I was the Property Book Officer for several of my units. Registration Numbers are assigned to new vehicles and remain the same for the life of the vehicle. This is the same for all accountable vehicles, weapons, and equipment. Registration numbers are used for accountability and only that. The agenc...

Sorry for slow reply. Still breaking in my new replacement shoulder. No metering rod here. The idle mix is controlled by a needle valve. You just open the air bleed needle for idle fuel mix. Closing the needle shuts off the air, not the gas. Some folks think they are shutting down the gas and close ...

First time out with a new purchase and I'm at 14,000 feet, having started at 850 feet.. http://www.texaspowerwagon.com/52COPass.jpg My only adjustment based on my experience driving single barrel, flat head Mopars was that, as I got higher, I had to lean up the fuel/air mixture. http://www.allpar.co...

My point was that we don't need ten or twenty posts to answer a question that is answered in the TM. Maintaining a Forum requires that someone pay out of their own pockets. My Kempner Power Wagon Museum site costs me about $100 a year. I get plenty of thanks when I see that some one who actually vis...

I offended a a regular poster on one of these forums when I provided an image with the correct nomenclature and both the Chrysler and the Army part numbers. My intention was to help him get the part he needed without the risk of paying a scammer for an incorrect part. His reaction was, "We can'...

Howdy from Kempner, Texas, I barely got things put away from the trip to Fairfield and went into the hospital for a shoulder replacement. My movement is restricted so I have the luxury of going back and reading all the posts in each thread in each Forum. First of all, did you have any loss or damage...

Generally, the Korean was fought with WW2 equipment. M37's replaced WW2 WC's and were delivered to all the services. They were painted a color unique to each of those services. (USA, USMC, USAF, and USN) When the Korean War ended, we entered the "Cold War" and made the transition to a whol...

This was most likely a failure of the water distribution pipe.

To be sure we are clear... You are referring to the left or drivers side of the vehicle. This marking would be on your right side as you face the vehicle - from the front or from the rear. The third group, "HHB" is not authorized by AR 850-5 including all changes through 10, 25 March 1944;...

Okay, Tom… here’s this old soldier’s take on it. Remember that I did most of my twenty years in civilian clothes. There was even a time I wore a beard. When I was drafted, I was asked about my background experience. I told them playing the saxophone, water skiing, and telling a few tall tales. My fi...

...the Army did not have a fleet of show quality, pristine, flawless vehicles that were competing for prizes at some MVPA show. They had a fleet of combat ready trucks (No combat ready truck ever passed inspection). I'm sure any repair you do will be better than what the military would have done.&q...

Everyone else does...

You will need to do some more homework. You say you want a true military cab, (i.e. push out windshield with arms, NOT crank out). Some early true closed cab military pickup trucks had the civilian style dash board with civilian instruments and crank out windshield. Are you aware of the difference(s...

My error. I usually put on my steel pot when I go to one of the military Dodge web sites. It helps me remember that we are discussing all the fine Dodge military trucks that served to preserve the American way of lie. I still had my "pot" on when I posted. And I was looking at a photo of a...
