    Gas tank pick up tube and vent?

    Best thing is to leave that in-tank filter screen off and install a really nice in-line unit outside the tank... If you really want to replace the in-tank filter, contact ABLinn or Sid Beck or George M. or Fred Potter (ABLinn, ACE Surplus, Vermont Comm. Salvage, and Adirondack Dodge Parts...

    Another Journey Complete

    We frequently use two cranes to set bridge girders on projects (more often than we can use a single crane). Each crane hooks up to one end and we do a dance with them until the things are in place.... Get a second wrecker and we can demo at a show... Good luck!

    Composite stoplight - taillight bulbs

    I have a page on my website with the 12 and 24 volt numbers including a description of what bulb they are (so you don't have to pull the cover and bulb on an existing light to find the number for xref...) Look at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/12voltconversion.htm Good luck.

    East Coast Convoy to Aberdeen (MD) Rally

    Graham, In past years, I could hoook you up with a few folks heading up from Columbia, SC, but they are all skipping this year, or driving up for just the weekend in civilian vehicles (work schedules are killing a lot of folk's travel plans it seems...). Had a few folks in Western NC who could...

    31st Annual MVPA Convention In Dayton, Ohio June 22 – 24

    Kenny, You'll notice that I didn't list the towbar as an item available for purchase at Aberdeen... It has your name on it... It's not going anywhere, nor is it in the way (I've got it tucked under the '52 M38 project truck that isn't moving anytime soon either...). Whenever we can figure...

    Emergency brake problems

    I paid something like five dollars for a platic box with an assortment of "E" clips at my local Agri-Supply. At least ten of them in the box are the correct size for the bigger clips on the p-brake asembly (the ones that hold the shoes themselves in place on the big pins) and there were a...
