I am not looking for this surprisingly obscure part...anymore. This is an FYI posting for those who are, or may be in the future, in search of this part.
I replaced my steering wheel and horn cable recently and during the project this contact broke. It is located at the bottom of the...
I am assuming you have the M809 series Ross steering gear?? I just replaced my horn wire about a month ago. When I purchased a horn button kit (the newer smaller horn button) the instructions (and a new wire) for replacing the old wire in the 809 series steering column were included. I can...
That's a mighty handsome CCKW you got there. I love the short w/b. Kind of looks like my truck's grandfather:wink: The WWII Deuces always remind me of my old friend Uncle Rich. He drove with the Red Ball Express. God rest his soul.
Some pics for ideas. Consult your state/local vehicle code. Your results may vary. See link below for details of rear plate/light mounting.

Attended a brief ceremony at our City Hall courtyard at 0659PDT (South Tower Collapse) when a bell was rung, 0700 minute of silence and at 0701 sirens sounded. Amazing Grace on bagpipes, flags lowered to half staff followed by Taps.
Watched all six parts of Discovery Rising: Rebuilding Ground...
Ahh, you'll get used to it. For me it's just hard to find good help and the time to do things with my truck.
As far as your fuel problem goes, I had the exact same issue. Once you replace pretty much everything rubber from tanks to you IP you will be golden. My truck ran great after I...
Wonder why it took him so long to figure out he was taking the whole ball-o-wax with him??:-?:roll:
I have to watch my exhaust stack also. Ever since I straight stacked it, it has a tendency to trim low hanging trees. It is about 18" taller than the windshield.
When I took the Commercial...
Out of sight, but definitly not out of mind, under the hood. I put in all new belts, coolant hoses, NOS coolant surge tank w/ vent and return lines, fresh diesel engine HD coolant and air compressor inlet rubber hoses.
I didn't post here but check out my...
Taillights, front marker/turn signals and B/O Drive came from eBay...search military LED. I just looked and there are some available. They are not from the same sellers, but they are there.
The headlights were a swap with a member here. He bought a 24V set for his M920 which were...
Quick removing pioneer rack
I relocated my pioneer tool rack to the right fender. It used to be on top of my utility/tool boxes behind the cab. When I decided to make provisions for an air pig to hang on the tool boxes between the cab and the bed. I realized the rack would be in the way.

Hannibal gets new shoes
Got a great deal on 10+1 Goodyear G177 Radials. They have 95%+ tread. With a little pressure washing and some Rustoleum flat black paint, they look good as new.
My neighbor came by a assisted with the heavy lifting. Luckily between my Northern Tool 3/4" impact...
Child labor is definitely necessary...it builds character;). The little guy jumped right in and got to work. He loves getting dirty working on "his" truck.
This past week and ending on Sunday I embarked on a fuel tank cleaning and replacement project on my M818. Last September I installed an under bed tool box replacing the left side fuel tank rendering the tank surplus.
After some thought I decided to take the extra tank to a radiator shop and...
