I have outfitted a almost bare MKT 85 with ranges and burners obtained from Ebay and Govliquidation which at times have had brand new never issued ranges complete with all kitchen hand tools. Search terms which work are stove, oven, mbu burner, range , etc. You may want to look at GL site very...

Just do not end up like the Ohio DOT, one unit ordered cab over single axle dump trucks, another unit ordered monster front mounted snow plows.... when mounted the plows pulled the rear axle off the ground and if the trucks were loaded to keep the rears down then they were overweight. Mark

You would be surprised what a difference a dirt tract race car header muffler makes on a loud open header car. They are straight through and various lengths and diameters.

Welcome from your southern WV neighbor. You will find lots of stuff to have fun with this Army Iron. Save your dough and get as good a running truck as you can get. I have had Studebaker WWII 6x6, Willys MB in past and now have a M35 and M925 5 ton to play with. Mark

My 1984 M925 will not shift into reverse in low range . Speed tag on dash says reverse in low range is a no no. Some one said to prevent transfer case trouble. Mark

Welcome to the site and the world of Army Iron. I am always fond of steering and stopping in vehicles I have. It is not fun when clutch pedals fall to floor (happened to me) or steering wheel actually comes off in the driver's hands while going down the road( my cousin's MG TD). If you are not...

Sounds good to talk to better half on trip as long as you do not keep hearing ....What did you buy that for??????? Did you really need it?????? What a hunk of junk...... Not again.........

Got the hauling covered by 1984 Chevy 1 ton 4x4 with standard transmission ,no problem pulling and stopping with a MKT trailer towed and a Hummer trailer in the truck's bed. I like slow and steady when I am towing and lots of time I avoid Interstates and use other routes which provides more...

One idea borrowed from emergency power trailers, they mount pulley on wheel hub and turn alternator to charge batteries while under tow.

Welcome to the green madness!! No cure known to man which may lead to ownership of 5 ton and deuce presently with Willys MB and Studebaker WWII 6x6 in my past. Mark

Keeping eyes on road instead of head down while reaching in floor for transfer shifter ? You know switches on shifter must be a good idea or high/low switch on Eatons would be on dash!! Keep up project and take pictures along the way. Mark

If you watch the GL sales or Ebay, there are lots of the ovens, pans and burners in the sales, usually in Oklahoma, Ohio, and Florida that I have see. I started with a trailer with no ovens or burners and slowly over about 6 months got enough stuff to outfit it, including brand new oven/pan/...

Good luck........ Take lots of pictures for you Build Book of your ownership and modifications, painting, fixing, . Remember two sayings..... Rome was not built in a day!!! Take your time ,this truck stuff is a slow process. Second piece of advice..... Like owning a battleship, do not start...

THANKS GUYS GL must be slooooow today as item now shows up on bid history with me as high bidder. I display gas engines at old engine shows and need a open trailer to mount an engine and a piston pump to circulate water through waterfalls, water wheels, and valves in a kid friendly...

I had a truck at Indy and found Bob Rainville , local guy at Indy who did preview of truck and helped get me to local truck stop and out of town.Nice guy and reasonable cost for a set of eyes on truck so far away. BOB RAINVILLE (317) 710-2240 He previewed a truck and later picked up a...

Good trip , glad you made it home in one piece with a historical unit. Glad you didn't shake loose 60 years of tank crud to the fuel pump and carb. Uncle Sam bought gas by the millions of gallons so MPG not a deal killer for Army. I had a Studebaker WWII 6x6 cab and chassis and she was a hoot...

Wix or NAPA(made by wix?) and Valvolene All Fleet Plus 15W40 I ran a VW diesel almost 200,00 miles on All Fleet and on tear down there was not even a wear pattern on the cam lobes and the crank was just polished!! Mark

Thanks guys I will check the bolt and clamp gap. That is a new one one me to use a pop can as shim strip. I once fixed an inner fender on a VW where two sheet metal valleys meet by cutting the ends out of a DAD's Root Beer can and split the side and POP Rivets to hold in place till I got...
