all i can tell you is in the early 2000's a motorpool i drove past had a couple M35A2's that they singled out just by removing the outer duals and left the inners facing inward .. The trucks looked goofy as all hell :rolleyes: idk if this works but if there was an opportunity to grab a set of...

THANKS for the pics !!! Yes, they were fitted afterwards, without any doubt now ! .. Not just in AIT, but i ran into several "A0's" afterwards with other units as my time progressed, all with directionals , and all were in CONUS.. Probably one of those USDOT things, just like the...

amazing ! .. Years ago when i was regularly hauling loaded flatbeds and box trailers 120+ miles continuous with my M818 and the XM818 , the two trucks ran at different temps, especially on the climbs although the hotter one never got beyond 205 degrees .. I always took this to mean one...

common issue with the commercial gators as well , almost always screech only in reverse if e-brake is sticking .. Gator HPX 2005

"the first scratch hurts the deepest, baby i know .." :D

If the M151(A0's) did not have directionals, then yes it is plausible the first M416's were lamped like the M100's.. I do not know because in my experience beginning in the 1970's all the Mutts's, old and newer, had directionals. When i was in AIT for heavy motor transport, all three M151...

early-1960's with or after the introduction of the M151 but I do not know exactly when .. All M416's. I saw in the 1970's-up had twin taillights ... I have an M100 w/single stop/taillamp and am familiar with what you are referring to (y)

I have an M416 as well but i am pretty sure it has steel wheels but this post has me curious to double-check... Most trailers & wheeled vehicles still having the metal lamps had them replaced by the composite type in the 1980's , thus on older M416's the individual BO-stop lamp seen in the TM...

An M813 i sold, plus my M818 and an M818 i parted out have/had baffles-in .. My XM818 and M817 are baffles-out .. Motorpool pics i took in '78 or '79 show a mix of both situations. .. I recall a PS-Magazine discussion about changing out the fan bolts on the M809-series trucks but i wonder if...

i agree if you're talking about aftermarket ones.. The originals on my civvy '77 have been on it since new and still are holding up strong , same design, same size as my 880 and 890 .. But my civvy truck was built in canada and has a few oddities about it

i haven't seen any in some time but am interested as well.. I got a few on epay in its early years.. I have also replaced just the glass but that leaves deformities all along the edges of the frame, they are same housing as the civvy ones.... Have considered painting over the "chrome" but...

M890 , all military-use mileage except for the last 1900 or so

correct, i recall the M880's having turn buttons screwed to the body .. somewhere i have a pic of that setup i took in spring '78 or '79

cabs are identical externally .. Hole locations for pedals , lines, wires, (and if gasser, starter switch) will be different or non-existant.. Deuce dash is also different than early 5T in same sense of hole locations for switches etc

okay, thus it must also be affected by altitude .. So,,, with the Whatsit being mounted high on the firewall out of danger of fording operations, you add your current land elevation plus Whatsit height on truck, then multiply the result of the given polynomial by 1/3rd, then square that, then...

Pascal's theory applies to art .. No wait, that's Pastel's theorum.. Got my Crayola-sponsored class mixed up with the science class i withdrew out of after two weeks of being totally confused by assumed correlations between whatsits, doohickies, thingamabobs, gizmos, thingy's, and wtf's .. But...

i realize old post, so by now perhaps you've figured out just how heavy that M813's winch is and in addition how the M813 wheelbase puts more weight on the front axle, and that the number of spring leaves are same between them .. I have a M818 w/w and an M818 wo/w .. Yes winch trucks sit a bit...

You got it, it's a Whatsit. They are rounded, whereas Doohickkeys are more angular, but not always

glad you caught that .. :D .. am surprised it snuck past other readers, but maybe they were being kind and ignored it

always needed to do mine w/choke full-out until it wants to catch, then try it again with choke in and barely crack the hand throttle ... I always had to do same with the gasser 5-tons , regardless of the season or air temp ,, unless engine is already warm
