    What on the **** is happening to our rights to drive our trucks?

    My 89 year old Mother reminds me that we're all in this HMV canoe together. We only get to the shoreline when we row in the same direction. I can't swim so let's get the guy in the back to steer this thing and the rest of us will just paddle.

    Hydra Matic Transmission Videos

    It's your first post and you already have us tied up for hours :D. Welcome aboard and thanks for the links. Are you being forced into re-building a transmission? The prof is so cool I had to watch. Being that calm in a shop would be a big change to the level of intensity I usually see. He's a...

    CUCV M1010 Newbie here

    Swivel seats bring back memories of a friend's Olds 442 in the parking lot of the high school. The engineering has already been done so grabbing a set of Oldsmobile seats might be an option. It's tight in that cab so a guy might need to be creative but the 1010 is a great platform. Nice truck!

    Calling on all Michigan Historic Military Vehicle Owners

    Does the general public know about the challenges future HMV owners are experiencing? I see a lot of photos from Cities and Towns that benefit from the parades and displays so maybe the Mayors and event organizers should be aware of restrictive legislation. How else can we help you reach out for...

    M135 Bed measurements and pictures

    Upside down photos I worked all day to try and flip Goose over so I could get bottom pictures for you. I did get it over at a 45° angle but was moving too fast to snap a pic'. It's tough to see any welds on the inside of the top rail so I'm thinking they, whoever they are, used one piece...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    We might want to talk about your girlfriend more in private messages because I have questions. We're looking for the team that fed the troops throughout operation morninglight between 77' and 79'. Was she serving then? That was the operation to go up in northern Alberta and search for a downed...

    M135 Bed measurements and pictures

    M135 box It looks like the boys....or girls?..... went fast when putting the boxes together. There is a difference between the boxes by as much as 1/2" so back in the day we dropped the square and compass then slapped em' together. Both boxes I measured are 1956, one March and one November...

    M135 Bed measurements and pictures

    M135 cargo box We might need to come up with a 'most likely' measurement if we're getting different numbers. We'll be finished digging snow out by Friday. I intend to visit Goose and George so I can check between two 135's. We found different glass sizes between the trucks too so seeing...

    technical manual

    Hey neighbour, welcome to the site. I sent a PM private message with some contact info. The site is tricky sometimes because a guy finds a title that is meaningful but the poster may be long gone. The Iltis is real popular around home and warehouses still hold parts so most of them make it to...

    m211 how do I bypass airpac

    USMC-008 has a thread about the check valve that IS NOT supposed to be in the G749 MC master cylinder so let's hope that's where pascal is messing with you. If he doesn't chime in I'll knock on his door for clarification. We have turned the brake adjusters back in the bush to nurse a truck...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    A Horse With no Mane That is a great photograph of some finely groomed ponies in front of the 2 trucks. Beautiful. Looked for a truck without a cab heater and just a circulating heater but no such luck. Didn't see a block heater banged into one of the frost plug holes either so not sure why...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Me thinks they burned a bunch of canvas tops before going with a taller stack. We were extending the bow legs up for taller Canadians so the demand seems to come in later in more quantity. Additionally, the shop vans didn't all have tall stalks either so it's a story that needs to have a story...
