It seems to me that they must have been purchased at a fantastic price to make it cost effective to cut them apart to make a regular truck. It had to be very labor intensive to trim all the meat off of those bones to end up with a cab/chassis.

I believe the wheels are a direct bolt on swap, but there are several folks selling surplus HMMWV wheels and tires dirt cheap.

I brought mine home with a '03 Yukon with no problems at all. These are very big and heavy but they pull great.

I think they are a fascinating vehicle. I definately want to go for a ride in one someday.

Nice truck Stonesoup! I just picked up 2 Dodges from SC, unfortunately mine arent drivers yet. Welcome to SS and the M880 forum!

That is a spectacular looking, gigantic, long wheelbase, monster of a truck!!! [thumbzup]

Am I the only one that has to tighten my lugnuts on the deuce and M105? Part of my pre-trip is to put the wrench on all of them and re-torque the ones that have loosened up.

Welcome from a Ohio native currently in WV. Trailers are a great way to sneak into the hobby. I've been to the motorcycle rally in Chillicothe a few times :shock: wild stuff.

I finally got back to the M880 today. I replaced the fuel filter and some dried out fuel line, cleaned on the carb and added some seafoam and fresh gas. I had it running again and It's getting smoother each time. I think that the float is sticking on it though. It'll purr for a little while and...

I've seen several of these same convoys rolling through southern WV, I got some pics that I'll have to share. I would never have to worry about joining a convoy...the old deuce won't run with the new MVs.

He drove that car from the scene?

WOW...old thread brought back to life.

Those bumpers would look tough on my M880!!

I just got an M886, from what I've been reading there aren't a whole lot out there anymore. Last week I did stumble across a surplus store in Virginia that had 2 parked in the front lot. I had to go in and ask about them. Both are runners and they have a 3rd for parts. So, they can be...

I'm planning at this time to fix up and drive. I hate to say "restore" because that's really more than I plan to do. I'm leaning towards mechanically sound military vehicles. I'm not going to worry about straightening every ding and dent, just hit the bad spots and repaint to military colors. I...

I like it![thumbzup]

Is that a M1010 box on a Dodge? I've not seen that done before.

With all the guys cutting up M105A2's for bobber projects, you should be able to find a good (and more modern) jack for your trailer. Sorry the parade didn't happen for you.

I don't know it's history...but I like it!!

It took a couple trips to Columbia SC but I got both of my new MVs home. I was happy to see the condition of the M880, no rust and a few dents and dings. When I opened the hood I was instantly a little worried, someone had taken the air breather and the radiator cap off. Those wonderful southern...
