Well, it's a bit of a drive for you, but the nation's oldest continuous Veterans' Day Parade is being held (once again) in Warsaw, NC. http://www.townofwarsawnc.com/localevents/index.htm Monroe, NC, is having a Veterans Day Celebration at the Monroe Airport (Monroe NC just East of Charlotte)...

Just got our lineup info for Saturday's Veterans Parade in Raleigh: We are in position #9. Our lineup location is Salisbury Street between Martin and Davie Streets. Our lineup position puts us between the Enloe High School Band (#8) and the Marine Corps League/Raleigh Young Marines (#10)...

I've got a complete windshield assembly that I pulled off a truck recently, but shipping it from NC to you would be expensive, and I have doubts that the glass would make it... Good luck with the recovery. Post photos. :)

A couple photos that I took three weeks ago at Winslow's of one dump that he was testing out by hauling some rock, and another one showing his line of tractors with a dump visible at the end...

My take on the drop in prices (and I could be woefully off, but hey...): The Chinese finished their Olympic building program (for the actual games) some time ago, Three River Gorges Dam (also in China) is no longer sucking up steel and cement like a giant black hole... For the rest of the...

Pictures help, but I don't have one... :( Perhaps FrankUSMC might know of someone (or have one himself) who could help... Hopefully, he will spot this thread and chime in.

I recently looked at a duece that had a Cummins 6BTA installed... Sweet running truck, much more grunt on the low end, faster on the top (is sporting super singles) that is using the stock transmision. From what I understand from its current owner, a Guard unit did the swap in house... I...

FWIW: John Winslow in Halifax, NC has serveral very clean M817's with winches on his yard that are priced very reasonable IMHO.

An 8D is about 7" longer and 5" wider than a 31... A chart with BCI Battery Group Sizes is located at: http://www.rtpnet.org/~teaa/bcigroup.html A downloadable chart in PDF form from Excide showing the specs of thier offerings (dimensions, CCA at both 0F and at 32F, terminal type, ect.) can be...

The MBU's (burners for the field ranges and mobile kitchen trailers, etc.) also require a 24v power source so the TM for the MKT's detail how to power the units by generator (along with using a slave cable to a truck or using a battery pack).

It's been a while since I looked under the dash of one of my dueces, but don't you also have the line to the guage...? I blew mine out on a five ton last week (still need to take pictures of the blown line and the new one). Scarry how fast I lost system pressure when that line went south...

I was down at Berg's last week getting a set of 1100r20 XL's for my XM813 and noticed that he had some good looking 16" XL's... Didn't have many in stock (in fack he doesn't have nearly the inventory in hand that he had last year, but he has been turning things over quickly so give him a call...

I was using a pair of used Group 31's in the XM813 (batteries came out of a wrecker that AMGeneral purchased a while back and I snagged them for my truck as the 6TL's in it were toast and we needed something in the box for the convoy home...). They died for good about a month ago and I...

RE: From the Army 1997 Weapon Systems book A buddy of mine has an A3 for sale for a very reasonable price right now... Only problem is that he got the truck several years ago (before they started to surplus running trucks) and the one he got had suffered severe front end damage (looks like it...

I'll pass this info onto our East Coast Convoy websmaster as he'll have to update that as well... BTW: registration for the 2009 convoy is active, and we have a dedication page on the site for our founder Bruce Kalin...

RE: Re: RE: USMC bumper mod. Good idea Mike, but Bruce had his Convoy sign mounted on the bumper in such a way that it blocks the hooks from view in my photos from both 2004 and 2005... I'll try to get some photos of the truck that I will measure so that they can be used a reference. The...

I have no personal experience siping or regrooving... Howerver, I have taken a lot of chunks out of hte blocks on my XL's over the years (1100r20 for the five tons, 1100r16 on a M37) in "regular" highway and farm use. I have not had problems with chunking on my XZL's on my M37 in a 900r16 but...

Don't have the dimensions handy (can snag them if no-one beats me to it), but do remember that the "paperclips" on a duece sit inboard a bit (about a foot) from the ends of the bumpers as opposed to the mounting location on a M37 (such as the photo of mine above that you are using as a...

A nice article on siping/grooving tires can be found at: http://www.4x4wire.com/tech/grooved_tires/ The guy in the article only worked on the center blockes of his tires in order to avoid chunking of the edge blocks. Bjorn has posted a few times on this site (including posting photos of his...
