DR Update Well DR left here at about 19:30 hours, said he was going to try and get about three more hours of windshield time in before calling it a day. He lost the blue tarp on his way here. He also said he could not believe how many troopers he passed and that passed him on the way here so no...

I need the pump on the back of an m49 tank truck. Anybody know where I can find one?

Cdl I guess I shouldn't complain about Illinois and there laws so much. You can go down to the DMV take a test, drive around in a truck with a tester for about a half hour and your done. The whole thing is done in about an hour. Log books here also must be different. If you drive in the state...

I have to ask. Whats the big deal with getting a CDL? I have one anyway for other trucks I drive and I think the state of Illinois would require one on a deuce and a five ton anyway. It does not cost that much more to renew and if you only drive local routes it does not require a physical. They...

Thought I would show off my birthday cake. It's the first one she has ever made, with a little help from one of her friends.

salvage trucks I have 40 acres of property here. 4 machine sheds which one is 40' by 120' which is sitting half empty so some parts could be stored inside, but I was kind of looking at not keeping a truck more than a year. I have 4 major interstate highways within 35 - 40 minutes from my...

I am thinking about buying some of these trucks off of the Gov. auction sites that would normally go to these scrap dealers and bringing them home or making the scrap dealers pay more for them. I know there was some talk about the sf97 forms on another thread and trying to root out the little...

She is going to stay a tanker. As soon as I get this one done I am going for a wrecker like kenny's. My wants are to have one of every style and make. Like a tractor or dump or shop van and each one from a different maker like I have a studebaker a White and this one. Dreaming but I am going to...

Well here she is my next project. A 1958 M49C made by Curtis Wright. As soon as I get the new wheel studs in her and some tires mounted I am going to pull it out of this old shed and into my shop and start a major restore on her. This truck was used as a brush truck/water tanker by the national...

Wheel Studs Thanks for the heads up Kenneth I wil do that. I normally check my wheel studs several times even after I have a tire changed no matter what it's on. As far as getting new ones I checked with NAPA, Auto Zone, a truck dealer and A truck service center that changes tires and such and...

Well you guys were right, I put the big cheater bar on the nuts and turned them in the right direction this time and they spun right off. AMAZING! I then took a couple of nuts over to the bench grinder and put them on the wire wheel and shined them up and they have the words LEFT and RIGHT...

Wonderful!!! The studs that I broke happen to be on the left side of the truck. It didn't care which way I turned them, they refused to move, so I broke out the big tools we use on the dozers and such and concentrated on spinning them the wrong direction (which I just found out ). Hopefully the...

I started to work on my M49 today and the first thing I need to do is get the wheels off so I can Get the tires fixed or replaced so I can roll it around. After 4 hours of heating, pulling,oiling, jumping, impact wrenching, and cheater bars I managed to get my first tire off. Any body got any...

Deuce Don't forget White Motor Company

Blinkers On my truck the brake lights go through the turn signal switch. Each light has its own wire coming from the switch. 2 for the back, 2 for the front. So you might want to check the switch. Also I see several different switchs for sale, I don't know what the difference is. Maybe someone...

Thanks, this one is different than the one I was looking at.

Bleeder Well I built my pressure builder some what like yours. I used brake line instead of the clear line. Also I found a sprayer that had the discharge on the bottom of the tank so now i can just hook it to the top of the master cylinder, fill the tank and let the fluid flow down into the...

What is the web address for GSA? I tried to find it, but the one I found doesnt seem to ever have anything worth looking at. I don't think it is the same one you guys are looking at.

Tires I sent you a pm. Thanks.

R/C I want one! Where do you sign up? I have the plans to build the wood part of the truck, but where did you get the running gear? Just in case you don't put them into production.
