Make sure you bring extra fuel filters with you, especially the little in-line filter, assuming your truck is so equipped. Most of the A2s I've owned at the little in-line filter, but one or two had the m809 series filter retrofitted. Good luck.

Mac Motors in PA will have them. I am unsure, but you might have to have a part #.

Keith, I hope you are well. When I saw this thread, I was hoping you were moving back. But, I know how much you love Montana!

Welcome to the site!

Let me know when you are doing it; I may be able to come over on a Saturday to give you a hand. You are not far from me.

NDT is correct. I've rebuilt a set of troop seats once. After all of the work, not to mention cost, I decided it is better to buy them. I used to get mine from Rich Greene in PA and John Winslow in NC. Unfortunately, both have passed away.

Another option would be to check with Fastenal to see if they can handle it. I've used them before and I've been very satisfied.

That is the transfer case lever. The lever that engages the front axle is in the second picture you attached (below and to the right of the light switch). Regarding the headlights, there is a button on the floor to the left as you are sitting in the driver's seat that turns on and off the high...

Freightliner made an M917A1/A2 for the military, but they are hard to find and will be very costly IF you can find one. I'd plan to spend at least $30K for one, but almost certainly more.

Thanks, dad.

The rocking when you come to a stop is normal.

Thanks! Can you paint the stuff to order for extra $$$? I would think that green would sell better than black.

Any pictures to share so we can see how close to OEM they are? Thanks.

Looks like a USN Seabees truck. Pretty cool find!

Years ago, I was told by GovLiquidation that they were supposed to obliterate all military markings on vehicles before they left the yard. Obviously, they didn't always do it...and it has been hit and miss since. I showed up to a GL site to pick up a trailer with a pristene M1028 that had "US...

It means that it was painted with CARC paint in 2010.

John Murray (TNJ Murray in Dover, DE) has a complete ambulance body. Give him a call.

One more point...those four ton jack stands that are marked as such do not specify anywhere on them that the four tons corresponds to the rating of the pair. It was on the paperwork I received when I originally bought them. Making it even worse is that I only have one at this time. The other...

I am glad you pointed out the mandate in 2015. I had no idea about that. I will add that I have a pair of heavy duty jack stands that I bought 25 years or so ago that were rated in pairs, too. I am unsure when they started that. My big point was that a person needs to consider that they...

One other point...most jack stand ratings are for the pair. Keep that in mind.
