Often I see questions about finding a 7 rib belt for your A3. Here is a good cross ref chart. If you cannot find the exact size at your location see if you can use one close to the size you want. In an emergency it might just work. Like the 7PK1640 is so darn close to the issue belt it will work...
Elfkin send me a PM. I have the parts needed to do a front end bob job. You would have to make a trip to the hills however as shipping is way to expensive I think.
I've been looking for a metal roof vent.... to go to all the trouble of adding a vent to these trucks and only finding cheapo flimsy plastic ones didn't seem right when one small hail storm would perforate them. Thanks for the link, did you find these to be quality?
Yes the vents are of...
When I put my NOS fiberglass hood on I had to do a little modification. If you place the hood on a flat surface, underside of the hood down, you will notice that the back of the hood is formed in a true 90 degree angle to the bottom of the hood. As we all know the hood does not sit flat on the...
Looking at your join date etc. Were it me I would find a SS member close to the GL site where truck is now. Try to find a person that has a CAT powered M35 or M109 as there are a few things different that one needs to look for. See if you can get this person to pick up the truck for you. And...
The first couple of trucks I put locks on I did pretty much what DHennon did. Then I took a door handle (for a spacing copy) to a very good and well stocked lock shop. And low and behold they had no less than 7 different styles and different spacing on the mounting holes. I found one that had a...
For a M35A2 ( 4 inch pipe) a regular tomato can works just perfect. For a M818 (5 inch pipe) one of the smaller coffee cans works well. Been using those two cans for years and have never had the wind blow one off of the pipe..
I use 40psi going into the guns regulator . That is using the gun I posted the web page for. On a solid color paint job I use to use 4 gal when using a regular gun. With the HVLP I can cut off more than one gallon. Last truck I did in a soild color I used just a little over 2.7 gallons (soft top...
Well here is how I usually do it, or have done it for the last few trucks I have painted. There are many classes of restoration in the MV hobby. I do what is called "Motor Pool Quality", Sort of like you would find in a well run military motor pool. Not like a brand new truck fresh from the...
BobM the area he was in is open range. And yes if you hit a critter you are responsible. Been that way since the start of the western migration. That also holds true for most federal land as it is leased out in the summer months to ranchers. They usually graze livestock from about May to...
Are you going to add a set of turn signals? If you do Dan give me a shout as I have the issue wiring harness needed to do it correctly. You would have to change the connectors from Packard to Douglas or I could do it before I send it to you. Also you have to add a pin to a connector or...
I followed the air diagram in the manual pretty much. . And in the cab for the air input for the trolly brake lever I put a connector on the cab air valve under the right side of the dash, That way I could shut off the air if I wanted to. Contact Boyce in Salt Lake he has the whole trolly setup...
Jim is right that spray gun looks bad. A clean spray gun is the sign of a clean mind (or something like that).I have been using this gun for the last 10 years or so. For the price it works very well. Cuts the paint required for a deuce down by at least a gallon or better. And no over spray...
Talk about timing. Check this out. Here is the M750 for your springs for the tractor. Jump on it. WM is easy.
