    Paint Question (Wrecker)

    I got 383 from my local Sherwin Williams store for the woodwork on my M813. I carried them a can of Carc and they matched it. They did not recomend their paint for the metal. They said it would fade fast in the outdoors. Automotive paint is the best but way expensive. I ordered Gillispe to...

    Looking at getting a Deuce, how much did you get yours for?

    RE: duece cost They have changed that somewhat. You get no SF 97 with the truck. When you get it home have any police officer complete a form T 22-B on the truck. Then you download an SF 97 request form from GL's site and send it in with the T 22-B and I think $65.00 and they will send it...

    5 ton Dump to tractor coversion?

    The duece has air hook ups at the rear just like civlian trucks. You would have to relocate them to behind the cab. Then I think it would supply straight air to the trailer when you apply the truck brakes. These gladhands are labeled service and emergency just like civy trucks. Maybe someone...

    5 ton Dump to tractor coversion?

    Severly wounded old soldiers

    RE: still more They have containers full of stuff that they have no clue what is in. He told me they had killed at least 500 Mutts and still have a container full of tires and wheels. They bought some tanks in Fl not to long ago but had to cut them up on site.

    5 ton winch part

    There are several winchs there. I am going to buy one that The GIs painted on unserviceable, but when I turn the input shaft the drum turns. I think they did not want to replace the pulley bearing in the level wind and scraped a good winch.

    Funny noise in 4th and 5th Gear

    If the petal has no free play then the release bearing is running all the time. The bearing could be vibrating at certain RPMs but i don't know why it does'nt do it in every gear. If the bearing is running all the time it won't ;ast long.
