    VIN Info-'You may fire when ready, Gridley.'

    I forgot to mention, there is NO vin on the frame in the usual places. The only date I can find is the 7-88 on the refurb tag.

    .50 cal paint

    Titling a truck in Colorado?

    You don't need a SF97 or title to remove it from G/Ls storage lot, just your paid invoice. Since you live on post and do not plan to drive it public roads right away, the only issue would be with the post. I'd talk to the MPs...although since the lot isn't far from the housing area I doubt...

    M38 using a M151 engine

    Jerry Mambretti, a member of the MVCC had a M38 with a M151 engine in it. I never did look too close at it to see if it had the 151 transfer case/tranny as well or what. He purchased it that way, and was converting it back to the M38 engine.

    Anyone know about Wyoming or Colorado??

    Pueblo Auto Parts was torn down in '00 or '01. Sad to see that place go. If you go see Gene tell him hello and Merry Christmas. Nah, I'll call him.

    M1008 700R4 swap question

    The donor truck was a '91 1 ton, so the dash wasn't the same. Didn't realize until today that our body style was ever offered with OD, but was fortunate enough to find one in a buddies wrecking yard. So now I'm complete, ready to swap over...now I just need time.

    CUCV SAFETY?

    1009s hold up pretty well to getting t-boned at 70mph on the driver side. Guess how I learned that one:-x I also learned Colorado State Troopers are morons, thankfully I had 4 witnesses that saw the broad run into me.:roll:

    What do you want changed about GL?

    What do you want changed about GL? 1-get rid of the $150 minimum on certain items. Some of them aren't worth half that. 2-whatever it takes, don't let Tim leave Sierra Depot!!! Better yet, clone Tim. If everyone working for GL were like that man, you'd have one awesome organization!!!!!

    Titling / Registration of Trailer In Colorado

    Piece of cake, did it many dozen times when I lived in CO. Simply went into the DMV office (Widefield office where Alco used to be many decades ago). Filled out a statement of facts that the trailers had been brought back to life and re-assembled from parts obtained through surplus. They gave me...

    Air to Hydraulic Brakes

    Disconnect the hose from the air cleaner, stick your hand over it, let me know what happens. There WILL be vacuum on the intake side of the turbo.

    Air to Hydraulic Brakes

    diesels don't make much vacuum. Why get rid of the airpack? When properly maintained, they aren't much trouble at all.
