Hey, it's not as though this is some kind of cover for a "club event" thereby allowing me to run Historic Vehical tags on my duce for a deer hunting trip. Come on what do you take me for??
If anyone is serious about showing up We'll be in the GP Medium with 2 duces and a 1009. NW of Ralph, on...
A fuel tank for the guy that likes to mess with the attendnt at the full service island!! So unless the guy is not your average petrochemical transfer specialist I'm gussing you fill your self. (not one that subscribes to the "KISS" theory?) ~ Pappa-g [thumbzup]

Main camp is open to SDDC club members only, nonclub members are welcome to stop by for a cup of joe. All non MV's...
Possible Oh heck yes. Just extend the frame a good 10" foward of the firewall get a solid axel set up out of an old dump truck and design a steering set up. Put in the engine of choice and wire it up be sure to get some tape and wire nuts. Put in a bigass 18spd tranny out of a Western Star...
The tubeless tire must have a tube for use on your split rims. Flaps will lengthen the life of the tube but depending what you read they may or may not be absolutely necessary. ( see usa6x6.com

How about a 2.5 ton trailer box but make it a dump box. or go with the single axle and extend the cab further for a "staff car" wagon look. A big soft top would give it that 1930's gangster appeal.
The paint color is the color that they paint Black Hawk helocopters. I got a sample and took it to Home Depot and they color matched it in flat exterior laytex, 3 gallons and a Wagner power painter later bada~bing and cleans up with soap and water! If you are serious I can get the colorant mix...
I wouldn't pay more than $4k unless it was in musuem condition or a gun truck. But thats just me spend what it's worth to you I'm what you call cheap tight -POOR.
Armada has switched his from a D to a C. He Loves it. There is no doubt what it is when you hear it. I drove it today for an hour or two and I (me, the guy w/muffler and sound proofing) must admit that it is pretty cool. If it's what you want, go for it! [thumbzup] ~Pappa-G
A quick update, I was able to install a continuous use relay for a snow plow ( retail $11.90) The parts place had a 24 volt unit for a golf cart for $64.00 HA!
The 12 volt relay works fine and the lights will smoke the eyes out of any on comming traffic!!
Thanks for all the help ~ Pappa-G
I belong to a NG Helo unit and they have been using JP8/JetA in their CUCV's for as long as I can remember. They also use it in thier M35's, HEMMIT's and LAV's. I guess it's easier if every thing burns the same fuel. The only draw back I have noticed is the jetfuel has less power. ~ Pappa-G
The neat thing is all the "new" noises that you'll hear while you put your first 500 miles on the rebuild. It is truely a great thing turning a anchor into a runner, Good Job! [thumbzup] ~ Pappa-G
Last weekend I put a M109 box on my M185, chains and gravity will get them off (the old one) We ended up jacking the new one up and holding it up with a 4x4 on each corner then let the jacks down. Had to deflate my tires quite abit to get under and clear everything. Neither of us got hurt so I...
The rears are out from the fronts by atleast half the tread width. I am still running on the "thimbles". From what I understand the front lug nuts will fit just fine.
I found these local. I wanted to run duals in the rear but have been unable to find any for a decent price. Berg Tire is a real...
