Sweet! That looks pretty sharp!

I like the way your paint job turned out Jon, sorry you're having some remorse! Based on unoxidated original paint areas on my 66' I'm convinced Gillespie 24087 shot on a red primer and thinned with xylene is an accurate paint color for the truck and that era. I've also read some statements...

Congratulations! Fishing Vessels have either killed or bankrupted the men in my family. The worst was when my Uncle's boat dredged up a WWII German torpedo and exploded in 1965. The incident made it way into the Navy's munitions guide for Commercial Fishermen: Munitions at Sea Eight were...

With or without a heater, there's defrost vents under the dash to connect duct work for directing air against the front windows.

My experience is coating rust will only get you so far. Attached are pictures of the rear crossmember to my 93' GMC Yukon. (Picture was taken in the 109 and I did the repair before picking up my M105 so it's slightly MV related.) The bottom crossmember is original and was coated with POR-15...

I've had problems using Duplicolor Autopaint and RRMP from a spray can without letting it thoroughly dry out between priming and topcoating. My understanding is the problem may have more to do with the propellents in the spray can then the primer. So far my experience reducing it with mineral...

Thanks, I wasn't sure if I'd like it at first but it matches the interior of the cab and the frame and it's really growing on me now that I see it in person. My wife likes it too which is a bonus. FYI, the recipe I'm using is: Rustoleum rusty metal (red) primer. I hear primer colors make a...

Nice job with the patches. It's giving me inspiration to rip up my floor. Here's the results of my efforts this weekend. The wife assisted me with riveting the runners back on the box, she pushed against the sheet metal from inside the box to get it flush with the runners. (credit to Zout...

Your turn signal matches the brake lights on my M105A2. I'm thinking somebody had too many beers at lunch when they installed your turn signal lamps.

Welcome to the M109A3 Club! :beer: As long as there's stuff to fix you'll never get bored!

I heard somewhere the slobber was caused by not running the engine hot enough, ie lots of idling and short drives. Gimpy: THERE WERE THIRTEEN KIDS AND A BUNCH OF DOGS A HOUSE FULL OF CHICKENS AND A YARD FULL OF HOGS...

It reached a sweet sunny 59 degrees today here in Maine so I tried to make the most of it by spending the day working on the 101A2 and the 109 runners. I had previously removed the rust by abrasive blasting with coal slag from the local Tractor Supply. Cleanup was done with the air gun and a...

Never been to Picatinny, but at Ft Drum they bring the trailer to you with a Forklift. I'd call the GL office where your trailer is to see if they can load it onto your trailer for you.

Thanks for the suggestion Zout, yeah I'll get 'er done this winter. Just whining because I can't work outside in 60-70 degree days anymore this year. I must be getting old. Golden Eagle, an FYI, one thing I found about mine is the metal was only primed on under the box runners thus leading to...

I was thinking that too about the double output PTO and the frame. I'd be curious to know what the data plate on the dash says. (I spent too much time last reading the old TMs last night) Also, it should have a starter pedal (no push button) and I think that's a deep water fording valve...

The link works for me, I think you just need to scroll down past the other ebay items at the top of the page. Nice looking ride, very clean. Welcome to the site!

Nice work! I didn't realize there were that many crossmembers....:shock: I plan on tearing up my floor in the near future too, I wish I had your Louisiana temperatures to work in. Summers done up here, too little done too late!

I believe that's a LDS-427 under the hood... Classic! Rear PTO? That could be worth $ ?

FYI, here's a 1969 Army M35A2 Dropside in Vietnam circa 1970, so they were at least making them back then. Mr. Doyle did the registration number check in another thread.

Small World! Here's some pics from a recent air drop at Boris my brother sent back. They let him outside the wire for the first time to collect the gear and burn the parachutes. He's with the 4-320th FA. Ask for Lt. Doody, you might be able to score some of our Mom's peanut butter chocolate...
