Anyone know where I could get a gas pedal for a 1078??

So I located an M1078 and the gentleman I purchased it from told me it had a bad fan clutch and even included a new one in the deal. My question is before I go through the labor of installing it I want to make sure everything that makes it work is functioning. I've had a few old military trucks...

I am looking at buying a 1078 truck, not a newb with military trucks I've had several 9 series 5 tons but this is my first foray into the LMTV arena. I really want one with a winch but it seems there are more available without them. I have been looking and it seems there is a chelsea pto...

Don't know if this has ever been asked but I'm sure someone has tried it. I want to mount a commercial truck cab to my 5 ton bobbed wrecker. The military truck cab has gotten in bad shape and part of it is because it's not really water tight. I'm thinking of like an older Topkick or maybe like...

This is Brutus my custom built 5 ton off road recovery wrecker. It has the name Sgt. Hicks on the passenger front window. Can anyone tell me who he would have been in relation to the vehicle. I've seen others with different names on each side but I seem to get a different story from everyone I...

Hey everyone, I have a 925 series truck I am having a time with. I replaced the "brain Box" a while back, and have since replaced the alternator and recently the starter.

I know this is a stupid question but what green is this? this is a 1986 era 5 ton, it was desert tan and then painted over with this. I have been learning on here that there is more than one "OD" green. I think this was a Army truck if that makes a difference. I want to repaint withthe Behr if...

I have been reading a lot about CARC and it's dangers as I get ready to repaint my bobbed 5 ton. One question I have is, is it generally assumed that all military vehicles are painted with CARC? Mine looks like it's covered in old latex flat house paint. I'm not doing a restoration or show...

5 ton newb here and thought I would start a build thread for the custom 925 I am building for work. This is new territory for me working with something this large and I have a few questions. I have read much about retaining the ABS when you bob a 5 ton, consensus is that the 939 trucks only have...

New to the 5 tons and have a quick question. I have the opportunity to buy a really nice M923 but I really want a winch. How hard is it to retrofit a 923 with the pto and hydraulics like a 925 has?? Is it a bolt up hydraulic pump or is it more complicated than that? Any help is appreciated.

Hi all new here on the forum and I came here because you all seem to be the best knowledge base on the 6X6 trucks and I need some help deciding what to go with. I have heard pro and con here and there from everyone I talk to but nobody that can give me solid information. So here I am. I am...
