Hi guys, For the past several years my work has kept me from participating in the forum at all (or pulling wrenches on my trucks), so sorry for rolling in almost out of nowhere. This year, as you may have heard, AM General is the primary sponsor of the MVPA Convention, August 10-August 13 in...

Greetings all, After over a decade of work, my five-ton (M41/54/656/809/939 et al) book is now rushing headlong toward completion. This book will be similar to my two-volume Dodge set from a couple years ago. After having been deeply immersed in this subject so long, I fear that in some cases...

At last, my new Visual History series book which covers the Kubelwagen and the Schwimmwagen, has arrived. This is a 136-page book, which could not have been done without the considerable help of the members of the KubelKorps group. While there are several pages of archival photos, the bulk...

Hi Guys, No sooner than my "Big Mack" book, about the Mack M125 and NO prime movers came out a couple years ago, folks were asking me "what about the tractors?" For a long time, my answer was "be patient." Well, the long wait is ALMOST over....the book should be available by the end of the...

Hi guys, I am trying to tie up a few loose ends on a project. I am looking for contract numbers for Studebaker, Studebaker-Packard, Utica-Bend and Curtiss Wright built trucks. This is the contract number only, not serial number nor hood number, or bumper number. The ones I have so far are...

I thought about writing this up for one of the mags - but decided here may be a better, or at least more timely, place to "publish" this missive. It may piss some off - that is not the intent. Rather, this is merely food for thought. I am fortunate in that my work and my hobby are somewhat...

Does anyone have a deuce with a LDT-465-1C made by Hercules (specifically) in it? If so, please let me know. I am trying to nail down some specific dates of certain changes, and the info off the engine data plate would be helpful. At this point, I am NOT after information about other brands...

I am as big of a fan of this engine as anybody - this is a quote from an offical Army monograph of logistics in Vietnam (Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 72-600389), so don't argue with ME about what it says. The author of this monograph, Lieutenant General Joseph M. Heiser, Jr., had...
