Re: RE: Suburban K20/CUCV M1008 morphing project Thanks, Kenny...that's the ticket. :wink: Adam

Hey folks... Maybe you saw that earlier thread I posted asking about this idea I had of dropping a Sub "tub" on a CUCV (LWB K30) frame & chassis. After some discussion & reality checking, I've come to the conclusion that I'll keep the eyes peeled for a decent K20-chassis Sub that is already a...

Re: RE: frame dimensions M1008 and suburban Thanks for asking, Mike! 1. many sub bodies with rear barn doors....love them barn doors....built with dual a/c 2. M1008's all have Dana 60 fronts, Corp 14-bolt Detroit Locker rears...and dual exhaust 3. why not meld the two? Would seem...

frame dimensions M1008 and suburban I went back to some of my bowtie sites, and it looks like the c/k long wheelbase p/u's are 131.5 inches and the subs are 129.5 inches. Wondered if anyone's dropped a sub body onto an M1008/M1028/M1031 frame. Adam

Fellas, what is the length diff b/w a cucv M1008 frame and a suburban of similar vintage? Are they the same length? Adam

multifuel motors used in farm tractors Yes, that's right....the Oliver big 4x4 tractors of Charles City, Iowa got them in one model, I believe the 2125? I'll have to ask John Winslow again, he has one out at his place. I have a couple pictures of that beast somewhere....and, FWIW, tractor...

the other beast.... Bjorn, by the way, how is the deuce motor fix going?

m757 that rig is coming along great, keep on rocking! have you decided to wait for original size tires/wheels, or are you planning a compromise? the vintage pics of the m757 in germany are neat. adam

woodstock tractor show Looks like Henry had some fun with his IH.... Did you get to do some laps with the Commando? Who else brought the other MV's - any SS members?

I wanted to get some feedback about the successes people have had with fuel choices other than straight diesel in cold weather. Also, Bjorn, how do you alter your fuel blend in the winter? How much do you use your straight veggie tank (heated) in winter? If people are running bio blends and...

EMP and vehicles They went through this whole imaginary scenario on the new CBS series Jericho....only the older cars, with simple electronics, or diesels, would function... I admit that I'm watching it; every episode I allow my wife to remind me how bad the show sucks.... :roll: But it is...

FMTV's opinion piece Getting "modernized" with the FMTV's - once you get them all up-armored to make the rounds in the sandbox, they're so overloaded they are bound to break. Plus, what was once a 5-ton MTV is now a 2-1/2 ton truck....if that. Don't they remind you of a generic cab-forward...

Re: Convoy idea..... Not a dead issue, I'm sure Bjorn would welcome an MV visitor with prior notice. After initiating this thread, I got bogged down in various life issues including new job and moving, so I'm on an "undefined" timetable. But more power to ya if you can make it...I'm...

XM757 Have you found a Pershing yet? 8) BTW, buddy of mine stationed in Germany with lots of stories from early 80's, he was M88 crewman. I need to find out if I can scan his old pictures....

current MV's Iraq pics Great current pics! Like to see the hardening kits on different vehicles. Keep 'em coming! [thumbzup]

big bad boomers If you've ever had the chance to witness live fire of heavy artillery, via military experience, or however, it is pretty tough to imagine anything surviving a "daisy chained" 152mm artillery round....cuz that means, 3 or more 152mm's together, simultaneously! We are talking...

diamond T do you have a copy of the "us army wheeled vehicles" by fred crismon, ryan? maybe one of your buddies has one....it has some totally obscure stuff in there, pretty much the "original" bible of MV identification for those of us who found it in the early 80's...even though it has it's...

Ryan, take a look in your old Crismon's US Military Wheeled Vehicles, it's probably in there somewhere. I don't have my copy handy, but I bet it's mentioned. Is this a barn find? Does it have a US registration number anywhere? Is it tandem axle or no? The pic suggests a cab & chassis, but we...

kaiser reg info sorry, I went and looked and what I read on my plate was 04B-76970 with a VIN of 0525-28273. hope this helps! also, the truck has a non-turbo M/F motor with 1969 date codes throughout; so I assume it's likely the original motor. I have also attached a pic of the inner...

Re: RE: yup yeah, it will...Jeff Ski knows best I know he talked about this very thing not too long ago. I'm sure there are some diffs regarding the install, but it has & can be done. Plus, you're talking about a 500hp motor with the later-style fuelie goodies, versus a carb'ed motor around...
