I finally got them on. The belts that fit my deuce, as often recommended here, are the Napa 25-9470. Those belts are 47.25 or 47.38 in length, depending on which Napa source you check. My original belts, the Dayco 5-3634, were about the same size. The Napa 25-9476 is a little longer to make...

Is there a trick to changing the fan belts? I followed the advice in this post - http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?2249-Belt - and got the Goodyear 17461 belts. Those are only 46" belts and I can't see getting those belts on the pulleys unless I took the front of the truck off an used...

Does anyone know where to get the black elastic piping used instead of rope to secure a cargo cover?

Sweet... Gotta love the full-auto M3 aircraft .50 cal. Ammo at $3.50 a round has got to sting a bit though! :wink:

The image above is identical to the speedo adapter I have for my deuce, and that one came off a truck with 11x20's the Army put on. I haven't tried to install it on my deuce yet, so I can't offer any advice there, but I can tell you NSN 2520-00-404-3098 is also in the mil-veh archives as the...

Was it 2520-00-404-3098 you got from saturn?

Anyone know the range of value of an M3A1 scout car depending on condition?

I made mine too, since no one had them locally and I needed to get the job done. A 4 sided box welded to an old socket isn't pretty, but it only takes 10 minutes and works just fine.

A torque multiplier...I learn something new every day. A bit expensive though. I just noticed this old auction HERE. If you think about the way it works, it's really a great idea. I don't know how it actually performs in the real world, but the concept is awesome. On to impact guns...

I wondered the same thing about the rear duals. I let it go thinking they might have been testing front super-singles only, or maybe he was referring to two rear singles as duals? The exploding brake thing sounded strange too, isn't the contact area of a pair of dual 9x's about the same as a...

This is the original text from the mil-veh list back in '99, took me a while to find it! In 1969, I was regular army, and got assigned to an AMC (Army Materiels Command back then) unit at Camp Pickett Va, for the very first testing of super singles on 2 1/2 ton trucks. The agency responsible...

I remember reading somewhere that military trials of super-singles on deuces resulted in damaged suspension components, brake destruction, etc. Can you safely put big tires like these on an unmodified deuce?

I have a couple of Selectro locking hubs I thought I'd put on my Deuce but I noticed something with them I don't like. The guts of the locking mechanism are retained on the inside by a snap ring. It's nothing more than a curved round wire, and it doesn't even fit completely into the groove of...
