    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Installed the head, not too bad of a job and adjusted the valves and injector timing. All were off about the same amount. Was installing the rack arm tube and plinko, I dropped a 7/16 lock washer down inside the right rear opening in the head. Manual said to cover these with a rag so not to...

    UGC-74 teletype

    I had one working in my AN/GRC-142 shelter. It will use either stand alone voltage, I ran mine on 115v AC. You will also need a cable to the modem and radio. New ink ribbons can be tough to find, mine was a UGC74"B" model.

    I have joined the Goat herd

    Good luck Tom, standing by. I don't see anything in the manual about them being a one time use, it does suggest lubing the threads and under the head of the bolt.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    I have the head hanging from the chain fall over the block ready to install, going to triple check all the gaskets, this will allow me to lower it in place easy. Installed the rest of the brake assemblies on the hubs, just need to order a new master cylinder now. Found all the parts to a full...

    Suggestions for intra cab comms?

    Aviation is the only way to go, very comfortable headsets, David Clark are nice.

    What sandblaster should i buy? need opinions...

    I think it's around $100 day here for a tow behind, or what I do is rent it for the weekend at a discounted rate.

    What sandblaster should i buy? need opinions...

    I have done a lot of this type of work and you are money ahead if you take it to where they blast large items. It takes a lot of air to blast, if you do get a blaster rent a tow behind compressor. The hobby blasters and home air compressors will take a very long time.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Spent a good part of the day installing the two front brake hoses. Started on the passenger side, that was not too bad. The stacked clips that hold the steel lines were both rusted off, those were a bit tricky. Now to the drivers side, I didn't know the lines were in back of the arm jammed in...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    I bought some 8' 1 1/2 assembled straps I found NOS on the E and I am going to cut them to length for the battery cover and fuel can. I only had one battery cover and it was shot, at $8 each they were a bargain.

    Polishing gauge faces

    I use Flitz polish, works great at restoring glass or metal gages.

    Question on 43 MB tailgate area

    Yes, there should be holes for the tail lights, and not all had a socket for the trailer, don't recall when they added it. Picture of what should be in the back.
