    Need your VIN number

    No, as you said the first 4 of the row '0546' is the 'name' for the M36A2 click so I guess that numbers stays the same with all M36's. The 10172 is where you need to look, if I understand your first post.

    more paint questions

    First, WHY do some Vietnam truck have the yellow paint on the front part of the hood? What is the color code of the Nam green? Is that the original Olive Drab or what is it called/numbers. The paint of my truck is coming off so it needs a new paintjob desperately. I am thinking of painting it in...

    Need your VIN number

    My VIN is: 0546 10172 it's a M36A2 with winch, the other numbers I don't know. You tell me :) Mine still has the original hood number painted on. Can you figure them out as well? I'll write them down tomorrow when the sun is 'on' again.

    Oil for fuel

    That'll be me :wink: Mine runs on half used engine oil and half petroleum (I believe you guys call it kerosine, the fuel for lamps or antique cooking/camping, whatever you call that stuff) In Holland Kerosine is jetfuel. That is not the fuel used. That'll be too expensive. Petroleum is...

    My Ambulance

    It is longer than a regular cab & chassis of K3500 series. The wheelbase is longer. I know of a kid who has the same vehicle, removed the ambulance body and put a pickup bed on it. He added about 1 foot; his plans were make a supercab, like Ford had in those days but instead he easyed up his...

    McGuyver's M880

    I had Hummer tires on my M885, but I kept the original rims. (couldn't find others overhere) other than the paint and Chevy sunvisor it was all stock.

    Diesel Chicken

    Wargames cost money... Here the Gov's think of every chance to raise the fuelprices. Gulf war: proces raised. 9-11: they raised a lot. War in Afghanistan: the prices doubled. Every time Bush comes up with a new 'game', our fuel prices raise.

    Salvage yard in the Netherlands

    Yeah, they can be shipped back to the USA. I know it has been done before. I know of a few Sherman tanks and a White Scout car that had been shipped to the USA about half a year ago so why not a truck or whatever you're looking for? Those M-series trucks have the US papers anyhow. (like the...

    Be happy! here in the Netherlands the diesel cost more than 5 bucks for 1 gallon... Gas is close to 8 bucks...

    Salvage yard in the Netherlands

    The US Gov is too rich I guess. A totally cut up Duece or 5 ton will make about $ 100-150 worth of scrap metal. They don't care if they can sell them for a few thousand dollars each. I paid 2500 euro for mine (about < $ 3000) Now all they get is less than $ 100 each. Wreckertrucks will go for...

    Salvage yard in the Netherlands

    Well, not excactly wasted. Both salvage yards from the pix are not scrapping them all. Some of the stacked dueces will be used for parts, most of them will be back on the streets or sold. Since 9-11 it is not possible in Europe to buy (auctioned off), custom made for the USArmy vehicles anymore...

    Salvage yard in the Netherlands

    More trucks in the Netherlands. a Spanish built Jeep with CJ3B components. Rare... Another rare vehicle, a Mack M123 I even came across a few WW2 vehicles. They should be in a museum, not on the scrap yard... They told me that they belong to their own collection. Still... GMC with shopvan...

    My Ambulance

    Hmmm, strange... I've been trying to get on this forum with my previous inlog name (M36-A2) for the last half year but it didn't work. So I made up a new account and now I see my old name is working again, automaticly inlog through my computer. Well, M36-A2 and Scrambler are both me...

    Brake problems

    A friend of mine has a M35A2C (and several other 6x6s) The problem on this one is that the brakes ain't working as they should. Sometimes the pedal is hard like a rock, not possible to put it down, other times it's soft and goes straight to the floor, making no attempt to slow down the truck and...

    M54-A2C Does this sound a good deal?

    Yes, you're not allowed to drive on anything else than dieselfuel but, you're not allowed to curse either... :roll: In Holland, the kerosine (petroleum) has an additive (some sour-something) which they can figure out that you have it in the tank, or the heating fuel, which is fairly the same...
