There was a gent here who had a XM757 with the expansible van body (since removed), I'm sure he'd love to have the whole back end...

Awesome restoration! The rarities are always cool to see brought back from the dead, much more so than everyday MVs....

A2s weren't common in Vietnam, but they were there.

Thanks for all the info guys. Guess it will be quite a while before we see these surplus....

Saw a picture of this online, I can't find any information about it. Looks like a small trailer, maybe M1101 based, 2 axle with a fifth wheel hitch? Looks interesting, but I can't find any nomenclature on it. Is this an issue item, or custom?

It shouldn't be that hard for you to do PM work on your truck, gimp. You perfected the ultimate maintenance position for the truck, makes it a lot easier to get underneath the truck and work on it! :)

If you want toughter springs, without a lift, have you considered stopping in at a local spring shop and asking around?

I got a block of tofu.

Old gennies like that are neat, and also easy to work on. If you need parts, you'd be surprised how many are either still available under different part numbers, or make your own gaskets, etc. Nice save!

Way to work a surplus truck! Looks good, but you need to paint it green. Sorry....

yankeedeuce has a black one, but it's gloss.

I service them if you need help, but I am in No. VA.

There was a M60 wrecker rebuild by M Series Rebuild a few years back, they have some small pics of the resto. I think it was in MV Magazine as well.

Very. There are only a few guys on this board with one, and they are well sought after. They were all made in the 1950s, so most of those made have been turned into Toyotas several times over by now.

Here's what one looks like. JATONKA M108 FOR SALE

Stupid me - didn't think of that. I couldn't understand in my mind why having them was such a priority in the first place, they didn't keep the axle fluid in, they were only used for steering so it wasn't going to threaten burning up bearings. I get it - keep water out and everything stays...

Is there any dangers to running the deuce without the front axle boots installed? Other than probably a lot of excess grease running out of the knuckle, I can't see any tremendous headaches from having damaged or missing boots. ???

This rig is freakin awesome. Way to Dare to be Different! Subscribed...

I don't think I've ever seen a pic of WM smiling. But that pic sums up WM getting stuck in the mud. That Indiana mud gets greasy sick muddy with only a little rain. It's the only reason I can come up with why gimpy rolled his truck on a dirt speedbump.

I'm confused. What was the point of this thread again?
