I just won an 1102 trailer at ft. bragg I need it taken off the base and stored for a bit until I can either come down and get it or arrange to have it shipped to me. I needed the bed for my next bobbed deuce Im going to disassemble it and sell off the tires, axle, and surge brake I can be...

Im going to do a bobbed deuce this spring and like usual I cant do things the conventional way Im considering putting some axles from a 923 under the truck. I want the safety of dual circuit air brakes and the availability of five ton rim tire combinations are a consideration as well. I think...

I had my newer 923 in a parade this last weekend and went to put it into low range it shifted right in perfectly but I couldnt get it to go into neutral to lock the parking brake. The selector would stop half way between drive and park and if you shut the truck down it wouldnt start because of...

A well deserved thanks goes out to you Andy (MAGNUM) he went to jefferson city GL yard and drove my 923 to his house and stored it for me so I was able to get it this weekend and not have to miss any work. If that wasnt enough he drove it down to the motel where me and my chaser were staying for...

I bought a nice CJ3A a while back and have started to give it a facelift since most military jeeps are out of my price range I have decided to make a M38 clone. I have a real nice base to work with virtually rust free at one time it was retubbed with a surry jeep tub so I took the jeep and sold...

I have a couple saint patricks day parades to do for the local vets organizations so I remounted the train horn this week made a new stanchion for mounting it where the spare tire crane was. Had to go out to breakfast this morning and meet some friends so I fired it up in 12 degree temps this...

I found this in my friends junk yard today sheetmetal is pretty much scrap but it has an intact drive line he said I could have it for 500 bucks there is no paperwork. I put this up hoping the jeep experts would help me out as to what year it was manufactured if there is some money to be made by...

A while back I had bought a nice set of train horns from a member here for my parade truck the crowds loved it so as with all hobbies went from expensive to real expensive. Picture one is the leslie RS3L set I first installed on the roof which turned out to be a bit heavy so I welded up a...

I have a 1028 thats giving me fits trying to solve the gen 1 light going on with the heater fan. I have checked the voltage both batteries have a full charge even with driving this truck around for a month now the batteries have the correct volts when checked with the truck shut off and the 14...

I had some spare time today so I gave my 1028 a new coat of CARC it had a couple spots that needed attention (rust issues) so I cut them out and welded in new metal after work last week so today was devoted to paint. I picked up the truck for a winter driver, firewood hauler it was listed as a...

After quitting my job I had for 23 years I needed a truck to drive for the winter I had a company truck to drive so my MVs were stored inside for the winter. I have a cherry 1009 so its not going out into the rust belt winter salt so I looked for a truck I could use. As luck would have it they...

It took all weekend but they are installed and functional these are pretty heavy and even a steel hard top needed extra bracing to support them. I bought them from a SS member they were disassembled for packing into a box after I got them together and painted I made a base for them it wasnt...

After going over my 813 this morning trying to find a cause for the minor rise in coolant temp yesterday I found the problem. I drained out all the black antifreeze this morning and am looking for the P/N for the oil cooler seals I have been all over the old threads and five ton spread sheet and...

Today I did a parade and the coolant temperature was up to 210 most of the day the truck always stayed at 180 even in much hotter temps. I need to do another parade monday and would like to get this fixed before I take it out again.

Since I made it home a day early from poofstock due to crappy weather I got a little bored and made some sideracks for the bobber. I used fiberglass slats from some old troop seats and bolted them to the original 1102 bow stanchions. The tarp fits right over them and they add much more rigidity...

Finally got the three color done on the truck today it goes to the media blaster this next week to have the over spray blasted off the rear tires. The paint on those rear tires is so thick they must have used a roller to put it on now just waiting for the LED clearance lights I ordered and I...
