    SF-97 help needed for trailer without year or make, and 2 models #'s....

    Actually I think that they are a little confused but that is o.k. The reason for me saying this is that the SF-97 will show GL as purchasing the item from Uncle Sam and so at that time they (GL) are the owner. What GL will provide to you that you will need is the bill of sale from them to you...

    SF-97 help needed for trailer without year or make, and 2 models #'s....

    keithf, If your trailer is a M101 use that but if you have a 105 trailer then by all means use that model number. The invoice is an informal document used to get it to you and off the base, etc. The important documents are the SF-97, the bill of sale from GL to you, and the SF-97 reassignment...

    Help: M1009 Tire purchase tomorrow

    All CUCVs except the M1009 have 16 inch tires & wheels. The M1009 has 15 inch tires and wheels. With 33 inch tires you can comfortabley maintain 70 miles per hour all day long and the engine RPM is still slightly less than with the OEM 31x10:50 x 15 tires. Good luck jimm1009 PS: the...

    Help: M1009 Tire purchase tomorrow

    I would say that it depends on the condition of your front springs, My M1009 has had 33 inch tires for 15 years and except during extreme 4x4 playing I have had no damage to tire or fenders. I did install new front springs but they were stock height and without lift. Rear springs are 25 years...

    Deuce Help.. OPINIONS PLEASE...

    Yes but those dag-gone mules keep busting the fences to eat on the other side. Greener grass over there. :razz: Take some pictures of the dash board area and specfically the area just to the left of the glove box / lower area of the glass in the windshield. If you have two data plates that...

    registration number?

    The serial number should be stamped into the frame in one of two areas. With that information David and/or Carnac can probably help you. Use a small steel brush and some MEK or Acetone and clean the paint in the area just to the rear of the steering gearbox mounting area and also just forward of...

    registration number?

    Examples are 04J01968 or NKO4J4 or 04M1934 The registration number is not the same as the serial number. s/n examples: 0125-12465 or 0325-54398 Louisiana allows this too as does Indiana and a few other states. jimm1009 [thumbzup]

    How long at Battle Creek?

    My co-worker made a purchase on 02/03/10 and his EUC was double checked by GL in three days (fast servcie there) and then sent to B.C. where it has fallen off someone desk and no word on what the hold up is. Get this, no one in G.L. Management has the authority to call B.C. and ask them if they...

    11:00 x 20 NDT tires

    Historically speaking NDT tires are not correct for the M35 series Deuce as they were not issued on Deuces from the factory. What I am wondering is if anyone has actually installed the 11:00 x 20 NDT tires on their deuce (Not NDCC style) and noticed a difference in wet or dry performance and...

    what keys???

    Check out a quality old fashioned locksmith too just for comparision. They might surprise you in price if you have everything removed. I purchased my ignigition and door locks at Pep Boys except and the tailgate lock came from the local Chevy dealer. LMC Truck may also have these locks now...

    what keys???

    It was and is a B key but if you ever want to add an electric tailgate you will need to move up to a K key or so. It is still the round key commonly called the trunk key or door key but with a slightly different groove down the sides. You can get a new set of locks and have them all rekeyed or...

    Belt routing. What am I doing wrong?

    I can take a picture of my M1009 when I get home tonight but that is the best I can do since I'm already at work today. PM or e-mail me your e-mail address after lunch time if you still need some help. Perhaps in the mean time someone else can take a picture of a M1009 or M1008 engine to help...

    Removing lug and budd nuts!

    The studs are marked with and L or and R on the end. Knock the paint off and you should see the stamped mark. The nuts are usually marked too but it is lighter and harder to read. If you are facing the side of the truck look down at the top of the wheel stud. If the threads point out towards...

    Parking and headlights at the same time?

    You can do that very simply but they can not ticket you for something that works exactly as designed. Look at the old jeeps, old volkswagens, and early mustangs too. The parking lights come on in the first position then the second position is the head and tail lights but the parking lights are...

    Kaiser jeep or Am General

    The dash for the gasser had a narrower removable panel due to not originally having a tachometer. I think that they made an entirely new panel during conversion and centered the tach and speedometer as best they could at the top and then with the remaining gages grouped together below. Perhaps...
