    Power Steering Steering Wheel

    Maybe because they were too hard to steer with manual steering ;) The trucks I pulled PS boxes off of had a smaller wheel than the M880, it was different style also so I've kept the orignal wheel in the one I converted. You get used to it.

    Michigan - Annual MV Show & Swap - August 3,4 & 5 2018

    Sure turnout was light last year, but I was there for most of Saturday & will be again this year! Jeff @ General Jim's doesn't put much effort to the web site, never really has. GLMVPA also misses the mark on promoting it's activities outside of its newsletter. Some stuff on its FB page. But...

    Question to all ambulance owners.

    There seems to be enough flex in the 'dome' which is just riveted to the windshield frame & rear box. I have never had a windshield crack in any of mine, now chunks of rust falling in my coffee cup? Well that's another story...

    Well the actual bill has very little of the proposed wording in it. Michigan Senate Bill 1040 of 2018

    The proposed amendment has NO EFFECT on regularly registered vehicles. The amendment is primarily in regards to historic plated vehicles. It does add "including Surplus Military vehicles," behind the words ". Every motor vehicle," in section 257.216 which should allow regular registration of...

    M886 wheel question

    Well the Chevy CUCV wheels I have that the ID measures 4.75 do not fit on the rear of my M880's, Where as my spare M880 wheel center is just over 4-13/16, and the Ford rims I took from an F250 don't have much clearance on the M884 I have them on. I suppose I could grab a bore gauge & some mics &...

    putting an ORV tag on it satisfies registration requirements in many jurisdictions. Been there done that.

    1977 M886 Draglink and PS Questions

    Need to find a used steering box from a 4x4 Ramcharger, W100, W200 W300 or W400. There is also a way to hack a pitman arm from a manual box onto the PS box but I wouldn't recommend going that route.

    M886 wheel question

    Typical GM steel wheel has a 4-3/4" center hole where the rear D60 on the Dodge requires a 4-7/8" hole. I have standard F-250 Ford 16" x 6" wheels on one of mine.

    Calling on all Michigan Historic Military Vehicle Owners

    I do not see where having the OPTION to register as historic has any effect on regular registrations. The bill from a few years back that allowed for the plate not to be displayed on any MV that was kept to look as it was in the military did not adversely affect registering them with regular or...
