Could you share a couple pics Dipstick?

Sorry for your loss... <<<< your father's M37 reminded me a lot of one my father rode me around in as a child... my first MV experience...

Thanks for the heads up hungryhunter ​ ... I kept coming across these wondering what the story was... not sure they would be "excellent for a deuce", especially for steer tires...

Thanks for your input Gerhard. I would certainly like to see if that would work since there is such a good surplus of 11.00x20 tires out there... Section8... love to see some pics of your wheels and know what tires you eventually mount up. How hard are the MLVW wheels to find in your neck of...

Section8, What about cutting the centers out of the MLVW rims and welding in M35a2 centers? Wouldn't this give you a cool tubeless 2 piece 20" stock-looking deuce wheel? Anxious to see what Gerhard says about tire options for the MLVW wheel. If the outlook is good... maybe I'd take a couple...

Gerhard, Hoping you can tell me what would be an appropriate tire to run on the Canadian 20x8 wheels (MLVW, right?) would be. The stock wheel was a tubeless Michelin XL, right? Could a Goodyear G177 or Firestone T831 be used on this 2 piece wheel, and tubeless? I could not find any concise...

They do not extend. If you want them to extend past the sides of the truck to maximize the use of your crane, generally, the length of your outriggers is limited by the width of the bed (about 8'). They would be staggered and extend about half their width (4', maybe a little more) so that there...

Ah I see now. Before we went to delivery by crane, we delivered by conveyor truck and it had these stiff leg outriggers too. The biggest problem I ran into with these outriggers is if you change the load characteristics of the truck, you could add too much weight on the stabilizers to pull the...

If you mean "M756 pipeline truck", was curious too. I googled it and searched the site and could not figure out what the M756 uses for stabilizers or outriggers... what am I missing?

Congrats on the crane purchase!! I have never run a Fassi myself, but would be interested in folks opinions of them. I have run IMT, Effer, and PM with PM being my favorite so far. We just got a few new trucks in our company with Hiab cranes and the drivers seem to be pleased with them. I want...

This thread was started in 2005 and brought back again in 2009... so I hope no one minds another 4 year revival... :whistle: The OP was wondering what folks thoughts were on using the M104A3 trailer wheels (one piece, tubeless, 22.5") as an alternative rim on the deuce. I couldn't find any pics...

I run a knuckle at work and always thought that it would be real handy around the house...now you got me thinkin bout doing this too. It is cool to see you guys putting these on ole' deuces!! Thanks for posting this stuff...hope you guys post more cause I'm subscribed...:grin:

On most Windows based systems, the easiest way to save big pics that won't let you save by right-clicking is by hitting the "PrtScn" (Print Screen) button on the upper right hand side of your keyboard...then open the "Paint" program on most Windows systems...select the "Select" icon (the dotted...

It has made reading this thread extremely irritating ...like a bunch of girls commenting negatively on Britney Spears new outfit ..."umm ...like ...really?" I'm new here, but I already see a trend with some folks trolling their own beloved site that certainly have enough knowledge to be helpful...

This is right on. Last time my wife and I went we stayed at the Marriott Courtyard next to the ATF Headquarters and parked the car in the hotel's garage (a little expensive, but super nice and it was our anniversary)...didn't drive it again till we packed up to leave. I'm not crazy about leaving...

gusto1... What about local steel fabricators or building supply? Maybe do some part time home fuel delivery? I operate a mobile crane for a roofing and siding supplier and couldn't be happier. I aquired my CDL A just in case I ever had to go over the road, but I have made a pretty good living on...

Scarecrow1... funny I was just in Florence Sat. night... my father retired to Florida and it is our half-way point on our way home... I was not looking forward to coming back to the snowy Northeast!! jcappeljr... heck... thats not a bad trip!! ...down 273, across the Conowingo Dam, and up...

I live in Delaware and work right down the street from the New Castle, Delaware GL yard...I am new to this military surplus game, but I am not new to heavy trucks... I drive a tri-axle flatbed with a frame mounted crane for a building supply company... have had my CDL "A" for 17 years or so and...

Hello all...I am a heavy truck/crane operator living in Northern Delaware...and I love all things on wheels with an engine!! Some of my first memories are of riding in surplus military vehicles donated to my father's local voluntary fire department...so I have a natural gravity towards big...
