It's just about getting order of operations correct. Get a track machine first, drive that in the swamp, keep the MV on dry ground and use it for rescue. We follow our trucks around with rescue gear and rarely hit the mud alone. Time for a team.

Post war trucks and cars had some sass to them. I like it. 1947Chevy dot com had a side view cab pic and it's close. Real nice example of a 47 2 ton it just doesn't say GMC. https://1947chevy.com/ There aren't a lot of 47 GMC trucks out there so that's a good save. Here's a quick photoshop...

Fill it, run it, drain it, fill it, run it, drain it, fill it, run it, drain it, fill it. Started to sound like a rap song. What a beautiful rig. Let's jump in and go do a 0-50mph run. I'd hope she just needs a good work over, a re-torque on every bolt, new fluids, check for cotter pins in the...

That's only you're 5th post so welcome aboard to the marvel mystery metal monitors of Steel Soldiers. Normally I wouldn't reply because I don't have your answer but you made me spit coffee so I had to say thank you. I expected to see different color shavings or some fine silver cream but when I...

I searched "tongue weight sweet spot" to better understand why the manufacturer data-plate had less than 10% tongue weight on your trailer. It was a big distraction and took hours to remember what I was supposed to be looking for.....maybe sweet spot was the wrong term. It was logical to...

I pulled a few longs apart and found oval housings like someone stepped on it. The Plate, assy or the plunger could be get hung up. There's a PM for the Early Deuce about removing a line and lubbing the large piston so maybe it's an easy solution. Then there's this in the Deuce forum...

It's a new fella from frozenada. Welcome aboard and let's go abroad. That's your first post so eventually these guys will give you instructions to get to Arizona or California so you can get warmed up. Within a year of signing on to SS I was loaded with truck parts and headed to Yuma to hang...

What's going on with CVSE and ICBC? If you're roaming does that mean they're helping again? Real good seeing that truck out in the scenery. We called tourism, CVSE, the weigh scales and transportation. We keep calling because they first told me the ban was about up-armoured MV's then heavy MV's...

Happy Anniversary! """"""" The M26 first saw action on the Italian Front of 1943 """"""" Great history write up over here...... https://sites.rootsweb.com/~mtygf/county/m26.htm The truck is still there and it's kindled a fire in me loins to look at bustin' her out. She's described as the...

This story should be sent to the truck manufacturer and Cat. We know it's not over with duration being the next test for the transmission and Cat engine.........but really, this was the lottery ticket. The truck is lucky it found you because....let's throw out a number......9 out of 10...

Very Cool new toy there. We had tractors just like that for landscaping in the 80's and with the bucket we could almost always push our way out of any hole we drove in. Very handy toys. "Bucket Low when you go" was used after we found out they flip easy with a loaded bucket up high. Driving...

Video and pics of the coverall boys in a craft store would be hilarious. We should be gender inclusive these days so hope it's ok I add this......for a friend.

Let's bump this up and make it big. The craft stores are going to see a bunch of 250lb guys in greasy, camo coveralls running in looking for modelling clay. Lots of applications for this brilliant idea. Thank you.

Alright Jellybean lovers, we need a distraction, let's do something fun....but nothing with balloons. I found a little budget to explore Jellybean more. Head gaskets aren't expensive if that's all it is. I have invented time to take stuff apart and look for problems. We're planning on good...

Many of us can stop the dreaming and put the tool pouches down. Our dreams have come true. Some folks with big family have often mentioned the dream of turning their 6x6 into a bus or camper. The ambition, tools and knowledge of taking on that task is the difference of "Wanting a 6x bus and...

Is that the deuce you bobbed in a day or are you working on something else already? Seano11 snuck some pictures out but let's see that beast now. I didn't even ask if I should post the pics he sent to me and you're closest to him so if you don't want these shared......get him. I wanted to get up...

Any hub heat? I had a brake drag on the deuce and it felt under powered. Driving around in neutral is interesting. It's easy to get the deuce in the air to set brakes and free spin the wheels but getting the 1070 in the air deserves photos. Hope it works out so we can see that truck in the...

Hey welcome aboard. That's your first post so the greeting committee will come along and all the advice will be free. I just chatted with the CVSE in B.C. about this. First they thought BS was banning vehicles with armor, then trucks over 4500kg, then anything green, then things that rhyme with...

Old threads with a perfect title need some pictures so I schpeculated you folks would like to see some color. I was going to wait until family hit the river valley to see if she's still there but let's jump the gun and get her up here. Maybe others can climb on and we can fill this thread...

Let's drop an easy link to the Goat Manuals from the TM link above. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/gamagoat-manuals.119161/ There are a lot of manuals so if we dig up a page number and some schematics of the attachment method it'll help future searchers working on the Goat. I got to...
