And the rest of us can only dream of owning the one he's going to fix up and sell. Nothing wrong with BIG TRUCKS. Good luck with them.

I think most of the guys and gals on this site learned the terminology from the books. There are several out that explain the nominclature of the numbers used in the truck, on the truck and about the truck. There are alot of particulars and they have changed over the years from pre world war...

Bjorn, tell me you didn't do that to that truck (that closed cab commercial conversion?) Looks a bit unstable at best. By the way, I've still not found that info you wanted on our units fuel system. Most of ours looks original but there is some that looks like a 'field modification' with...

We get quite a few folks from the Ft. Wayne area over here. There are a couple of charterboat owners in the Port Clinton area that actually live over there. Yes, you can visit any time. The truck is stored at Beamer's Farm Service on County Road 24 just off Rt 4 south of Bellevue, Ohio Along...

not worried about the wood, but need the hardware, Thanks.

great adventure for sure, but now you know why I treat mine as RETIRED military trucks. That kind of stuff while fun for a few minutes get expensive in the end.

We, (the Firelands Military Vehicle Group) can vouch for what Bjorn is telling you, we also have one we're attempting to restore and he's helped us with parts location. There is NOTHING standard or "off the shelf" with this rig. Even the tires are wierd and difficult to get. But they ARE nice...

You can avoid the twist in it by doing one hitch one way and reversing it on the next and then back the way of the first again and so on. That will give you a ridge in the same place all the way along its length. It works even better with smaller line for the tighter areas that the para cord...

did he keep any of the hardware for the troop seats? Our "Group" is looking for two sets, we can get the wood easily enough, two of our members have a lumber mills. Do great work on deck timbers too.

The office responsible for the relics is the Tank and Automotive Command, Warren Michigan and its the Donations Department. There is a relativle new woman working there who replaced Marilyn about two years ago. They are getting real sticky about this stuff too. We ran into a situation where...

The process isn't difficult, you'd want to start it with a hitch, and then its just half-hitches run backwards. Each is pulled very snug and tapped tightly against the previous one. There is a website called Grog, that has interactive know tying where you can learn the basics. But if any of...

Merry christmas Having spent too many Christmas days doing Uncle Sam's bidding and becoming hardened to holidays in general, its nice to again be able to say Merry Christmas to someone and mean it. At first you miss them, and then its better to not think about them too much. But later in...

Don't think my post level is HIGH, but I only say something when I know something about it. And as far as volunteering to help with this, unfortunately, I'm a TECH-NO, and just barely able to access the site. Took me two years to figure how to get that picture in the corner. You REALLY don't...

It might have been a yard oiler at one time, ( a navy small tanker for refueling ships, also known as a YO) but it has has serious conversion from the looks of it, Looks to be listing a bit too while being towed out. that is an issue if they were going any distance. Those "oil cans" can be...

Where is NW Ohio, we've got a 211 the club is going to be retoring soon and need a radiator and some other pieces.:?:

Maybe now a couple of women I know will think about not "lurking about" as guests and become registered "OD Green Disease" sufferers like the rest. They belong to our club and visit this site regularly but have been a little timid about joining. There is nothing timid about the way they...

Another that agrees with ksM715, you vote or you don't complain. And those us us who served have an even greater responsibility to vote. Sort of looking at it the way the orientals do saving a life. You're responsible for it for the rest of yours. So you served, you took your chance, sttod...

They don't like anything over 70 much, and mine was stenciled 55 on the dash, the 890, (two wheel version) also had 55 max. speed limit stenciled in it. With good tires, they'll do 70 plus, just remember is "Norwegian Steam Steering" though.:sad:
