??? about attending Iola in a MV I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but I'm having a hard time finding it. For us newbies thinking of attending Iola and possibly bringing their own MV, what can we expect? How much to get in? Do we need a reservation? etc? I tried the website, but none of the...

Private use plates on a 5 ton in WI. I don't know what it is for a deuce, but I registered my 5ton at 26000 pounds. She weighs 20500 empty without the tarps n bows in. And if I pull a fully loaded 105 trailer (gravel or cement?) its only 5500 pounds and I'll still be good. I know I will never...

Title & plates in WI. If you have a WI title in hand, you can get plates in WI. But you either have to apply for collector military plates or (if you want to actually drive it when you want) register it as a personal use med/heavy truck. For ME, that meant 500 bucks for plates. I can live with...

WOOHOO, We're legal! (almost?) Received the certificate of vehicle Registration this morning. Still waiting on the plates...but she's registered AND insured now. With the C of R in the glove box I should be fully legal to go for a drive now. Think I'll double check though. It used to be, in...

How long did it take? The title took only minutes and was handed over the counter. A few weeks later I found I had to send the title in to get her registered. I sent it in a week or two ago. still waiting on word. I registered it as a private use heavy truck. Was almost 500 bucks. I'm sure I'll...

My 813 runs about 20500 empty. I suppose if I hual a fully loaded 105 with gravel or something...(2500empty plus 2500 load) I'll hit 25500, but shouldnt go over 26000.

I had NO problem getting a title at the DMV... so tested the waters further by applying for private heavy truck plates for my 1971 M813. I plan on using it for a weekend cruiser in town so I down graded it to 26000Lbs though. I doubt I will ever have it that loaded anyway. Even with 2.5 tons of...

I added mine through Geico online! They even have a drop down memu for AM General. If you dont get it, just select other and type it in. The real live person that called me a few hours later didnt even ask about the truck... just looked at my driving record. I too would keep the big truck...

I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico! Ok, I didnt 'switch' to Geico. I still have my regular car insurance through my regular insurance folks. But I got a tip and gave it a try. I did the online application for Geico. I just used "other make" and filled in AM General and for...

Did exactly what I said I would... My friends and family asked what I'd "DO" with my big green truck and I told Them I'd drive to Home Depot for a 2x4. I'd go to Walgreen for my prescriptions. That I'd go to walmart for a gallon of milk! They didn't believe me. pic.1 Home Depot for sliding...

The website doesn't say things like how much weight this kit would add to the truck or how much it will cost. I guess if you have to ask....

Thanks for the heads up. I did try some digging and found absolute JACK so far. A detective, I am not. Then I turned to my new digital camera! I turned it all the way up and took a few pics of the faded scanner tag on the bumper. After blowing it up and playing with the contrast on the computer...

I would Love to start attending shows and get togethers in WI. But I have my special needs boys this weekend and no plates on the truck yet. Was hoping to wait until we get that whole plate thing settled so I can put private plates on my M813a2. What good is it if I can't use it for grocery...

I found NO numbers stamped into the frame on the drivers side at all. Just that one number stamped into the frame on the passenger side. I think the second to last pic is the "bumper number", but not sure. I also have this faded scanner tag that they had JUST started using when I got out. I'll...

73m819: If you could find it in your heart to dig around and find this info... I will forever be in your debt! I wanted to keep my truck stock as possible...until I had to drive it in the hills and in traffic! ugh...need more gears!

I got bored and dug out the bows I have and the tarp for my M813a1. I'm a bow short so it sags a bit in the middle But looks a lot better. I also put the sides on my M105 trailer and started making bows out of 10ft 3/4" Conduit. I have a 20x40 brown tarp im going to double up to make a top for...

Hello, I'd like to double check the info on a 1971 M813a1 WO/W I purchased last fall. This is the info off the tag I found in the glove box: Nat. Stock No. 2320000508954 Ord. Service No. 8736854 Id no. 565009 (I also found this number stamped in the frame) Cont. No. M0002787c0022 I was told...

Could always drop the front drive shaft until you know you'll be needing the extra traction. Of course, it's a bit time consuming and inconvenient... but it's free.

I personally don't want to bob my truck...But I do see the appeal and sometimes leagality in certain areas to do it... anyway... I've thought the same exact thing. Why bob the rear axle off to make it a shorter truck? I think they look goofy like that. Why not bob the front (rear) axle off and...

Ditto with the truck and the "as close to mil-spec as I could make it" AR15. The opening words of the movie Jarhead ring in my ears every day.... "A story: A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished...
