Get your truck going on the road first, so you are familiar with it under normal conditions before you try to take it off-road. Remember - crawl, walk, run! You don't start at the olympics and work your way down. Plan on attending the Denton Farm Park Rally in April. It's not that far from...

SC requires a "Secure Bill of Sale" which has their watermark on it, no watermark = no good - Sorry Charlie (tuna)! Go by a local DMV office, they are free.

Military says 5700 with the BII on board. Stripping all the cooking stuff out will gain you at best 1800 pounds, so you are still at 3900-4000. Putting a 5000 pound axle with smaller tires to lower the whole rig down and add electric brakes should save you another 400-500 pounds (175 each for...

Go a little further south to Tuscon, where you can take the tour of the USAF aircraft graveyard, and Ted's Trucks (on the west side of the runway) somewhere near Google Earth coordinates 32.154178, -110.886251 near as I can remember. Look for the thread using "Teds Trucks, Tuscon" for more info.

That is what the USMC deuces have, a pressurized system which includes the clutch/pressure plate (and a permanently mounted drain plug on the bell housing - no alternate location). I have the remains of one on my M-36.

Probably not since the site now has it's own map that covers at least all the USA. But not everyone here has moved their information to the 'official' map.

My personal opinion is that they will NOT keep water out if placed directly on the axle. However, it they are placed high up on the frame with tubing running down to the axle point, they have a much greater chance of staying dry. How often do you take the truck swimming, how often do you drive...

Disconnecting and replugging can remove corrosion by friction which is causing a poor connection. Remember, the voltages in computer circuits are low and the amperage is minuscule even compared to the voltage. Corrosion you cannot see will stop the flow of electrons from one circuit board to...

At least on this forum he has a better than average probability of finding the correct answer in the multiple responses that will be posted. Whether he can figure out which response is correct is another matter entirely.

I'm in the same boat. Should have some money in Jan, but for now, just moths in the wallet!

Used to be, but he died several years ago. Maybe someone who bought up his parts. Further south is White Owl Parts, in Kinston, NC

Plan for a southern route if possible. Phoenix to I-10, picking up I-20 in west Texas, past Dallas-Ft. Worth on the south side, over big muddy in Vicksburg then up through Birmingham and Atlanta on I-20 to Florence, SC, where you will pick up I-95 to southern Virginia, where I'm sure you can...

Don't wait too long, the 6704's are getting harder and harder to find! And you can only use the 524 on six meters as a HAM operator. There is a thread on modifying the 3900 for use with the CB frequencies. You might be able to do the same thing for 51 MHZ, so it becomes a six meter antenna...

Search for threads on turning up the fuel, usually done one or two 'flats' at a time. A pyrometer is usually recommended between the exhaust and the turbo as the first step (too much fuel= hotter exhaust temps, esp under load) because the pistons will start melting at 1200 degrees F. Have you...

If you want to go fiberglass 'slats', Stefan Wood Products can make up a set for you, probably with all the holes drilled for a deuce. BTW, the metal parts are the same (or at least were on the two that I've seen) on the earlier M-211 and the later M35 series deuces. The dropside beds did have...

Biobore JF will take care of the biological critters - a pint will treat 1200 gallons, and no red dye in your fuel!2cents

Remove your tailgate and let them slide it into the bed of the truck a little further. Since it can be picked up from the side or the end (of the generator) that should get at least part of it over the wheels.

I used a deep well socket, backed by a six inch extension, then a universal joint and another six inch extension, which brought it out through the hole where the brake line attaches, and there I could use the ratchet wrench. YMMV.

Contact Adam (Ferroequinologist) , or MrTravo via PM. They can probably help you get it off base to a safe location where pickup will not be so rushed.

In addition, the TM Number can be further defined by what type of equipment it is (1 = aircraft, 9 = generally vehicles, but includes other items, 10= quartermaster items, etc.) then further broken down by the four digit number that follows. That four digit number is the Federal Supply Category...
