Does anyone know the paint code for the blue paint the Air Force uses on their planes to camouflage them with the sky? I'm putting up a very large beam antenna for my ham radio(Steppir 4el) and I want to paint it a color that will help make it a little less noticeable to the neighbors.

Finished up fabricating the plates to repair the rusty floor in my truck. Had to cut, grind, drill and bend them. Painted the back side with cold galvanizing paint. Going to use seam sealer tomorrow morning to glue them down. Then going to duraglass the floor to smooth things out. Then it'll...

From the TM, there are two different mounts. The ones pictured are : NSN: 5342-01-319-5383 P/N: K500-63 QTY: 4 The other mounts, under the sides of the cab are: NSN 5342-00-040-2073 P/N: 7521436 QTY: 2

Just went and opened up the step and checked the valve. It's not leaking. Where the heck is this air coming from?!?! The secondary tank drains much quicker than the primary if that helps anyone who might have any sort of clue about where the leak might be.

Ok so I determined the three intake connections are: 1. air brakes 2. ctis 3. vents from fuel tank/transmission etc. So I think we can eliminate #3 as the truck doesn't have a fording kit. CTIS is disconnected from the wheels, but the supply side is still "on" in the truck(not the computer...

I went and checked each brake chambers vent- no leaks, that I can tell. I disconnected each vent line, listened and felt for any air/pressure and felt none. There are 3 connections on the bottom of the intake stack. One is vents for the fuel tank, and 2 other lines...no air from that line...

That doesn't even make sense. A vent line on the transmission will have nothing to do with transfer case operation... The transfer case has its own shift lever. The transfer case has an air interlock that keeps it from shifting from high to low without the transmission being in neutral, or by...

I've been too busy working to do anything with the truck this week, but I have been thinking. I have a constant small flow of air into the intake stack. As previously stated, most have thought it was a brake diaphragm, but the more I thought about it, the less that makes sense. This flow is...

Congrats! I got my license 14 years ago. Upgraded 4 years ago to general. I need to get the book for extra...study it, and upgrade. I'm actually working on a mount for radios for my truck. I have most of the parts for a M939 radio mount, but I want to change some stuff up, I'm putting...

I must have missed a whole section?...30 trucks? The area towards I95 cordoned off with caution tape and cones(that I think was the "display" area since they weren't selling anything) had maybe 10 trucks in it when I was there on Friday noon-afternoon. In fact, I can tell you exactly what...

My truck had a barcoded sticker on the passenger door(UNDER the green paint, the truck used to be desert tan), that said Camp Arifjan, Kuwait to Ft Dix NJ, and had the shipping weight on it. It also has a couple bullet holes in the passenger side step, and judging by the amount of shell...

My friend who has had his CDL for years, drives a propane delivery truck said he has never heard any honking/goose getting strangled sound from any truck he has ever driven before. He told me something must be wrong with my truck(but I knew it was normal from reading on here). And neither have...

I tried getting the seller to cooperate, but all he was willing to do was have me return it, and refund my money(minus shipping). So I just figured what the heck, I'll thread it myself and get this done today :lol: And yes, checking the brake diaphragms are next. Going to pull off the vent...

I agree. This was my first year going, and to be honest...I wasn't very impressed. Lots of open spaces. Didn't like getting haggled to donate money to restorations either. I have my own restoration going on, and you don't see me out there panhandling at the show. Had I known what it was...

Not to threadjack, but since we're on this topic...Are they supposed to honk when you engage the parking brake, or when you release it? Artisan said in the post above that his honks when he releases it, mine honks when I engage it.

Well I got the drivers side plate fitted, holes drilled in it, rusty metal primed underneath it, and started welding it in. I was using the method that others on here have suggested for sheet metal(series of tack welds). Well, I'm about 300 tack welds in, and I'm only about 1/2 way done(46" x...

OK...REALLY need some help with this. What is this valve? It's not the LQ-2 valve the truck is supposed to have. I'm really stuck here with how to proceed. Any input? I've looked through TM's, P2P software, ABS MWO's, and not one has any information about this valve. I tried finding the...

Got the passenger seat, batteries, and battery box out today to inspect/repair/paint the floor under it. Not too bad rust wise. Scraped it, and vacuumed it out. I measured and went up to the metal place. I got 1/8" steel(easier to weld) plates. Got a few to cover up where the metal was...

Anyone? How would you guys proceed with doing the LQ-2 retrofit? I also reviewed the ABS TM's here on the site and it appears a lot of the necessary hose connections/changes at the primary/secondary tanks weren't done as well. The more I look into this, the more I'm getting confused and lost...

Now that I'm looking at it, this LQ-2 valve I got doesn't have the bottom port threaded. Top port is supply, front port is control, and the two side ports are service. It looks like the exhaust port isn't threaded. It appears there are 7 different models of the LQ-2 valve, 3 of which have...
