I am almost positive the guy who owns that has posted here. His truck is his avatar.

A 0540 prefix is almost guaranteed to be a 1972 model. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?25830-Year-for-Vin-help-for-5ton-and-2-5-ton http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?38142-Any-info-appreciated Interesting reading...

I've seen Reckless' deuce in person and I can assure you, these pictures don't do it justice. It is a world class crewcab conversion and the interior is awesome.

I am deeply saddened by Boatie's passing. He was really a founding member of the site-he joined when the site membership was probably in the hundreds and participated in most of those early, groundbreaking threads where the new community was trying to lay down a foundation of knowledge. He was...

I like the LEDs in that they are really bright. However, when they burn out they're done. Lot more expensive than a bulb. The other downside is that the taillights (not sure about the front turn signals) aren't as visible if you're looking at them from an angle. If you're directly behind...

1. Crazy awesome project, I echo the above sentiments in enjoying unusual projects. 2. Had no idea Cushmans were available with sidecars. Clintogf will never leave me alone about one now.

In 1994, a bunch of guys swam the English Channel with their DUKW's, arriving at Normany for the celebrations. I strongly recommend any of you who love DUKWs to take your Ritalin and enjoy the entire video. It's awesome sauce...

I'll bet a cold beer your hard start issue is a bad starter switch. The rotary switch has been discussed here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?64641-Start-Switch and here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?66965-m35a2-twist-style-start The rotary switches are...

I want to go to W&P so bad. Somebody needs to organize an SS field trip and get us some deeply discounted ticket so we can all go.

If you can hear the pump spinning but it's not sending fuel to the filters, it may have lost it's shims: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?5753-Fuel-Pump Start with that. On to the push switch: When you check it with the multimeter, you need to make sure it's flowing the right...

I agree the waterproof stuff is outlandishly priced, but in my experience, it literally lasts forever. It's not like you're going to be replacing the wires every 2 years.

And he can use the Jeepie to slave off the other trucks!

Yes, in fact, Peashooter's M109A3 is a contract truck with dual circuit brakes. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?108671-PEASHOOTER-s-M109A3-CAMPER-Build-Thread&highlight= I friend of mine here in Ga has one as well.

I can go get it. I'll pm you my info.

I absolutely love these things but I think without the entire rig (both powered units and the trailer) they're kind of ..................................err, incomplete. It would be like owning a battleship bit with all the turrets removed. @ $20K, they're gonna' be looking at it for the rest...

If I wanted a 5 ton and I wanted a 939 series, I'd want an A2 for the engine. I'd gladly disable the CTIS to get the good engine.

I think either E22 or Maddawg are right. It has to be the 757 or the MANN's. What else did we have that was 8x8 at the time? I doubt he's thinking of those ginormous nuke hauler things form the Fifties. I don't think they were ever deployed outside of Western Europe.

The Army refers to it as a "liner". TM 9-2320-209-3-2. Section 14. Flap (liner) goes in between the tire and tube so the tube doesn't chafe against the tire and leak. Also: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?114647-9-00-x-20-Tire-Flaps-for-NDCC-NDTT-M35a2-Tires...
