Without trying to start a thread of pics showing the weird color schemes, or camo patterns, that civvys have given deuces after they leave the military service, thought I would start an interesting thread. Does anyone have uncommon color patterns or camo schemes that were given to the deuce...

Went to visit family last weekend, my trip north took me up Rt. 33 in eastern PA, east onto I-80 through the Delaware Water Gap. Soon after making the turn onto I-80 East, I saw a scrapyard on the right that looked like it had some camo and green shelters, might be some green iron there too. I...

Went up to visit family in NJ last weekend, swung by the Newton Armory in Newton NJ on the way back. I've spent some time here years ago, and the old M60A1 is still parked there as a gate guard for the armory. I used to see this tank driving around in the early 1990s, they used to have it out...

Saw this pic on Tomlin Ordnance Depot's website. Looks like an old gasser deuce, with a hardtop. The toolbox looks like it has been replaced with a civvy gas tank/step combo, and there is some sort of header rack/winch setup behind the cab. The bed kinda looks like a pipeline deuce, but it's...

Is there a source for the Air o Matic power steering kit for the deuce? I know, $$$ is required.

The winch I got from builder77 is missing the data plates. Does anyone have a pic of a restored winch with the correct data plates mounted?

Interested in pics of M35 series trucks outfitted for Psy Ops uses on the past decades. Some were glorified radio trucks, others were massive speaker platforms, etc. Does anyone have pics of the setups these trucks had, inside or outside?

Saw the below pics, a standard M35A2, but the engine pics don't look like a standard 465. What is this engine, and why does it reside in a M35A2?

I need the gravity-fed sock filters for filtering used motor oil. Not sure if my terminology is right, looking for ones that look like inverted dunce caps (perfect for me). Need 50 micron, 10 micron, and 2 micron, or similar gradients. Anyone know of a good online source for cheap filters of...

One of the deuces recently started exhibiting a problem I'm not sure what the issue is. Plenty of lube in the tranny. Couple times, though, the deuce got into 3rd gear, and wouldn't get out of gear, no matter how hard I'm trying to yank the shifter out of the gear position. I "solved" it by...

Okay, time to start a discussion on maintenance issues on the deuce. Here's the thing: I've heard some folks who talk about maintenance all the time, doing the Lubrication Order to the letter, etc., basically calling the deuce a maintenance intensive truck. They work on their trucks all the...

How common are the M762 trailers, the ones rated as 1/2-ton or 3/4-ton, but are basically the same size as the M416 trailer. Looks like a -416 with a flatbed. I have only seen a couple of these, and they are never for sale. Are they all still in service, like the M1101/1102 series?

I have seen many many more 1950-1954 M37s than the later model, the M37B1, which was made in the 1960s. I understand that this is a result of the later model being built with much thinner metal, and many have rusted away (I have read this in several texts as well). Question I have is, if you...

I know the only surviving Vietnam gun truck is Eve of Destruction, at the Army Transportation Museum at Ft. Eustis, VA. There might be one or two still in Vietnam on display at a state-owned motor pool (pile) of captured USA armor (not sure about that but I have heard rumors). However, my...

Either it's a scam, or the seller lives under a rock and doesn't know what it's worth. Or its stolen. Anyways, saw it on Craigslist, DC area: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/car/709343450.html Perfect 1987 AM General Military Hummer Very nice - $6300 (Maryland) Reply to: see below...

I need a set of wiper motors for the Jeep. The windshield of my jeep is a M38 type. I see standard market price of the wiper motors for the M38 range from $50 to $70 each. However, Saturn Surplus has wiper motors for the M715 series, that look very similar, for $26 or so. Can they be...

I have a deuce that needs a mirror, unlike the west coast style, and unlike the standard "center bolt" style on my 1968 (sorta like jeep mirrors). A pic of what I need is below. Anyone have a spare? Used is fine, just need to replace a busted mirror.

Since the thread for the date selection for the 4th Annual Steel Soldiers Rally at Haspin Acres, Laurel, IN, is getting kinda long, I thought I would start another one to get folks to sign up for the event. Post if you're going, how many folks you are bringing, and the vehicles that you will be...

Looking for the M37 website, that is named after the "G" number of the truck. What is that website? Need it for research on something.

Got bored during a home painting project, so I decided to fire up the deuce and take it to town for a little cruising up and down the main drags. As usual, ran like a top, and got a lot of "thumbs-ups" from the kids on the roadside, and the fellas on bikes going through town for the Rolling...
