I love my truck and my tow dog. Thanks for the thread! Love bull Mastiff's too!!

Great to see that there are a few still around and in driving condition. Thanks for saving it. And thanks for the pictures!

Love them Chinooks. Two burnin and two churnin.

Do you have a bumper step out of sight? looks like quite a first step to get up there, at least for my scrawny legs. Looks like ditch lights just behind the cab at the bottom of the bed. Or is that more of a work light?

So--are you thinking you will add vents or keep it original? Can you add pics please so we can see what the axles look like? Did you pull the wheels and drums to see what shape the seals were in?

Very professional job. I like how you cut out around the other mounting tabs and the access door. Even spacing between panels. more room to stand on the bumper without your toes getting caught up or slipping off is a real plus. I always like your builds.

Was this one of the trucks that been thru a radiation/chem hazard test? Seems there were a couple that had to go thru an extremely long duration for this.

It will look great I think. 2 x 6 or similar? I saw one that had been modified at some point in its life and it had a steel deck. So I thought this was perhaps the way they came. Kind of like the sides of a deuce bed were just cut off. I assume this will have parade duty mostly? Any place...

sounds like something might be clogging the fuel supply. perhaps a sediment clogging the outlet from the tank or somewhere just before the fuel filter perhaps. my .02

Not sure if this was asked before, my apologies if so. What are your plans for the bed--steel plate, diamond tread, wood, some combination of materials. not sure but I think the original what just flat steel plate. This is a great looking truck. Hats off for saving and the wonderful job...

I had a similar problem. You might try taking the "bent" brace and changing which end attaches to the mirror arm. Also. make sure you stack the arms where it attaches to the mirror bracket the same way on both sides if you have not already. Best of luck and gentle persuasion as Army Truck has...

Love that truck! Can't wait to see her fully finished. Thanks for preserving such a great piece of military history. All the details and all your hard work--awesome!

Never a truer word was said. I like to think you save your best last story for the big man upstairs. He knows you took a few chances, really lived, learned, shared and had a good time.

Thank a Veteran!

I wonder why they call them screw driver type? I always thought the slot on top was to use as a core deflate/removal/install tool. I suppose the slot on this type is big enough to get a screw driver in. I know the kind you get from tire shops typically are pretty flimsy in that regard. In...

Hi savagebrother and welcome. You might check out the new member section http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forumdisplay.php?35-Requirements-For-New-Members. It will help introduce you to everyone. As to your problem, if it was me I would look at the idle setting on the carb. then probably look...

A ferry ride??---looks to be more of an ocean voyage. By the way, Echuca seems like a beautiful place to live from what I saw on the interweb. Did the transportation cost more than the Goat? Great recovery!

I have seen various parts for it on e bay and bought some myself. Leaking brake wheel cylinders is relatively common(at the wheel). rebuild kits available as well as new cylinders. Also master cylinders and the air packs. Hoses that run from the frame mount to the wheels. all pretty...

Howdy and Welcome from Colorado! Brakes may not be too hard to fix. If all the parts are there, kits to rebuild the system are readily available. Very interesting truck. Good save mate!

20" by 7.5" deuce rims without the lock ring. However, if you happen to have some extra 5 ton truck rims of the 20" 10 lug bud wheels flavor, the lock rings will fit them. There has been some variation in the size/design of the lightening holes over the years. If you look closely at the rims...
