Did this over the summer and just now getting around to posting it. I put in a spring seat on the passenger side and wanted a center console of sorts for stashing things. Since there really isn't much space for a middle seat anyways, this is what I went with. No new holes in the cab floor...

Here is the link for information. www.veteransweekend.com There's some pictures on the site from last year, plus an old posting here. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/38991-s-e-michigan-wwii-veterans-weekend-09-pics.html

Just received word that the show is cancelled due to weather.

Finally got the pics off my camera to post. This was held at Veteran's Memorial Park in St. Clair Shores, MI. Lots of vehicles, vendors, reenactors. The best part was the LVT and Higgins boat used in the reenactments, plus the owner of the LVT was giving rides in Lake St. Clair! I loved the...

In a project that I have been working on, I needed a rubber grommet for wiring to pass through 1/4" thick frame. Not finding one at my local GOOD hardware store, I came across an option that can be found at just about any auto parts store. It is a PCV grommet from older Fords. It requires a...

Anyone going? I'm planning on bringing both trucks. The 1st Annual Romeo Military Rally is coming soon! Romeo Lions Club

I am in process of making a dump trailer using a trailer frame and a deuce bed, but am not sure if I need to use wood sills, or isolators, between the bed and the trailer frame. What have you guys with custom dumpers done? There are wood sills shown in the 809 series parts manual, but I seem...

I have searched for some pics or ideas on deuce bed removal with a crane and didn't find anything. I need to pull a deuce bed, but don't see any good places at/near the corners to support it from without possible damage to the bed. The manual just shows an overhead hoist with cables going to...

The TM section is in the old site, and is not allowing me to add new ones.

I have the paper service manual for the M119 semitrailer (thanks Kenny), but it does not have any parts lists. There is one on the LOGSA site, but it kept giving me an error when I tried to download it. I emailed the help desk and got this response. Sir, The manual is not restricted. You...

yada yada

Who is going? It is supposed to be a big event. I'm planning on bringing both trucks. Here is their website's front page, there is a link to the event on the top left. http://vfwbrucepost1146.org/VFW%20Home.html Featuring: ***Militaria Vehicle Rally & Displays*** ***WWII Military...

Finally got to pick up my M119 from Lansing on Friday. I moved the 5th wheel back before picking it up to clear the super singles. Trailer is in good shape overall. Of course the brake lines were damaged from a fork lift, and when I tried the lights they tripped the breaker, so had to wire up...

Ok, so I have been thinking of the issues with tire clearance to the landing gear when towing some trailers with military tractors, and decided to figure out some math on the effects of moving the 5th wheel back. Specifically, I am considering this on a M932 w/w, though the weights and...

Does anyone know the distance from the kingpin to the landing gear on this trailer chassis? Just wondering if I can tow it with a 5 ton and 14.00 singles.

I cannot find it on Logsa or in our TM selection. Does anyone have a pdf copy of it? This is for the South Wind powerplant (coolant) heater. Mine does not seem to want to fire.

What is going on with closing prices not being shown on auctions for many things? It seems that many of the trucks I watch, the final price is no longer shown, but other things are. An example of this is the last M35A3's a couple weeks ago and the M945's that closed yesterday. What purpose...

Where can you find these? I've asked parts dealers in the past to no avail.

I've seen a lot of various posts, equally divided with some saying their truck is very hard to warm up, and others saying theirs runs up pretty good to 180. Well my deuce has always stayed on the cold side, around 160F, unless I had the cover buttoned up good and was on the highway and in...

It looks like the back of a HEMTT with crane, but it has landing gear and a drivetrain, but no tongue. OSHKOSH TRUCK CORP. MK-17A1 P/ N: 2189400 LVS TRAILER W/ WAJAX PK19000M HYDRAULIC CRANE, TRAILER CAP. 11, 000 LBS. , BOOM EXTENSION TO WEIGHT CAP AT 45 DEGREES 10. 5'@12, 900 LBS. , 14...
