I have done at least 30 of these, on more than a dozen different trucks, never have I seen safety wire on them. Not a one and all but one of the trucks I've done had come straight from the military. Like Hornet said, the worthless rubber will dry rot off the axle before it can wiggle the...

Don't forget the biggest reason modern engines last so much longer-electronic fuel injection systems capable of accurately metering the fuel going into the cylinder and only injecting what's necessary. Older engines with carbs, no matter how well tuned, inevitably "washed" the oil off the bores...

Looks good Z. If the spare tire was much larger, you'd have to get a smaller jerry can :) I see the USMC rear lift rings, do you guys have the front for it? Is the drivers seat tilted back some? It looks laid back to me.

TM says major adjustment when you replace shoes, minor for servicing. Major = mess with bottom anchor Minor = only mess with upper pivot Pads = disc brakes Shoes = drum brakes :D

Welcome to the site! More Australians! Raeme's not going to feel so alone now. rofl There are several military Rover guys here on the site, so you'll fit right in.

The USAF (and I assume USA) Dodges (like this-obviously the M37 and WWII WC series are different) did not have an M-series # assigned to them. I have a friend who has one of these: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/57969-1968-air-force-power-wagon.html Picture help is here...

So sorry to hear this. Damm that's way too young.

Deuces and 5 tons are different-there is no "interim" 5 ton in between WWII stuff and the M39. Deuce = WWII = CCKW Interim (Korea) = GMC (Early deuce forum) Later = Reo (M44, G742) 5 ton = WWII = All the weird stuff like Federals, Macks, IH, etc. Then they jump straight into the M39 series...

Time to do all the hubs! What fun!

It's only 753 miles from Fulton to the Ga Rally-just pack your bags and save up some gas money and come hang with us next Fall!

There is much discussion on 3053's leaking out the front. Do a search in the deuce forum for "seal AND knuckle", I'll bet that will pull up all the tranny leaking threads.

NO issue whatsoever. We can figure the year by the VIN stamped in the frame. Get your bid on.

That's weird-it lets you post to here but not the 5 ton forum. Copy all of what you want to post onto a word document, then try and post the thread. if it lets you, go back and edit it and add all the text.

How do you get anywhere with them? They are giving patracy no love. Do you have an inside contact, or at least a salesperson you regularly deal with?

Several points. First, glad you didn't get stuck in the middle of an intersection or something like that. Second, the discussion of over-revving, rod bolts and general multifuel reliability should be carried over to one of the pre-existing threads. Third, I totally agree, when rebuilding an...

bbf is probably referring to the issues regarding not using reverse in low range.

(yelling in the foreground) NV4500! NV4500!

That is a great picture. Deuces are so lovely :D

Hey Mike, We enjoyed this year as always, thanks for the support. All of the pics and video are being collected in this thread. As people are still driving home and getting back to work, the thread will probably continue to grow for a week or so. But there are already a lot of pics and few...

I am going to assume you actually bought a #7 wrecker hoist. Because the first pic you posted with the CCKW is probably not your hoist since it has the trolley. Short answer: Bomb hoist goes all the way to the front of the bed #7 wrecker hoist goes about 2/3 or 3/4. Learn more...
