Has anyone used this company? Do the prices seem in line for the products offered? Should I use the water based CARC paint for my resto and what are the advantages in this besides clean up? Thanks in advance for the help! http://www.milspray.com/products.html

All, Looked in the TM section and did not notice anything. First, did I just miss it and if not, second, does anyone have one in a PDF format or such for e-mail? Thanks in advance for your help!

All, If you followed my M813 dump conversion thread you know that it ended at the point of fabbing up the removable dump bed. Well, I'm ready! So, I am looking for a five ton dump body or a five ton 14' cargo bed (no dropside) or any other interesting :idea:s that you all might have lying...

Well, I went and did it. After weeks of teens and twenties outside with the single intake glow plug giving all she had, I had it. :evil: Sure, the truck would start eventually, after pumping and cranking and pumping and cranking, wearing out my starter and discharging my batteries. :cry: I...

I've called several suppliers for a PTO shaft seal for my five ton winch all to no avail...... Does anyone have one to sell or know of a supplier who DEFINITELY carry them? Thanks everyone!

Well, another little project! I got tired of grabbing a ladder from the shop every time I wanted to get under the hood of my truck and I got tired of walking all over my winch. So, necessity is the mother of invention and we have a ladder and a deck! I have ordered non skid strips for the...

I did a search for MV clubs near central VA and came up with rooty toot shoot boot. (my own design) Perhaps a forum section for club listings, contact info and meeting times/places? Unless it already exists.........

Does it really matter Mark if it is not a torque wrench? As long as it fits....... Or are you looking for the "correct" handle?

I had this top I got from Bruce a while back and today I decided to tackle the project-alone. So, what do you think? I had no instructions or help, did I do it right? I did not put the rear curtain in yet as I need easy access.

What size flange nuts are used to connect the wheel halves on a 5 ton super single rim? My 3/4-16 tap does not quite work on the nuts I have. Is it an odd size like 3/4-18? Who carries something like this? Thank you in advance.

I did not see a specific forum for this subject so I placed it here in aux equipment. Does anyone have or deal in OD heavy equipment? Post up some pics or stories if you have some! I have not seen this subject broached as of yet.

I'm sure this topic has been covered before............ Recently some folks (me included) have been looking for valve stems. I needed three for my five ton single combat rims and found them at Memphis Equipment for almost $30 each. Thinking that I could do better I began the quest. I found a...

Well, it is official, my work schedule permits Aberdeen 2007! I am stoked! (here I thought I was going to have to quit my job.) Me and a buddy are going to drive up from Fredericksburg, Va in my converted dump USMC M813-A1 on Thursday morning and stay 'till Friday p.m., I might be with Bruce if...

Does anyone know of a vendor that has or can get valve stems for the 5 ton single combat rims?

Used to be that when I turned on the fuel heater the indicator light would go on full bright and the other morning it came on like usual and then dimmed down to almost nothing! What gives? I am getting about 2.7 volts to the heating element when the switch is on and about 10.7 volts to the...

I posted a wanted ad for one of these but it has not posted yet so let me ask- Does anyone have (one) 5-ton super single wheel for sale? Thanks, Eddie

Picked up my M813 two weeks ago and have not had alot of time to check things out but I do have one question- are ya'll ready for this one? How do you engage the front axle? This truck is a USMC version M813-A1, 1977 vintage and I can find no switches or buttons or levers to engage the axle. Is...

I have a M813 with the 14' ISO bed and I want to convert it to a dump without losing the look it has now. My idea is to use a commercial style dump bed hinge at the rear and a scissor type hoist underneath the ISO bed. This would make the truck appear stock w/the exception of seeing the rear...

Hello! Let me begin by saying that you guys have a GREAT forum with alot of information. I did read the new members section and even tried a few testing posts! But enough of that. Last week my wife and I went to pick up our '72 M35 and drove it home 235 miles. I will be converting the original...
