I've been wanting to make an adapter to use when I pull the 101a2 behind my civy truck. Problem is for some reason I can't find what I need in the tm's. I need a pic of the plug on the trailer showing what each pin is for. I want to make an adapter to use the 4 pin plug on my truck. I've even...
I've been searching for a 3 color camo cover and side boards for my 101a2 for awhile now. I previously posted a want ad but nothing close to me in NC. I can build the side boards no problem. In my searches in old posts I see where some say they bought in their words brand new covers. Well I've...

I finally got my deuce home from GL this weekend. The data plate on the dash is like a generic with only the 6 digit registration # stamped on it. I called GL to see what they had on it for year and manufacturer and was told twice that was all they had also. well on the description during the...
Neil Hendrix and myself started the day at 0600hrs this morning. After loading my truck we took off for Ft. Jackson SC. A big thanks to Adam for towing it off base on Thurs. When we got to Adams place I was thrilled to find the truck in greater shape than I had expected. We swapped around a few...

GL submitted my EUC on April 9 and as of Monday no word yet. Needless to say like everybody else I was P----D! So at lunch I called Gl and spoke with a very helpful young lady. Explained what was on my mind and she says I don't blame you folks for being upset. I asked about getting my money back...
Left the house at 0730 for a 1 hour trip in the deuce to the Price of Freedom museum in China Grove NC. They do a get together every year for D-Day. This year it was in conjunction with the cmvpa. Living history displays and the museum is incredible and alot of past and present mv's on...
Traded even my 85 1009 for 71 Am General winch truck. I think we both did OK. The 1009 was completely rust free and 47,000 original miles and was all original with brand new paint. The deuce is in proper working order from front to back with new paint. Even the winch works great-I had to try it...
Waiting for euc to clear but am trying to get ready. PM me if interested in hauling this m35a2. Drove the last one home but kinda busy at work lately.About a 3 hour drive.
Thanks CT
Finally after 2 weeks on nonstop sanding by hand it's finally done. It was fire engine red when I picked it up from the sale. First thing was to remove all the fire dept. stickers which was no fun at all. Then a lot of sanding. The one good thing is there is absolutely no rust in this truck at...
In section 2 of the euc form rite below item G therre is a box titled additional info. Itsays if you have government bidder id to write it in the box otherwise put in none. does it want your gl cust # or is it some thing else? I'm guessing they also want you to include what you plan on doing...
Sold my deuce today. Joel fler in from Kansas and fell in love with it rite away. He gave me my asking price and a lot extra for picking him up at the airport which is not exactly close to my farm. I think he got a sweet deal and so does he. I put alot of time and effort in the truck and it...
:roll:The $24 question is should I sell my deuce to buy a m818 tractor. I always wanted one I'm just not sure if the upkeep is that much more intensive or not.
I do all my own work so I have that part covered. Just wandering what some of you would do. Would like to either bob an 818 or single it...
I just wanted to share a few pics I took awhile ago. Finally put the top on this truck for the first time. After all the blasting and painting and addition of canvas cargo cover today I think that my plan is working out good.
Enjoy the pics and would like to see some other 24087 truck pics so...
Finally got the truck done a few days ago. After 3.5 mos. of tearing down -sandblasting-priming - painting-going through axles all the brakes allnew cylinders seals etc. And then finally putting it all back together again. I need a new tailgate but other than that I'm happy with it. Ran out of...
finally figured out that my alternator wasn't charging. Checked voltage on alt and at batteries and only 23.4 vlt. I cleaned grounds at alt and all batt connections and nothing. Searched past post and found where doghead revived a couple of alternators by adjusting that magic screw that I didn't...
Hey yaw,
I was just crawling around under my latest acquired deuce that I drove to work today and have been doing much riding in since I'm 3/4 way through sort of a frame off restoration and haven't drove much since bringing her home from AnnVille PA. in Aug. On the tranny the only tag has a...

My question is this-What size are the stars on hood and doors? What size are the letters...
