stock axle spacing on 2.5 ton 48" 1400R20 diameter is 49" (even taller on stock deuce rims)

I know nothing............

You do not have to have a reason to drive with historical/authentic plates in Michigan. You can not drive it for normal transportation, I.E. drive it back & forth to work. Not for grocery getting either or hauling firewood. You can go for a drive. You can stop at a store / restuarant while out...

Same key I believe. Always better off pulling the drive shafts.

I think the USAF Ambulance is ready to go. Radiator dealt with, roof sealed up {hopefully}. maybe a tarp free roof this year! Thursday & Friday scheduled off of work.

Try a differnet SOS office. I had one lady try to refuse historic plates due to the weight. She was oh so wrong........... Check the sos web site for max weight for private plates.

Heath, I was having that issue when going from 5th to 4th on mine. Just couldn't ever do it. I had a few others trucks, and every one I've ever driven shifts differently! I would guess all freshly built ones shift the same, nicely. I learned that I had the shifter 'off to one side' so to speak...

Yea, just the stories about the trailer from ****!

Whoa! To flat tow you would really need a truck heavier than the 7370lb M1010. Dolly idea, they don't make a dolly strong enough for that. Like Kenny said, tires. 10,000lbs / 4 tires is 2500lb per tire

I'm sure the weight of a M1010 is listed on here somewhere. I'm sure the trailer has a listed capacity, somewhere. If the trailer GVWR is 10,000 lbs you should be ok. If it is a 7,000 gvwr, you'll likey be overweight. I.E. My 7,000 trailer weighs 1800 lbs so it's cargo capacity is 5200 lbs...

The Michigan MVPA will be holding it's Annual Camp Grayling Trail Ride from the website mimvpa.org [/SIZE] This is a MIMVPA members event, memberships will be available on site. There will be a board / membership meeting on Saturday.

I have a medium towbar that has not had the MWO for the collars. I plan on making some, while the ID is a given, I need the OD and length of the collars. TIA

Well it seems you have been properly annointed into the realm of mv ownership. May the truck now start behaving

So He's rolling again. Ummm.................. I guess he forgot the bottle jack & tools at home in his rush to get his new toy.........:oops:

I have a request from a mother who lost a son in Iraq, she is behind a drive to build a Veterans Park in mid michigan. This Oct 5th & 6th they are having a fundraiser "Freedom Festival" in Harrison Mi. They would really love to have MV's on display for this event. The admission fees / camping...

These are the only NOS M886 set in existence. I believe Mark Body still has some 1010 doors @ $500 each, pics of a pair of those in the My M886 thread (IIRC) I really didn't need them but I seem to have an addiction.............:whistle: I could be talked out of them for someones restoration.

Armstrong, that tire is old, no it's even older than old. It has been rolling on borrowed time. 65 psi, 45 psi, no matter she was waiting to pop. Titan T-hawk are the most current, Fidelity next. Oh and nice bumper jack!

NOS M886/M893 rear doors! They exist! Not the later M1010 doors, yet they would fit. These have the bolt holes for the jerry can brackets / hinges.

The M35A3 came with 14.50-R20's which are 43 1/2" tall 1400's are 49" tall new and a real tight fit with a 48" axle spacing on a Deuce

Here's a pic af a Deuce I used to own, I'm guessing it's Marv aka dragonwagon unless he sold it ( it was on Craigs list a while ago.) I wasn't there but I heard " that Arny truck just walked away with it" I was hoping for a video.
