    Suburban doors on an M1009?

    Are you talking turning it into a 4 door? or just swapping the front doors... I think the front doors are basically identical.... Laterz, Gator >|--|~

    Member "Staging Lots" ??

    Ida; I whole heartedly agree with you on the assistance factor of helping out a fellow member, especially knowing that I will most likely be in need of assistance in this or a similar manner. My rates for transport vary dependent upon what I am hauling and where due to many factor, including...

    Member "Staging Lots" ??

    This is something that I have been thinking about myself, and recently came to light, which has left me in somewhat of a quandry. I do not, at the moment, have the room for a staging area. I do, however, have a truck and trailer(trucking company) and (live) very close to Ft. Sam Houston (San...

    Civi VS, Mil

    Yeah... thought about that, but I like my Schedule 40 Pipe bumpers too much!! They come in very handy when in close proximity to trees, gives a really stout place to wrap chains when having to jerk on something and keeps tailgators at a distance!!! That bumper has seen some really hard knocks...

    Civi VS, Mil

    thanks for all of your replies... I think I am going to keep this truck "Civi" although I most likely will add some of the MIL stuff such as black out lights... Currently this truck has a 350cid gas burner, although I was tempted a number of years ago to swap that out for a 6.2 and aside from...

    6.2 and bio

    I filled the tanks on my Pete with Commercial Bio one day. about 150 gal added to apx 150 gal of ULSD. I had a Cat C-16 and a 13spd Eaton. I noticed an immediate drop in power and fuel mileage (went from 6 down to 4.8) also had to change the fuel filter afterwards as it was very restricted...

    I am in the process of (re)acquiring a 1983 Chevrolet 1-ton HD 4X4, granny geared 4 spd, 350 motor.... I started a rebuild on this truck a number of years ago, then sold it to my old neighbor, he has since put in a rebuilt motor and some other parts and I am now buying it back from him... My...

    M37 Value in your opinion

    At the moment I have decided to pass on the Willys. (of course, I still haven't been "home" to McAllen so I have not had the chance to go look in person to even be able to think about buying it, and thus might change my mind when I do get there....) and in the meantime I bought another truck...

    2nd gear starts??

    as long as you are not having to really slip the clutch, it shouldn't be a problem. Truckers rarely use the first gear (or couple of gears) depending on the weight of the load. In my pickup I extremely rarely use the first gear. No deuce specific knowledge here, but lots of experience with...

    What is the minimum height of a M35A2?

    I'm curious as to why you "need" to put it in the garage... I've been to Lake Havaseu City an find it hard to believe that there would be a local ordinance against it. Not implying anything derogatory, just that it is an extremely small community 100mi from anywhere. If I'm not mistaken the...

    What to look for in a Carrier

    In light of the recent purchases, I just wanted to put this back to the top of the recent post page. Be careful who you choose. I would hate to hear one of you mentioned in the next transport nightmare story. Laterz, Gator >|--|~

    Thanks for the info!!! I was a little leary of the fact that there wasn't a picture, but I figured, hey, maybe that was it! I learned something new today!!! That is good! You know... someone might misconstrue you two comparing each others "BTTT'S" Laterz, Gator >|--|~

    What to look for in a Carrier

    Moderators: I think that a "Sticky/Announcement" may be in order to help educate everybody as to what to look for when looking for a transporter... Aside from SteelSoldiers helping each other out; I just wanted to give a word of caution when choosing someone to transport you valued MV's and...
