Thanks George. Will plan a trip soon... I need to bring my good camera out to the shop and snap some better pictures. The blurry ones just don't cut it.
Thanks guys! She's coming together quickly. I made a list & items are getting checked off rapidly.
George, I guess I should have organized a businees trip to CA this week! 5f & dropping.
Tonight, Joel showed up and we each wrenched on each side of the fire wall. Four hands are required on...
I re-read my thread here on SS and in remembering ARMYMAN30yearsplus (David), he had some very kind words on my project. See pages 7 & 8! RIP David.
Wrench turning proceeded the last 3 days/evenings with one or two more evenings ahead. No pictures today. The tub is set and engine...
Hi Bart,
Color will start as what it is, faded CARC. Once the truck is operational, then off to the paint booth for Green CARC. The brush guards can be had from $250 to $400 dollars with mounts, depends on if someone needs to sell one in hurry...
Today was get a deuce day so no wrench turning...
My truck was almost empty on fuel. I brought 5 gallons and some diesel power additive, so make sure you have some...The sooner people leave on Friday the better due to a snow event on the way.
You are welcome. Your truck has a full set of manuals & an extra on-off switch! Winch is spooled with wire rope! The toolbox is locked...not by me. Your truck should be a runner & if you leave prior to the next snow event, you should be fine. You are more than welcome to park at my place if...
Thanks for the comps. This one will get a gun ring install this spring! Shackles on most trucks are removed & placed inside cab. Bobh's truck looks good & should drive out of there. I got his serial number so he can get insurance.
Lane, I'm available all day tomorrow. I'll be at my office...
I picked up my M35A2C with drop side bed, electric wiper, heater, hard top and a new radiator! Checked all fluids, installed new batteries and vroooom she fired up. I also helped a friend extract his. Go figure, they were next to each other. The trucks ran great and I drove mine home...with...
Hi Mark,
The trucks that I have owned seemed to not have the data plates removed. I think this because of paint lines, rivets and looks. I have not heard the data plate box story. In fact all my trucks the serial number was not smeared but the registration number was hit with a grinder. I...
On the truck I got, the serial number is on the hood along with reg number. Then below them are the NSN and Wxxxxxxxxxxxxxx number. This W number is not anything like the serial number. example sn: 1111-11111
Mike, depends on my work load. When I started the project, I thought I would go slow with it...but not this slow! It would be a fun and fast trip to take it to Aberdeen. OR come see it at Clare MI this August!!!
That is really interesting Mark. Thanks for looking. On the units I have had or have looked at, they did not match. These came out of the GA auction and did not appear to be manipulated. So perhaps they were syncronized during 1987. I would still be cautious about using the a-pillar as the...
Chuck, you are more than welcome to stop by for a chat...I might even hand you a wrench!
I was slowed down on my progress by some linkage! I turn a few more wrenchs and found that I had the wrong tranny linkage on. This made the shifter linkage not connect properly. In the picture, the left...
You can have a fan cutout switch mounted near the ip with proper linkage attached to the drivers side of the ip. The turbo wire harness allows for a cutout switch, a tps and ip power.
See picture. Left circle is the bracket that hold the fan cutout switch and the right circle is bracket that...
