I just bought an M135 and M54 from a friend in Montana. I live in Utah, 500 miles away. I'm storing them both at another friend's ranch (also in Montana) until spring. I'm planning on flat towing the deuce with the 5 ton on the trip back to Utah. I've found lots of info about towing M35s and...

I've had my fake M1009 (civilian diesel K5 with CUCV bumpers) for years, but i've not had an actual MV... ... until now! A high school friend of mine, whom i hadn't seen in 20 years, got in touch with me a few months ago and offered me a package deal on his 2 6x6s. One is a 52 GMC M135. The...

I had to do a little bit of modifying to my HMMWV engine cans to be able to start the engines in the shipping container. First, I lifted up the back of the engine by prying with a long 2x6, then I shoved a pile of blocks under the oil pan to support the engine while I removed the rear bracket...

Just won 4 HMMWV engines at Ft. Carson I won a lot of 4 6.2's from Ft. Carson. I'm pretty excited, cause my M10Faux9 (my civvy 86 diesel Blazer) needs a new engine. I sure hope I didn't buy 4 thousand lbs of scrap! Any words of wisdom for me before I make the trip to recover them? Also, what...

This truck has been sitting a local farmer's lot for about 10 years without moving. Last saturday, I saw he was around the property, so I stopped in, introduced myself and asked if he wanted me to get rid of his junky eyesore. He told me he'd let it go for $1500 (I believe that to be a bit...

I was sitting around, minding my own business in my mother's living room last Saturday when suddenly there arose such a clatter. I sprang to the window to see what was the matter. OH! There's a couple of self-propelled howitzers parked in front! I grabbed the camera and ran outside to check...

I picked up an 86 Civvie Blazer for $400! I put a used transfer-case in it, welded up the exhaust, replaced the throttle shaft seals in the IP (did I mention that it has a 6.2 diesel?), and put a junkyard front driveline into it. I'm into this thing less than $700 including registration and...

I was driving through a small town in central Utah a few weeks ago and saw this on the side of the road. I was in a hurry, so I just did a quick "drive around". Then when I was surfing the classifieds, I came across this listing: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=3990664&cat=&lpid=13...

This M113ish "thinger" was at a truck stop next door to my work a month or so ago. To me it looks like a 113 with some other stuff on top.

I keep hearing folks talking about how much they paid for their m35s and m109s. I keep hearing figures around 1500 to 2000 dollars. Most of those posters are from the east half of the country. I have been watching every single deuce that has come up at Hill AFB for the last 2 years (and some...

I have a friend that is looking into buying a civi Blazer with the 6.2/700R4 combo. He asked me what mileage to expect from this truck, mostly freeway driving (<70mph). I told him that my TH400 equipped Suburban got 15mpg @ 70mph, so he could expect anywhere between 17-20. Is this too high...

On my way home from Washington (Yakima), yesterday, I stopped by Idaho Motor Pool to poke around for a while. I came across this APC that from a distance I thought was an M113, but when I got closer, couldn't ID it. IMP was closed for the holiday, so I didn't really have anyone to ask.

HMMWV =Humvee CUCV =Cucvee HEMTT =Hemmit CCKW =?

I see on a lot of gun trucks with the front of the hood painted yellow. I have seen a few non-gun-trucks with the yellow on the nose too. What does this signify?

I am too broke right now :( . http://wyoming.craigslist.org/car/745973640.html

I have been comparing pictures of 113s and 114s and it looks like the angle on the front of the 114s is more "airodynamic" than the 113s. Are the drivetrains similar? Are the layouts similar? Basically, these APCs look similar to my ignorant eye, and I want to know if they are really similar...

This is a mere 15 miles away from me, but I have no idea as to true value: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=3864263&cat=&lpid=1
