The smokin' nice 915 cab I got from Wreckerman's bud Junior needs a new floor mat. I would love to go back original, which is the ribbed rubber with the jute backing. A half hour of Googling did not reveal any sources for this in bulk, and I hesitate to try to find a die-cut original for the...

I guess today was not my day to check out. Thank you Almighty. I was busy removing the boom tip from the P&H M320T 20 ton crane for painting. I was too lazy to start the crane and swing the house around and lower the boom, and there was a giant hornet's nest in the pulleys, and I was too lazy...

Need some help from some of you with factory winches on your 800 series trucks. Trying to mount up a Garwood 20,000 to the front of Sirblissful's M820A2 and ran into a snag. First, looking at the inside the frame pics, do we need to drill out the frame rail and add more bolts where the gray...

Anybody successfully using two group 31 batteries to crank a 250 or 400 Cummins in a 800 series or 915 series truck? Cold weather operation is not a concern.

In light of the tragic James Ruman/Shootiniron accident 7/1/11, I think we should put our collective minds together and design a roll over protective structure (ROPS) for the Deuce and 5 ton that could prevent future fatalities/injuries from rollovers. The design should clamp to the truck...

OK, folks, this is about to drive me nuts. Ordered the O rings from Erik's Surplus, wrong: too small cross section. Went to American Packing and Gasket, the largest O ring house in Houston, don't have them, have to custom manufacture them, none on ebay, none in classifieds, none at Myers...

Defense contractor? OK, sure . . .

Anyone needing previews of items at either Texas Forestry Service (GSA)(Lufkin/Hudson) or Hooks (RRAD) please let me know (PM). I'll be at both locations Monday April 25, Tues 26. Sorry I'm already loaded (RRAD) unless the item is no bigger than a pallet footprint. Will need lot number...

Very interesting items, sold in the $3000 range. Looks like a standard FMTV cab with lots of extras. What could someone do with this? I was thinking mount on a civi forward control chassis and make a movie rental out of it. But I refrained from bidding.

OK, probably no wonder I have to ask about this being as I am "NDT", which way are you supposed to point the tread on the Wrangler MT? The tire does not have an arrow. I just mounted up 4 with no regard to the direction, will this look funny?

Need some advice from those of you who have been down this road. GENSCO here in Houston has some great deals on both the 5 ton bolt together rims used on the 900A1/A2 series trucks and the bolt together HEMTT rims. They seem to have different offsets, by about 3" maybe. Which do I want to use...

Yesterday the Houston ABC affiliate produced a great story about a distinguished local WWII vet. What they did not mention that the vet, now 93 year old Tracy Lawrence, started the military truck surplus business "Houston Truck and Equipment" back in 1947, and was one of the leaders in the...

Take a look at the paint on this Air Force deuce . . . has anyone ever seen this quasi-MERDEC camo on a 1988 year model truck? I know we have all seen the straight 686 tan trucks come from the Air Force, but this 3 color is new to me. This truck if fresh out of service from one of the AF...

OK, I need ya'll opinion on this one. I bought this sad '42 Banjo axle LWB Cargo CCKW for $300. Mainly because it has a complete front axle and transfer case. My question is, should I save the entire truck or not? Here are the stats: Frame not cut, but has been fishplated behind the cab...
