Sssssssshhhhhhh..............!!!!!

Some people here have wives that read this site! We don't want them to hear things like that!

I need all these trucks/trailers! Um....the doctor says I need...

They are a little hard to find for some reason. Here is the link:

Have a few trailers sitting around.

Two MKT's, M840 dolly set, M989, M116 Hydraulic Tool Trailer, M116 Pioneer Tool Trailer, M104 Water Buffalo, 1950's M100 trailer, etc

Then...

Was looking at this as well as it would be nice to have a tach in the trucks.

Found this thread from another forum which has a bit of info:...

Thought I would post some pics of a truck I found at a local place for sale.

Is a 1983 Suburban, 1.25ton, 4x4, gasser. And was a military truck which is real odd as I had never heard of one up...

No problem. Glad I could be of some help. I really hate these places that sell manuals like this. Now if it was something that they put together themselves, that would be one thing, but they just...

Looks like a good start :beer:

That is pretty much the problem. As neat as they are, the covers have a very small market. Only people in the cold area's of the country would want them, and even then only a few of those people...

We had a hiab crane on a deuce. Was nice having the controls on the ground, but even then you needed a second person. For as anyone who has used a crane knows that the second you let it go it starts...

Was just on their website looking around and they state that for the metal plates, they are not really made for outdoor use, yet are "scratch, heat and chemical resistant". Does your plate look like...

Awesome. I have been looking for someone like this for a while. I have data plates from Canadian trucks that need replacing, but it is pretty much impossible to find them anywhere.

Price sounds...

That was no little accident for sure. I don't think a new bumper and coat of paint would have fixed it sadly.

I am sure you were not happy to hear about the old girl being totaled, but at least no...

From everything I have been told, it is another "feel good law". Meaning that it was made to make people think/feel that they are safe, but doesn't really help all that much.

Maybe in a low-speed...

I have read through a two dozen threads about adding pictures, but they all talk about using the "manage attachments" where you upload pics and they are attached to the end of the post.

But I have...

Nice. Good for you. Looks like a good project.

We have one too. They are neat vehicles.

Like Mike stated, you are going to find it a bit hard to get one for a decent price at the moment. Seems in the last couple of years almost everyone has decided to make a camper out of one which has...

As you can see, it can hold a lot of people.

They are nice trucks. Seen them in person a few times.

Some pics of the last group I found parked in a back lot.

Canadian military is using them in the mean time as a replacement for the MLVW...

Yup that is the link to the file on our website.

You can also click the link at the bottom of the MLVW (CDN M35) page: MilitaryTrucks.ca - MLVW Medium Logistics Vehicle Wheeled Truck

I have...

I have seen people pay $8,500 for a non restored truck before.

I have also seen a lot of people refuse to pay more than $3,000 for one too.

Like wreckerman said, it depends on the buyer. Is...

We had a problem with them recently as well. Ordered some parts for our 5ton. 3.5 weeks go by and nothing arrives. Gave it lots of time just in case. Sent 2 emails, no answer. Called 4 times and no...

Can't see why it would be an issue driving it across the border up here. As long as you have the truck legally registered and have insurance you are good to go. Lots of us up here drive them around...

By law we had to install clearance lights all over the M109, so they do the same job. Had to install 18 of them by the end of the day, so I hope it is enough. lol

The truck is "different". But even if it was some special test vehicle, it is in such bad condition that restoring it wouldn't be worth the effort. If it had some special equipment on it, or modified...

Gotta love those compact car spots.

Only ever seen one pic of that trailer. After looking for a while I found the pic.

They have an on board water heater and have poles with shower heads on them to setup a shower area I believe....

Same as an M109A3.

Lots of info/drawings here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/39051-m818-m109-body-2.html#post501518

One of the pics from that thread.

Edit: looks like gringeltaube...

I have a second red button on my dash. So maybe it is that one they are talking about :twisted:

Yup. That is why they had to install a fuel tank inside one of the compartments to fuel the gas powered generator/welder combo.

We ended up pulling out the tank, cleaning it out really well, and...

Should have seen how much trouble it was to get the original generator/welder out of our truck. Took a HIAB to get it out, and even with that it was a pain. Truck must have sat up by at least 3...

Found some more pictures of the trucks for anyone interested. No real extra information, but pictures are always good.

I added the...

The ash tray assembly was damaged when we got our M1010, so we started off by removing the door assembly. Then we made a plate that would cover the hole, painted it OD like the dash, then installed a...

Well you could be different and install the crane on the back of an M1008. No one else will have one! lol

There are some M35's up here. Imported from the US (yes legally). We have an M35A2 and an M109A3.

Saw it was about to start raining and took a few pictures before it starting coming down. Couldn't...

Sadly the MLVW's are a rare breed now. When the government sold off the first surplus trucks 3 years ago, we tried to get them road legal (as the government had the titles striked as "off road...

FYI. Canadian M35's (MLVW) came stock with power steering.

Not sure if it was mentioned in the previous 14 pages, but I thought I would mention it anyways.

Well at least the box is lower to the ground (than if mounted on the truck frame) so it is easier to work on it.

You will get there. Just as long as it is ready before the zombies arrive, you...

New fuel tank looks good. I am sure that once you paint it, she will blend right into the truck and look like it came from the factory that way.

Keep up the good work.

No it cannot be undone. Once it is welded, you cannot unweld it.

Here is one done on a Toyota. Same thing pretty much (was just the first link that came up on google): How to weld your rear diff
...

Very cool.

Need more details and pics :wink:

Might as well revive this thread again since it has been a year ;-)

Saved a 1976 5/4 ton from the scrap yard today. Is in pretty darn good shape for its age.

Main reason we saved it (other than...

Has me thinking of one of those nature shows on lions.

"The ever stealthful deuce hides nearby, waiting to attack its prey....."

Looks good to me. Very simple and straight forward. Usually the simplest solutions are the best ones.

Good looking truck. Though I find it odd why someone painted the spare tire.

Got 5lbs units in all the trucks. 5lbs should be the minimum for a car or truck. 5lbs units are made to only shoot chemicals for up to 10-15 seconds max (if I recall correctly). Smaller units just...

Good work and welcome to the M109 camper group [thumbzup]

Never heard of anyone who sells second hand utility consoles. I have seen a few companies that sell used rack systems out of the back of those service trucks, but never a center console. Very few...

Its the hub assembly on the rear diff's (only) that need to be flipped.

First pic is non flipped. You can see that it is closer to the inside of the diff and will hold two tires.

Second pic is...

Shame on you for selling such a nice M1010..........to someone other than me!

Good looking truck. Hope the new owner will treat her well.

Here is our M1010. Last picture is of our first...

DND has its own plates for trucks up here. Not sure what the truck was doing down in PA, but it was probably there as part of some sort of training.

These trucks are basically just something to...
