    24vdc work lights

    How bout some pics? I would think under bumper mount would be mean a high risk of knocking them off. Do you go off road any?

    Wheel Adapter? *hope this hasn't been recent..."

    If you really are serious about super singles... Let me know. I have one more set mounted with XMLs. You will not find a nicer or cheaper set. The work has been done, they are ready to roll. $395 each.

    GL price fixing?

    It looks like someone must really want them since the bid is now $150. I have considered GL might be into some price fixing (since we have no visibility into the other bidders) but I doubt they would worry about messing around on some plastic gas cans. It is all supply and demand.

    what do you do to fit radials on your truck?

    Now that is how to resurrect a post from the dead! I'm glad to see members using the seach function. Good job Wick. I look forward to some answers too.

    Adding a third axle to an M36

    1 ton- thanks for the chop. I really like the looks of it. This project needs to happen! SpicerGear- my first thought was to use the leaf springs idea (see my quote in 1 tons first post above). I'll have to measure to see how close I can get another axle with the leaf springs. I'd like to...

    Crane Weight

    Tom, I'd be interested in your 5 ton rims. Shipping might make it cost prohibitive though. What do you have in them?

    Crane Weight

    Scrap Iron I got my 5 ton front axle replacement and picked up the cranes, outriggers and a pair of HEMTT axles. Emm, you were right. The crane is a Grove from the M977. I believe the M985 is similar with a higher rating. Anyone got any experience rebuilding one of these or a source of parts?

    OKC Area Loadout

    Anyone near Oklahoma City with wrecker, crane, or all-terrain forklift available for loading assistance this weekend? If you are available, I'll pay.

    Axle Carnage!

    Well, I learned a few lessons on this one. I have confirmed what I always thought, "I need a wrecker!". I should have bought Bruce's 900 when I had the chance. It was a real chore dragging the truck home with a loader. I hope to get a new axle this weekend and get to work on an install.

    Deuce LWB negatives?

    Thanks HRD and 1-ton! Those are all really good ideas. I'm not sure yet which way to go. The M1075 has an air third axle and rear stear on the fifth axle. It is a nice setup. I'm hoping for something simple on the M36 which will improve off-road performance, payload, and stabilitity...

    Well I finished up the restoration.

    Great looking truck! What is the item under the bed in place of the spare tire?

    Deuce LWB negatives?

    Thanks. I'm interested in adding a crane to 5 ton. I'm gathering some info now and will ask you some questions on a new post. Also, I've been thinking of adding another rear axle to the M36. Another tandem might be the easiest to setup, but I wonder if the truck will ever turn? Could one...

    Deuce LWB negatives?

    M36 I always thought the M36s were harder to find and therefore more expensive, but I have been very pleased with the M36. It has a reinforced double frame and we have really taken it to the limit and it has responded favorably every time. The main drawback is reduced off-road capability...

    Crane Weight

    Thanks Bjorn. The crane is off an old Hemtt. I was guessing 4,000-5,000 pounds, but I'm hoping you're right with 3,000. You would know! What about a 5 ton axle weight? Anydody? 2,000-3,000#? These pounds add up quickly for shipping!

    Crane Weight

    Bjorn & Others- I need to pick this crane up. Any idea what it weighs? I think the NSN is 9810-01-194-0072. Do you know if it is the M983 HIAB?
