    New Paint Finally Done

    Yep I used xylene and it went great. At 4-1 mix you would really have to try hard to make it run. The 1 thing I noticed on this paint is you need to do at least 4 good coats.

    New Paint Finally Done

    GCI24087 thins 4-1. It sprayed great. When it first went on it looked really brown but by the time I got around to reassembling the truck and paint cured some it litened up alot. I really like the 24087 look there's not enough trucks around in their original color.:-D

    New Paint Finally Done

    No jay- I'm not selling. Way too much time and sweat in this one. I have gotten kinda attached to this one. The 5 ton will have to wait unless someone has a really nice m818 with a deuce bed on it or something like that for a trade! I'm finally getting some use out of the fresh engine uncle Sam...

    Transmission trouble

    depending on the number of parts you may need vs the cost of a good used one I'd go with the used one. Strange that it comes and goes I wander about release bearing coming apart or something in the area. Just my 2 cents C.T.

    Bobbing an 818

    I think I get what hvann is wanting to do but my thought is what about the rotation of the spring package as it is originally intended todo. I would definately go with the front spring package for safety and reliability. just my 2 cents.
