Eric's surplus in Cali has them in stock, or did last time I looked.

Probably the one on the steering column. That's where the mechanical contacts are.

We use a 4" PVC wye/tee with a 2" side input as a handle and a cap on the top. Tap in the middle of the cap and it seats evenly all the way around. YMMV.

FSS is Federal Supply Standard, anyone who wants to sell paint to the Federal Government must be able to mix to that standard. When the paint mixing machine changes from one supplier to another, guess what? Yep, the FSS codes are in the new machines, and they are the same!!! The specifics of...

Joe, I'll have the Baofeng hooked to a mag mount antenna sitting on the front hood of my deuce. Most of the civilian radios are not going to be 24v so you need to figure the power part in your equation. I'll be running on the HT battery coming in.

Before you get all 'fired up' (pun intended), better look into the Georgia Regulations on open fires. Anything larger than a small cooking fire has to have a permit, approved 30 days in advance. You want a bonfire, get your paperwork in first!

It means they sent it to DLA in Battle Creek, MI. Once it gets there, government employees handle it. If you have had recent EUC's go through, they have a file on you. If the file is recent enough (I think 90 days), they go ahead and approve your most recent EUC. When it's over their time...

May 23-24 will be another Lone Survivor Benefit out at Crystal Beach. I'll be flying in to help out with the cooking on the MKT's that weekend.

Get TM11-289 and find an 'elmer' that has dealt with tube radios. That should fix things up!

See if it will mix with water. If so, it's probably a commercial version of 'slime' tire lube. I remember when we had the 10K forklift tires changed they had a five gallon bucket of what I thought was heavy wheel bearing grease being used to get the tires on the rims and sealed up. YMMV.

That's really straying!

Matt, You need to find someone who can work on tube-type radios, probably on QRZ or other HAM venues. And, have the -10 through -50 manuals (they were not called that back then) on the radio to get it worked on. It could be as simple as a deteriorated capacitor or a bad tube. Just as a search...

Yes, save them! There are collectors looking for such items (not necessarily on these forums) and as those trucks become rarer, collecting the dataplates might be the only link to them, at least locally.

Where in NC? John (EMD567) is going the I-77 route more than likely and if someone could get it to him along the way, it might be possible.

Rules for Gamma Goats in the water: 1. Turn the bilge pumps on high just before entering the water. 2. Make sure everyone is WEARING a life jacket. 3. Attach a heavy tow cable to the back that will reach to shore. 4. Before attempting all of this get some 2 x 10's and fit them on the sides of...

Standard CARC green is known as '383'.

Germans were the first with the Jerry Can design from what I understand, then everyone else got in the act. Thus, your second can might not be British!

Very busy man!

I've got a 'direct from china' dashcam in my car that I can easily move to the deuce. Contemplating getting several more so each truck can have it's own.

Your paint is not dry yet. Probably should have done the coats about a week apart, instead of a day. Think about it - you put the first coat on and the surface dried but it's still wet inside, then you added another coat, which did the same thing, and again. So you have three or four coats of...
