    Official 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade thread

    I and/or the rally can't help you with the sale or $$$, but I say to anyone that's on the other half of the country: We love the opportunity to meet hobby members from faraway places and if there's a way the rally can assist, we'll do it. I've been trying to lure NDT out here for years. I...

    Official 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 18-22, 2017

    Ok folks, sorry this took so long. I like to try and put these threads out about 6 months before the event, but it just didn't happen this year. Also, yes, I will pressure our videographer to finish editing all the 2016 footage. He does this for free and it's hard for me to really lean on him...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Your truck looks awesome. I have been bugging a friend to buy a set of 177s and do his truck in 24087. I just sent him these pics to further the cause.

    Put two multifuels into a warehouse and watch them multiply!

    I guarantee that's correct. I'll bet every one was worn out.

    Was told to get "back-up" lights, so,,,,,,

    Awwww man, I'm so flattered (Valence copying my idea). I keep hoping I'll start seeing deuces on Craigslist with "Clinto flasher relay mod" the way you see CUCVs with the "Doghead starter relay mod". I'm not Valence but I'll tell you how mine is. I had a variety of switches that needed to...

    1953 m104 ???

    I think that's an M104 data plate on something else, like an M105 / carpenters trailer. The M104 has a front gate, different parking brake handles and different landing gear. See: http://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m104_trailer.php If you forced me, I'd guess that's actually an...

    Reproduction fuel tank installed. Very happy

    Best I can do for now is this, I didn't think to shoot it when I had it apart. But I don't mind removing the cover this weekend, it's just 4 screws. I can send you some or post them here. I'll get them Saturday or Sunday and I'll see how cheap I can get it to 49506. Thanks C

    Reproduction fuel tank installed. Very happy

    Bought it from Emery. I had bought some stuff from him when I was trying to patch the old tank and he offered me the factory pickup filter and the modern style. I had him send both so I could assess them and make a decision. I sent the factory stuff back. I am sure it's just a commercial...

    Reproduction fuel tank installed. Very happy

    Thanks. Bought the aluminum specific primer at the local paint shop where I buy all my paint stuff (other than the epoxy primer I buy off the internet and have shipped). Prep was washing it to ensure it was spotless, then prepped it with comet and a 3M scotchbrite pad. This cleaned the...

    Reproduction fuel tank installed. Very happy

    I didn't enlargen them-I just left it as is. On mine, the bolts coming down through the top of the deck aren't fully "bottomed out" in the slots, but they're good enough. However, in terms of would it be ok to make the slots a little larger, hh yeah. The new tank is made out of much thicker...

    Reproduction fuel tank installed. Very happy

    Continued. Tank install: What do you guys figure my old tank is worth? I would imagine there's someone out there who has a mule but can't afford a $700 tank that would be willing to put some sweat equity into repairing an old tank to save some $$$. $100? Old tank:

    Reproduction fuel tank installed. Very happy

    I got my Mule from Maccus in 2008. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?21797-1800-miles-in-47-hrs-for-an-M274 When Maccus did the restoration, repro fuel tanks weren't available. And the tank, like pretty much all Mule fuel tanks, was dented. So Maccus made an outside cover to give...
