    Towing fifth wheel with cucv

    I would bet that it would be very slow. My dad would take us camping in the mountains around Bishop, CA and Silver Lake, CA. We had a 25 foot 5th wheel and an 86 crew cab GMC with 4.10 and and np435 that had an ATS turbo system. It would pull the grade out of Bishop at 35 mph tops. That is at...

    Relocating heater intake duct inside cab?

    I don't no about where you live, but the biggest problem out here is the dust from dirt roads. By having an intake on the outside, fresh air is pulled from outside and the cab is pressurized some, hence positive pressure, and that helps prevent dust infiltration even on a soft top vehicle...

    11:00x20 duals on Deuce with snow chains

    Clark Truck has what you're looking for. Integrated Parts Systems - 4851R - Reinforced Dual Triple Chains 4851r= I would look elsewhere though, too rich for my blood at $464.00 per set of duals :shock:!

    Metal shavings in the transmission

    Seth_O is right. Metal parts will always produce some fine filings or shavings when they are new until they wear down to a better fit. Same reason why the first oil change on new engines are recommended earlier than the normal service. When you see large chuncks, its time to worry. I always...

    Military "Cattle-Cars"

    I remember riding in the cattle cars at Ft. Leonard Wood in 2002. Ours had wooden benches down the center and sides in addition to the poles. Weren't allowed to use the benches though. They were pulled by GMC Topkicks. There were only 69 recruits in my platoon. All training to be 12Bravo...

    Wheel covers?

    I wonder how much time it would take to paint one with the Multicam pattern? I am kind of concerned about applying to good of a camo job, I already had a hit and run driver back into my OD painted Jeep Cherokee like it was nothing in the middle of a parkinglot surrounded by tan buildings. I...

    Wheel covers?

    When I think about chrome on a duece, I only think of black chrome. It would be like a gloss black powdercoat with a smooth finish instead of the orange peel texture. I could see having the stock rims black chromed along with the mirrors, the stack powdercoated a gloss black and a dark green...

    Surplus F-15

    I know for sure that they get your attention when they are lining up on you.:shock: I cover the area around Willcox, AZ and they like to train close to this area. If I am out running a survey, they like to check out what I am doing. They really like to line up on the work truck and sidexside...

    My new M16A2 Half Track

    There is an M16-A1 with quad mount fifties on the armor page at Military Vehicle Sales and Appraisal Service. It is fully restored and they are looking to get $55,000 for it. You would probably get a better idea if you contact the guy that runs Gary's Halftrack Parts as he deals with parts and...

    muffled the roar

    Just wondering if anyone has ever used a spray on coating like Lizard Skin or a product like it? Summit Racing's description says a 2-4 DB reduction and up to a 30 degree reduction in temperature. It is paintable and would allow original appearance I would think. Lizard Skins website is...

    M35 Gear Shifting correct

    I totally got confused on that, everything I have been driving in the past year has either a standard 5 speed, standard 5 speed with 2 speed rearend or a Roadranger in it.

    Too fat to fit

    I totally agree about eating better. I just have a sweet tooth that fights like **** when I try to give them up. The only thing I have to worry about fitting into right now is a Freightliner bobtail, but that is not much of a problem as I am 6' 1" and 220 lbs. Only problem is, I used to be 6'...

    M35 Gear Shifting correct

    Thanks Hammer, I haven't been in a duece in a year. The farmer I was working for sold it. I keep looking for one, but money is sort of an issue right now.

    M35 Gear Shifting correct

    I noticed that he speedometer seems to be broken or disconnected as it never moved in the video, but his shifting sequence is making me wonder. I thought that 4th gear in a Multi-Fuel was up where it would normally be in third, so my question is: is he shifting from 4th low to 4th high and...

    Deuces hard on asphalt?

    In response to dittle's post about the weight of his truck, back in June of 2001, my dad ordered a new Ford F350 crewcab, diesel, 6 spd manual, extended wheel base dually with a 9 ft service body. The service body only comes up to the height of the rear window. This truck weighed in at the...

    Crew Cab M880?

    My dad served in the Navy between 1971-1977 and said that they had a couple of trucks that were dodge crewcab longbed versions that personnel could use to go off base. This would have been 1976 and part of 1977 in the Phillipines though. They were painted Navy grey.

    I am Wondering... Noob questions inside

    I have seen a picture of the one with the 4 doors and the tandems and long bed that I believe Mandalore is describing. It is a M36A2 with a regular M35 12' bed instead. I just can't remember where I saw it as I was thinking of doing the same but using a M109 box and making it a camper.

    Cutting through 13mm Armor...and installing windows.

    BRDM2nco, I believe that what you have is not a BRDM2 but is a D-442 FUG or OT-65 as a BRDM2 is much blockier. There is a couple of videos of a OT-65/BRDM2 mix that shows the version with side windows like what you are wanting on the www.russianmilitary.co.uk website. Look in the film gallery...

    Grenade Shifter

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Grenade Shifter I have one from Quadratec in my jeep cherokee. I wish I had a picture of it to post. Here is the Quadratec site: http://www.quadratec.com/products/96117_700.htm They are $45 but you don't have to do any machining.
