The Ouverson is the way to fly but they stick out a lot further than the AVM or the selectros. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/21495-avm-vs-ouverson-take-closer-look.html

No-I do not think the military serial numbered the engines to the chassis' like the private sector does. Matching #s refers to the engine's serial # matching the vehicle's VIN. The information tag (data plate) on the passenger side of a multi only tells you who made it, when, which version it...

I think it's safe to say that looking at your 19XX truck and saying it has a 19XX engine probably has no bearing on what it came with or the time period(s) the three engine manufacturers of multifuels (Hercules, White & Continental) were building them due to the frequency of the military...

That's interesting that it doesn't look like it's CARC'd-it looks like the old olive drab. I think Brad900's truck was the same. I thought everything modern used the same CARC paint.

Wow! Great shots, thanks for posting.

I have occasionally seen decon units mounted outside. I think the floor is the most common. I have a hardtop truck where it's mounted on the inside of the hardtop at the rear corner. There have been dozens of fire extinguisher brackets over the years, so it is possible it was one of the many...

Has anyone heard or bought from Houdel recently?

All of that sounds like what I would do but I would add resizing the rods and definitely replace the cylinders and pistons-they are too cheap not to. Also replace the injector pump lubrication hoses and all the fuel system hose. Once you have done all that, add better filters and a pre-lube...

I would mate it up with a 700R4 and put it in one of those mid-Eighties Chevy Citations.

I am reupholstering one of clintogf's springers and there are two locks with an connecting rod. I can shoot pics tonight if needed. Also, there is a return spring on each lock-I know this because somehow both were broken on hers. edit: I just noticed in your finished seat, the lever to move...

Looks very good. How did you do the letters? Regarding blast cabinets, I have an awesome cabinet I am thrilled with. It's big, has excellent filtration (no dust), doors on each end and good lighting (recessed fluorescents). A company in NC makes them. Their site is: BLAST-IT-ALL®...

Those pictures are definitely Clarks, I found them somewhere else online and the paperwork hanging on the glovebox int he deuce interior picture has the Clark International logo.

Several points. If they are doing all that work and it's done right, it's not a terrible price. I wouldn't buy anything from someone who claims to be doing such a level of work yet doesn't even know the difference between an M813 and M817 One of those pictures is a deuce interior.

Thanks! I think of all the MV's out there, the only one I'd want more than a DUKW is a UH-1. :D I keep telling clintogf if I sold both my deuces, the M105 and the Mule and she sold all her deuces and the CUCV we could buy a DUKW. That's about the time she starts rolling her eyes at me.

M818 Rally Sport edition :p

I got mine Saturday and it was a great article and the lead shot being Neil's truck was awesome!
