I'm not sure they use stencils for the camo jobs, only for the lettering and stars. Most times I have seen the vehicle being divided up with a grease pencil into sections according to the manual on camo patterns, and sprayed in order of "1", "2", and "3" ("4" where applicable).

MassM35A2, just let me be the first to say your deuce looks great with that camo pattern!

Wish M48s like that one in the pic were more common in collector hands. Quite a large chunk of iron, I'd love to have it in my local parade!

RE: Re: RE: Towing I think the large is a little overkill for a deuce, but if it works for large MVs, it'll work for anything, I guess.

Found a couple $2,500 5-ton tractors in good shape in VA. One is a M52, other a M139. Here's the link to the seller: www.vmmv.org

I have seen these amalga-machines every once in a while with M880 parts and M1008 series parts. There's a M880 with the maintenance body up at Colemans surplus in PA with a welded-on front bumper and brushguard off a M1009, done at the depot. Your rig, Towerguy, looks like a great work rig and...

Where did you get that pic of my first day on the job?

AH HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Bet you want those rims on a gold-plated pallet too, doncha? Wait! Lemme look in my shed! They're in there right behind the 5-gallon pail of elbow grease, and the 500-foot hank of flight line! No seriously, you're gonna need a LOT of luck finding those. A bunch of use...

I saw this one at the Gilbert PA 2006 show last September. It was a shop body, 2-1/2 ton, and a gasser:

Looks like you had a lot of help loading the truck on the flatbed. Therefore, could not have been a GL auction... :)

Those are really neat looking rims. Just curious, why did they call them "combat rims"? They can't provide much more bulletproof protection than the standard ones do, and the tire can still be shot out...

So replacing the standard cast iron exhaust manifold with tubed headers would help it breathe? I thought in a single-pipe exhaust system, the muffler and catalytic are the limiting factor in the exhaust efficiency of the vehicle. Would replacing the stock carb help in getting the gas mileage...

I like the winch and front bumper setup - gotta paint it OD now! :) Great looking ride...

We all know the 318cid of the Dodge M880 series is a gas guzzler, a result of 1970s technology, but also of fulltime 4wd, locking hubs etc. Most owners of M880s get 12mpg on a REALLY good day, perhaps as low as 8 mpg on a bad day. Was interested to hear any ideas you all have for increasing...

RE: Gas tank Definitely needs some TLC, but at least it looks pretty complete. Thanks for the pics of your new toy!

Any pics from your trip, Ryan?

Found a few of these in storage at my place, with the following label: (1) BRACKET ASSY SC-D-425918 (1) BRUSH GUARD SC-D-425909 (1) BAG OF MOUNTING HARDWARE (2) REINFORCEMENTS SC-B-425939 (2) REINFORCEMENTS SC-B-425910 (2) SPACERS SC-B-49644 (4) SCREWS 5/16 X 1-1/2" MS90726-38 (4) SCREWS...

That chick looks, ah, rather, um, BEEFY! Very MANLY woman. But perfect for a deuce owner, I guess...

Hole is about 1 inch from the weatherstrip, and the holes are about 5/8 diameter from the ladder rack bolts. A rivet would be too small.
