    Which paint?

    I've used a brush and roller with good results. Learned the hard way when painting outdoors in the SC summer. Paint looks great when wet, but has a very chalky appearance when dry (I painted with the 383 Green, so chalky shows up much better).

    Height of cargo bows above bed in M35A2

    And you can order ones to almost any length from "Stefan Wood Products", but only in fiberglass. Tell them what length you want and that's what you will get.

    Which paint?

    Or you can use a brush or roller, as long as the object is not in direct sunlight at temps above 80 F. Otherwise the paint will try to dry too quickly. Early in the morning, if you can keep dew from forming on it overnight, is best allowing the sun to dry the paint. Give it about a week under...

    Which paint?

    There is a thread on using Behr house paint which is latex based, but dries to an acrylic finish. It is about $30 a gallon. Listen carefully to these instructions:1 Go to Home Depot paint department, 2. Ask the clerk to lookup a color in "Competitive Paints", 3. Have them select "FSS" (Federal...

    Sludge in bottom of filter normal?

    Primary catches things that are about 50 microns or bigger, plus the water, secondary catches things that are 10 microns or larger, but lets smaller stuff get through, the final filter at 6 microns catches stuff that is 6 microns or larger, and his fourth CAT filter catches anything bigger than...

    Fort Bragg, NC pickup needed. MKT-85 Kitchen Trailer

    Depending on how complete it is, it could weigh up to 5500 lbs. Go slow if you are pulling it without using it's brakes.

    Sludge in bottom of filter normal?

    Primary filter is mainly a water separator, along with gross particle filtration (large chunks). secondaries go down to the 10 micron level.

    2018 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally volunteers thread

    I haven't even started yet, been too busy with the repower on the RAM 2500. Don't even have the shop van home to start filling with supplies and canned goods.

    Finding the real age - trying to compare serial numbers with other M39s

    Looked like the 73 overhaul date said "GSA Maint Plant SG", that would be General Services Administration Maintenance Plant SG. Since it was in Europe, that might stand for "Southern Germany" or perhaps "Stuttgart" - just a guess.

    2018 Georgia military vehicle rally

    Wes, The group that has been coming with me are bailing because John Peck tore up his 'good knee' walking down the back door steps at his home. Doctors have told him it will be two months before he can bend the knee (leg is in a brace so he can't move it). He has trouble getting into a car...

    Might be moving

    Best seafood places are in Mount Pleasant, on Shem's Creek, IMHO. Most of the BBQ in the low country will be vinegar and pepper based, while the midlands will predominate with a mustard base. Only in the Piedmont (upstate) will you find tomato/ketchup based sauces in local BBQ eateries...

    Might be moving

    Rick, for Southern food, try Lizzards Thicket, it's a local chain. For BBQ locally Little Pig's on Alpine Rd, Hudson's on 378 between West Columbia and Lexington, and Shealy's in Batesburg-Leesville come to mind.

    Hurricane Florence

    Last projection I saw put Florence coming ashore on the NC-SC border, but the computer models showed it could come ashore anywhere between Cape Canaveral, Fl, and New Jersey, as a CAT 4 storm.

    M109 Interior Rip Out Opinions

    First thing is to get something like "Black Jack Ultra-Roof 1000" elastomeric coating on the top of the roof to stop the water from coming in. Three coats should do, and yes, it's white, but it will make inside much more comfortable in the summer. Daniel and Mahala Morgan did almost exactly...

    Some brake questions

    Complete units would be the way I would go, then get the rebuild kit and fix the old one as a spare.

    Curious if the m35a2 Hercules motor can be swapped to a car

    If you want to put a 1900 pound, 3.5 foot high motor in a car, go for it! Just post lots of pictures and a video of it's first drive.

    Move DUKW from Texas to Georgia

    Having driven most of that, your route is southeast about 45 minutes to Houston, then I-10 to Mobile, north on I-65 to Montgomery, then 85 to Atlanta. Deuce master cylinder will work on the DUKW. If you bring it to the GA Rally, Clinto will probably try to steal it (or sink it with drool)!
