Does anyone have these studs and spacers laying around ? I've got a set of bridge truck tires just sitting around waiting to be used . Did you take any pictures of the process ? I would like to see the steps and finished truck . Does any companies still produce the long studs ?

I've got an M52 gasser that gets 5 to 6 MPG bobtailing and 3 MPG pulling my trailer . What kind of mileage are you other 5 tonners getting (gas or diesel )? What about ways of improving mileage ? Alternative fuels for gassers ? Any power upgrade tips or tricks ? Will a stack make it run better...

Cool truck , something about dump trucks . I think it's from when I was a kid all the Tonkas I had !

I took apart the one on my M55 cleaned it , and put it back together with just an exploded diagram and it worked great ( just dumb luck ? ). They are very basic and straight forward just take your time and you'll do fine .

If the price is reasonable I'd get it , you could always turn it for a profit later ! Once you play with it for a while you'll want to keep it . I got to use a friends M62 and it was a blast ( if I could just talk him out of it I'd have it made ! ).

I stopped in once on the way to L.A. , and was told unless its a big ticket item ( engine , transmission , axle ) they are too busy to take off small parts ( even though he wasn't doing a damn thing !!! ) . They won't let you take them off either ! I asked the guy what about the rest of the...

I feel for you G744 , it must have been the weight because when I bobtail I get 5 to 6 MPG , and pulling the M750 I get 3 MPG . I know someone with an M62 gasser and they said terrible mileage and only 37 MPH . Pulling the trailer I can still hit 55 MPH . So the diesels only got 5 MPG ? I...

Build it the way you want , if you want OD use it . Don't worry about anyone else they aren't building their's for you . I think any jeep painted in OD looks good . Any restorer will know its not original , your not trying to fool anyone your just fixing up an old jeep !

I've got two 5 ton gassers and they make tons of torque I've pulled other trucks and it takes off like nothing is hooked in back . The nice thing is the gassers don't seemed to be valued as high as the diesel so you might get lucky and pick it up cheap ! The 602 continental motor was also used...

My friends 1985 ambulance has buckets , and its just a regular chevy cab . Why would they be different ?

I know , when I first started bringing home my trucks I thought my neighbors would think I was nuts ! But most liked them and wanted to go for rides . It's one thing the people that like them think but when a vet walks up and they get that old memories look about them , they have a more personal...

Yeah the GOOP's much more sturdy than silicone!

Yeah I'd have done the drive first , cool pics !

My M52 is a gasser I used to wish it was a diesel but after the price for diesel keeps going higher I kinda like my gasser more now ! Cool story its a neat old truck , the adventure adds so much to the sentimental value of the truck . It's nice to see another one saved . You'll have alot of fun...

I hauled a trailer load dehydrated orange juice and had to run corrosive placards , but that was a commercial tractor trailer . Maybe your personal vehicle would be different , " honest officer we're going camping and we're gonna cook with it ".

Its cool hearing these stories especially when they end good , nice truck LOVE the dragon I bet you were grinning like the cat that ate the canary all the way home ( I know this cause I did too ! ) Well you got a real nice truck , welcome to the addiction ! Mark

Thats one of the best looking 4x4 conversions I've seen yet , with that bed it looks right . I really like the front bumper too ! All in all great job !!!

My M55 has one I dont think it's original , the guy I got the truck from said he paid $400 for it but I can't say wether or not that's the truth . He ran the winch on the front and a PTO hydrualic pump off the back for a logging boom .

My M52 is only 7 digits , so i wouldn't worry about it .

Mcmullag I live in Mo. your allowed 1500 personal miles a year not counting parade,shows or maintenance ( so of course I'm always driving it to be worked on , Right ? ) I've got a 5 ton and I've got historical tags , the state for some reason lists the body style as a pickup . I dont care mines...
