Pair of m818

Figured I would a a pic or to of my pair of hotrods. Altho they aren't fast they sure do get a lot of smiles and stores told to us when we take them out on the town down town indy.

One on the left is a 1970 5 ton kiaser jeep converted to a duece bed cargo truck, right side is a per April 1, 1971 5 ton kaiser jeep tractor

Also forgot to mention left side truck is on 14r20s (49") and right side truck is on 16r20s (53")

Cool! I've always wanted one of those 5 ton trucks. Figured it'd make a perfect daily driver!

Hey, CP. Pick you up on the way down? Only one condition, I absolutely have to be back in the Fort by early the next day.

Ya as long as you can swing it as a daily driver they average 6 mpg no matter how you drive it. Bob tailing or fully loaded

M931A2....

Nice rig, I like the 931a1 a bit better. A touch simpler to work on and it's got a nhc250 in it like mine but the a2 does have nice power on the top end when pulling up a grade.

That looks like one of them they pulled out of a pond in Oklahoma last year, after the occupants had driven it into the pond accidentally back in '78 IIRC.

Cool! I need to make some changes then, our '78 C20 gets 9 empty or pulling a trailer.... and it's not near as capable...

Pontiac's have got to be easier than Olds.

I'm not so sure on that.... They both have their quirks, there are a couple really tricky to get out oil gallery plugs on the back of a Poncho.... I am revisiting the idea of freshening up the 350 in the car and rolling with it another few years before I can get to the 400. This will also allow me to do the brakes and some other needed things. I'd like to take a couple really long road trips this summer and with the current engine sucking coolant somewhere, that needs fixed... Will chat with my man tomorrow to see what we can do.
