Had one last truck up in Chambersburg PA to pick up, a 1972 AMG (from what DDoyle says, GL says its a Reo, I trust David) winch truck, non-turbo hardtop. This one ran like a top, but needed a jump. Rather than ensure the hell that happened last week, we took the strongest runner north with a...

Man, I want warmer weather to show up. Anyone have any pics of the deuce with the top down and cruisin' the drag in town? The benefit of having a soft top is that you can easily remove the top, and have a 7-ton convertable!

Did a search on GL and noticed there are a LOT of 818 tractors coming out of the bases now. Anyone have a reason for this? I noticed there are more 818s than any other -800 variant combined, including 813 cargoes. I'm surprised that these tractors got held around in service longer than any...

Picking up a deuce tomorrow in Chambersburg, I can tell the year for the most part on most data plates, this one is kinda weird. Truck was made by Reo Motors company, number on the data plate is NKO2HT0539-15814

About to head out the door to go pick up Kaylee's new body tub. My jeep's body and fenders are pretty well shot, and I am getting a some new M38 parts from a guy in SC, selling a brand new tub, hood, and two new fenders for $1000 cash. Too good a deal to pass up. Total trip time will be 15...

What a day! Took me a full 24 hours just to get the energy back to post pics. Good news is three of my four trucks are home. Bad news is... Pulled an all-nighter Sunday night so I can leave early to pick up the new trucks. Older I get, the less my alarm will wake me up so if I need to leave...

Anyone have any pics of a side-by-side comparison of a deuce with stock 9.00x20 tires on it, versus the bigger 11.00x20 tires? If not a side-by-side, then perhaps just a couple different shots showing the comparison....

The rear PTO on the deuce (or rather the extra driveshaft attachment on the rear of the back axle) makes for a tempting thought about using it as a power source for farm implements. Not sure if anyone has ever done this. Anyone have any pics of using the deuce for farm use, by powering any of...

I regret to do this, but I have too many irons in the fire, too many project and too little time. I'd rather find it a good home now before it sits too much longer. 1967 Kaiser-Jeep M725 ambulance - less than 16,000 miles on original engine. It runs well, does not burn oil. No cancer or...

If we all think back to about October or November, a form letter started making the rounds via email regarding the scrapping of surplus Demil B and Q property. We all started frolicking and screaming, some sent an email to their reps. Well, I send several physical letters to my representative...

Saw this today, $400 for a M880, or at least it sounds like. Anyone need another MOPAR? http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/car/548159786.html

I see a lot of folks already talking about Haspin '08 and Rausch Creek '08, even a couple talking about Georgia '08. These are all great, glad folks are getting things planned that far in advance. but also We have the East Coast Convoy sneaking up on us, right along with the Aberdeen show...

Spent time today tearing down the M103 hulk in my yard. I have some spare parts that should fit M103, M105, or M149 trailers. I will be going to Jim Thorpe PA show in Feb, VA rally in April, Aberdeen in May, so if you need me to save these for you, and bring to the show for you, no problem...

OMG is GL advertising here?!? Surprise, surprise surprise! Am I reading this right? Loaded the SS webpage and saw a GL ad in the upper left of the page. Is GL finally advertising on Steel Soldiers? Guess so many folks here buy stuff through them, and our exposure is so well-known now, that...

I know the standard military turn signal units will run on 24/28 volts, and on 12 volts, but does anyone know if they will work on 6 volt?

Didn't feel like going to work today, so I used some Paid Time Off I had saved up and took a 3 hour (one way) trip to TNJ Murray in Delaware to snag some 7.00x16 tires he had, that I will be using on my CJ3A. They were in the process of tearing apart a small pile of MUTTs that were cut in half...

Okay, time to start making arrangement on this end for the Spring 2008 Virginia SS Rally! This rally will be a weekend trail riding event in the scenic mountains just west of Harrisonburg, VA in the George Washington National Forest. Date is set for the first weekend of April 2008, sort of a...

Well, not new, but it got delivered today. Not sure what name to give it (might have to wait until after I paint it) but for now, Gumby Jr. will do! She is a 1950 Willys CJ3A. Needs a complete makeover, but I got her running this morning and driving around my neighborhood. Can you say...
