    GL and the SF-97 goofs

    When I called Jean to thank here for her help - she said that her part of the office was under "Paper" and at times overwhelmed in trying to keep up. But she also said not vary many called to say "THANKS" The truck is rated for 23500 - I wanted mine set just under the 26000 cdl limit for my farm.

    Viet Nam CONEX boxes

    I found 2 that were newer - one with a single door and one like you show. Last year I found a radio box for the deuce - it's about 25 years old. When the weather clears I'll take some pics of them

    Deuce Starter Solenoid

    An old quick fix for solenoids when we didn't have any money back in the dark ages, was to take them apart and turn the brass bolts around since the base of the bolt was square - and run it till they burnt out again - maybe another 5 years. If the internals of the solenoid is the same this will...

    US Army no longer plans to purchase Humves

    I was on Base here yesterday and was told that all of the Humvee s the guard had were being up-fitted to armor and A/C to comply with the future need. The ones I looked at had only front cab bullet proofed and boy were they cramped. Little people comfort only - as much a stock hummer can give.

    SF-97 - time limit to request after win?

    The GL Rep at the local yard didn't send the signed invoice for my truck or it was misplaced, so I got a call from GL after a week of filling out my on line form and they ask me to verify by e-mail that I had mine home. Then they would process my SF-97 form. Look at my comment at (GL and...

    HELP!!! Advice needed with GL

    For my 2cents - I call my CC comp. first and tell them I am going to bid and aprox. how much. I have them make a note on my acct. - then call GL and make sure that they have the right cc info. This works for me since I buy at other auctions from time to time and find that a few calls in...

    GL and the SF-97 goofs

    Chuck; both documents said"Cargo Trailer" gov. one and GL All paper work I filled out say "Cargo Truck" as does the original invoice. But in the whole scheme of things this matters not.

    GL and the SF-97 goofs

    Chuck; I think this thread is well past it's useful purpose. Different mind sets - different views. The paper work by the way from GL was - A certificate to obtain title to a Vehicle - from the US Gov. and a Re-Assignment of SF-97 from GL in Scottsdale Az. Notarized by a Notary in Az. To me...

    GL and the SF-97 goofs

    My grammatical errors cost no one time nor money. GL has had a habit, if you read the posts, of making errors on a regular basis. In my work, detail is where the mistakes are, so we do something we call "do diligence". Also, have at least three others double-check to make sure that in our...

    GL and the SF-97 goofs

    Perhaps - but that is a state of mind - you could say the same for any of us that do not like what we do for a living. I design and build - if that was my mind set, the buildings I built would fall down like those in Haiti. If some one does not like repetition in their work there are other...

    GL and the SF-97 goofs

    Of all things I never thought I would see is a gov. doc. no one reads - except health care. My SF-97 came today - oh wonderful, time to title --------------- except it is for a "Diesel M35a2c Cargo Trailer" and the reassignment letter is also for the same trailer. I called the lady that...

    New guy from Northern Indiana

    Welcome - don't get discouraged when you buy or bid, look, listen, put hands on and insist on a title from private owner- check now for requirements in your state to license your vehicle and insure it, time well spent on the front end. Know ahead of time or you WILL get a pain in the pit of your...

    14.00 on stock rims?

    Guys; every one is forgetting the fact that this truck was designed for a load of 2 and 1/2 tons payload - brakes and all - so if you BoB or not - tires are a mote point when you are unloaded. It was made to stop a load of - X - with NO load it still stops the weight it was designed for. tires...

    engine block / pan / water heaters, road trip north Saturday

    Look at the thread about the International block heater w/ 3/4" ntp threads with cord, part # is in thread. This is a over the counter item @ IH parts dealers Also don't forget that hard starting can be caused by the plate at the bottom of the fuel pump - it could have fallen off or could be...

    Still waiting for my Deuce to be released by GL

    It's the wait that drives you nuts - after you bid and get the truck your mind sees you driving it - then the HOLD or EUC dilemma - the wait is a black hole. Then your mind goes into overtime wondering "IF" Glad you got yours - so many did not this year. Hope deferred is hard to deal with -...
