three of my M809-series developed the smokeless skip recently (the 813 was missing on at least 4 cyls) after only getting run a few hours a year for the last 3 years and not run down the road. Bad me. Fuel was changed out a couple times a year. A pint of seafoam dumped down the IP feed hose and...

Old thread but wish to add for future searches on the subject: I have a USAF Utica-Bend originally built as a M35, and apparently they made it into their own version of the M602 at some point. The exception on this one is they retained the blackout lighting system, original dash and gauges, and...

Here's a first for me after changing out dozens of NDCC's the last 45 years... Tire was on a former USAF Utica-Bend gasser M35 I might part out, been on there maybe 30 years... The sidewall on one side is in english, the other sidewall is literally Greek to me ! Anyone else seen these or know...

I have personally been on both sides of the equation in two separate incidents. Someday it may happen again,. Belt or no belt, there's always the 50% chance of unluck. There are times I believe in belts, and in certain vehicles/situations no way. No two incidents are 100% alike. And are too...

For future people who stumble across this thread, here's a pic of a track of the era clearly showing wheel color matching what's above it as a virtual continuation of the pattern, as it's supposed to be per the Reg. I realize this is a CUCV category and have learned from all your posts that when...

I have former USAF M35 gasser S/N M41015 , Utica-Bend, late-50's.. Has the military-applied 12-volt system (w/blackout) and a USAF 12V conversion manual with it. It was also converted to a M49C but retains it's M35 nomenclature plate. The cab/chassis has the old air force blue underneath the...

Correct as above, truck is from 131st ENGR Vt Army National Guard. The "LE" stands for "light equipment" company. Your truck is not from "just another guard unit." You should be proud to restore it to it's original markings. This outfit was activated Oct61-Aug62 for the Berlin Crisis. It...

repaired the town's "recovery" damage on the bumper of what used to be their M813, fabbed a new sheet for it's driver floor, and gave the sticky xfer case piston a treat .. then went on to battle nesting bees in several of the rest of the 5-tons🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

some love the whistler noise, and I didn't mind it when I was decades younger .. But now my favorite sound is when that whistler is finally shut down .. thankfully, only one of my trucks has a whistler , and not for long. will be swapping it out for a 1D turbo this summer

glad it was the simple problem ... my M51 has the "almost-impossible-hard-steer-one-way" problem... one of these days I will tear into it, meanwhile it's relegated to off-road work only

that is how one of my friends burned to death.... witnesses said he ran off the road to avoid rear-ending a stopped car blocking his lane on a blind corner on a 55mph road... A witness was in oncoming traffic, said the guy had no choice but swerve off the road. As he did, the idiots blocking...

You have the original (old-style) Ross system.... They can be a bit cantankerous at times. Without digging thru my TM's, if memory serves me right there is no filter on these units other than the fill screen, as you saw... But I do remember the LO's on these trucks with the old-style Ross...

The regional contact info should be on your invoice. If you bought it 3rd party, then I'm sorry to say the name/office on the SF97 is all you have, unless someone out there in your locale (NM) happens to see your post and happens to also have an invoice the GSA emails a buyer. The contact info...

Over the years I have sent several emails, most of them don't go through, are returned "undeliverable" although I use the address indicated from the GSA sender. I also have called, most of what I purchased had the philadelphia office on the paperwork). One of the successful changes I...

GL was usually okay, as well as the DRMO's. However I have had a lot of trouble with GSA in the past several years. ie; 1953 AM-General , 1980's Kaisers , 1970's IHC 5-tons, 1968 AM-General, etc Of course those builders didn't exist in those years. GSA might as well say it's selling 1920 VW...

Sure will be a lot of opinions on one side or the other. In the 80's I worked with a retired town cop, long-gone now. His very- simplistic attitude was that it depended on a lot of things and a 50-50 chance. He had seen death at both sides. I witnessed one where a very young child was strapped...

round dogbone mixed with regular, came here that way preparing for 24" lift kit (imagine that!)

Nice job ! Also first time i've seen factory safeties on dogbones... For many years I've welded 3/8"x 1-1/2" or 2" flat stock onto any dogbones with cracking rubber in my private motor pool... About 40 years ago in my armor unit about seven of us were in convoy at max speed on blacktop in a...

Dunkeye11. , I have a '62 White Motors Utica-Div M49C the military converted to A2. They changed the tag, it says AM General with a 1975 (re)build date. They at least did stamp the original VIN onto the new tag. What bothers me is it's no AM General, and it's no 1975 with its hole in the floor...

got one of the M818's stuck while yanking the stepdeck out of winter storage. Got it free just as GF showed up to help. And then off we went and installed a load of stone on one of the ol' Brush Burners . One of these days if it sits still long enough somebody might be able to...
