    That is a possibility. I'm going to check everything for condition. It been hard to do all of that this past week because of weather. But. I do like the challenge of keeping everything original. I would hate to sacrifice one goat to fix another. Especially when there are already so few around. I...

    Well, I ran into my first problem. I was taking apart the shift tower to clean it and hopefully get it to the sand blaster. It started off easy, but the farther along I got, the more stubborn it became. I am probably going to have to find a replacement or see if I can find a machine shop to...

    It did have a tank in the bed, I told them to take it out, I didn't want to have to haul a couple of hundred extra pounds down the highway. But the tank was not that big enough for it to be cut. It has an Illinois VFD sticker on it.

    Goat Project

    It was about a 5-1/2 hour drive from LA to OK to get the goat. It took 9 hours to get back, had to go slow. It was a task getting the thing off of the trailer. I couldnt get it into neutral. So I took the top plate off of the transmission, and with a little persuasion with a rubber mallet I...

    Mystery marking + how to uncover unit markings

    It is most likely the company truck and number, ie. Bravo Company truck 11. (B-CO 11) That's how we did our markings when I was in the military.

    Hello all. My name is Brad and I am from Keithville, LA. I just recently purchased my first GamaGoat. I have a lot of questions about it and came across this site. It seems like there are a bunch of knowledgeable people here.
