Nice, very clean. Uncut grille and dash. A bonus of not having the blackout lighting kit

It's likely that no line companies ever had them. Usually it's the BN-HQ or HHC company that fields the fuel trucks. The last armor battalion I was in had about 40 gas-powered vehicles left by the mid-1980's, in the form of M151's, M880's, M886's, about seven gas deuces and about ten gas...

I can not and will not dispute the above quote, I do believe it. However, my last unit did not receive new CUCV's thus I never saw them new. The mission was changing and Soviet threat waning at the time. My particular armored division was deactivated and the battalions reassigned to an...

There are a couple possible scenarios involving your question: If you want to convert your whole vehicle to 12V, you will be money ahead to put a civilian 12V starter on it instead of trying to convert the 24V starter to 12V. That's IF there is even one that fits that engine. I don't...

I'm going to answer with more information than you asked for, since this question may involve 3 different camo scheme "eras." In general, regardless of the era, wheel rims were painted as an extension of the largest color shade appearing on the body above it. This practice goes back to the...

nice. I used to be detoured across that bridge once in awhile a few years ago when hauling asia-bound 40ft containers of hardwood to Port Newark from the Catskill Mountains

VT Rt22A truck stop, both of us pulling off the fuel rack .. edit: early sep19

M818 w/dump trailer catching up to employee with my other dump trailer . Just great, coming into yet another hill

Don't know what to say about this one. Truck Stop 101, what not to do in front of a M818 w/ D6 on trailer. No, there is something under those pants. Yes, I was tempted to get out and kick.

Haven't seen any mentions in this or other threads about the Anderson Brass Co. They made valves for the M809-series. They do sell the complete valves, and many of other designs. They also can provide you with the small internal parts. A couple years ago I needed a couple new stop-washers, the...

being of a tapered brass design, it may have been tapped with a hammer at some point, or some other tool dropped on it, or even a boot heel. Or dropped on its head. Or easier still, with the lack of sulphur and other lubes in today's fuel, any taper valve can seize just by pushing down on it...

wish you the best of luck , I have put together some projects I was glad that I did, and some projects I shoulda just parted out . your truck looks very clean and we all know how well-built they are.. That M816 should be well-worth your efforts. You will be happy with its capacity. I used to...

If anyone is looking for new NDCC military tread 900x16's (or other military tread sizes) try miller tire in OH . They used to carry the 900's. Don't know about now but they also had jeep thru deuce sizes, 1940's sizes and newer. They also bring your tires for free to any "local" antique truck...

Until about 12 years ago I used to buy a product called "Real Lead" and it was also a 104+ octane boost. It had actual TCL(sp?) in it and it really did bring back the gray color inside the exhaust pipes. At the time it came in quart cans , 5 gallon pails, and 55gal drums . A bit pricey but was...

above answers are correct, and also add to your checklist to remove the retainers to unplug the blocks on the firewall driver side. The heaviest connection in there leads to the amp gauge and feeds the whole system. I have seen this connection corroded, or overheated and spread loose, or...

I see your 5th wheel still has the adjusting wedges. They are the long narrow odd-shaped things sliding underneath from the front. They are held by one large hex bolt each, if I remember right they are either 1' hex or 1-1/16" on a deuce but I only have 5T tracs here. Yours appear NOT to be...
