Mainly for height reasons, I pulled the military 5th wheel off one of my M931A2s and replaced it with a Fontaine slider from a big truck junkyard. That lowered the nose of my trailers by almost 9", and allows the 5th wheel to move back a bit to accommodate short necked trailers to keep the...

A very Happy Birthday to you, Guyfang!! Cheers (Moose, it's a long story. But I consider them a good thing. ;) )

Probably fuzzy (knobby?) logic, but it seems Kendelrio has this one well in hand, and much as I like all the contestants, I just can't see a truck as nice as ToddJK's get only one vote, so.... Cheers

Check your state law, but free wheeling is illegal in many states, for precisely the reasons mentioned above. Cheers

Definitely pass those wheels on, they are much sought after! Cheers

Accepted! :LOL: Cheers

Is there an advantage to shifting that way? I've always driven my 813 the way the military taught me - clutch in, blip throttle, shift, clutch out Cheers

Good looking truck! One thing to look at is the emergency fuel shutoff. Unlike the deuce, which resets when the handle is pushed back in, the M816/813 etc. have to be manually pushed back into the run mode. A buddy of mine bought an M820 cheap at a police auction because no one, including the...

I'll have to try harder next year. Too many scheduling conflicts this time. :( Cheers

I like the clearance/running lights added to the sides. Cheers

It's unfair for y'all to regularly introduce extra stress into my life - how am I to pick just one vehicle??!!?? Aaaargh!!!! o_O And Kendelrio, I can honestly say I never contemplated the need for a 12' skeleton until recently, now I keep eyeballing the d@&n things and saying "Hmmmm...."...

I'm very impressed with the accuracy of what you are producing. That transmission cover is a very complex shape, but you got it! Here is a comparison of your drawing to a picture of my spare cover. Cheers

Well, now that you mention those, this is my stripped DRASH trailer. ;) Don't know why that one didn't cross my mind with the original question, I suppose because I consider it more of an LMTV trailer than Humvee. I'll have to go measure how long/wide the deck is. I know it is 56" of clear...

It is not unusual for vehicles to change services, either when no longer needed by the original service or when immediately required by another. In the Marines, we usually benefited from other services' cast offs, but in a rare turn of events most of the Marine M35s went to the Army when the...

Nice truck! The Air Force operated M37s (and other tactical vehicles) in both blue and green. Picture from Greenland in 1960. Cheers

Very likely if it was on the side armour. :cautious: Cheers

Y'all sure don't make it easy to pick just one vehicle!! A lot of times it comes down to voting for one of the two that are running close, which seems to happen regularly. There isn't a one of the vehicles in this month's set that I would not have voted for, they are all great! Cheers

A good point, as you can have LEDs and still look period correct with older vehicles, on which the full LED faces just don't look right. Cheers
