Glad you made it O.K. and you are not the first to do a hood flip so don't feel too bad! But what cable was that close to the hood?? Wayne

There is one on the dash. non matching numbers are a bad thing in some states and could/will get your truck impounded. Wayne That VIN comes back as VIN: 1GCGD34J7FF366938 Vehicle: 1985 Chevrolet D30 Pickup Military/Postal Unit

There is a topic. I think grease was the primary fix. Wayne

Carfax does not wotk on many cars, all states do not keep those types of records. I wouldn't think the military would either. Carfax does have VIN and some records on your truck but I think you find the records will be of just infor on Chevy trucks of that era. You can google the VIN to see if...

When you give the number to the insurance company they will tell you in just a few seconds if it a valid number. Wayne

Might could, sounds like a lot of work though. Might be easier just to change axles from a commercial trailer. Just carrying a spare tire is the cheapest fix if you are worried about flats (unless you are prone to lots of flats). Wayne

engine That would go for a lot of surplus sold. But America is the land of free choices. But they sell engines in Hawaii too, why not tell him to buy there? :? Wayne

Do a little more reading on the CARC paint before cuting and welding. Door shell means just the metal door. test light is just a handheld tester (looks like a screwdriver) with a metal probe on one end 12 or 24v lamp in the handle and a grounding clamp on the other end, should be less than 5...

You asked this before. If RAM was no help, it probably didn't fit any common vehicles. Wayne http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=18905

Be very glad it was the rear that went! When the FMTV first came out the front would drop, something about the vibration over a certain speed, killed several soldiers. Anybody remember how they fixed it? Wayne

Transmission is a tough cookie, I bought one in the DRMO days, jumped started it and took off home, after 30 miles truck started making so much racket I pulled off and started checking, Transmission had no oil! filled it up and took off again. Never gave a bit of trouble after that. I sold it to...

Those trucks have the steel bumper a civilian type works great, if you have access to one. Not as heavy and fits a regular ball. Wayne

tag light O.K. No tag light 20.00 ticket, no tag 80.00 ticket, oversize and no insurance get in back of the car! We'll teach these dang people, yet,

One of those things you will probably NEVER need to know AND has absolutely nothing to help in wiring in a tag light. Which BTY I was once told by a Georgia State Trooper that he didn't care if you didn't have one. If he wanted to read the tag he COULD. Wayne From: Frank Berauer, Technology...

Seems as if there is a need here, while not get a few jobs lined up, should lower the cost and if anything is left over (tools/material) sell to the next guy. Wayne

Ideally, Your trailer tires should match the one on the truck, so if you have a flat you can use the spare from the truck. The new M105A3 are using 22.5 and carry their own spare so that if being towed by the other trucks they have a spare. The biggest difference is each of the upgrades was...

Well, let’s see what I would want changed about G/L so more bidders will find it easier to buy Government surplus? Won’t more bidders mean a increase in bids so that the final price will be more? Some how helping G/L increase their bottom line at the cost of my bottom line doesn’t thrill me...

For generators to work at their best, you need to know how many amps you need. then size the generator to fit. Bigger is not always better in generator use. Wayne

Well I was not showing a comparison I was just showing that VIN need not be secret. M35 does not have VIN as the civilian world would know it. The serial number of each truck (M35) is stamped on the frame and is unique to each truck so it would be the only way to tell them apart. (As I...
