I agree, never heard so much horn honking in my life. Not just my truck either!

Our local elementary school sponsored a "touch a truck" event so kids could get a close look at all kinds of big rigs so I brought out my Deuce. There were fire trucks, ambulances, cop cars and all kinds of interesting rigs but my army truck really stole the show. The kids were waiting line to...

If the title isn't in her name, then she doesn't legally own it. I would never buy a vehicle without a clear title.

Yes, M170 parts are a tough find. Mine is also a 1962. Luckily, mine came with a complete drivers seat and the backrest for the passenger but no bottom frame. I've been looking for one for years with no success. Good luck.

Well, Saturn is closed for inventory. Got an email from a fellow SS member who says he has what I need so I'm checking that out.

Erik's was the first place I tried. Unfortunately, my trailer brakes are not the same as my Deuce. My trailer has upper and lower wheel cylinders like an M211/M135. I had the guy at Erik's measure the fitting and bolt for the M35 and 5 tons shown on their site and they were 1/2. Mine are 7/16...

I'm rebuilding the brakes on my M105A2 and have had good luck finding most stuff at NAPA but I can't find proper banjo bolts anywhere. Mine are so rusty that the wrench won't even fit the heads anymore. Also some of the banjo fittings are messed up from someone installing improperly flared hard...

I experienced almost the same thing in my M35A2 except mine was a bad airpack instead of the MC. I'd been driving my truck and noticed the pedal getting closer to the floor. I made a bee-line for home before the brakes died completely. I saw brake fluid spewing from the slobber tube and the...

I'm tearing down the brakes on my M105A2 to rebuild the hydraulics and just give everything a good looking over. I noticed that some trailers people have shown on the site have an air tank and some sort of a relay valve attached to it. My trailer does not have this. Is the because mine is older...

That sounds like it. It should be bolted down, not zip tied as it needs to be grounded to function. I had the same problem with my signals and it turned out to be a bad ground between the flasher and the fender well. The back of the flasher was severely corroded, but nothing a little sandpaper...

Port Townsend WA? I didn't know there was an air museum there. I'll have to check it out next time I get out that way. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Thanks for the info guys. I didn't know the non-jacking large wheel leg was in use that late. Mine is dated Jan 1965 so it's an old one. I couldn't imagine having one of these with no landing leg as they are HEAVY! I unhooked mine the other day and didn't notice that the leg wasn't fully locked...

Thanks Glen. Looking forward to getting the bows so I can install the cargo cover on this trailer. Spent the last couple days knocking out dents and doing a bit of straightening on the bed. It's looking pretty good now.

Yes, M151 wheels. Looks to be custom built from various parts.

When did the M105 trailers change from the old style landing leg with one big wheel to the newer type with two small wheels and built in jack? My trailer has the old style leg with a frame delivery date of 1-65.

My wife found this pic of her Grandfather and his Jeep on a hunting trip on the north Olympic Peninsula in WA state. That's quite a mess of bobcats! The Jeep appears to be a wartime MB or GPW. We figure it was taken in the early 1950's. Just thought some of you Jeep guys would find it interesting.

Blow-by basically means that your rings, pistons, cylinders are worn. Blow-by is a condition where the compressed air fuel mixture and combustion gases are blown past the rings and pistons and into the crankcase. The result is low compression, oil consumption, and a pressurized crankcase that...

I think you're right. I called and asked, "are these military surplus?" Answer, "no". I ask, "are they new?" Answer, "yes." I ask, "who is the maker?" Answer, "don't know." I ask, "do they come with super rope rubber tie downs?" Answer, "yes." So basically, I took my chances and ordered one and...

Clinto , here are pics of the cover from Clark installed on my truck.

Did this happen after you had the airpack apart? I recently rebuilt mine and had the same problem. Turned out I had one part in backwards. Took about ten minutes to set it right and the problem went away immediately.
