Totally awesome!! Its great to see another recovery of an old truck and an abundance of nos parts! I am very sure they will be well catalogued and put to use on proper restoration projects. I am totally green with envy.

Peashooter, I have a quick question for you. Your adaptor plates for MRAP rims to 6 lugs are steel right? Mild? Medium or High carbon content? Are there concerns about warping or fatigue cracks? Do you only mount them to the steel version of the MRAP rims or the aluminum ones as well? Steel on...

Doing crazy stuff! Think we are all doing crazy stuff every day we work on our rigs.lol we have to be crazy to enjoy these beasts!! Bwahahahaha! Though I haven't done anything with a larger truck.... yet. I have done my share of crazy stuff in my youth. 4x4ing with my 71 Volkswagen beetle...

The king machine, I know of a couple parts trucks and others for sale in bc as well. The problem I am concerned with isn't so much to do with parts trucks. If one of my axles packs it in I don't want to have to buy a whole wreck just to obtain one axle. Of course the adverse is if I just want to...

50-50 off set? To bad that isn't available in a deuce rim. I would think you shouldn't have any rubbing. I am not exactly sure what normal offset is on a standard MRAP rim but they look like they are 8 to 10 inches of back spacing. If the hub face is centre line in the rim you would have a...

Rustystud, could you strip a 4X4 international and roll the chassis across the border for me? I look for any model medium duty trucks and rarely see any internationals. Usually only a 4x2. Which is just a posi rear end isn't it? Gonna have to research. Who among us doesn't have a bit of a God...

International 4x4 would be great!! Seems they are as rare as hens teeth or a fart in a jar. Still have lots of time to look unless my stocks blow up on first try. Most internationals have 2 speed rear ends don't they?

I do plan on using my stock axles till they give up. I am looking for modern equivalent axles for the future. Was thinking GMC Topkick. 4x4. I again only asked about the Dana 80 axles because the were a steal. If I had a M37 would have grabbed then in a heartbeat. As far as going faster. ... I...

That's great!! I am glad the rig and the parts will be preserved for future builds or repairs. Way to go team green!!!

Tell me about it.!! I'm closer and would be on it like a soldier on his last ammo clip in the middle of a fire fight!!! To bad I don't have 2500 just sitting around. Is that just for the truck? What is the asking price for the parts stock pile?? Maybe our local Northen preservation expert who...

Hmmm tough choice!!! I am a little partial to the lighter olive drab which is seen in the old combat green uniforms before the God awful digital stuff came out. However my eyes keep getting drawn to the M211 in the pic. I am not really a big fan of the tri color camo paint style but that one...

Holy moly! At ease troop!! This thread wasn't started to create pissing matches. While all information pertaining to real world and factual detail on capabilities of the differing trucks is great. I am an info junkie, the threat was started to find a modern equivalent I could switch my old axles...

Awesome!!! Hehehehehe. Gonna see if I can get my mill to order a 5 gallon pail. They are buying tons of speed enamal paint for an expansion build of the planer and sort bins. If I slip a print out of this into the pile of out going orders you never know what will happen! Bwahahahaaha!! Is it...

I plan to use my truck. It will not be a toy to go for Sunday drives in. I have a ranch with farm equipment that breaks down and would like to have a good deal of my tools on board for field repairs. I also will be hauling live stock, hay, feed, equipment, etc. Save the keep it stock thoughts...

Hey!! I'm a General now?! Didn't think I knew enough for that promotion!! First platoon fall in! Riiiight dress!!! Aaaaattennnnnntion!! At ease. Here it is troop! The lower planes of the abyss must have frozen over. The powers that be found it in their infinite wisdom to put me in charge of...

Gonna have to find time to 're read the whole thread to see qhat all i have missed. I am just frothing at the mouth about the 22.5 inch wheel conversion and the air brake set up. Come on warm dry weather. You guys need to get back at it so we can all drool over your efforts.

I have only ever seen one of those FC jeeps myself. It was for sale, 2500 I think. Probably still there to. They weren't very popular.

Oooooooooh! You found the hot spot in cold lake!!! I see a few things I would love to get my hands on. The grill, drive shafts, brake shoes and cylinders, emergency brake drum band, tires.... Welcome to the site.

Never stops amazing me how you manage to find all this great history!! The tractor conversion would be interesting to see.

Good thing the check valve issue was addressed. I was told by an old codger here a while ago that the M35 master cylinder has an internal check valve and would not work with my M135. Said it would cause the system to preasurize and not release. If a person continued to pump the brakes to get...
