    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    I spent some time researching the state government here and it seems that once a bill becomes law then a different set of issues also comes up. It then passes to any agency that is tasked with enforcement of said law. The directors or executives of that branch of government must then make...

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    Sgt Maj Harper and Gama Goat 1--Do we know the name and title of the Department head at the Colorado Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicles, that issued this Memo to all of the county clerks? Perhaps we need to discuss this with that persons manager/superior, perhaps even go to the governor?

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    Mann 650--can you provide a list of names and addresses for those folks you believe can make a difference? Perhaps we can do a "grass roots" effort to change the states mind. Assuming that I can even openly ask this question in this forum. If not, a PM would be appreciated.

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    Thank you Gama Goat 1. So if no military vehicle is to be titled and registered for on highway use how will all the fire departments, rescue and police tag there surplus equipment for on road? Will they all have to get rid of them? Will there be a fire sale in Colorado from all the police...

    REO M275 truck tractor

    Your sewing reminds me of my dad. He had training as a parachute rigger during WW11. He made canvas patches to our tents just like this when I was a kid. Those old Singers just keep on going and tough as heck. Thanks and good work!

    Thinking about getting a M275 have some questions.

    My take is that in the time of these vehicles, if it had no winch on the front, the headlights were mounted low and the upper position was for an electric horn on the right side with the small military " low light output" lamp on the upper left side. If it did have a winch, which was somewhat...

    11R20 dual question

    I presume you are asking about possible failure of a radial tire if its used to running in one direction for thousands of miles and then rotating it in the opposite direction for possibly thousands of additional miles. While bias ply (NDCC etc) tires likely would not have a problem with this...

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    It appears to be refining the definition of the terms "Historic Military Vehicle" and "Surplus Military Vehicle" as to the ability to legally operate it on Highway or restrict that vehicle to off highway use. It is confusing as it also has some sort of exemption for HMMWV. It appears to me...

    Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Take your time and enjoy everything about the truck. Echoing what others have said, include the family, it will pay dividends. before and after documentation/photos are always a plus.

    was the m48 gas only or did some eventually get the multi-fuel diesel?

    M275a2 Question

    In the cab is a trolly brake mainly used during hooking and unhooking the trailer. The activation is from lever on a long stalk, off the steering column. definitely not to be used as a parking brake with the engine off. the "air line" hook ups for a towed trailer via the pintle and another...
