    NAPA part numbers for WMO filter set up.

    Subscribed. Great thread..now I think I know what to do with all that contaminated diesel out of my M52A2 primary tank.. It was so bad, a chunk of asphalt came out while I was cleaning it. Right now...about 35-40 gallons of oil/diesel/dirt/gack is just plain nasty, no water thank goodness...

    Insurance situation is crazy!

    I wish they had that here in WY. State law prohibits that type of policy as near as I can tell for the big trucks. My M1009 and 64 Corvair can get the same policy you have. M1009 is my spare driver so it has to have a standard plicy and the Corvair is patiently waiting in the garage for a...

    Insurance situation is crazy!

    All of my MVs are insured with State Farm. It is a state by state company. What works here in Wyoming, won't work where some of you are. All my 2 1/2 tons and 5 ton are commercial policies but are less than 200 every 6 months. On the other hand all but the 5 ton and M1009 are Pioneer...

    Short Notice in Cheyenne

    Well the show was very impressive. Lots of custom cars, trucks, bikes, just plain WOW. But there was only two MVs there; my '72 AmGen M35A2 WO/W and a friends 1942 Dodge Ambulance. Both of us went to just have fun. With all the glitter around, we kinda stuck out like a couple sore thumbs...

    Question about base security for loadout

    Last time I was at Cherry Point (sometime in 2005) was for a very specific reason: a mishap investigation where i had the privelage of using and breaking their turbine engine test cell...long story, very embarassing. Any way, things to see: if you find you want some piece of uniform that you...

    What are these???

    DOH!!!aua auaauaaua I set myself up for that one. Now if only it were true. Got all the equipment to weld almost anything and no clue on how to use it. And to top it off, the local college doesn't give welding classes. One of these days I'll get brave and try it out. Watch for the mushroom...

    2012 vin info thread

    There is an offcial website for most, if not all, military organizations. The Army has a Heritage organization that's name escapes me for the moment but anyway, they have everything about every unit in the Army that hs been submitted to them. There's also pages on the web (unofficial) where unit...

    What 13K$ In LED Tail Lights Looks Like.

    Here's a pic of my backup camera. Doesn't do low light/FLIR but it does help me line up with the trailer. The black thingy is the camera with a magnet base (uses a 9 volt battery) and the silver thing is the receiver/screen, which plugs into the cigar/aux plug in the cab. Mount the camera...

    M-52 Recovery

    I live in SE Wyoming. What's a tree?:lol: Not much else out here either. Maybe if I could catch a herd of antelopes, I could leash them up and spook them.. Only problem I see is getting them to stop....

    M-52 Recovery

    Very good ideas! Unfortunately, that project is a bit above my capabilities. Trailers are few and far between in this neck of the woods, especially that size and type. Getting the tank off the truck will take a pretty big hoist, which I don't have access to for such a project. As far as the...

    M-52 Recovery

    The winch is going on one of my M-35s; it's only a 10K hoist. The M52, as near as I can find out, used a 20K winch.. The M52's data plate indicates it was originally WO/W. I'm looking at two possibilities: 1. find the original or nearly original 5th wheel, skid plates and assorted stuff to...

    M-52 Recovery

    Update: Truck is a 1966 Diamond T based on physical evidence located on the truck. For reasons unknown, the records Carnac has are slightly different, and the title issued by the state based on the paper work received from the Government at the time of sale is utterly confusing. Since the...

    Uses for Deuces

    I can hear the groaning all the way over here in WY! Kinda gives you an idea what a low rider Deuce looks like...not a pretty picture :oops:! Makes me wonder...All the deuces I've seen have only one set of springs. My XM-211 has 2 sets of springs on each side. Sort of like a super duty...
