Hey man, Congrats on the voyage. I just got back with mine earlier this month. It was a balmy 27 degrees when I picked it up. I have a heater and thought I had it on for the first 2 hrs. Turns out I didn't have the cable pulled to open the door to the heater box. But it wasn't that bad. In...

Thanks for the tips. Does anybody have any experience matching the colors to existing spray cans/store brands?

Anybody got a line on where to get CARC paint from that is not expired? Also, I thought I saw a thread a while back where there was some comparrison on using Rustoleum or Krylon colors that where pretty close but I can't find it by searching. Anybody else remember it?

Thanks boys. The wife is great! The truck is a non-turbo engine... for now. Maybe a good project for later. I thought my EUC would never go thru either. Won the truck on my B-day in Oct. (wifey placed winning bid) took till second week in Jan. for EUC to go thru.

Well, so far this unit has had the front bumper and wheels restored to "front line ready" (used car talk) status along with the unit markings on the bumpers. I hope to get the body going shortly. It draws a crowd everywhere you go. Last night, the little woman and I cruised to Red Lobster in it...

Ok, here are some pics. Thanks for the help with the resize. As a added bonus, Mrs. Manstein loves to drive the Moose too. She drove on several longer breaks.

Well, it finally all came together and the Moose and a 1/2 is home! We drove thru the night and got there early on thursday to pick it up. The junk started right up and after airing up tires, checking the oil and all the good stuff. We drove back from Bragg to Atl. in about 12 hrs. The only...

Seeing how this trucks don't have a keyed switch, how are you securing them from keeping others from stealing them?

My auction ended on 10/24/06 I sent the EUC and had to make a correction. Tiffany is the one who has helped me and told me that it probably take about at least 30 days. I've talked to her a couple of times and she has been very helpful. I learned a valuable lesson several years ago when I was...

You know, this is just another reason why everybody ought to have a M35 laying around the house. You just never know what kind of roadside assistance case may pop up and catch you off gaurd and they always happen without any prior warning. Great job.

Anybody had any luck with 465 engine assemblies on GL? I noticed a couple and they appear to either be cores from a engine swap or refurbished units?? :?: Also, any preferrence on engine builder, i.e. White, Hercules etc...?

TM = Technical Manual or Repair Manual or if you're real artsy... Policy and Procedure Manual. There are no dumb questions. It's the people that refuse help and end up with a monument to their stupidity rather than slowing down and asking a question that bother me.

Hey brother, they are great for that. Recently, my wife and I were up at The Cove in Asheville, North Carolina (Billy Graham's place) They run a pretty big youth camp on the back side of the property and we drove over to check it out. As we were motoring along minding our own business, I kept...

Can't you hear the argument... "you pick it up. No, you pick it up. I'm not touching it. Come on, the ambulance is waiting. Ok, I'll kick it to the curb and you kick it in the bag. I'm not getting my new shoes dirty.

Nice job! Thanks for sharing the pics. It's been good to see how you guys document your projects. I'm going to have to do the same. Even if it's for my own enjoyment in front of the fire when the power is out.

Boat Carpenter, did your's come mounted in the cab or did you perform that conversion. Why don't they mount them all there? Was it an "add-on" option that was installed after manufacture?

I wonder what the cops were thinking when they roped off the crime scene and outlined the "member" with chalk? :shock:

Congrats, I bought one back at the end of October and am still waiting on the EUC to process. I hope your's goes through quicker. The waiting is killing me.

The current highest API rating for diesel oils is "SL." When most of these engine were manufactured it was probably like a "SC" rating. The big consideration is the additives that the oil companies put in the oil. We sell Royal Purple and Delvac. Royal Purple has a great additive package that...

Well, for this newbie... if it doesn't have airshift, what does it have and how does it work?
