Just checked out your website, and well..... Awesome! God Bless anyone who includes John Wayne! I am going to be at the Remington Factory in May for a week taking their Armorers courses. Would it be accetable to drop by your location and visit, drool and melt the Visa? I hope you guys don't...

Great ideas but if your gonna cut...... please get away from the 'dropping the tailer bed' on the back. Everyone seems to do great fab work, then (IMO) ruin it with the dorky undersized wheel wells etc. i think it totally ruins the balance and flow of the vehicle. ( I get it as far as...

I appreciate you guys looking into the numbers for me. I am going to hopefully get my outfits done inbetween Mosquito and Blackfly season here if the weather cooperates! Jim :beer:

Sorry, two more photos I hope.

Hey Brother, my apologies if you've already posted it.... but can you tell me the paint code number and brand you utilized for the truck. That is a sharp looking set up you have there. I will be doing some tweaking and fiddling about to put the HIAB crane and Short bed onto mine and figure I...

You Sir have been an 'Industrious Little Fellow' lol! If your a stickler for historical accuracy I suppose the NDT's have a place, but personally I think they suck as a tire. I will keep them on my M135 thats being restored. However I believe I will go the radial route with the 'Play' truck...

The Truck is really starting to acquire some character and take shape! Great job! Hopefully in a month and a bit it will be warm enough outdoors here to begin to do the same!

I didn't read back far enough initially. A toast young man to Mr. Arthur Garcia. A man who obviously had a positive influence on you in shaping your imagination, drive and passion for life and all things mechanical. May he ride with you in grace and style.

Carpeted.... Whats going on Kid? I get sidetracked with work and other day to day crap, only to come back to this Thread and what happens?? The Deuce is being turned into a 1973 Chevy 'Shaggin Wagon' Van. I suppose I could get used to 3" purple shag carpet covering the entire interior...

Thats was hilarious and creepy at the same time! I guess some of you were hoping that was the fall out from California finally dropping into the Pacific ocean! I dont know about human snow birds but I wish the real birds werent so **** lazy. The Canadian Geese have been so indoctrinated by left...

I'm just going by what the manual said came with the truck/crane. At least initially. I'm certainly not going to get too crazy on locating the Sunfab. My problem is I don't really have any experience with hydraulics/pumps or the cranes they're attached to lol! Tigertac- there is a complete...

I'm a bit slow. Just realized that I am a year out of date. My apologies. Thoughts are still the same. Maj. Winters passed away 02 January 2011.

I know, this is an MV Forum and this particular area isnt WWII related so much But......... If the opportunity presents itself raise a glass to the memory of a man who showed you could have dignity and be a great warrior. Major Richard "Dick" Winters, OC E Coy, 506th Regt, 101 AB Div, passed...

Well Junior, The Wheel Cylinders have been given a cursory cleaning by my Son for you, Of the 24 only 3 exterior rubber end pieces were disposed of due to splits or cracks. Should have them out to you this week. If you figure they arent worth the bother, paint them Blaze Orange and use them...

A Great Merry CHRISTmas (I like how that was put!) to all the G749 Weirdos in this world. I'd like to think we make the place a bit more interesting! Well, at least eccentric :D All the best to you and yours. Jim

Its a Sunfab Model A2-19 PTO driven hydraulic piston pump. It was used to operate the HIAB Model 172 RF Cranes mounted behind the cab of the M135 CDN MRT trucks. A manual from 1963 identifies it along with operating, maintenance instructions, However, I have never seen one . Just curious to...

It would be pretty cool if you think it through and get the balance right. I personally think the 'Bobbed' trucks that lop everything past the first rear axle look kind of dorky. With the M135 having smoother rounded lines in the front, putting a bed from an 105 trailer with square wheel well...

If you're bound and determined to rebuild wheel cylinders I will send you the 12 I just removed from my 52 M135. We replaced the 12. They will be the 1 3/8" size. Let me know as my wife will be heading to Michigan next week to empty UPS box. I can have my Boy's clean them up a bit, they are...

Hey Brother When you figure out your time table, give me a shout. Ralph is pretty accomodating as far as schedules are concerned. He will most likely be attending the Ontario Military Vehicle Association show on the 18th of February, then I'm off to the Good Ole USA for a Sig Sauer Armorers...

If you need the wheel cylinders from Niagara let me know. He is not all that far from me. Then when I check my UPS Store Box in Michigan I could send them to you. LIkely save you a bit with Cross Border shipping BS. Let me know if your interested. Jim :beer:
