Just an update on the fuel tank. We have a new cradle. For the most part of last week, it rained here like a cow pizzin on a flat rock. Thursday was the worst. All day long. 5.5 inches. The Tuesday prior, no rain, just overcast and a bit of a breeze. The few days prior, weather was good enough...

Also, the OE10mthatt the TM calls for for the crane hydraulics can be replaces with AW43 and it can be mixed. I am gonna assume that the hydraulic tank on your rig is mounted in the same place as the one on the M62. The one on the M62 is a separate part, not attached to the wrecker body, frame...

I see it looks like you have the Zenith Carb. Much better than the Holley! If you come across the TM number for the crane, post the number, it might be in the library at the Museum. If it is, I can send it off to the printer for PDF conversion. Will that little fuel pump keep up with the...

Howdy back at ya!

Tuscan Yellow is a bit darker that the Sunburst. Is the yellow bright? If so, federal Safety Yellow then a matte clear over it.

I believe that at .17 in this clip is one shot of the M5

We have a replica HaGo that started life as an M5 HST that was incomplete, no power plant. I think it was Windtalkers, the production co rented it and shipped it off to either NZ or Aus. and repowered it with a SB GM engine and built an all steel HaGo tank body for the HST chassis. It looks...

Yes, it does. Most of the time we don't see the tops, usually when the items are brought to the shop for the normal maintenance that is required by the Army/Navy for the items on loan, we see things. They are repaired at that time. For the stuff owned by the Museum, things get checket a bit more...

Who knows. I think this was one of not too many made, the paperwork, which is one of the two I linked, had no mention of F-4. SF was known for these types of things, wing tanks, drop tanks, etc. They could have modeled it after something they had already made. I can snap some pic of the fake...

The item that we will be attacking is not really the thing in the following images. It is just the stand or shipping skid FOR the item. I will be playing carpenter for this project. Hope the splinters are kept at i minimum! I need to make a new crate, shipping device, display stand for a...

OK all, a little bit more forward progress on the M62. This thing is in the short rolls, I can see the end in sight! Today it was 44 degrees when I got to the compound. Sat around just a bit to get the coveralls warmed up and make it more comfortable to work. Checked the oil, coolant and gas...

I was gonna suggest LMC, but others have. https://www.lmctruck.com/headlight I had an '85 1 ton, single rectangle headlights, Dorman and the likes, no fit. LMC was the only ones I found that worked. I kinda miss that truck. 454 that put 440 to the rear wheels. Would pull 10k up Cajon pass at...

We used that? I thought we just used a come along? But I have CRS.

The tree that pulled the light pole down across the Denali, The tree at my Daughters complex, one of them.

Yes my friend, I was spreading lies and rumors about you! Glad things have calmed down for you. My girls live in a complex at the 210 and Los Robles. They are still under evac orders just because of the smoke and ash. Shelby sent a pic of the complex pool, it is black. The inside of their...

On another note, I do have some pics to put up here of some more forward progress, but things have been a bit hectic what with the desert trip with the fam and the weather.

No, thankfully, we are good except for alot of bad smoke and ash. I was there today to load out a piece that needed to leave, and I gotta say, I live 18-20 miles NE of the compound, and the smoke was horrible. There is at least one member here that was within 2 blocks of the main part of the...

Pump rebuild kits are still available. I use a place in Weymouth Ma. Then and now automotive. Call them with the numbers off of the pump and they will fix you up. https://www.then-now-auto.com/ And, if it still has the Holley on it, if you can, find a Zenith for it, the engine runs much better...

Just in case you still do, here they are. This truck is a Marine Corps ambulance. It is painted MERDC but you can still see the crosses underneath the camo. There is no word ambulance stenciled anywhere on it and the only other markings are the USMC unit on the front bumper and registration...

Do you still need measurements? I am at the Museum now and we have a couple of those laying around.
