RE: glass Hi 319, Many thanks to you for helping me out by locating and sending me the door glass that I required for my truck. It's people like you that make this hobby worthwhile. Thanks also to others that got in touch with me with help and advise. Thanks Steel Soldiers!

Hi Folks, Thanks for the info about possible alternatives. I've been keeping an eye out on eBay but most door glass listed is for the passenger/RH side and any other that I've seen won't ship outside the USA :( Hopefully my luck will turn soon. Thanks again........

Hi Folks, Some kid threw a stone through my M1008 driver side window glass :x so at the moment I am driving with full on AC!!! :lol: Has any one out there got a spare one to sell and if so would they be willing to post to Ireland? Feel free to PM if you prefer. As always your help would be...

Thanks Folks for your help and comments. Look me up if you're over here!

:roll: Hi Folks, I want to remove the front side light lenses from my truck to replace the bulbs behind them. However, I can't figure out what size torx tool I need to remove the securing screws!! Is it a SAE or metric size? None of the torx tools I have fit and it's driving me nuts. Can anyone...

Thanks CGARBEE for all the info in your post! I have looked through various posts to get a handle on these trailers. The pics and info you have given is a great help. All considered, I think I will keep looking for an M101A2 as it is surge braked but as important is the fact that they have 8...

:) Thanks Folks for the information given so far. Particular the pics of the tipping "function" on these apparently very versatile M101 series trailers. Can any one out there in Steel Soldiers Land enlighten me with the main specific differences between the M101, M101A1, M101A2 and M101A3...

:? Hi Folks, I'm considering buying a M101A2 Trailer to tow behind my M1008 sometime later this year if the opportunity arises. Howver, one thing about these trailers I'm curious about is do they all have the ability to tip without disconnecting the trailer from the truck? I seem to recall...

Hi, I should have mentioned that I intend to still use the pintle on my truck and will be fitting it when I offer up the bumper to my truck after I have blasted and painted it. I will be mainly pulling a military spec trailer with a NATO ring/lunette I just want to have the option to tow a...

Hi Folks, I've finally got around to making an attempt to modify my truck to take a civvy hitch. Basically what I did was to buy a STEP BUMPER RECEIVER from good ol' eBay for $16.99 and modify and beef up the existing bumper step plate by welding a 5/16" plate under the step plate and drilling...

:roll: Hi Holks, I will shortly be looking for rear brake shoes for my M1008. Can they be got in NAPA or Autozone etc and if so what part no/description should I give them? I've a friend on vacation in the USA who could pick up the items for me. I see all sorts on eBay but I'm unsure which ones...

Hi Folks, I've just banged off an email to Adirondack Dodge parts. Hopefully they will ship to Ireland. Thanx! 8)

Hi Folks, I have a number of US Military Jerry Cans that I carry on my M1008. The gasket/seal on a number of them needs replacing. I can't get any of those seals here in Ireland as the type of Jerry Can that was used here was the NATO pattern can that has a completely different seal. I need 12...

Hi, Not much info on the thread as you say. Anything that I've found has related to M1009's only. I've seen the "pintle/ball hitch that you refer to but I decided to pass on buying one for the very reason you mention....too high. It would not be my intention to tow big weights however, I want...

OK Mike, I've looked as best I can and can only find details of a custom hitch for a M1009 and not a M1008. Can you send me the link to the relevant posts?

:? Hi Folks, It is my intention to fit a 2" tow hitch receiver tube to my M1008 to allow me to fit an adjustable tow hitch (such as part# PH30029 - Hitchesonline.com). This might not be any big deal to my fellow Stateside CUCV enthusiasts but for me these type parts are not available here in...

Hi Folkz, Do any M1031 CUCV Contact Maintenance Trucks come on the market? What kind of price would the going average be? Anything to look for in particular when considering purchasing one? :driver:

Hi Folks, I'm having problems posting pics to the forum as I'm not too sure how to do it. I hope the links to the pics of the Jerry Can mounts work. :x :?

Hi Folks, After some searching of my computer I've managed to locate pics of the Jerry Can brackets attached to antenna mounts on a friend's (in USA) CUCV truck. I hope they help solve the dilemna for some of where to mount their Jerry Cans. The idea was not mine!! 8) ...

Hi, I've seen a M1008 that had jerry can mounting trays fixed to the top of the antenna mounting brackets. Top job and so simple too. :driver:
