P.S.: I have had one offer of assistance. Just thought I'd see who else might be able to help if he's unable to handle it.

(This was originally posted in the Deuce section. I should have posted it here!) Gents (and any Ladies present): I'm wondering if someone near Mechanicsburg, PA could help me out by picking up a trailer I just won today? It's a bit of a strain to take a day off already after starting a new...

Duh! Sorry, I thought I mentioned that little detail... M105A2, 1 1/2 ton. You know the one! :wink:

Gents (and any Ladies present): I'm wondering if someone near Mechanicsburg, PA could help me out by picking up a trailer I just won today? It's a bit of a strain to take a day off already after starting a new job (I just picked up my M109 three weeks ago!). If someone could go grab it and haul...

RE: I must admit I have a problem and may need a 12 step pro Mmmm..mmm..uust bbb.uuu..yyyyy MORE TRUCKS!! I came SO close to bidding on another truck myself today!! But I restrained myself and settled for an M105 trailer instead!!! And my wife still lets me sleep in the house!

I KNEW there was some reason I hadn't taken the kids' swingset down!! Now I have something to use it for!! Looks like I'll have plenty of work ahead of me. I will need to do some Bondo work in a couple of spots. The sheet metal on the sides of the M109 shop van have rusted clear through at some...

Yup, that's the beast!! And PRICEY!! Thanks!!

I've scoured all the surplus and parts sites I can find and just can't seem to locate the right beast. I'm looking for the plug (male) to fit the 2-prong recptacle on the shop van body to supply AC to the breaker box inside. Along the same lines, I'm looking for an affordable slave cable for...

I'm curious about your prep work. It appears that you either had a truck that was in great shape, or you did a whole lot of sanding, or the flat paint just hides all the blemishes. What did you do to begin the restoration work on the surfaces? I've got a pretty badly weathered M109A3 that I'm...

Heh heh. :) I guess GL will straighten it out, either way! Thanks, guys!

Just filling out the form to request the SF97 for my truck. Does the Registration number (in my case, NK00EE-72) go along with the VIN (0532-11135) to make a complete VIN, or is the VIN actually just the 9-digit number?

I don't know for sure (I'd have to check the TM) but that switch appears to be a standard, run-of-the-mill switch available from auto parts stores, Radio Shack and other electronic shops, even Lowe's or Home Depot. It's either an SPDT (single-pole, double-throw), or an SPST (single-pole...

FreightTrain, you really piqued my interest on your project!! I'd sure love to know what you've got up your sleevie (besides your armie!). I've always wanted to rig up a "smoke" device on a car. I'm sure the local law enforcement types would not approve, though. You can PM me, if you're more...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

I can't believe how hard it is to find a plain old shift knob!! Where would you all recommend I search (without driving around!) for a replacement knob for the "naked" shift lever in my M109A3?? Thanks!

RE: More pics Yep, he's already hoping to learn to drive it. He's got a learner's permit now, anyway. I told him this would be a good vehicle for him to learn to drive a stick with! Oh yeah! Double-clutching! I forgot about that! I was wondering why I had to fight it get it from 1st to 2nd...

RE: More pics I have five of the six blackout panels for the van. I removed them before I drove it home yesterday. One of them needs the bottom lip replaced. The bumper step is pretty worn, but it sure helps getting up on the truck!! I've seen those for sale somewhere recently. I might pick up...

More pics And yet more
