In my last video I got this truck on the road, in this video I get it off the road! I take care of a lot of little details, and then test it out with what ended up being about three hours of off-road driving. It ran great, really better than I expected. This Chevrolet G506/M6 Bomb Service Truck is starting to come together, now I can just hop in and drive! (If I add brake fluid first...)

Your channel reminds me so much of when my father in law was alive, and he had a shpo much like yours. He was retired and new everyone in west Texas, so he was always dragging in wierd projects to work on. We sure had a lots of fun and I miss him a bunch. Thanks for the fun projects, and the logo "If you're not having fun you're doing it wrong". That fits life perfectly.

Suggestion: Could you raise the pressure in the forward/inner tyres to, for example 45psi? And lower the pressure in the outside tires to 8 psi for example. Maybe the steering will be a lot easier on pavement, since the weight is (mostly) carried on the higher inside tyres. In soft sand the outside wheels start to help floatation.

I agree. Normally tires like that are 65 psi but in this case less on the outers makes sense.

What a fun truck! My grandfather taught me to drive in a 1952 Dodge Powerwagon. It only had single front wheels but was a bear to steer. I can only imagine how huch work it is with two extra tires. There was a good reason for the huge steering wheel.

I drove a G506, not unlike yours, one Summer about 42 years ago collecting firewood and rebuilding fence on a ranch in western Texas. There were times I enjoyed it but as a work truck it did a great job working over anyone that had to drive it. This brought back some nostalgia. Thanks

My Dad was a WWII veteran, served in North Africa, Sicily and Italy. He was primarily in maintenance, but in the Armys infinite wisdom, was also a cook. He and his buddies would get together at our cabin, drink beer, and bullshit, telling the more stories as the beer flowed. I soaked it up like a sponge. One thing that seemed constant, is that to keep moving, they would adapt and improvise everything, as you do. Later, I worked at the big national Guard base where Dad and many did that he served with. Not much changed, as the they worked on late war equipment, Korean up to more modern (Vietnam era), and has you might imagine, a similar hodgepodge of parts. I was in hotrod nirvana, learning, listening and driving every manner of military stuff I could! Had a military license that enabled me, a 16 year old civilian kid, to drive forklifts, jeeps, 151, trucks and such up to 5 ton. My testing? My boss, Sergeant Gammon, asked his boss Major Borgstrom to get a license "for the kid"! Had on next day! You would have fit right in with them! High praise. Best job I ever had! Almost enlisted, except for the idea of having to spend time in SE Asia. Thanks for envoking those memories. Now this old guy has to find an old Mb or CJ tub to play with before I leave!

I was stationed at Ft Hood in 98 at 1-7 Cav. They had duece and a halves. I remember busting my knuckles and fingers on the manual steering. The steering wheel was steel coated in hard plastic very similar to yours. I remember grinding those gears so bad when I was learning to drive them. I got pretty good after a few months. We got LMTVs in 99 or 00 and I was glad to to those old trucks go.

When you were refilling the front axle with gear oil,it looked like the axle knuckle was really dry,that will add a bunch of steering resistance. Could be the previous owners tightened up the wipe seals on the axle ends to mitigate oil loss, but cranked them up too tightly. I seem to remember an older gentleman saying that he used leather for the seal material, and it was fairly thick,like 3/8" or so,and the knuckles also have grease fittings top and bottom. Don't know if the steering box is completely worn out,but it definitely could use some adjustments, considering how far you have to saw the steering wheel side to side to stay on the road.Catch you on your next adventure!😎😎😎
