Gunfreak you have a very nice looking project truck and the fact that it runs and drives makes it all that much better! I know you want to get all the stuff done so it pure driving, but patient and take your time one thing about these trucks and the reason they give so many years of enjoyment...

PLYM 49 I would be all over this to give you a hand if needed but you on the wrong side of the country! Safe travels and sounds like your pretty well set!

You may want to look at a 1084 instead its 6 wheel drive and you will have the payload that will more than be adequate and I doubt there is a big price difference. One thing you can ask on this site is availability of cab replacement parts simple parts like door handles, window cranks...

I did not see a reply to your question but YES that is what you need to do, clean up the cable once its out and re-lube with light lithium grease just a decent reasonable amount and reinstall that will likely take care of the problem but if it doesnt then you will have to replace the cable!

Looks pretty sharp I have no problem with a single color Deuce I did mine the same way!

My 939 had foam type stuff under the hood when I bought it and it was not secure at all, it used those nail looking things with the big washer retainers I tore it all out and have never replaced it. I live in ND and it did not seem to make any difference what so ever in how the truck ran summer...

ZTR mower are truly the greatest but they sure dont take a lot to get them stuck! Been there done that a few times!

Idmack you have a couple options here there are a number of companies that make like a rust encapsulator (for lack of a better term) the one O have used if POR15 and Eastwood also makes on that I have not used but if it says Eastwood its probably pretty good also. I know the POR15 has to be...

Rollingthunder thee are a number of products out there that claim they do exactly what your wanting, I have no idea if they work or not? My suggestion would be to run the engine so its fully up to temp (from driving) and just pull the plug and dump the oil while its hot (OF COURSE BEING VERY...

Some info that may help you is I had an S-280 comm shelter in the back of my Deuce at one time and they had both AC/Heat units in a framework over top the cab I do not remember what the actual clearance was but I would think you could look that up somewhere!

You know another way to accomplish this would be to strip the body off the new truck and if need shorten the frame and just mount the M37 body onto the new frame and drive train!

You want a "CAPABLE" military truck that can run through DEEP snow without ever having to touch a set of chains, one that is capable of hauling anything that you want to haul, capable of pulling just about anything that you can hook behind it, capable of loading itself with its built onboard...

This is the kind of thing I like a good trailer for or best of all solutions is pay a little to have it on someone elses trailer and they take care of all the driving etc. its a small pickup I would bet it wouldn't cost much!

Congrats on the new rig! it looks to be in very reasonable condition pretty much just a VERY GOOD cleaning and some touch up! Looks to be a very good truck for you!

Hey guys I know this is a very old thread but thought to give it a try anyway. I am restoring a 50 Power Wagon and stripped the PTO assembly off it this weekend tore it all apart cleaning powder coated the case etc. and was ready to put my new seal kit into it and its not very close to what is...

You dont cool your trucks engine by shutting it off! If anything that can be very hard on the turbo because of no oil pressure ie. oil flow to the turbo. Next time you want to cool your truck off just let it idle for 5 minutes then you are keeping the cooling system active in its job, cooling...

I have a Unimog and I know there are some Mercedes truck dealers in the US I would make a phone call to one of them and ask your questions and if they are willing to help I would buy my parts from them, its not like your never going to need anymore parts!

crazyguy your title sounds like the start of a very bad story! Think this through and get some help, I dont want your next post to be the REST of that bad story!

I am glad your OK after that and I totally agree with the other comments its just a vehicle and it can be repaired with a little effort, the important piece made out out OK!!!

Congrats on the new truck the 939 series are very nice easy to drive trucks and the noise in the cab is seriously about 1/4 the noise in a Deuce cab. Like was said check ALL the fluids and lubes make sure that you have a jack capable of lifting what needs lifting and DUCT tape its a rag top...
