You obviously have not seen Mexican car haulers
You guys must have never seen the Mexican car haulers on I-10 in LA or MS. If I were to try to haul vehicles like they obviously can with impunity, I would be stopped.
"Lil' Red" on my truck
I put my wife's nickname from her teenage years on my truck: Lil' Red
I NEVER get any complaints from her about the truck.....
Before I put a name on it, I spoke with a friend who was on these trucks in VietNam. I asked him about personal markings on trucks. He told me...
Outstanding event!
I just want to say that the Settoon family are some of the warmest and most hospitable folks on earth!
I enjoyed meeting all of you there. I hope that I can finally have my truck there next year.
I apparently was playing tag with someone who expressed interest in my M66...
I need blinker lens, new tach
I need a blinker lens for the turn signal (they are blue or green), and a new tach. I want to put a new one on with this engine overhaul that is going on. My old one is bouncy, and I figure that this is a good time to change it.
M66 ring, cradle, partial leg set
I have an M66 ring and a cradle that I can make available. I also have a partial leg set. These are extras that I came into when I was shopping for a setup for my M35A2. I will part with these items for what I have in them. I will only want to sell the...
Photos from USS Alabama event
Here are some shots from the event at the USS Alabama. This is NOT all inclusive. I know that I failed to photograph many fine trucks. Please supplement this post with photos that you shot!
Great rally!
I drove in again although without my still-sick M35A2.
Friday was a tad slow, but on Saturday the area was packed with great vehicles and outstanding MV folks!!
We plan to be there!
We plan to be there! The truck was in the paint shop during the 2010 event. Once we got it back, we started the long road of fuel injector pump/fuel injectors/head gaskets.....
IF all goes well, we will try to crank it again by next weekend.
If all goes really well, we...
Fat guy solution
I have no cushion at present on my bx seat back and I fit just fine. I am building new seat cushions throughout my M35A2. I am using military surplus sleeping pads - those .5" thick very dense foam pads, and laminating them. We used these at church when we made new pads to go...
They could send their army at us armed with salad forks, and we would run out of bullets AND have our barrels melted AND they could probably still overrun us just due to sheer numbers.
China
REALLY?????
Do you remember the P3 that one of their fighters rammed a few years ago and the crew were treated like dirt? The P3 was gone through like it was a war prize. This was under Bush's watch.
Do you remember when Clinton was president and he made sure that the Chinese got the...
$$ into M35A2
If you have been following the thread on my M35A2 at the sandblaster, you know that I have spent some money on it.

I am not putting the amount on here, but suffice it to say that I put more into the...
Dc-3/c-47
tricycle gear on a DC3/C47?? NO. Perhaps some post-war mods were tried, but the bird was conventionally-geared (taildragger).

After the legal issues...
IN addition to the issues already stated that need attention, be sure to bleed the air tanks, and check the belts and hoses. Then, recheck them. I had the belts cut lose, the truck overheated, and then my radiator went ***BLAM!*** with me and my truck creating quite...
