    Preamble to yet another WC brought back to life

    The surprise is nothing BIG - nor elaborate - and my son made it for PB along with his coheart in crime as they purchased a machine to do this kind of stuff - I just call them both Go Getter Americans. They both make chit for pay - they both have full time jobs and both had their wives leave...

    M38a1 correct placement of BO light

    Check out post 532 - I think you can see it clearly enought - it has to be out far enough so the hood does not swipe it. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?59490-Project-Time-Once-Again/page54

    Last night GL win and another project

    I appreciate it. 1/2 of my background was building Glider kits from the ground up into working trucks - dumps - tankers - flatbeds - State snow plow trucks including the fabrication. Tucked away is my Master Fabricator background to build these. Including stretching and shortening frames and...

    Truck mounted shelter grounding questions

    The purpose of using a ground rod on a service is for lightning protection not to handle fault current, the ground wire is bonded to the neutral at the point of service so fault current has a good solid low resistance path back to the point of generation. The ground rod will provide a path but...

    Taking tomorrow off work - just gotta get out of here for a day. Headed down to CAMO with the tape measure in hand and camera - PB mentioned taking the dropside off and set it aside for Wreckerman - should save him some time as well during his expedition. Will post up the overall truck pictures...

    Preamble to yet another WC brought back to life

    The surprise for PB's WC came late last night and I was too lazy to walk back down the hill and open the garage - so tonight I will shoot a couple pics of a "simple" teaser for him with them on - just to get him excited finally. Gotta do something while I wait for that upholstery.

    Preamble to yet another WC brought back to life

    Anytime young lady. I keep telling PB I rate how long it takes in BEER - so there are no pics of the WC which we just found out about an hour ago the upholstery is done and ready to ship from New Life Canvas TODAY - whoooo hoooooo - no more sitting on a 5 gallon bucket. SO pics are better than...

    how to remove rear drum?

    I was gonna vote for bigger hammer - I have 25 pound sledge hammers for sale for instances just like this. When you don't know how it comes apart - beat the tar out of it.

    Spray-on bedliner used to paint a MV?

    I could see the rockcrawlers using it as they abuse the chit out of them trucks having fun of course. I have used the bedliner in high abuse area's @105 bed @front bumper on the 109 @wheel wells @inside of flap hangers. Doubt I would consider using it on a MV that was mainly on road instead of...

    Preamble to yet another WC brought back to life

    I am getting two more seals today and using CR seals this time. The shaft cannot be speedi sleeved because the shaft is not a rotaional shaft - it engages and disengages the PTO itself. Meaning when you shift in the PTO this shaft has to slide into another housing - and the speedi sleeve has a...

Painted the chrome bolts in the bed - tore apart the pto winch shaft and changed out the yoke end that was the wrong size - had to soak the replacement yoke overnight in Evaporust because it was so nasty. Tore down...

    Preamble to yet another WC brought back to life

    GE not really - they are just off a 1942 WC 22 weapons carrier - I am sure the very next auto parts place I go to has a whole box of them just waiting for me to buy them. I sure am not putting the owner of the WC through having to pay OUTRAGEOUS price for ones from a vendor I know of - they can...
