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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
magneticanomaly,
Dodge made the axles.
