    SEABEE Truck Paint Color

    I know there is another thread on this, but something about a "security token" won't let me search for it. Several months ago I sent large Aervoe paint samples to the SEABEE Museum at Port Hueneme California, to try & determine correct color for VietNam era trucks. Museum director says best...

    What size tires?

    An easy one. Does an M38A1 use the same size (600-16) tires as the Mighty Mite? Thanks, Eric CBVET

    CARC spray cans?

    Just picked up a Deuce with the green/brown/black CARC paint. Needs some touch-up. Is there any spray can paint available that matches well? Can anyone tell me the paint color numbers? Thanks for the help! Eric CBVET

    Suicide Budds?

    Well, I stopped by a Firestone dealer that I've done business with for 20 years. They sell car, truck, & implement tires. Asked if they could fix my M900 series, 2-piece wheel, with a slow leak. He said "Those are suicide Budds, we don't work on them". When I asked what he was talking about, he...

    Finding User Names

    Am I missing something when I use the member list? Is there an easier way to find a specific name than just working through the list? Using alphabetical listings, is there a way to skip to the "Ms" or "Rs" or whatever? Thanks, Eric CBVET

    Gasser gaskets?

    Anyone know a source for engine gaskets for Deuce gassers? Need valve cover gaskets right now for 2 trucks. I know I could make them or use RTV, I'd just rather get originals. Memphis & Saturn don't have them. Eric CBVET

Peaked roof. Body is bolted down to original bed sides, front, & back. Vinyl cover kinda hides the metal...

    FWIW, I've been running my M813A1 on 25% filtered waste motor oil for a little over 200 miles. It's running great! Eric CBVET

    Who needs shoes?

    In with Mighty Mite parts, found 2 Mule brake shoes. FSN 2530-065-7542. They are probably relined, may be new. Definitely new linings. Anybody need them? Offer some kind of trade. I have Mite & 2 M35s. Collect some other militaria. Eric CBVET

    Viewing classifieds

    When viewing classifieds, I see the title, & a blank area where there may be printing, but it's so faint I can't read it. If I open the ad, I get the info, but that's a slow way to go. Any way to correct? Thanks for all you do, Eric CBVET

    No axle vents!

    My buddy drove the 1952 M35 about 5 miles to my place to lube & inspect. Was checking differentials & noticed slight pressure in housing when I removed the fill plug. Also appears to be a slight outer axle seal leak. I've read about the axle vents plugging-up, & figured I had to clean them...

    50/50 Mix for Multi

    Starting today, I'm running a mix of 1/2 unleaded gas & 1/2 filtered used oil. Oil is a little bit of everything I guess. I run it through 100 micron, 20 micron, & 1 micron sock filters. I don't heat the oil. Just pump it through the filters with a Harbor Freight hand pump. Takes about 6 casual...

    Goodyear Tread Pattern

    I just realized that the two 1400-20 Goodyear AT-2A tires I just got have a somewhat directional pattern to the tread. They're on 900 series wheels, both mounted in the same direction. I want to put them on the front of my M813. Is there a reason I would HAVE to turn one tire around, or is it...

    A couple of questions

    M813A1 with Cummins. No sticker on tach. What's safe maximum RPM? 1400-20 tires, 151" to 152" circumference. What should vehicle speed be, say in 5th at 2000 RPM? Can someone tell me the formula for different RPMs? Okay, that's 3 questions. But I know you can handle it. Thanks, Eric CBVET

    More Tire Questions

    Need help from all you tire experts. Got an option on 2 Goodyear 1400R20 AT-2A tires. Mounted on wheels for 900 series truck. Will these wheels fit on my M813, currently with Michelin 1400R20 singles? Will these tires work on the 20-bolt combat wheels? Would these Goodyear tires be the same...

    Making a dump?

    A buddy has a 1975 Am General M813A1 with winch. He wants to put a dump bed with hoist from another (civilian) truck on this chassis. Wants to know whats required to run the hoist. I'm guessing he needs a PTO with front & rear outputs to run the pump, right? Anyone know where to get a dual PTO...
