It is easy enough to find out an M-816 cost the government around $150k when new. So how much did my M-37 cost Uncle Sam back in '53? Any documentation out there?

I pulled my LU4 with an engine hoist (cherry picker) seemed to go smoothly installing as well. I pulled the shear pinion on the input shaft and pulled the drive shaft off. Then removed the mounting bolts.

Ok, got a couple of questions here. I have already found out getting 11.0-16 tubes is no easy task. What are the codes for valve types? IE, what is a TR15CW valve? What is the code for the steel valve that I want? Maybe a TR75A? I just want to do it right the first time. Any one got a...

Well, All I got to say is thank God I didn't have far to go. That was one heck of a down pour. Yes my right foot was wet. I installed the new rubber windshield seals yesterday afternoon. Now to track down some 11.00 - 16 tubes and flaps.

A trip to the tire shop and $40 later and I am ready for some sand blasting. Yes I marked the rims and lock rings with a center punch. :wink:

I did a Google search and Cabela's has Canvak for $17.99 per gallon.

Thanks for all of the tips. Here is a quick shot of size comparison to the 9.00-16's Goodyear Xtra Grips That is my son Devin.

I got my Michelin 11.00-16 XL's in and they look great (Not mounted yet, sorry). Ok, now I have a question. :?: These tires are used and have a bit of CARC oversparay on them. What solvent can I use to clean it off and not damage the rubber? After it is done is there some thing I can apply...

Looks like it was a decent truck before the moose got ahold of it.....Before / After

My manual says the full level is the side plug.

My guess is you all already know about these guys. I didn't and maybe a few others don't so here goes. They list on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Military-tires-all-you-want-some-are-as-good-as-new_W0QQitemZ200126329055QQihZ010QQcategoryZ66486QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem And...

RE: some before you pics Thanks for the photos there Lane. I will have to check out the rims. Don't really notice any vibration, but I will definitly look into it. I plan on using the balancing beeds in the tubes instead of wheel weights. Dave, aka 67beast, I will PM you with my phone...

Ok here are the finished photos. I have installed the Seabee decals I got form Dave Schwarz at http://www.i2k.com/~schwarzd/ I will be sending Dave some photos so he can post them on his web page. I am driving in a local 4th of July parade today. It is going to be great! See BigBee, It...

RE: left hand light Brian~ Only on the back. I am going to give it a try. I followed a few old style tail lights at the Findlay show and I really liked them. Truck is comming along, I should have it back together in a day or so. Michelin XL's have been ordered. Thanks Jones for the tip...

The XL's are being paid for today. I will definitly post a photo when I get them mounted.

So here is where we are at as of today. I hope to have it all put back together for the 4th of July parade.

RE: numbers Thanks for the tip CGarbee. The wire tag list is invaluable! Thanks so much for posting the link. I am going to print a copy for my records. The 24087 painting is comming along, I am going to tackle cleaning up and preping the winch tonight. I will post some photos.

RE: numbers Yes, my guess is that the position of each wire comming out the back is the same on all of these tail lights. The tag numbers for the composite are 21, 22, 23 & 24 I don't know what extra light the composite fixture has but if I can figure what wire is what tag number that would...

Here is your standard tail light. What are the three aluminum tag numbers for these wires? Any one have a tail light they can check real fast?

CGarbee, that is funny what you said about the cranking speed. My brother was just amazed each time I started my truck. He couldn't believe it starts, said "sounds like it ain't going to start and then away it goes" And that was with a dead generator. Cranks a bit faster now that the...
