They work OK but can be a pain in tight places, and use thread locker on the securing bolts as they tend to loosen without it.

How much do you want to make me a set? That is a fine piece of work, you should be very proud of yourself. I will take the setup as it is now if you will make it.

If you register the truck for a GVW less than 26k or as an antique, you can operate the truck on a class C.

h2o, you can remove the cover with the tranny in the truck. Removing the shifter makes it easier to handle.The shifter is removed with one bolt.

DO IT!!!!

The kingpin is mounted "low" on the trailer to elevate it above the tractor and clear the approach ramps. Picture that 5T on rough terrain and the the trailer slapping the frame of the truck in front of the fifth wheel and the ramps beating into the trailer.

If the information I received is correct, then the 6602 was in production in the 5T up to late 1967. There was concurrent production of the 6602 and the ENDT-673 until the switch to MF.

The best exhaust paint I have used is called VHT. It comes in spray cans and in a variety of colors. Most speed shops or bigger auto parts suppliers carry it. It requires proper surface prep before application.

Towerguy1 is right that trucks were sold to civilians, but your 602 was made for export to friendly nations." Project Patriot- Hands Across the Sea." was the slogan this program was used. Other varients of the M44 series truck were supplied also.

WC-62 w/o winch, WC-63 w/winch.

Recovry4x4, I had never seen a soft cab top Air Force truck. I asked my buddy,USAF 32 years, and he could not remember a truck of any kind, M37, M35 or 5T, without a hard top. He also said the exhaust stacks were level with the top of the cab and a flapper type rain cap was fitted. Also he said...

The USAF did use Strata Blue on their trucks. A dark gloss blue.

The seal could have failed for a number of reasons, age, lack of use or incorrect install. The fit of the seal onto the boss is extremely tight, and the seal will remain on the boss the majority of the time during disassembly.

Manstein, all you have to do is mount the seal into the hub assembly. Then be careful when you remount it, do not scrape the seal on the spindle threads. Also make sure the seat for the seal is very clean. Then reassemble and tighten the nuts to spec.

I feel very fortunate that that was all the damage I had. Tha truck started right up and ran well without any unusual mechanical noise. But when I walked past the mushroom there was air pulsing in and out of it and it was making a soft woof woof sound.

Buggyman, nice unit you put on. I put a manual system on a M35A2 I used to own. I made a big mistake by not disconnecting the intake heater. I gave it a blast of ether and accidently hit the manifold heater switch. My wife thought the garage blew up the BOOM was so loud. After I sorted myself...

Texas That truck looks really sharp. It will make a nice addition to the station. Are you keeping the stock tires or are you going for a different tread pattern?

dma251, IHC 4x4 and 6x6 trucks used that type of free wheeling hubs from about 1955- 1985. A Navistar dealer may have a line on those parts you need.

dmetalmiki, very kind statement you made to me. Thank you. Although I am upset with the situation, a persons wellbeing is more important than money or machinery. I wish YOU and yours all the best.

I can not be too mad at the guy, he rates very high on my pity meter. He is a nice down to earth person. He moved in with his elderly dad, they support each other. Both have offered to pay for the damage but my wife will not take any money from them. She saw him crying and her pity meter took...
