A friend of mine that is in the Army sent this picture to me. He said it is sitting in the motor pool and no one knows why. Yes I am trying to find out if they need it hauled off and out of their way.
Thought it was neat the Army still has some around.
Then you know what I am talking about. My knees hit the steering wheel when shifting an M35, M54, M813,etc. I just sit back and enjoy the ride in the G749 series.
I'm not sure why the military designed most of their vehicles for short guys.
I think you should. If you have never driven one, they are a different animal. I'm probably 6'3" tall and these are by far the most comfortable trucks for me to fit in.
Can you PM me details on them, etc.? Everything is tied up in my other truck at the moment, but I can plan ahead on yours if it works for me to buy them from you in the future.
I can hardly keep up with me. Always think I can do more than what is possible. I've put this truck on hold until I finish the other one. Working on two at once was getting overwhelming.
I'm working on a video that shows the problems with this truck. Hope to post it to Youtube soon.
No luck on breaking things loose. I tried doing it under its own power and then OkieM1008morrison pulled me. All the truck would do was skid along the pavement. The reduction unit is locked tight. After I finish up my other truck, I will see about swapping some transmissions over from the parts...
That makes me feel better on the runs and small dents. The crease and crack in the hood is hidden under some body work that I still need to finish up. It is under some masking tape. All of my hoods have that.
If you feel like coming down, would enjoy the visit. Tulsa International is real close...
Are you guys planning on meeting up in Montana? If so, let me know anything you might need and I will see what I have and try to squeeze it in the Expedition.
One of my parts trucks has the nicest cargo bed I have ever seen. It will be headed to the blaster next. Pictures of it will be posted later on. It is a cargo bed for an M135.
After I got the primer sprayed on and it had mostly dried, I began to notice a lot of little details I had never seen on any truck before. Things like a GM stamped here or a GMC there. Then there were markings stamped into the wheels. The truck model and S/N was also very clear.
I also noticed...
