    delivered the hispano

    It sure was a hard dig to come up with an MV using the search term Hispano. Saw a ton of very cool cars I'd never seen before so it's a worthy "images" search but the gun was elusive. Is this part of what we're looking at here? http://pwencycl.kgbudge.com/H/i/Hispano_20mm_gun.htm

    Distracted driving

    It's hard to believe that it's a Silverado pick up truck. Very Sad. I'm real impressed when I see someone not looking at their phone when they're in a vehicle. Here's the latest available stats. http://www.distraction.gov/stats-research-laws/facts-and-statistics.html In 2014, 3,179 people...

    G749 preservation

    Ooops, I did it again, big wheels keep on turnin' takin me home to my kin, on the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again, drove my Chevy to the Levy but the Levy was dry......well, she made it. Goose is such an amazing beast I can't wait to give it the transmission she deserves...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    G749 Canadian Production Numbers These are all good questions that deserve better answers than I have. I first recall the metric system in school in 1977 and some folks putting stickers over the MPH gauges on the dash in their civi cars but I've never seen them in the deuces. The rest of us...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Not sure exactly what year it happened but the feds made the lads add an orange triple bar to the roof as well as a red one to the rear. My convoy switch powers the mirror and roof lights. The truck on page 3 is missing the triple, light bar on the roof but I'm guessing it had one.

    G749 preservation

    That was an easy swap. Looks like I'll be changing out the oil pressure gauge but so far everything else seemed to work. The original #27 wire was disconnected from the molded splice so we're guessing that was why the splice was done onto the voltmeter gauge. I put things back like the...

    All Gave Some, Some Gave All I have seen the TM's online and when I went shopping the folks at Portrayal Press treated me to a decent price box of goodies. https://www.portrayalpress.com/searchresults.asp?cat=1830 Back at the G749 farm, it's a real special day for family celebration. Great...

    My xm211 got put to work

    That's a truck we'd like to see more of. Sounds like we should put a go pro on her nose to take video. Can you post detailed pics of the small block install? It obviously worked so thanks for posting the story.

    You found the schematic in 9-8024 about 2/3 of the way down on pages 304 through 307, obviously. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?106483-More-M135-TM-s The way you explain it is more like taking a canoe trip down the river with bunch of tributaries we went to explore to find better...

    Early Deuce Voltmeter gauge wiring schematic I'm looking for a little electrical reassurance that Goose had her voltmeter hooked up correctly. The speedo took on some water and stuck on 20mph so I decided to swap out the entire gauge assy'. The two gauge assemblies are almost identical...

    never ending M135 brake problems!! Need advice??

    I wish I could haul the local G749 Posse down there and help with the truck. It sounds like she needs to be dragged out behind the shed for a good whipping. The boys would have that deuce torn apart and put back together before you and I finish our ninth beer. Out of the three trucks in the...

    M135 from Salmon, Idaho

    Did you kids get a chance to Check out what SARC is all about? Thanks to Section8 for doing that initial search, that truck likely served for some very special people that performed front-line duties above and below the water. Instead of me trying to explain it, here are a couple of Snippets and...

    Welcome to the Early Deuce forum and thanks for sharing that beautiful truck. Anyone 73 and posting pics on a forum has my respect. Hopefully you get the pleasure of driving that truck and upload some more pictures of her in that sassy Salmon countryside. Drove through years ago and I'll never...

    Project m1010

    Do not try and camp in the Walmart parking lot with the better half. It tends to rock back and forth because of the high center of gravity if you're a restless sleeper. You'll get both odd looks and applause when you exit the vehicle in the morning! I'd suggest some stabilizing outriggers or...

    I'll roll out the info on pics 2,3 and 4 since you kids aren't playing. The others are going to require some input because of their incredibly deep military history and some of you boys should already know what they are. #2 #3 I cheated a little on the DC-6 however this flight simulator...

    M211 crew cab crusade

    G749 Transfer Operation I think the book explains it better than I can. The sprag in the transfer kicks in the front axle when it 'feels' the rear wheels spin so that might be a drawback when using the G749 transfer. I'm really digging the MAX transmission hoist. That's one fine looking yard...
