OK Gang - not sure if this should belong in the HOT RODDING section but here goes. I need to relocate the Auxilliary Hydraulic Pump (for the Material Handling Crane (HIAB 650) and the Side Mounted Self Recovery Winch (Swiss Made)) on the 5-Ton HMTT (to be accurate - not HEMTT). It has become...

Shhhhhh - don't tell anyone yet..............

M985 Recovery/Restoration Looking for prices and availability for moving a truck from Warner Robins, GA to Jackson, MI Truck is 8' x 36' and comes in at just under 39,000 lbs. As of this post, the truck is not running but I have contracted with a Heavy Towing Company to remove the truck...

MMMMM - wheel chock - funny!

I would be in the market for about 3 pairs if the price is right. Let me know.

What of your bunch are you bringing, Bob? Should be a great time.

Planning on Joining! Well, can count me and the wife in for the festivities. Already putting the wrenches to getting the HMTT (High Mobility Tactical Truck) 5-Ton Prototype ready for the show. It was originally built by TACOM in the mid to late 70's as a "testbed" for the early 80's...

Hey fellow Michigander! Congrats on the boom. I am assuming that you are talking about planting that boom behind the cab of a "built" deuce tractor? Honestly, you might want to consider leaving the truck wheelbase the same as a standard M35 and just clipping the rear rails for the ramps and...

The last 3 trucks that I brought home were all done so on low-boy tractor/trailer combos. Yes, it cost more than a few dollars, but, sure enough, each one of them had concerns that surfaced once it was home. As these trucks get "newer" there is a lot more on them that can "go wrong". Bottom...

Imagine that!

COOL! - I used to have a M211 (though not in near as nice of condition). Very fun trucks. Not sure as I never had a problem, but you might want to check with those members more informed than I about these. I had heard while I had mine that the trans might use a cooler that is a trans fluid to...

Man that had to hit the bottom pavement HARD - no two ways about it. may require front end allignment.

Hey Derrick - They must have designed the skid plate for the original soft skin cab and then maybe went to the lower "light bar" which would probably make the optional armored cab a much simpler change. From the addition of the "nose mirror" they must be having too many issues with running...

Yep - probably right. Looks like the LVSR. Could swear that I saw both rear axles steer during the "middle of the street maneuver". I must not have seen the changes to the front end yet. Changes to behind the cab are probably for the 600 HP Cat that I think it has! Interesting that they...

Was surfing and ran across this site about the filming of the newest "Dark Knight" movie to be out this summer. Looks like the writer or producer or someone has an eye for military vehicles too! They called it a HEMTT, but as you can see it is one of the 10 x 10 PLS units. Hard to see if it...

"Standard" Truck door is usually about 14' x 14' (most trucks are limited to a max height of 13' 6" without permits, I think). This is a good thing to consider if you ever think you might end up with a motorhome or something (they may look shorter than 12' tall, but the A/C units on the roof can...

Did anybody else notice the two "ratchet straps" on the first M35A3 that seem to be holding back the rear ring mount legs (pulling them back to the bed sides). Maybe this is to try to counter the rocking and rolling off road??

Hey Guys, to Harley - It is all steel (empty about 11,000 lbs) - made to handle 22,000 lbs of ammo (I think usually rocket pods for the launchers). Usually pulled behind the M985 upgraded HEMTT Cargo Trucks with the Material Handling Crane on the butt end (truck carried 2 rocket pods, trailer...

New HEMAT Trailer Couldn't pass it up as it looked as close as I have seen to new and it was even located in my home state. M989A1 HEMAT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Ammunition Trailer). Still had the chain binders and sealed plastic wrapped manuals still in the stowage box. Only flaw I can find...

Yup Ron, and thanks for the heads up. I actually lost the bid on them and they went to a company out of Texas. I sent a request to GL to forward an inquiry e-mail to them and they let me buy them off of them. Now I'm scrambling for a shipper. Could go and get them myself, but I am way too...
