Very nice truk.

THAT IS MY FAVORITE VEHICLE IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the full wings it has [fenders] instead of the cycle wings. It must be repaired. You British dudes get all the good toys.

BMY sold the 900 series trucks on the civilian market in both 6x6 and 4x4 versions. And any body style you wanted. As long as you had the cash.

You have some beautiful trucks [lorries]. I like how you balanced out the air cleaner and exhaust stack on your 5ton. I did just the opposite, I removed the air cleaner and stack from the fender. The truck is a M52A2 tractor and I like the clean look with both removed.

Project Patriot was a U.S. government program that supplied military equipment to FRIENDLY governments. A gift you might say. The vehicles were rebuilt at Letterkenny Depot in PA. When completed they were shipped to sea ports and delivered. I was at Letterkenny Depot in 1987 and there were...

Hey man,said in a friendly way, the civilian version was similar but was speced out differently. It was lighter and had higher, lower numerically, gearing in the axles. Depending on how much money you have to spend you could change the axle gearing or run a larger diameter tire. Even a few...

Both trucks are M-211, but one has a 1952 Ford nose on it.

The easy way and I feel the safest way to remove the torque rod from the housing, is to first remove the nuts, use a Porta Power with the spreader attachment also called a butterfly.Place the spreader and then pump. If the rod end is really bound then apply some heat to the mounting boss. If...

A few of the trucks I have worked on have had the nuts strip or break off were the fender bolts to the cab inside the rocker panel. My solution to this is to take a piece of quarter inch thick band iron and drill 3 holes in it to match up with the bolt holes in the cab. I then weld 3 nuts over...

correction- do not use take off U bolts as they are prone to failure

I like the paint and espically the chrome windshield frames, the truck looks very nice.
