    M1028a3?

    I will say that I *suspect* there are not likely any factory versions, but I don't deal in certainties with these things anymore. Many people think that all M1028A1's were conversions, but I have a pic of a factory dataplate showing otherwise. I've not yet seen any factory pics of either an...

    M125-A1 Cargo Truck Cummins V8 300 Powered

    While digging, I also re-found this book. Doesn't have the A1 diesel, but had the standard gasser model.

    M125-A1 Cargo Truck Cummins V8 300 Powered

    Cool! I'm glad that truck went to good home!! If I'd had one more beer that Friday night, I might have hit the buy it now myself! :D I've got a US Army color pic of that truck around here somewhere that I'll try to dig out and post up.

    Odd M1028 bed

    M1028 dually trucks would have Dana 70HD rear with detroit locker and sway bar setup, which I can't tell for sure, but it looks right. The rear has longer lugs to accomodate the approx 1/2-5/8" spacers that were used between the rear wheels on each side. The spacers allowed running 235/85R16...

    All Military Vehicles banned from road in Maryland

    Agreed. I've had plenty of SF-97s (as many of us have over the years) and NONE have ever had OFF-ROAD ONLY restrictions. The only ones I know of with that restrictions were for HMMWVs (as is the case for the SF-97 shown in their bulletin). The washing of HMMWV titles to circumvent this...

    2019 Red Ball Military Show / Swap meet Gilbert Pa Sept 27-28

    Looking forward to the show. I have not been able to attend in several years. I have the following that I can deliver to the show free of charge. All parts are New/NOS unless otherwise specified. I will be at the show on both Friday and Saturday: - M103A3 Power Plant / Genset trailer cover...

    M1028A3 new project

    That is a cool truck. I vaguely remember a similar truck coming out of Meade many moons ago, but it was not the exact same shelter. Several also came out without shelters, but with only the angled fenders over the dual rear wheels. Once you get it home, I'd be curious to see the data plate...

    Who, if anybody, is going to Aberdeen this year?

    Unfortunately, a change in jobs forced me to pick and choose vacation days this year. With the National show in York this year, I gave that priority. Combining that with some other obligations has forced me to forego buying any spaces this year. I hope the weather holds out and the crowd is...

    R.I.P.--73M819--Ron Harris

    Very sad to hear of this. It sucks losing another member and lover of big green iron. I never met Ron personally, but he was always willing to help whenever I had a question that I figured he would know the answer to. Even though he was outwardly not very fond of my favorite series of...

    45th Annual East Coast Military Vehicle Rally Militaria Flea Market 10-12 May 2018

    I sure won't argue with those points. That is poor management... I took damage to my stuff on Thursday night. I basically made the same statement today: "Had I been able to properly tie down my tent, it would not have blown over and gotten torn up". That is the one aspect I left out of my...

    45th Annual East Coast Military Vehicle Rally Militaria Flea Market 10-12 May 2018

    Very true. But, there was plenty of money being spent, from what I saw. Personally, I think the decline in attendance can be attributed to several things over the years: - Weather. Cold and rainy, hot, hot and rainy... Luck of the draw. Cannot control it, so I don't worry about it. -...

    45th Annual East Coast Military Vehicle Rally Militaria Flea Market 10-12 May 2018

    Huh? What show were you at??? There could have been more vendors, for sure, but every vendor I talked to was very happy about the turn-out, especially on Friday. There were a lot of people there on Friday.

    Lance, we can just square up at the show. Thanks!

    45th Annual East Coast Military Vehicle Rally Militaria Flea Market 10-12 May 2018

    I'll be there all three days. Not sure what I will have time to load as I am travelling for work M-W next week. I've got a few NOS M101A3 landing legs left. If someone wants one at the show, let me know and I'll bring it. Comes with a repro handle - $120. Some miscellaneous NHC-250 parts...

    M819 swivel mystery electrical part?

    OK, that makes sense. It was rainy and getting late and I wasn't even thinking about where the voltage for the lights would come from (not that they were hooked up, but it makes perfect sense). So, after messing around with it, it appears to leak fluid when the boom hits the stop after getting...

    M819 swivel mystery electrical part?

    Can any of you guys tell me what this marvelous little mystery part is/does? The dotted line part inside the red circle. I have not dug through every page of every manual yet, but I thought it was interesting that this is the only part on this drawing in the -34P without a number. Even the...

    CUCV M1010 Newbie here

    Be careful of this situation... One alternator running @ 24V to charge both may sound OK, but with all of the regular lighting and wiring systems pulling 12V from one battery, it will lead to ruined batteries in short order, especially as a daily driver.

    Louisiana - State Asking for NHTSA sticker for deuce titled and registered in 2009

    The problem for folks that have legitimate "on-road" paperwork for HMMWVs is that so many people have now knowingly gone to the effort to fraudulently eliminate the ORUO on their titles, the DMVs cannot determine which ones did or did not have the restriction in the first place. So, they are...
