1. Although scheduling is difficult, we would prefer rallies not fall on the same weekend. Not going to be a problem if they do, just a preference.
2. What would we need to do to convince ya'll to come join us for a weekend of Southern hospitality? 106 trucks in 2012, big swap meet, MKT...
That looks like a pretty decent candidate for restoration to me. I am going to assume it's been converted to 12V and you'd need to patch the rollbar holes in the bed and find a factory seats, but otherwise looks really solid.
You have about 3 months to get it ready for the rally! See the link...
Sometimes, people will not show up to the rally at the last minute (not to mention non-rally attendees who have rented facilities). I'd start calling a bit before the rally and maybe you'll get lucky and snag one.
I need to find out who the current D-town point person is for us. Lauren...

Several points:
Sometimes a "custom" speedo cable has to be made-SM465 compatible end on one end, M37 (or AutoMeter uin your case) compatible end at the other and a specific length. I believe some speedo shops can create such things, but I have no first hand experience with this.
If you can...
To clarify this thread:
Early M105's (and water buffaloes) have one air line and do not have safety brakes.
Later models (both 105 and WB) have 2 air hoses and those are the ones with a breakaway system.
There's a good word document here somewhere (I have a new laptop and don't have it yet) called "So you want to buy a deuce"-if someone can post it up, that'd be swell.
Deuces are drying up (dried up) from GL (and the few that are left are overpriced), so more or less, you'll be buying from a...
I an not an experienced off-roader, like I am at drag strips and road courses, so everything is a challenge to me!
It's a real challenge to try and get down a sloped hill when it's wet-you constantly have to plan for where you will land if something bad happens.
The first year we were at...
1. Has to be hose rated for immersion in diesel. Info here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?69184-Check-your-fuel-pump!!!
2. Pretty fair space, but I don't know what the TM calls for. The military spaced the pickup up a bit so contaminants/debris could get in the tank and not...
I am going to share some photos with ya'll of a private trip we took.
Squirt-truck and I are friends with some guys in the Land Rover hobby and they invited us on one of their "British truck" offroading trips at D-town this past February. So he took the M37 along with Dumpster and I took the...
