Oh, just in case no-one remembers... I'm over in Yellow U5/T9... Back row of the section on at the lower end of the hill...
It's the location of the Friday night BBQ...(with ribs...).
I'll also have my parts collection for sale, and will have stuff that I am hauling up for folks.
I'll...
Doc, I eat small food all the time... You know; whole chickens, hams, hamburgers, steak biscuits, stuff you can hold in one hand while driving...aka "road food"...
I didn't say that I ate small quantities... :)
Gimp, I have room in this vehicle for the blond, brunette, and redhead... :jumpin:
I am making a run from Raleigh, NC down to Covington, GA, on March 31st to pick up some items that I can haul in my Suburban. I may be picking up a small trailer along the way for a buddy... Once I pick up the stuff in Covington, I'm headed up to Syria, VA, to deliver the stuff that I am...
I just sent a PM to Dudley with some thoughts... :)
The East Coast Convoy party will be on Friday night in my area as usual. I have a couple folks who want me to bring up my MKT although I am debating that still... I can do everything I really need without it (BBQ and Ribs with fixings this...
I'm still planning on attending, and can still bring the MKT... The menue looks very "doable" to me. I'll most likely be there early Friday morning (like last year), so if somebody wants to join me for lunch that day that's be ok as well...
Ferro, let me know closer to the date if you are...
You may want to add in a relay to your lighting circuit if you haven't already. I didn't when I first did my conversion (thinking that I wasn't going to be stressing the setup too much running 70/75w burners), but I found out that could easily trip the stock circuit breaker whenever I hooked...
We will be running the East Coast Convoy to the rally again this year... :) The Southern Serial will be headed right up I-85 on Wednesday night on our way up from NC and points south to our overnight stop in Doswell, VA. I'm sure that we can snag stuff from Stampy if needed since we already...
As mentioned, Tom at Snake River has very nice reproduction metal bits for the troop seats and side racks if you need them.
I have the dimensions for the wood pieces on my website at:
Bed Wood
A B1 model would have had the spare over the door, an early model would have had it in the bed with...
I would take one of the U-bolts off the truck with me (or from a donor) to my local heavy truck shop (such as Fleetpride) and have them make up a set of new ones... The local shop here in Raleigh charged me something like $50 last time I had a set made up (four bolts with washers and nuts...)...
Try Alan at Berg Tire in Fayetteville, NC. He has great prices and wonderful customer service. I've purchased a LOT of Michelin 1100r20 XZL's from him (brand new). Don't know if he has any in stock as they don't sit in the warehouse for long...
He also is my "go to guy" for Goodyear and...
Piedmont Truck Tire in Raleigh should have radial tubes for that size tire, or can get them. I also have a bunch of them at the house, but mine are all long stem, same as the ones that Tanner has on his truck with the 1100r16 Michelins in my yard...
I usually get my radial tubes from Rusty at...
I sent this posting to a buddy who has a lowbow over in Syria who performs heavy hauling in that area (used to haul for James River, now moslty hauls for a local contractor) who has hauled stuff for me. I'll let you know if he is interested...
It's pretty simple, but I'd have to stick my head under the dash of mine to tell you how it all hooks up, and my '51 is currently on a movie set in VA...
The starter is a direct foot push. The electrical switch turns on the juice for the instrument cluster, lights, and the power feed to the...
Hmmmm.
The plug on my M38 (and on a buddy's M38A1) match that on the M37, XM813, etc., in my yard. I have actually plugged my M416 into the five ton for a trip down the road (long story, and I did not take any photos...).
I'd change the socket on the jeep instead of the trailer... You can...
Mine is covered in detail at:
1953 Dodge M37
I need to update the info on the XM708 restoration, and to update the transmission info on the Cummins powered M37, but you'll get the gist of things... :)
I've got electric start on my M274a5 and love it...but, to answer your question:

Any of the rims on a duece should bolt right up... They are all the same (both on the truck and on the trailer...).
So, yes you can use the wheels from your truck to get your trailer home.
