RE: I nopics

Gas mileage is about 1 gallon per every 500 feet or so, loaded. :) No seriously, maybe 4 miles a gallon, it's not thrifty....

You're one of the lucky ones - I sanded mine and found that the military had ground the numbers off with a sanding disc when they surplused it out. Not legible. I am currently marking my truck with unit numbers from the local VA ARNG unit...

B13 simply means Bravo Company, Truck #13.

Got an idea for a repaint, unless you want camo, David - paint it 24087, with a yellow nose leading edge, like the guntrucks did in Vietnam. Granted, you're isn't a guntruck, but it's the same family, plus it looks COOL!

RE: I Alfa Heaven has some nice rigs, but like any used car lot, you really have to go over the rigs yourself before you hand over the cash. I've never dealt with Tom, and I have heard good and bad about his business. But I will say this: if his trucks weren't worth it, he wouldn't have been...

I agree with the idea of not having another pointy thing in the cab area in case of an accident. I'd use a bungee or a window lock, as listed above, as well. If you really need something more dedicated than those objects, you might wanna try mounting a plastic or small metal hook in the front...

There's a bunch of cool trays that are pre-made for various applications used in the HMMWV, for holding down ammo cans, weapon parts, jerry cans, night vision containers, etc. Might be a winner there too....

RE: m211 There was a pic in MVM back in the early 1990s showing a S-10 mini pickup towing home a M211, so I guess you're safe. :)

Very neat! Looks factory!

RE: level I had the same setup to tow my M416 trailer years back with the Dakota. Worked great, HOWEVER, the tailgate would open, but would crunch the tailgate mounted brakelight on the pintle. Not good....

I just checked - NAPA does NOT have them, nor does anyone else. I will goto Memphis, they have saved my butt in the past....

Make sure you put some loops and clevises on that thing to strap stuff down to, and you'll sell out of them as fast as you make them!

Need an exhaust pipe gasket, that goes from the manifold to the first exhaust pipe, for the -715 series. Anyone happen to know what the NAPA part number is for it? -715Zone isn't very helpful, the parts cross-reference has been down for months on that site, and Brute4C is probably sick of me...

RE: Roll back Wishful thinking Wayne - that's easily a $100K unit for us collectors....

Holy cow! If I was closer, I'd pick up a lot of those HMMWV treads, if they were any good. That's a steal!

What's' the legality of re-importing the MUTT from other countries we sold them to? A lot of central American countries are selling them by the hundred for pennies on the dollar, just because they are getting old and are not the most modern thing on the block. If importation is legal, and...

Nothing like PM to make you and your ride feel GOOD! :)

Revisit here - just want to make sure its right before I blow the block up. It probably will anyways. :) Anyways, here's a couple pics of the distributor. Nate, I heard that the firing order was 1-6 going counterclockwise. Can anyone shed light on this?

Man, they got some pretty plush seats in them compared to our old M151s. Thing kinda remins me of, well, a Thing! Oh well, nice little trucks!
