Does anyone remember who it was that had nice (NOS perhaps?) rear panels for the hard tops? They did not have the tops, just the rear panel with the sliding window. I have a pair or hard tops that have rust issues in the flanges where the rear panel bolts to the cab (tub) and to the top...

I can't make the rally (got to work every weekend this month...:evil:), but I am sending down some of the 1/2" tie down chains that I have that have been in the classifieds. Brand new, 9' long, grab hook on one end, 25,000lb WLL. Neil will have them (Brandon picked them up from me yesterday...

I'll second that!! Especially since he came to my place right after he finished unloading your project, drove to the coast (another three hour drive each way) so that we could drop off a genset and look at a M816 that I am purchasing (oh, and he moved a halftrack while he as at it as well)...

Since Tanner mentioned it.. I do have a runner in the back yard that is for sale, but that needs work... (wiring, brakes, lights...) I have a friend just outside Charlotte, NC, who is selling his nicely restored (everything works) '52M37... PM me if you want contact info, photos, prices, etc...

Karl, If Brandon does have a good one, I can haul it up for you... If he can't bring it down to my place before I head up to VA, I've got a coworker who will be driving by his place next week who could snag it and haul it back to me, for delivery up the following week...

I will be at Berg tire early next week picking up a bunch of rubber. Alan mentioned to me a couple days ago that he has a large selection of 900x20 tires (new) that he is selling in lots of ten (can't remember the price as I actually am way more interested in radials for my five tons these...

Since the rest of the guys have covered the question about turning up the pump on the NHC250... The pump stand is the calibrated device that a competent shop attaches the injection pump to when making adjustments. The stand allows them to monitor flow/pressure using a test fluid (oil) at a...

I just go to my local (insert store name here) low cost auto parts store and tell them that I have a '78 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton 4x4 w/350 auto... Walk out with loaded calipers and away I go. Works just great with Ray's setup. I've done about ten trucks using the setup (mine have four...

Last one of these that I did, I used a six point socket out of my 3/4" set (from Agri-Supply) and spun it with my 1/2" air wrench... Really easy to take off and resnug back on. Been using the newer seals and redi-sleaving all the NP200's when I get a truck into the yard on general principle...

If you do a search, you'll find multiple threads on GL-5, GL-5/MT-1, and GL-1 oils... Spicer actually recomends 50wt for the transmission. Your TM says 90wt for diffs, transmission, transfer, winch as it works in all and allows for single sourcing. GL-1 meets the specifications for the...

Other things to do to help reduce front tire wear are to crank up the air pressure and loose the winch... :) Lower inflation on the front increased wear a significant amount, the extra weight does but not enough to compensate (denpending on how much you use it and how big a save it was)...

To add on to what I posted earlier: Title Application (MVR-1) http://www.ncdot.org/dmv/forms/vehicleregistration/download/mvr1.pdf Affidavit of Facts to Accompany Indemnity Bond (MVR-92H) http://www.ncdot.org/dmv/forms/vehicleregistration/download/MVR92H.pdf Eligible Risk Statement for...

Yep.... :) The regulations governing use of the Transporter Plate got amended back when the ATHS had thier annual convention in Greensboro (world headquarters for Volvo Trucks) since a large contingent in the trucking industry wanted to drive thier old trucks to the show... Paragraph 8 was...

To title a vehicle in NC: You need to fill out a MVR-1 (Title Application), a MVR-651 (Declaration of Eligible Risk, aka insurance form), a MVR-181 (Damage Disclosure Statement). You will need to provide either a Title from the previous owner reassigning the vehicle to you (requires...

If any of the above do not work out...I'll be at Bragg both this Thursday and next picking up trailers for folks...

This may or may not help you... But, if Berg Tire in Fayetteville, NC, has them, I can pick them up for you and get them as far north as Syria, VA, on either the second or third full weekend in October (I have to be at the familly farm anyway for their annual harvest festivals). It doesn't...

I always use 5mpg when figuring fuel stops in both my XM813 and my M817... Seems about right for both although I admit to not having run the exact numbers recently. I rarely go down the road empty (unless it is the return trip to the quarry...). I always got right around 10mpg in the...

Yep, I know this sounds backwards to a lot of folks, but... Got a buddy who scored on a HMMWV with a blown 6.5. He then scored on a few 6.2 engines (rebuilt, HMMWV, with all the accessories on them in the can). So, we need to stick an engine into his ride. He remembers having this done...

Oh Crud... Now I have to go and paint "don't run".... :( I got the XM813 at the same time Brandon got this M54A1 and the paint for both came on the same pallet... It looks really good Brandon... :)
