    Military trailer maybe

    Recovry, Thank you, so would I. But I got to find a way to buy it, or ask them if they would accept 4-5 months or less worth of payments for it. As with my pay, budget, bills, etc.. I never have that much money at once. But depending on the size of a monthly payment, I should be able to...

    Military trailer maybe

    Hi guys, Thank you for the information. I thought so too.. But was not sure.. It is cheap, but needs work. So if I can manage to get my hands on it, I will have a small project on my hands. Good day...

    Military trailer maybe

    Hello, I saw an ad for this online. The poster says it is a military trailer, but cannot remember the "M" number. They say maybe it is M60, is there such a thing? They changed the hitch from lunette/pintle to ball hitch... Does this look like a military or civilian trailer to you guys...

    Break out the tissues and be prepared to cry in your beer

    Oh the humanity.. That is so sad... I can see many that could be restored, if you put enough money, time, and effort into them. If they were exported to the United States that is... If not the bodies, then there should be at least a good bit of usable spare parts there. I hope someone does...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Hello Cpf, Thank you for the photo... I am always looking for a better way of doing things. I just went down and checked my terminals, and for now they are tight. Good. But I will look into getting better when it is in my budget.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Csm, I went to Bing and looked up those compression battery terminal ends. They look good and clean. But the clamps that go on the post itself, look like regular clamps. Are they made from a stronger metal that will not snap so easily when tightened? And the same goes for the truck terminal...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Hello Csm, I have noticed that too, that connections are some times loose. But how do you tightern the battery cable ends tight enough to the post, without cracking or snapping them? Terminal ends on battery cables are made from such soft metal. I snapped one a couple of weeks ago, just trying...
