I was digging in the bone yard and i found a data palate on a tranny that says 3052-A. Is this the .85 O/D tranny? I need to know before I put the wrench time into pulling it off the motor. I can not turn the shaft easily where it is stacked so I am trying here first.
Thanks for any help...

I was for several years but no longer. I completed the bobbed deuce just in time for the run so I called Eric and got a pass to attend the Buckner event.

Helmet Hard Top
It is an Amtech Helmet Hard Top. I had to pay through the nose for it ($3500) but I "had" to have it. For my application it is perfect for a small (jeep/pickup/hummer) vehicle to drag around to remote camping sites.
Now that I have a CBC on the bobbed deuce, I no longer...
Double wide... Ha!
If I were not from South Texas I probably would not have got the joke... good one.
I am going to photoshop a 101 to better detail what I am talking about.

M-101 cbc
Before I found the M-105 CBC I was going to weld a "catwalk" on each side of the bottom edge of the M-101 trailer bed to make it as wide as an M-105 and put it on a bobbed truck. The extensions will make a great walk-around platform that will let you tie things down to the top of the...
What is next?
I have a helmet hard top for an m-101 that I have camped off of for two years. I am going to move the roof-top-tent to the M-105 CBC and sell the M-101 with shelter.

Really been working hard on this. LOVE the CBC!!!!
I put a rear 45* crossmember out of a deuce behind the pintle on the first M-105 for strength.

Lets do it...
How about the last weekend of this month. I will go down the 30th (fri) and set up. You need to stop by the general store in Matagorda (Stanley's) and buy a beach pass $8 before you get on the beach. Look for a big green tent (25x25) and a big green truck. I will have a pit so...

It is a great time... Need to take a bobbed deuce out there.
The Land Cruiser is a diesel right hand drive truck that I brought in from New Zealand.

mil vehicle
I am sure it is a mil vehicle.

It is made at the GAZ special vehicles plant. Zavolzhsky Crawler Vehicle Plant. They take a minivan (really) and modify it for the tracked carriage. You can even see the steering column that...
Support
Thanks ccequipment. You are exactly right. Attention to detail... It is important to me to fully support the bed with the frame. I could have copied what the factory did with the truck bed but the trailer bed is a different animal. It is not as rigid so it requires full length...
Bobbed conversions
For the good of the group I will photo document fully the next conversion. I will post the progress on this site so do-it-yourselfers can get a better feel for the job. I will include a full tool list, measurements, "tricks I found" and any other relevant info.
I hope...
I am working on my 5th bobbed deuce now and I had a thought that I implemented this past weekend. It worked out so well that I am going to retrofit the other conversions with this feature.
The problem: I wanted to mount a jib crane in the back of a bobbed deuce for lifting generators, 55...
contact info
I have never had anyone pick up the phone when I called the Museum. A have also left voice mail and have yet to get a return call. Someone that is plugged in please give me a call or fwd a cell number to my e-mail. I have several NFA toys and I have set up a table of MGs next to...
