Harold is good folks! Check with the other folks in the MHCC (www.Milhcc.org) for his contact info or send him an e-mail through the 'notifications' tab at the top of the page.

Way back when the HMMWV was proposed (IE., before the contracts were signed), one of the 'reasons' was that the jeep/mutt left a narrower track than the trucks and an observant enemy could learn a lot of useful information by the number of jeep/mutt tracks in off-road areas. As in what type of...

Somebody look for a BC-325, take good pictures of the front, and send them to papabear!

Three of the four bolts holding the brake MC on are fairly easy. The lower one, closest to the frame rail (outside) is a real booger. Last one I did took a deep well socket, a six inch extension, a universal socket, another six inch extension, and then the ratchet handle. It needs to go up...

The dealer I've had the best luck with is > https://armyradio.com/Clansman-Radios/ They have been around quite a while. I got my -319 from them about five years ago, and a whole bunch of accessories since then. For HF the 320 is probably the best way to go.

2 meter or 70 cm bands would take care of most HAM repeaters. In vehicle radios should be able to put out 30-50 watts on those frequencies. If you go DMR and there are enough repeaters in your area, you could talk at much greater distances, albeit with some slight delay as each repeater sends...

Not a home-made dataplate, just one that happened to be available when the motor pool did something requiring a new one. If the cargo bed is 12 feet long and centered over the rear wheels, it is probably a regular cargo deuce. Since you are in Charlottesville, you should PM 'steelypip' as that...

Add acoustic insulation to the inside of the container and some baffles around where the air flow goes through the walls/roof to keep the noise levels down even more. Just be sure the inside of the baffles are as large or larger than the intake fan opening so the air is not restricted. What...

You might want to go to the series of videos that this came out of: M35A2 Hydraulic head cleaning - YouTube Lots of useful information there.

Yes, there were two sets of dataplates, and a lot of the cab parts had items with DLA contract dates that were four years younger than the truck, all in new configuration (not used). Inside the cab is 'like new' even down to the smell. It was converted for the arctic configuration, and while...

Military bought civilian vehicles and used them for decades before the CUCV contracts were started. Even in Vietnam in the 60's there were Dodge sedans and light pickups being used by the Navy and Air Force, and to some smaller extent by the Army. That ad-hoc system was replaced with the CUCV...

He got the starter fixed, batteries charged up and took it for a drive! Found the fuel line to the Arctic heater in the back has a crack that will leak fuel if turned on. VERY nice truck! I got to play step-and-fetch-it a little, and he did get to visit the MVCSC compound before we went to lunch.

Optilube XPD is my choice for lubricity, however it is mail order and cheaper to purchase two gallons at a time. A more local source, but more expensive is to pick up Biobore-JF and Biobore-MD from the local marine (boats) dealer. Biobore-JF is a biocide agent (3.5 cc's for five gallons), and...

I agree, even full of fuel, I can carry two of them about a hundred yards or so. They start getting to me between 50 and 100 yards, but I can make it.

Output of the GI transformer is 1200 watts. Most of that is used when the MBU's start up. The military generator for use with these units was a 2kw machine. If they have 50 percent efficiency then 1200 watts out means 2400 watts in, 2400 divided by 120 volts equals 20 amps, but that is with...

And I moved mine onto the truck at OKC and then off once I got home by myself! But I did empty it out first, and it did not have the smokestacks.

Dave, As you said, they are larger than an M-59. And they have a special piece of shielding on the bottom to get the heat spread out that is NOT cheap! Be very careful when lifting it onto the cradle so you don't mess that piece up. Two replacement pieces cost me $125 plus shipping. The...

Let's see if I can post the PDF's.

Oven with the four shelves was part of the KCLFF when the MKT was new. Lots easier to do baking with it. I have one, but not mounted in the MKT.

When trying to explain one of my deuces to the DMV clerk, I blurted out, "It's like a big pickup truck that can carry over 5000 pounds." Yes, my registration says "Body type = Pickup". YMMV.
