    What is this for?

    Every time I see Lonesome715's username I think of the old country song LOnesome7-7203.:-)

    M37 Combat wheels

    I have probably saw pictures of the wheels you are asking about. I'm fairly sure they are WW2 Dodge axles and wheels, and if the wheels are serviceable, they are probably worth the asking price of the wheels and axles combined. WW2 and M37 Dodges share the same lug bolt pattern. If you can get...

    Kassel TFK-250 Field Kitchen

    A 'Now & Then' comparison. The first image is a screenshot from the video MWMULES posted on page 2 of this thread. The second image is a photograph taken during WW2 of a Luftwaffe antiaircraft battery crew. The mess kit and the meal appear the same.

    Leg room m35a2 with spring seat

    I made a thiner back pad to get me alittle farther away from the steering wheel. I'm 5' 10" and about 175 so I fit better than others, but still didn't like hugging the wheel. I replaced the original back cushion, with a piece of 1/4" plywood. Then cut a high density foam sleeping bag mat to...

    Missouri MV titling under attack and review

    Maybe they recalled his because the VIN was similar to yours. I can't tell from the information given whose was rejected first. According to State law, The vehicle examination shall include a verification of vehicle identification numbers and a determination of the classification of the vehicle...

    Missouri MV titling under attack and review

    I still think this goes back to the Highway Patrol Inspector classifying your truck as "Not for highway use. The statutes quoted previuosly states: the Inspector is to verify the VIN, and determine the classification of the vehicle. Once he classified it as off road only, DOR can reject your...

    Missouri MV titling under attack and review

    Just throwing out a thought. If you could get a high ranking Highway Patrolman(I'm talking near the very top of their food-chain here) to overrule/overturn the previous determination of "Not for highway use", the Director of Revenue could then issue a title and registration for these trucks. I...

    Missouri MV titling under attack and review

    I think I found where they got you. From the Missouri Revised Statutes: Chapter 301 Registration and Licensing of Motor Vehicles Section 301 Section 301.010 Definitions. Now for subsection 9 of Section 301.190 So the State Trooper that wrote "Not for highway use" sealed your fate. If...

    Missouri MV titling under attack and review

    I forgot to add, It soumds like you will probably be traveling to Jeff City before this is over. Arrive at 8:00AM, and be prepared to spend some time there.

    Missouri MV titling under attack and review

    I would guess the problem is the lack of a conforming 17 digit VIN for the model year. It doesn't look good regardless.

    Found a Coleman Tug

    Probably has a Chrysler industrial 361 cubic inch gasoline motor. Same engine family as the 383(a high performance engine for the younger crowd).

    Pulling 2 M101 trailers

    I purchased two M101's about 150 miles from me, and added a pintle to the back of one to pull the other. The rear crossmember of a 101 is not tall enough for all four bolts of a pintle. I took a piece of 1/4" thick 2" angle iron and bolted the bottom two holes of the pintle to it. Clamp the...

    what 6 x 6 is this?

    A 3.9(4 cylinder) Cummins might fit, but I don't think you will ever get a 5.9(6 cylinder) in there. As Matt pointed out, the engine compartment is very cramped, both length-wise and width-wise. Dodge only offered inline engines during that era, so the intrusion of the steering box was of no...
