In which Pic are you referring? The Tan 718 in the last post belongs to another member ? Just sayin...........Bill

Thanks! Thanks for the link ...... did manage to find a pair I had trade fodder to cover.........very frustrated that I am so close ...................but ......so far.....lol :shock:

Well I did manage some forward momentum on the SOCOM Pinz. I scored a low mileage VORTEC 4.3 V-6,4L60E,computer, and wiring harness from a 2001 Blazer that came out of GSA. The way the trade ended up.........I made money to take it......HOOO >>HHHHOO!!!! brightened my outlook considerably...

Well the update is that like so many of my fellow Americans I am "Laid off work" and so my hobby must take a sideline to priorities. Still trading, planning and doing what I can but it has all but put me at a standstill. I am still determined to :grd:but it will just take me longer that's...

Well as I have heard it said more more than once in my life "The best laid plans of mice and men..............." The summer keeps slipping away and no forward progress can be reported on my Pinz :???: Seems the harder I try to get the shop up and functional the farther from it I drift!!! Life...

Well I gotta say Aberdeen proved to be a real goldmine for the rest of my parts list for the SOCOM pinz. project I scored the CTIS controller from an M-35A3 with the manifold set-up and harness this will make for a much better time hooking the CTIS back up! also got an FMTV heater assy. that...

Well DSO_351 glad you swung by! I haven't taken any of the drop gears down yet,as I want to be confident when I do that I am not screwing anything up that will cause additional work. I will try and pull one down here soon so a posi. I.D. can be made and repair parts secured. I will...

I scored a full set of LED lights that will be on the SOCOM PINZ, now I'm trying to find a set of the new LED headlights like they are using on the new HEMTT's and the MATV's anybody out there that can "HELP A BROTHER OUT" ? also anyone that has been following this thread that can now ID the...

Been picking up more info and parts for this unit,got some NOS HUMMV stuff to replace parts the Govt.loped up. Still no word on the fate of the PINZ's in the above pics. As DSD277 points out if these units were just a wweeee bit older they could be registered in U.S. but such is life,can...

Yes our government says it is OK to give these to other countries that are friendly to U.S today and our enemies next week ,but let it's own citizens want to posses them and we grind them into a useless pulp to deny any benefit of the taxpayer's who's hard earned money helps pay for their...

More spec ops pinz's Thought all you PINZ fans might want to see what your tax dollars bought, shame they will probably make corn flakes out of them!!!............SICK MINDS AT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is all I can say. popacom /Bill :deadhorse:

Pinz p.s. Maybe I can squeeze a few in here! [thumbzup]

Hopeful Well today is the first day the temps have looked promising in a very LOOOOOOONNNG time,and to say I am ready for warm weather is a huge understatement !!! A couple of weeks and I may actually be able to get something done at the shop. I had a long conversation with a very...

I am for sure using the 710 body for the project, but I am not sure if I will leave the tub at stock length yet or not. Kinda depends on how the chassis and drivetrain turns out. I have figured that I will work out the major kinks there with the body close at hand to do strategic...

I swear I am gonna have a nervous breakdown over this project!!! The weather here SUCKS!!!! and I am so anxious to get started,and before I can I have to get the rest of my military parts moved to my new shop and finish the shop up. Anybody know where I can get myself cloned X about 6.LOL...

I guess you are the only person I have heard from that actually has a 716 Dave (I'm envious) LOL As I am studying the differences I am wondering if the geared hub units from the HUMVEE are gonna match out right? When I first got the SOCOM 718 chassis I did'nt realize there was any...

Well Dave unlike when I started this little adventure (Failed to take any pics of the original SOCOM truck prior to dismantling for what was salvagable) when I do get started with the build on this truck I WILL be taking and posting pics as progress is made . I had'nt layed a tape to the...

Thanks for the info Dave! As I stated in earlier part of this saga ,I am not trying to keep this all Pinz.,Rather I want to expand on the Positives ,the parts I have ,and build a one of a kind unit that is my expression of my likes and dislikes. I am planning a 4.3 Vortec V-6 W/HD Built...
