power steering Looks like that Ross H54 unit makes all the difference.

air assist vs true hydraulic ps for deuces Jim, I was under the assumption that conversion to 5-ton ps wasn't possible due to the lack of room for the actual gearbox in the way the deuce motor/frame is set up. Please, enlighten me as to how I might be able to use a 5-ton hydraulic ps setup...

Air-o-matic power steering Thanks for the opinion, 1075! BTW, if you could screen out some M113's for the fire dept, I'd be willing to come visit....

deuce air-assist steering feedback On this subject - I also was wondering if some owners/operators running the air-o-matic kits might chime in with their experiences thus far. Seems to me that with a super singles conversion, an air-o-matic power assist would really make a deuce even more fun...

Guys, here's the flyer you can download from Fort Eustis, if you're interested. It shows part of previous year's lineup of gun trucks. If I can make the time, I'd like to try and drive on down to this! http://www.transchool.eustis.army.mil/Museum/Vehicle%20Rally%20web%20page.doc

I know some of you fellers (ken, mike, bjorn) have been doing the genset thing lately... when I jumped into a conversation the other day, besides finding out about supply captain's M116/M101 trailer combo I could've swore that there was talk of some smaller MEP's might be available from a...

I have posted some pics on my album page here on the site, but I will leave one here to get you all interested. Runs awesome. Nothing quite like a big, flat, air-cooled six to get you moving....think of it as a supersize Porsche motor! Got more interior shots somewhere, when I get out to see...

super singles: the dream.... The more I hear about singles, the more I want time off from work/grad school/my family/all responsibility so I can: 1. flip my hubs 2. get the truck painted 3. mount some 12.5R20 Mich XL's or XML's.... Really, just these 3 things, and I'll be happy! Otherwise...

Wallew's deuce Hey, by the by, where are you with your wheels and tires at this point? Have you done the hub-flip, and found front wheels/tires to go with the ones you got for the rears? What did you end up with for tires?

That would be good for someone with an M548 cargo track....same chassis as M113....

APG meet once folks begin to sign in, we should get some interesting results as to seeing how many folks will actually be there...cool! hope all can make it....I have never once met a SteelSoldiers member...primarily because of my involvement with continuing education (my ed masters) and...

commo shelter value well, from what I've seen, anything from a dollar to a thousand. Preferably, 200 bucks will do it....

super singles conversation Longhunter7 - Those tires on your deuce you sold (very nice truck, I must say!) are the ones I'm looking for. Fit on stock rims, just mainly a more worthwhile tread pattern. That look you achieved in CARC woodland is what I'm working towards in Desert Tan....I...

Thanx, rdixiemiller....yep, pretty much any tire OTHER than NDT/NDCC is an improvement. The best thing to be said about stock non-directionals is that they roll pretty well. Various examples of terrible rain/mud/snow incidents leave me wondering what took so long to get modern radial...

1100's on stock deuce rims...NATO tread pattern Longhunter said: Is this what you are looking for? They are Michelin X, 11:00 X 20 radial, tubeless, on stock rims! exactly what I'm talking about! I just didn't have scans I could find quickly of a deuce with that pattern...which was why I...

Hello, all.... I have been reading with great interest Wallew's super singles exploits, and all the wonderful feedback. Lost in the shuffle, perhaps, I wondered if anyone ran a jpeg or foto of an in-service M35A2 with single 1100x20 Michelins? NOT the 11x20 NDT's...I am not so sure but I think...

deuce brakes...good or no? I am very pleased with the brakes on my deuce. They will lock up...at least on a gravel road, I have done that....and the truck stops real quick. Pedal feel, pressure, all that...the brakes make me feel confident, as opposed to the half-ton IHC pickup I had (73) with...

speaking of M101's.... so does anybody have an M101.....preferably an A2 with CUCV wheels...for sale or trade? thanks!

Emissions a deuce? Mine set up w/ antique tags Wallew, since my deuce is not a daily driver (that's a job for the subaru or the mini) I use antique tags. No inspection whatsoever. Keep one tag on the rear when I drive, usually it is wired up with baling wire (when I remember to put it on..I...

Hey all. Hunting for more reference photos all the time for shots of "desert deuces" as used in the field from both periods, 90-91 GWI and 02-06 GWII....would appreciate any private emails back or replies. Setting up an S141/S280 shelter as a pseudo camper
