    While I don't know their names off hand , there are a few 5 ton owners in your neck of the woods that frequent here, I imagine one of them would be happy to come by and show you some important items about your new 5 ton. Meanwhile find an operators manual for your truck ( or M809 series of...

    Installed Radials, now truck wanders

    WOW?!?!? When I put the 1100R20 Michelin XL's on my M36A2 I was amazed at how much better it went down the road as compared to fighting it with the stock 900-20's. It tracks down the 2 lane blacktop with ease.

    Opinions on Vietnam "period" Correct restoration needed.

    I too, am painting my 69 M35A2 back to its original colors. I would trade my hardtop for a canvas soft top setup also. You can switch wood and fiberglass boards, everything else is the same on the seats. wb1895, actually not a bad offer, but the truck is "Fort Eustis Transportation Museum's...

    Selfridge deuces-what did you get?

    In Michigan for previously untitled Gov't vehicles, the TR 54 vin inspection is not enough. You must have a SF-97. for "body style" the SOS is now classifying these as "utility" due to the 3 axles (and varying bed configurations.

    A few questions about speed and gearing

    the multi is a 1200 to 2500 rpm motor with 140 hp sure a set of 4.9 gears will rotate the tires faster in first and second. No matter how far your turn the fuel up you won't achieve the HP needed to do it, especially with 395's leave the gearing alone, drop in a big block chevy* with about...

    Question

    Just for curiosity sake, I'd check with Clark Truck in WV ask what they'ld charge for a reconditioned M817 (if they had one) I have seen the Clark operation in person, and was impressed! (ever see a Deuce on a chassis dyno?!) I have not seen the Oshkosh Equipment operation. I do know the name...

    24v LED headlights

    Don't have a CUCV, but I'm pretty sure the headlights are not 24v.

    Question

    A truely restored M817 would cost serious big $$$$ I would check it out closely, as some just slap a little paint & tires on & call them restored

    m880 bed swap

    I would think you'ld need to cut it down to 8 foot long. It would still weigh 12 to 1400 lbs. A M101 bed would work, although they are somewhat smaller than a stock bed. an M105 bed would need to be cut down to fit too.

    Selfridge deuces-what did you get?

    Safety first! If your driving them out, check brake fluid level, check for wheel cyl leaks. Check the lug nuts! Look for anything loose in the steering. and hit the brakes hard while still in the lot, then check for leaks again. Check the lug nuts!
