Bought the bumper from Scott today...as well as the rest of the truck that it was originally attached to. :oops: Will deinfitely be able to make one good truck out of them both, with plenty of extras left over. While I am getting what is supposed to be another good running 318, we are still...

That reminds me, I need to get working on my crossbuck and whistle markers! Trying to figure out what to do with the 318 in the M882 has been consuming the lions share of my time as of late. Also need to swap out the transfer case in the deuce before GA 2K13. Got a replacement on hand, however...

Welcome from the RDU area!

Frame seems to be good and solid, sheetmetal is all in very good condition with the exception of the rockers. A few minor dents here and there but I'm not going to worry about them. Found out why she won't run right this evening. Turns out the pushrod went all the way through the #7 intake...

Police wheels with dog dishes rock!!!

My entire life is a bad ground. I'm thinking about having that put on my tombstone.

Already one step ahead of you there dawg. Should be a bountiful supply of 16" steelies in the boneyards nearby. And since I am of the opinion that a 1960s or 1970s 4X4 HAS to have Pizza Cutters on it ;) , I plan on getting her shod with four of these (the ""Extra Grip M/T" at the top of the...

Yup, a car-part.com search turned up a few in the area, including a yard on the coast that has a Ramcharger, as well as a one in Asheboro that has a '78 that I don't dare call about, because it's listed as having an NP435/NP205, and I would never be able to leave there without taking ALL that...

Don't think I'll be bringing it to Georgia this year, but I hope to have it all gussied up in time for SSGARally 2014. It already has PS added! However, one of the brackets is cracked and the belt is off the pump. Doesn't look like it'll be *too* difficult to get it working again.

Removing the Mad Max front bumper. Anyone have a decent original front bumper? (I'll settle for one from a '71-'93 civilian truck if I can't find an M880 one)

Degreasing the engine bay.

For those of you who were at the Denton Farmpark last month, yes this is the same truck that was for sale there. My wife looked it over and warmed up to the idea of having one, and after shopping around and failing to find a more suitable specimen within a reasonable price/distance, we...

I was actually attempting to start a new thread and upload some pictures of my "new" M882 when things went sour. When I tried to upload the pictures, I got some kinda goofy "burst bubble" error or some other technobabble. Thought maybe the pics I was attempting to upload were too big, but had...

It's essentially the same as a civilian '77 Dodge W200 pickup.

Botched recovery gone very bad. :( The good news is that I managed to get in a safe place and there were no injuries or fatalities. Needs to be moved a grand total of roughly 93 miles. The truck will run and drive onto and off of a transporter, albeit just barely. :cry: Would like to move it...

Have any of you guys ever seen an M880 with a gun mount on the roof? I am contemplating the acquisition of one which the seller claims to have a genuine USGI field modification with a roof cutout and a canvas cover to go over it when not in use. Supposedly it was an MP truck and the canvas cover...

Might be best to get on some of the Mopar boards and find someone who has a junker carb they're willing to part with.

Ford flatheads had an inherit design flaw where the coolant flowed too fast due to the twin inlet and outlet hoses. An old hotrodding trick was to replace the stats with large flat washers. The small hole in the center of the washer slowed the coolant down enough to where it was able to...

Welcome...from someone who formerly resided just across the bridge!
