THANK YOU! I know what a M35, um something, is. I posted it because of the name "Dusenhoff" but I was beginning to think that no one saw that! :idea: I figure the guy's wife must have posted it and she wrote what she THOUGHT she heard him call it.

WTF? Found this in the Spacecoast Fla Craigslist: Dusenhoff Military - $9500 - (Cocoa) <http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/cto/1655604829.html> if you're interested in a "Dusenhoff"

Coating with aluminium foil might work better. (Check first, it may react with the stripper!) Foil will seal the surface completely and won't absorb any of the stripper. Heating the surface before applying the stripper may make it work better too. I use a similar technique to get labels off...

I vote to keep the pipe! It looks SO redneck! :driver: I used to keep a pair of vice grips on my off-road motorcycle. I clamped them on and wrapped the handles with safety wire to keep them from releasing (and a good place to keep the SW!) I crunched the shifter one time and broke the shaft...

I e-mailed the owner and asked what model it is and here's his reply: "should be a am general XM 816 WW". He also sent me a copy of an on-line FAQ and it says that it does have a "Cummings model NHC-250 6 cyl. diesel engine". I don't know if he's checked the engine in his truck though. He...

I would take it to one of the places that specializes in repair of MVs if possible. It might cost an arm and leg but that's HIS and his Insurance companies problem! If not there then a place that specializes in repairing large trucks. I'm sure they know how to fix it right and they have the...

Great! Thanks guys!

Hello, I'm interested in buying a Deuce and I've been out looking at several but these are new to me and I have a couple of questions about them. (1) Several have had two rifle rack in front of the seat and to the right of the shifter as shown in the TM but one that I looked at has a...

DING! I'll bet you're right. The M38s were the same way. I'd forgotten about that. Bought a '51 M37, picking it up in a week or two. Found three more to go look at, 2 unrestored '52s and another '51 ("restored"). :-)

They were 640x480. It had nothing to do with the size, the SS server timed out. I'll TRY to attach them to this message. Nope. It's NOT working! I tried both "paper clipping" them to the message and using the "manage attachment" functions and it times out on both of them. The SS picture...

It's probably too late for you now but the OLD Mercedes Benz owner's manuals suggested that for long term storage you jack up their vehicles and support them by the frame to relieve pressure on the tires and springs. They also suggested that you give the vehicle a heavy coat of automotive paste...

PS I think he said this had a Cummings 250(?) engine. He did say that it was so fast that it would scare you.

I just got off the phone with a guy located In Zephyrhills, Fla that has a 5 ton truck for sale. I don't know the model but he said it was a tank recovery vehicle and I believe he said it was built in 1972. I don't know the guy personally and I haven't seen the truck but it looks impressive from...

An old machinist trick is to heavily coat the tap with grease and then it should pick up most of the chips. I heartily dislike the idea of running ANYTHING solid thru a turbo! But thanks for all the tips and pictures, I'm keeping my fingers crossed to get a Deuce soon and this is the first...

AFIK the only time that you have to send anything to Tallahassee is when you want "Authernticated License Plates". Those are old original license plates that MUST have the year stamped on them and the must be the same as the year that your vehicle was made. The plate must be in good condition...

Umm, FWIW I was taught that you shouldn't use brass in a gasoline fuel systems since it causes gas to "sour". Haven't verified it myself but my old man was pretty smart about stuff like that. I know that some carbs use a few small brass parts but from what I've seen they're only used where...

You haven't seen the '51 M37 that I just bought. TOTAL RUST BUCKET :-( But got a deal on it w/ two VG engines, bunch of spare parts and a nice trailor.

Never saw any further details published on SS. Is that the Downshifters of Brooklyn annual car show at Bay Pines VA on Sunday, March 28, 2010? <http://www.baypines.va.gov/news/events.asp>

Per USAF Basic Electronics School, Kessler AFB, Ms; You're supposed to use a little spring loaded clip to clamp the wire next to the insulation. It stops the solder from wicking up inside the insulation and making the wire subject to breaking. The clip looks about like an alligator clip but the...
