shift lever. If necessary, apply just enough forward or backward pressure to ensure that the following isn't occurring: When you turn the wheels, the cab and frame...

I suspect originals were bare metal, but that's a guess based on years in the car hobby, not any experience with M35 gassers. I would make sure it is DEAD clean-then coat it with a high temperature paint in either gray or black.

Keep in mind that the link you posted is temporary-I don't know how temporary (3 hours, 3 days, etc.) but eventually the link won't be any good. The results that searches show (what you're linking to) aren't held indefinitely-they are a short term thing). It's similar to how the links for...

He might not, but the forum archives hold all the info you could ever want http://www.steelsoldiers.com/198511-post20.html
