I have been a member here for quite some time, but have been away for quite awhile. I own a handful of various rigs (MUTT, Gama Goat, M54 5 ton along with a yard full of trailers. And I do mean a yard full! I have an M151A2 that has laid dormant for a handful of years (due to life getting in...

I apologize if this is in the wrong location, but I was wondering if anyone here has any low-down on the Redding (Ca) show? I am really wanting to go down to it, and can't find anyone that has been to the previous shows there. It's only an 8.5 trip for me so I would like to know whazzup before...

I was just advised by Alex at Idaho Motor Pool, he can no longer title anything newer than 1967! Apparently the State decided to change things up. Something about no FMVSS stickers.

I was just informed by a large MV dealer (he is in Idaho but sells a lot of MV's to Oregon residents) that a recent Oregon resident bought an M936 (a wrecker I think) and was told AFTER he got plates for it, he would have to return his registration (and plates) as Oregon would now NOT honor that...

Anyone know what the civilian counterpart for the original GI shocks on an M116A2 would be? The 15 watt guy behind the counter at the local auto parts store said he would have to "open hundreds of boxes" unless I could tell him what it was off of. I KNEW if I told him it was off a military rig...

Mods, I apologize if this is really supposed to be in the for sale section, but I think this might be a little different. I have no interest in this business. I was surfing the net and found these, and thought fellow Goat owners would be interested. I think I found some Goat battery box...

I don't think this should anger the moderator gods, (if so, I apologize) but I just found a rare rear carrier antenna mount for a Goat on Epay. It isn't actually marked for a Goat, but for an "armor truck"--BUT-- it is in fact for a Goat. Do a search for military antenna mounts, and one...

As Goat owner myself, I just want to say it certainly is refreshing to see the recent increase in Goat postings. As I've said before, I sure do miss the old GamaGoat.com (no offense to the SS site). I really do believe Goats are a special breed of MVs. Of all the MVs I own, the Goat is my...

Ok, I am tired of constantly dealing with the brakes. Does anyone know if there is a civilian alternative for my wheel cylinders? (Boy I miss the old Gama Goat website) Something I can go to NAPA or O'Reily and pick up? I just saw 6 complete new wheel cylinders on Epay for $100, and that got...

Ladies and Gentleman of the jury........ I have an M116A2 trailer. For whatever reason-I restored it, and it didnt't turn out too shabby, if I may say so myself ( I know, how hard is it to restore a darn flatbed trailer.....but I digress.) How many people do you know that restores a trailer...

With all due apologies, awhile back I inquired about needing info on a radio/intercom system for a friend that WAS going to buy a Ferret. He bailed out, but only after someone here told me they had a complete unit. I have since deleted all of the messages regarding that, and now discovered...

I need an "Antenna Bracket Assembly", #SC-F-446392. It is an antenna mount. It's for my Gama Goat, but appears to be a mounting setup for a plain ol' fashioned AS-1729 antenna, so I'm hoping it's a relatively common thing. I simply cannot find anything by this number. My web-fu didnt help much...

Once upon a time while I was visiting internetville, I saw a picture of a Gama Goat with an unusual antenna mount. The antenna itself was the common AS1729 VRC, along with the MX6707 matching base. The unusal part was specifically where it was mounted. The antenna appeared to be mounted on the...

A friend of mine recently fell into a ferret fro darn-near nothing(!!!!). The only problem is the radio system was removed. He says the remaining wiring is still intact (meaning whoever took the radio/intercom stuff out, didn't just start yanking wires.) My question is, the ferret is a 1962...

Admittedly, no pic's, but please allow me to tell ya'll about my recent dabbling with a specific paint stripper. My daughter-in-law works at a local paint store. They were doing an inventory and discovered 4 or 5 gallons of paint stripper rat-holed. They figured it had been forgotten about and...

Gentlemen: I hAve a 1968 Kaiser M54A2C. I haven't had it long, and it's time for a filter change (oil and fuel). Here is my problem. (Let me interrupt myself, I tried the search, but my web-fu must not be very good) I was given Fram 3512's for the secondary fuel filters. The old ones were...

I think this is where I should put this. I just fell into an M116A2 trailer rather comfortably, and a frame off resto is in order. It is in dire need of a baptism under sand. I have never had anything of this size sandblasted. How much can I expect to pay for the bed to be attacked (both...

I recently lost my parking brake. I got underneath and discovered the inner brake lining is gone and the outer brake lining is loose on the rivets. Real loose. Luckily the drum is fine. I went to the local Meineke muffle/brake place and tossed it up on their counter. I asked if they (or...

I am tossing around the idea to bob and crew-cab a 5-ton (or duece). I cannot decide on which combination to go with. We have both duece and 5 ton (including 5 ton tractors) rigs available for donors. Moving the rear axle is a possibility as well. Any ideas? A relatively well-known person...

I am tossing around the idea of building a crew-cab,bobbed duece. Actually, a duece OR a 5 ton. We have both available for donors, including 5 ton tractors, but cannot decide which way to go. The crew-cab part is a sure thing, it's which bed/frame combination. Maybe even moving the remaining...
