I know that the 2 M813 5Ts that we had in my reserve unit, the 1966 had the tube-frame and the 1972 had the flat bar type. I recall that while I preferred the 1966 truck (less tempermental except the gearbox which had lost all its synchros) I liked the sturdiness of the flat-bar grille. Mainly...

Aw, crud, I was gonna check those before they ended. Well, less money spent.

We had the 6-71s and a 6V53 on boats when I was on the ship in the Navy. Those flapper door emergency shutdowns were a pain, especially on the 6V53 because engine vibration would trip it at inopportune moments. We had a set of runaway procedures that included a CO2 fire extinguisher. All USN...

The stopping where they want to is a well known common GM wiper problem. My Citation (yes, I had a 1980 Citation) wipers did the same thing. My sister's '79 K5 Blazer too. One of the CUCVs we had in my Reserve unit, and the non-CUCV Blazer also had non-parking wipers. I think parking wipers...

It's $150 for things that need an EUC. Those show up with a $150 starting price even before bidding starts. I believe most everything else starts at $50, though the price will show $0 when no bids are placed. I suppose they could have "reserve price" auctions but I've never seen one. I...

Welcome, welcome. I was at Ft Lewis last week, and managed to get lost (again). You know you're off course when you see tank trails... When I was in Egypt with my unit I got to ride in (not drive, unfortunately) a Soviet-built tanker truck. They were refueling all our Mobile Sensor Platforms...

In Washington State that won't work. The State Patrol will not even consider inspecting a MV without an SF97. The thing is, you don't need an inspection if you HAVE the SF97, so it's moot. The reason I got from the State Patrol was without the SF97 they cannot determine if the vehicle (or...

I'll post stories in the proper forum. I'd be up for a meet if I can swing it- tend to keep busy with my other love, vintage race boats. They too have a military connection- the engines are from WWII Warbirds (Allison V1710s and Rolls-Royce Merlins, both of which are V12s).

Aaron, I wouldn't expect there'd be much use for a truck on a sub. My ship (when I was active) had forklifts... But I spent close to 6 months with my Reserve unit at SUBBASE Bangor (WA) in 2002, we had our poor excuse for a "Motor pool" there for a while before we moved it to Manchester. I...

Hello all My name is Doug, I'm from (near) Tacoma, WA. Just joined the site to look around. I have a 1971 (at least that's what the title says) M35A2 that I bought from GL in April and drove home June 1st. I finally got plates on it in August after a somewhat prolonged battle that was caused...
