Thanks Rob, you are a wealth of knowledge.
 I guess I am looking Stateside for M1008 axles. Was hoping ours were the same as there is the odd wrecked 5/4t out there cheap...

Speaking of 5/4 T axles...
When we got our brand new vehicle in '76, me being Bn Sig O checked out all the kit that was issued with the vehicle. There was a Deviation Record attached to the Check List which listed the components of the Unstucker...a self recovery device which had cast drums attached to the rear axles and a pully arrangement to give you self propelled extraction. That DR never was filled and I have neither heard nor seen this device on any 5/4. Guess the Army figured that Bluebell was always available.

The adapter plates themselves were standard on each truck.....it was the drums and the ropes that were rarely seen in those days. We mechanics eventually got tired of having to use two different sockets to remove the back wheels and the adapter plates were "stored" out in the scrap metal bin.
I have those plates for mine, but do you think I could find 7 more of the long chevy adapter lug nuts??

Thanks Alain, thats what I was thinking. A whole truck sometimes is cheaper and wreck myself. I guess it just comes down to time and price.

Here is someone selling the bottom half of a 5/4ton. It isn't an M1008, but it might do depending on the project you have in mind.
He was at $1,200 a while back. Now is down to $800. http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehic...AdIdZ383628536 If you don't want to bring it all back home, just bring it here (we are about 20-30mins away), pull the axles and leave us the rest. We could use some of the parts for our 5/4ton. Is an idea.
