My experence with pick ups can be nail biting. Ft. Carson and FT. Riley both will only let you pick up on Tue-Thur. and you must be on time. I think as long as you get in contact with the site that has the stuff they may allow some more time if you don't ask you will never know. Make sure you...
My wife was planing on attending the event but the M1010 sprung a leak (fuel) that she felt was unsafe. That mecanical fuel pump is a PITA to replace I did a search here on how to do it and everyone who has done it is right (its not for the light hearted). it was leaking around the crimp seal on...
I'm not sure about the 12v deal but I found there is a relay that is always on if the switch on the black out lights is left in the on position. That switch must be in the off position if the truck is not in use. It goes for both black out and service lights positions. It only seems to be an...
It kind of looks like this. It was used and the mechanizum that holds it in place (lifting the front wheels up) was inop. This piture I got was off the web and only has 2 wheels mine has 4 wheels; 2 swivel and 2 stationary. All I'll be using is the hand rails and the steps. It is made out of steel.
I dealt with the dragon lady a while back. I was 1 hour early for pick up. Did not want to be late because I herd I would be required to reschedule for another day. The responce I got from her from being early was so bad I made up my mind right there I would never get anything there again. I did...
Caliber1,

Ok here are the pix:
The hook is on the inside and attaches to the buckel on the outside.
To hold the canvas tight there are straps that go around the last bow
This is why it took me awhile to get to the pix
Also the Broncos were playing in town and I had to see it!
Just a question. Isn't the propose of this site to help everyone with info on keeping the old iron going? Looking at the first post I took it as someone was looking for info on a sorce to aquire the part needed or maybe a civy equilivent. But you guys could be right maybe its a rule thing.aua
Bighurt, I got it from here under the old classifies. The member is in Texas And shipping was not cheap. The crate was about 8 feet long X 3 foot wide X 2 foot tall and weighed in I think about 300lbs. Too much for UPS, USPS or Fedex parsel. We used a bid thing online for shipping (u-ship). It...
I'll get some pix this week end of the straps and post them. if you look at the 2nd post pix1 is of the strap on the inside and pix4 if you click on you can see the loop that the hook goes into. Its the same on the rear. My cover is the new style ruberized canvas, but the was more than one...
