    Hallo aus Deutschland

    If I understand --you want to confirm size/type of brake line threads? Where it connects to the wheel cylinders?

    Thimbles vs Wheel Nuts

    I am not 100% certain but, I believe the lug nut on the 2nd (outer) wheel acts like a jam nut to lock the thimble in place and keep it from backing off the inner wheel stud. Kind of a package deal. I would imagine many more folks here are more knowledgeable than I on this subject. Why the...

    Hallo aus Deutschland

    Howdy and welcome from Colorado USA. If you have the Technical Manuals (TM) for the Gama Goat you should be able to look up the part numbers in military format. Several suppliers or vendors that advertise here will likely carry what you are looking for. If not you can probably probably place...

    How many "OLD" guy's are just getting in to a LMTV ?

    Probably the best life "extender" is having something in your life that makes you think, challenges you and feeds a passion. At least that is my experience at 65. Its great to go to the workshop and be able to choose what to play with today. I think if I did not have that I would find it hard...

    War Wagon

    I would love to go to an event but I am in the middle of some work on it and trying to build a barn. Summers are short up here so I have to hustle while I can. Definitely would like to come up to see yours.

    Front spring "U" bolts.

    yup. Anything underneath usually gets a pretty good coat of rust. Still seems like it has advantages over the original design.

    Front spring "U" bolts.

    No personal experience with this particular problem but the way Rusty Stud described it, the spring setup has one u bolt on one side of the spring and then two bolts going into the "pumpkin" to hold the other side down. on the pumpkin side the two bolts go into a blind hole in the pumpkin that...

    Back from the dead 5 ton gasser at work

    Great to see it earning its keep. Built simple and tough. Hydro steering upgrade in her future?

    1941 dukw

    Still a pretty cool vehicle and all of the green iron will keep you busy. Sounds like your set up to tow anyways. Changing engines will give you a good shot to inspect, lube r&r other things as well. If it ran it might be too tempting to road it before you went thru it thoroughly. Keep us...

    Bobbed Deuce 5th wheel install

    From the photo it looks like you have an auxiliary radiator behind the cab. Oil cooler? Does it work well? I suppose the fifth wheel sits just below the frame rails so you can drop the bed back on when needed. Rusty Stud has a good point. That location might also affect the trailer kicking...

    Front spring "U" bolts.

    Good catch Rusty Stud! The stud suggestion sounds pretty smart too! Hmmm-theres a joke in there somewhere!

    New Guy from NV - Hello everyone

    Howdy and welcome from Colorado. In terms of preserving things I suppose the desert is a lot better then the coast. But the heat/cold/sun can still do some damage. Looks good though and they are pretty tough, easy to work on!
