Starting a new thread on my Fire Truck. It's a 1944 G506. It's got a post war tank and plumbing, which will be removed and replaced with correct plumbing/tank. At least that's the plan. If there's not enough parts to recreate a fire truck, maybe I'll go the way of making it a cargo truck. So...

I've finally got the truck resembling War Wagon up and running. Not sure how to gather all the various threads, ie Vietnam tribute truck, etc. My War Wagon is the 1970 M35A2 W/W. 2 gun positions (for now, more planned), radio, intercom, and the rest of the stuff is being added as I get time...

First off, I checked the TM links and the search tool. I went thru the entire 228 hits with no luck finding out which book covers the M2 equiliberator mount. I'm putting 2 on my gun truck but they gots to be torn down as they are frozen from old age or something like that. anybody know which...

I'm pretty sure I've blown my head gasket on the XM-211. I've spen the past 4 hours searching everywhere I could think of for the Gasket Set. Do any of you M-135/M211 owners know of a source for these sets? Thanks You for any help you can provide. BTW there 21 pages of for sale parts. Wow...

how do I post pictures on messages???

This is a weird one: got my Toys For Tots (T4T) truck (1972 M35A2 WO/W) all set up for the big kickoff on the 5th (Oct) (picture below). I wanted to show the T4T committee what I had done and make sure the truck was set up as they envisioned. Got halfway there and my wife pulled up beside me...

Hi All Sorry for the short notice:oops: but tomorrow at Frontier Park will be the 5th Annal Children's Miracle Network Car and Bike Show. Myself and another local MV enthusiast will be there. He will have his 1943? Dodge Ambulance and I'll have my 1972 M35A2 WO/W done up in Desert Storm...

Local fire district surplussed out their old water truck. price was right and got a few extras. Forgot the date..1973, not sure what size tank it is. Definitely a bubba (no offence bubba) job; but a bubba job that works, is a real good bubba job. Was a gasser, now a diesel. Not sure what...

Hi I'm posting this thread to gather your opinion on posting pictures of B-29 nose art obtained from a deceased Soldiers effects. Some of the pictures can be quite racy as was the tradition at the time. Only those that are properly clothed (enough so your imagination has to fill in the details)...

I have two of these. One was in the back of one of the trucks and it was broken at the bend. The other (pictured) normally hangs on the drivers window right side support thumb screw. It is not part of the window assembly. The broken one was in the bed of a non winch truck. The one pictured...

Hi Thought I'd try starting a new thread about adaptive measures / tools and equipment used to replace the infamous "Soldier B". I'm a one person shop, and I've got some (OK a lot) of physical challenges. I have to come up with new ways or slightly modified ways of getting a two person, and...

Hi The summer MV shows are coming up. I've hooked up with a Vietnam era Vet ( he was very specific, did not want anyone thinking he was one who served over there). Both of us want to show our appreation and honor all Vietnam War Vets with a tribute truck. My M35A2 W/W is a 1970, a perfect...

Found this picture going thru Dads war photos. Can't say exactly what it is but it looks to be a Bell 47 (MASH fame). Only thing written on it is "53". That's the year he was in Japan with the 24 on occupation duty. Anyone got any other ideas?

This one one of an ongoing chain of postings about my M 1009 justifiably named "TOAD" (sits on her pad all day and doesn't do squat). SInce i don't know where they all are, I get to make this one FINALLY POSITIVE[thumbzup]!! The Problem: I have not been able to make my fuel system work. I've...

Short note to say just picked up a M-211. Looks just like the picture in Standard Catalog of U.S. Military Vehicles, 2nd Edition, page 158 top picture (just add 60 years of wear and tear and you have it pretty well pictured:)). Pictures will be posted tomorrow. Somebody bubbed (no offense to...

Not looking for help on this one, just passing on what I've found. Start with the initial problem. This might get a little long winded, so getting a beverage is probably a good deal. BTW, this is all for a M1009. anyhoo, initial problem was the fuel filter base was leaking from the drain no...

HI Looking for someone headed west along I 80 that would like to bring a small hydraulic cart from Krall (SS Member) who has it near Shippenburg to me. I live near Cheyenne, WY. If you can help out, please PM me and Krall. Thanks in advance if you can help. Jeff

Went to a sale, probably a year ago and bought a box of junk. I finally got around to going through it and found these. I might of mentioned the one tool, can't remeber for sure. The middle wrench works on a deuce. The upper one has a three inch 8 sided opening (axle nut). Haven't measured...

Been playing around in the Toads engine compartment and I noticed fluid leaking down the fire wall below the heater hose. I looked underneath and sure enough a small puddle. I tightened the clamp to the heater and leak went away, or so I thought. In addition to the AF dripping, fuel is coming...

Before I ask the question, I'll start with what I think I know: the K5 Blazer has a 1/2 ton chassis and suspension. The M1009 has a 3/4 ton suspension on a 1/2 ton chassis. There's some extra bells and whistles that go with the M1009 to beef up the under carriage so it can take a beating and...
