Took it for a spin in to San Antonio for the local SS group meeting. We had a nice showing and some good conversation. Next week it's off east of Austin for a 3 day camp out. Hopefully it'll be a bit warmer and drier than today. And no we didn't eat at Hooter's but the Bill Miller BBQ...

Glad to see he found a shipper. Its always tough seeing one leaving the nest but encouraging when you know its going to someone with like minded interests.

I come close on the 46" MV/Ts. I've tried peddling faster but it didn't seem to help.

Ouch! My wallet hurts just thinking about that.

We actually fabbed a new patch panel out of flat sheet for mine. Page 7 shows Keith_J doing his metal magic: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?72872-Working-on-the-M37/page7

Some auto glass companies can do this for you. If you can snag the scratch with a fingernail it's likely too deep to polish out but light ones can be.

I haven't seen one like that with the bushing in the middle. Is the pin 1"? Or is that a 3/4" with the bushing making it bigger?

Long way up to be hefting those rounds. Just be glad it was red fir and not oak :)

I rekeyed the doors. I figure if anyone is motivated enough to bust the window to get in, then know how to start the truck (power switch, then push button), then they probably know how to get around a key since the dash comes out so easily. My peace of mind is knowing I have enough insurance...

Just confirming Saturday 1100 at Bill Miller 281/Bitters. Looks like rain is possible but my truck will be wet whether it's in the drive way or in the Target parking lot so I'm still in.

That's' it.

Not much to do at the moment. Once the weather warms up a bit I need to paint the shiny aluminum tailgate to match the truck but temps are fluctuating too much at the moment to get that done. I did finally replace the gladhand seals this morning. If you're planning to do this make sure to...

Ok that is way too cool. With it being 4x4 I'm guessing I could get one in the back of the M1078 even with short ramps. Always nice to have a spare vehicle for parts runs if you're stuck on the side of the road.

When I was there in May Mike said they were pulling the gear sets and scrapping the axles. Best bet would be for someone to give them a call and see if any are left.

They did when I was there last May.

Finally posted today: KG5RKO Think I'll keep that one even if I were to pass the Extra test. I like having RKO in a radio call sign :)

I guess just that you were able to get it registered is "good." However, there's always a "however," in TX with a Former Military Vehicle registration it's $60 for 5 years :) Of course there are limitations with that but none that I've run in to yet. I drive my truck when and where I want but...

That's one of the added "customization" features that makes him think it's worth $60k

Have you pulled one of the drive shafts on these? Much easier to pull the axle shafts and no fear of your tied up drive line jostling loose and bouncing down the highway.

Things appear to be working as they should. It took a nice, long drive to get it up to temp (currently 66° here) but once it was there the fan kicked on and off where it should. At least this little exercise brought out some tricks to use if you're in the middle of no where and the fan isn't...
