Is this kinda like the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor? btw: no use bidding on that item, you'll just run up the price on me. I am committed to buying it no matter what the cost up to $50,000. -----now if I only knew what the item was, but CARNAC knows everything-------

I'll bet David Doyle has the info on all the contracts.

We have A LOT of new people on Steel Soldiers and there are quite a few that have never owned a military vehicle much less driven vehicles the size of a deuce. FOR GOD SAKE DOWNLOAD AND READ THE TM before you kill yourself or run over a minivan full of kids. Some of the questions that get...

This info is covered in a lot of previous threads. It depends on your state and I think CA is the only one that requires a CDL for the deuce. Besides, the weight is not 26000 pounds it's about 1/2 that at 13K plus a 5K load but you could do 10K on highways for an absolute max load of 23030...

Actually 2 boths and then the "little hydraulic thingy" that you will need to undo also. But yes, you can usually get the rear seat out fairly easily. Taking it out versus folding it forward will only get you about another 4 inches or so. Haven't measured the back area from front to rear or...

Must have been reading my mind. This one is at the shop isn't it?? Only prob is I didn't have my schedule here with me but I think the time near the end of the month is more empty for me.

The flux capacitor comment is a good point. If you are going to operate a military vehicle, at least read the TM. The life you save maybe your own or your kids or my kids in the back of the mini-van.

We may see some of the A3's come out but they will continue at a trickle I suspect. The forest service folks will probably be picking those and/or foreign military sales. 800's are on their way out also but seems like at a slower rate but then again there are fewer. Looking for locations...

If the truck goes through a frame up rebuild, they tend to get all new parts. Also, odometers break and get replaced. Are the mechanics suppose to mark the mileage on the vehicle and in the records of the mileage at replacement? Yes. Do they, rarely. Keep in mind, nobody is looking at the...

Concur. To get a decent truck at GL prices, not long. To get a parts truck or buy parts on the private market, quite awhile. We are still able to get M38, M715, and even willys stuff. So although the sky is starting to fall on GL trucks, it is still ok in other areas.

In October there were roughly 4000 cargo type M35A2 series. That would include w/w, wow, dropside, etc. Those numbers did not include 109 vans nor A3 models. Based on some incomplete but still relevant data I have, we are now nearly through half of those in 6 months. As for your specific...

Jakob, I'm working on the exact same project. I have the aluminum beam and hoist system from an ammo carrier along with the bows. The bows are about 6 inches too wide so I'm building a square frame that can be raised or lowered similar to GP small tent poles but this will be made of steel...

I'm still outta town and can't look up stuff yet. Important points: #1 Validate the SN on the truck frame with your paperwork. Do not rely on the data plate on the dash. If they match, Great. #2 Technically, the SN is your VIN. The registration number is not part of your SN/VIN. #3...

Was this C47 actually in Bosnia or was it at Zagreb Airport? I remember seeing one in Zagreb and always wondered about it but never had the time to check it out. I think I have pictures of it from across the tarmac somewhere.

I got one and could get it as close as Morgantown, WV. PM me if you're interested.

Among the many things already listed: Pitman arm, sway bar bushings. Hub service Ensure you have good connections on your windshield wiper motor and maybe even get a spare. Get the best brake pads available and shy away from cheapies, especially if you plan on hauling or towing a lot...

Basically similar with me listing my M35 with USAA. I told them it was an M35A2 former military truck with a weight of...whatever it was in the TM and gave them the VIN. I was floored when they didn't come back with a issue that the VIN didn't take. I even asked the guy and he said no...

VERY NICE LOOKING TRUCK! I concur with Kenny concering the date of mfg. I can't access the database until I get back across the pond. As Kenny said, your seatbelts were installed in 1989. Once the VIN thread gets reopened in about 2 weeks, then you can post a request on there and we'll...

Is it possible to mount the M35A3 deuce tires on a M105A2? Is the space and clearance there on the top and sides?? btw this is the M35A3 tire and rim. Thanks

Your own personal moving van. My organization is most likely transferring me this summer because my position has been eliminated. I get paid for the move. So I worked the math and the money I'll make off the deal after all expenses paid, goes to the green iron fund. -So a moving van -haul...
