    M-715 woods recovery

    That yellow Boa Constrictor on the driver's seat would have made me think twice. I'm guessing you newked it? We need more of those barn/bush finds because.....it just makes us happy. :grin: Great find, wish I could wash it for you!

    Houston....we have problems....the M135 came home.........

    Data-Plate I spoke before the grey matter kicked in and have the wrong dataplates, sorry. Unless you want to call it an XM211? It's hard to get a decent picture of shiny data-plates but here they are.

    Houston....we have problems....the M135 came home.........

    That is funny, sort of...if you were the deuce.....or me. Transport companies should put that situational awareness cap on just like I do.... now, with Goose and our 302. These trucks are tricksters and it knew that Lexus was there. It seems like some of our little 302's tend to spit...

    Kansas to Toronto- M934, hauling butt and crossing boarders

    If you were running the 401 out of Detroit you'd pass right by Steel Soldier Terrh and his better half, artist girlfriend, who is a top Canadian....top.....Canadian. Knowing there's a 5 ton headed past Wheatley might cause a reaction with his Leyland Daf and you might run into him anyway. Your...

    Gun Ring You've got yourself some mounts for a gun ring. The two sets of reinforced D rings on the back of the cab and the piece you're pointing at can make your truck look like this.

    Alberta Canada Trips In Vehicle Events ACTIVE

    July 15th and 16th Alberta Rail Museum A few more choo choo pics. Real proud of my Endura brother donating the paint for many projects. I thought our hobby was expensive but one of these trains will take 135 gallons of oil for an oil change so we've got it pretty good.

    July 15th and 16th Alberta Rail Museum We had a trainload of fun at the Alberta Railway Museum. Part of the Convoy met at the end of Namao's runway where B-29's once launched. http://wayback.archive-it.org/2217/20101208165515/http://www.abheritage.ca/aviation/history/military_namao.html...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Snakes hey, let's keep that story quiet! Sure glad it turned out the way it did. The wives would never let you boys play together again if you go off getting hurt. As it is, one of us is going to be telling the ladies "we're off to look at a truck".....and now the reply is going to be, "remember...

    While researching Hydromax conversion for the soon to be coming M135 I found this....

    That PDF would help everyone with 159 pages of its fancy troubleshooting sections, part numbers and descriptions. We have an Early Deuce Airpak Rebuild Sticky but it should be shared with the entire board. It kinda needs it's own home because it covers a lot of systems. It's also a business in...

    Most of those units are in the pictures on this thread. The only additions will be a few more oddity Iltis boys, maybe a few more LSVW camping units, one real nice Bren Gun carrier that the Reserves are trailering in...and possibly a 5 Ton from the U.S. We'll be sure to get pictures.

    July 15th and 16th Alberta Rail Museum After months of planning with various museum boards......we got our act together and the show is this weekend, July 15/16, 2017. I'll stick next years dates in the "Upcoming Events" forum once confirmed. Maybe some of our Steel Soldiers will tie your...

    Anyone heard from Section8

    We see and smell your smoke signals. Good to read you buddy! PM me a better contact number. I lit up your house phone so you'll have weird text to landline garbo to listen to when you get home. That extra logging around your place seems like a good idea now. Looks like you've got both Thuya...

    differences between rims?

    Firestone Accuride You know your stuff SpecialT.....even with partial info you picked up on these being a 2 piece lock ring, 3 piece rim. .......and the part about military vs. civilian, you nailed it. Not even close. Thanks for helping keep things straight. We're moving forward, found...

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    Jerry can USMC not U.S.M.C. Your info should be a stickie and in an encyclopedia! Thank you. I cleaned a little harder and found 1962 under the contract number DA44 193 OM 1306. It's USMC, the can company, US on both sides, clean bottom....U.S.M.C.00-08 must have this! I even checked the...

    I tried dialing a while ago, no answer yet. We'll keep knocking!

    differences between rims?

    We may end up going there quickfarms, eventually. We're only doing one show this year, 30 miles from home base so without compromising safety, we're keeping a low budget. I was just hoping someone from our lock ring team played with the various width GM rings and could say, without a doubt...

    G749 Exhaust

    G749 mufflers We need to find some brave trucks to try these out and get a few more testimonials from the prooving grounds. We'd be real happy to see one on an M133 though. What would the team say about painting them? Any suggestion on some serious muffler paint?
