    Recovery Time - Ft Sam

    Here are some pics from my recovery today. A big thank you to Mark for getting me started! The rain really sucked, especially when the driver's side windshield wiper arm came apart! I swapped the passenger side arm to the driver's side and everything got better. More rust on the truck than I...

    I hope to get over there on Tuesday to see if it's roadworthy or not. Then I'll see where things go from there.

    Paid in full invoice - finally! Ft Sam, here I come!

    It's been 64 days. I was really sweating it that there'd be an email saying "Time's up. Here's your money back, do try again, won't you!"

    Paid in full invoice - finally! Ft Sam, here I come!

    I told Santa that all I wanted for Christmas is my big green truck. Today, I finally got my paid in full invoice - wahoo! Now I actually get to use all of that recovery gear that's been piling up in the garage. My company closes down between Christmas and New Year's so I'll have plenty o'...

    Anybody Win Anything Through Todays Gov. Liquidation Auction?

    No CUCV, but I scored a nice m105a2. Wrong color, but that's easy to fix!

    Bobbed truck, Shocks or Not?

    Way back in technical school my instructor showed us how the forward placement of the shock on one end of the axle and the rearward placement of the one on the other end helped control axle wrap - told us that "shock absorber" is a misnomer, it's actually an oscillation damper. Can't hurt!

    Just took Queen Lola for a spin

    So, is that how you're supposed to wash a deuce - take it to the nearest fire station and have the pumper hose it down? :lol:

    Cheap Tires in South Texas & AL

    I bought a couple of 9.00x20s at the north Houston location for $39 each in preparation for my upcoming (on hold!) recovery at Ft. Sam. Also got some good tubes for $5, no flaps though. Nice folks to deal with and they have 11.00x20s and the bigger super singles also. Deep tread and great...

    Select Vehicles on Hold GL WHAT?

    I hope this all gets resolved soon - buying this deuce is my mid-life crisis! I don't wanna have to go buy a stupid looking little red convertible sports car like everybody else does for their mid-life crisis! Gee-whiz!!:shock:
