Welcome to the site and congrats on the truck.I fully understand about vehicles being "too far gone to restore ," heck, some can't even be recucitated(sp?) let alone be restored.At least you are offering parts for sale,rather than just taking them to the dump. As far as...

Oh---and by the way--the truck in my avatar pic IS a '57 Utica-Bend with the Cont. 331 Gasser. Plenty dependable, plenty easy to maintain.I haven't any personal experience with the FMTV to be able to compare, but my gut is, the old iron is much simpler and hence easier to keep running than the...

FISH ON!!! HOT dang,we got a nuther!!! Careful now--reel 'im in nice and slowww--------

Welcome to the madness! The wife won't be seen with this truck or one of the others?(there will be MORE:-D,just wait and see:twisted:) Jim

We went to an auction late Nov. and a mule went for 1500.00 Basically complete,not restored and came with a LOT of spare parts.

I consider my M-35 Gasser to be "my frontline tactical vehicle in the war on Political Correctness":-D

Supersonic A/C= Question:"what are you going to do with that?" Answer:"don't really know but what ever it is ,we'll do it in a hurry!"

My former father-in-law was an employee of Morrison-Knutson just before the war,and along with a LARGE number of other local(McCall ID) young men, was on Wake Island Dec.8.1941.Yep ,one of those! Don passed away a couple of years ago but there are still some of those fellas around here,if...

I am 95 miles north of Boise on HWY55.If you are headed to East WA, then perhaps your route would bring you right past here!If so ,we'll help any way we can even if just coffee refill!Also,Alex at Idaho Motor Pool is at the I84 and HWY95 junction for parts if needed. Jim

Like others on here have wisely said-preperation is the key. If you have the time and money I'd say drive it.But if you can wait a while, do. Wait a couple months for better weather.Being broke down a long way from home and figuring it out is just part of an adventure storys are made of for the...

Hi, welcome!The Alt. RATTLES? HHMM?! Maybe the bearings are shot so it not charging?? Try to feel for abnormal( too much play) on the shaft of the alt. And for smoothness in rotation, both test kinda tell you the general condition of the alt. right quick. Check all the electrical connections...

I think I remember a few other apps for that powerplant---seems like a fella here local had a large (old) Bucyrus-Erie Excavator that originally had the 903 but got repowered after she puked. Oh, so close yet so far away--------------

HHHMMM?? Show up some day and start building a structure on said land WITHOUT a building permit.P and Z would probly figure it out for you!:twisted:

If its close to home(little or NO shipping ) that helps.

HHHMMM!!?? Clever----a Saturn camo-ed to look just like an old army wagon-----------

Just a thought here---has anyone used their MIG welder to spot weld something onto that screw head( plus the heat may help break things loose). Better cover up any thing you don't want pitted from the "fire" though:-D. jim

Welcome from the States Gianette01!:-D

HHHMMM,since we are talking trannies on chevy p/u's here, anyone mind if I ask if the 400 is the same box that is in the kids 84 GMC Diesel 1/2 ton 4x4 (civie)?Now they tell us that reverse is getting weak or non-existant:evil: Rats! Something else to have to deal with!These two are like...

Nice MV in the yard,homebaked cookies by the fire--life just don't get much better than that!! Jim

Incredible--just too cool!:-D.Reminds me of John and Sue at the Warhawkairmuseum in Nampa, Idaho.They chased down a lead years ago about a P-40 buried in a farmers field in Canada. Found out it was true,made the deal,dug it up,brought it home,restored and is flying today. Jim
