At least around my neck of the woods you can still find. I can throw a rock and hit one in a 70 Chevrolet truck with 3 treed. Most that are left are abandoned on old farms out of sight. And there are 292 specific parts that need to be found also to be used where a V8 once resided, auto or stick.

Free? Maybe use for a pattern to make out of another material. In the crunch of developing add on armor in the field I have heard from my Nephews that a lot of scrap materials were used to give any type of protection from just small arms fire. He went on to say that windows were not even...

Sound Advise, the sleeves can save a bad wear surface or "prevent" one from happening. The problem with the sleeve is that the seal is tolerance made for original size. However the seal if need be can always be replaced at a shorter interval as needed.

I still see them, look at full size Chevrolet cars from the mid 60's on to 1 ton, 2 ton trucks and I seen one transplanted into a 85 S10 in a salvage yard a few months ago. Talk about tight fit, core support cut out, firewall hammered back. 292's were placed into trucks into the mid 80's. I do...

Supply and demand. I will not gage by cost so much as availability of replacement parts, and quality of product. The HMMWV is available in increasing numbers. The prices I believe are artificially inflated still. I will try and purchase more than one truck, as to have extra parts when needed...

I also like to add that looking up into the bolt hole to make certain that no grease has been accumulating inside hole so that bolt can not bottom out, causing a twist off. When is the last time anyone has checked that? I know that I was guilty once, once. Any blind hole I will pick out to make...

The knurled section of the starter bolt countersinks into the block starter bolt hole to clearance itself to create a non tolerance fit. That it is why new bolts should be used when replacing starter. Starter clearancing are very tight new, however the mounting surfaces on used rebuilt starters...

It really is to bad that when caught they should be kneecapped. Thanks for being diligent about scammers.

Very nice GPW. The few that I have seen being in the Midwest, have been completely gray. Back in the 60's I seen one that was painted yellow over gray that I thought was really strange. If I remember right it was used as a CD vehicle?

One thing about Detroit Diesels, they are easy to work on and maintain once you understand the basics of operation. They are dependable and as long as you keep the fuel system tight, airless. Start and operate on a monthly schedule to keep seals pliable and that will reduce repairs also. Taking...

What is surprising to me is that they are not demilling or crushing the units after the safety problems involved. It would be of interest to give out the information rather than the vehicle being altered and then either improving or making the stability problem worse. I would think that their...

I would try and source some of the electrical switches, sensors, relays. But economically it would very well make sense to use as many common parts as possible on any assembly. But after the units were sold the one common request was for an assembly manual. Why is that? The TM's would make...

There was a give, pay it foreward of a 1009 tailgate that had a tire mount bracket bolted to it. I believe I seen it yesterday? It does seem like a lot of weight to hang on the tailgate? Its in parts for sale cucv 1009 tailgate free to good home its in VA has pictures

Floyd41, seems that you have been testing the waters for some time?:whistle:

Welcome from Missouri to Steel Soldiers Afterburn!

Extra parts? Well for now my guess and simplest would be to buy another and have a near complete parts source. Not very many built, no support for parts even tho the military has to have something in a warehouse somewhere. For now the 1161 will be sold until supply is exhausted. Then I would...

When the blower does work, does the blower motor fan speed control work? When passing time on the site I will search different topics that interest me to use the different search features. And then when in need using the features become easier to use. Some times just forming the question...

Welcome from SE Missouri! How well does the flathead run? It is Great to see and hear that some of the forgotten equipment is being used again. I cant wait to see a picture of the 58.

On a positive note you didn't find any plastic bags. Clean everything you can, and again, now if you feel it necessary. I would check each section of the fuel system as you are cleaning to verify that that section or component is clean. I would replace any flexible lines now as age and...

And the "Duty Roster" continues to Grow! :beer:
