    Classifieds... Only place for ads?

    I prefer to see them in the forum...Heck, if you don't want them in the related five ton, m37, trailer, etc. forums, create one just for stuff to sell... I "never" look at the classifieds (just don't think about it), but notice things in the forums (especially since I use the "posted since...

    M817 dumps in Columbus, OH

    Got the email from GL today with the paid in full invoice attached... So it looks like the folks who review the paperwork (EUC's) still like me... :) Now, to figure out how to get it off their yard on a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday sometime in the next fourteen business days given that I am...

    Aberdeen 2007

    My vote for chili would be Thursday... The last couple years, after driving up and arriving on Thursday having an "easy" meal at the camp has been good (pasta, chili, etc. where you don't have to work too hard to fix it, and you don't have to clean up after the long drive to eat it). A lot of...

    Rain Cap Flapper

    Yep, it's why I use a metal can on the M35A2 (water tanker..). More inertia when it hits... longer roll. :) We talked about shooting cans for distance at Aberdeen on another thread, but since I will have the wrong truck, perhaps I should judge???

    Rain Cap Flapper

    I've got a flapper on my '83 M35A2C (ex USAF). Works really well, and I don't have to install/remove the big gulp...

    Aberdeen 2007

    Convoy T-shirts for those who ordered them and asked for them to be shipped got mailed this morning. There is still time to reserve a T-shirt although time is getting short for USPS delivery before the Convoy so shirt orders from non until the show will have to be picked up (unless you want...

    Deuce radio antenna, 5 ton style

    Well, I just got a box from Jeff at Tactical Truck with the antenna mount setup from a dump/tractor that mounts the antenna over the vent window just in front of the driver's door... I'll take pictures of it all when I gets mounted on my truck (assuming that I can find the camera...I seem to...

    OK, the table that I sent Gasser at the bottom of the Yellow Serial route info for him to post on the website seems to have gotten dropped and it doesn't look like it wants to post here in a readable format... (I'm computer challenged...). So: Leave Doswell at: 8:30AM Leave Millersville at...

    M38 Project...Done...

    Boy, I can't wait to get my Mule done so I can get to work trying to make my '52 M38 look like this one... Nice work. Where did you get the hat channels for under the floorboards? When I talked to John Bizal the other day (got a bunch of small parts from him), he said that he was not yet...

    Parking Brake Adjustment

    There is an adjusting nut on the end of the cable where it attaches to the shoes at the t-case end. You run out the adjustment at the handle, take up the slack on the t-case end, and you will be good to go for a long time (or until you wear off enough friction material that you have to reline...

    CG 107/U coax cable

    I'll ask one of my coworkers about this... He seems to have a very interesting collection of surplus radio gear that he shares from time to time that he collected over the years while recreating his setup from Vietnam (he was a commo weannie... :) ). I'll see if he has a spare long cable...

    U-joint replacement

    I got my u-joints from Ted Hills... Same price as TNJ Murray, but I like talking to Karen... :) Took longer than I had hoped to get them swapped out, as usual, one of the caps just didn't want to play nice... Job is done, time to move onto the little truck and replace some on it (will...

    M105 Lights

    RE: Re: RE: M105 Go to the Olive-Drab website... Look on the TM download page (I'll plug the URL in below so you can find it easily...). Look at the pages with both the full listing of circuit numbers (will show that your combination pair is: Turn signal switch to left rear stop lamp - a...

    Register for the East Coast Convoy!

    Ahhh, what we used to call (and still do actually) in Madison County "pure mountain spring water".... And yes, there is a story behind that (water in the tea jug, good stuff in the water jug) that is best told in detail when having a snort... A nip would bring back some wonderful...

    How Much do I need?

    For that matter, priming the whole truck in one color of primer will make the final color more uniform. Not that many of us worry too much on a MV, but you can affect the color of the topcoat with different underlying colors, even with mulitple, thick, coats of Gillespie, etc... I've done it...

    Okay - so I'm now an M37 owner... additional pics

    RE: Okay - so I Hood markings got assigned as the vehicle was built and shipped to the military. They stayed with the truck it's entire life. Bumper numbers got applied when assigned to a unit and would get changed when the truck was assigned to a new unit. Unfortunately, records on...

    What's Different About Canadian Trucks

    Drool... I keep thinking that a 265 in my little dumptruck would be nice... I think the specs on a factory 265 from Dodge had them at 105hp... Plenty to move you down the road if a tad thirsty... Thanks for sharing.
