I have never been a fan of Jasper rebuilds.. i have torn down a couple GAS engines of there's, and found stuff like- 3 pistons standerd, 3 .010 oversized, and the other 2 .040 oversized.. cranks ground to a undersize.. but 1 bearing at .010, and the rest at .020.. to me this is shoddy work...
Looks like Matt has sent you a PM (he is the son of the team.. Lol) and if you need a hand getting your truck down here, just let me know.. You have my number.. -Josh
Knox has been getting pretty scarce as of late... back a couple years ago it was tons of M35's and CUCV's but nothing lately... and Indy actually is not on a military base, it is a offsite storage lot..
and just let me know when.. i keep my stuff in charlestown at my buddys farm (same guy...
gotcha.. well the upside for you is that Indy is a major sales site for Gov truck sales.. even if it doesnt run, its not to far to tow-bar it home..
if you would like to come check out a few trucks, i have a M932A1 (5ton tractor), and my friend up the road has a M35 (2 1/2 ton), and M813 (5ton...
welcome! there are a few of us from the area.. i am about 30min away from you.. also check out the KILROY club (MVPA group) we meet once a month, and to all kinds of events around here, the biggest of them just happens to be near you! the lanesville Heritage Weekend.. if you would like more...
On the A/C- I will put a small window unit in the front for the bedroom (5K-btu or so) and I picked up a portable A/C unit to use in the main room. It is 10K-btu, and only requires a 4" exhaust hole on the floor or wall.. And it's a dehumidifier as well. Hopefully 10K-btu can keep up with the...
awesome man! thanks... and just a fyi to everyone, Matt has been VERY VERY helpful with this project! i would still be standing in the middle of the trailer scratchin my head trying to figure out where to start, if not for him..
just a FYI, the "800" and the "900" (if your talking about the M939 trucks) are the same axles with the exception of the brakes, the 939 had air brakes, and the m809 (800) has hydraulic brakes.. the center chuncks are interchangeable.. that being said, i have been looking for 5ton lockers, and...
if i build another one, it will have a toilet, and full bathroom.. but for what this is being used for, there should be bathrooms close by anywhere we are set up at..
i have seen them in campers, but from the git-go on this project, a toilet was not a facter.. i did not want to deal with black water, and the extra plumbing.. and this will have more of a command center use, then as a camper.. so i wanted as much open floor space as i could.. the shower is in...
the shower is a craigslist specal.. $50.. but is is just like the standerd 32"X32" stand up shower you can find at lowes for $350-ish and yes, it is very exhausting.. but it has to be livable by the first week in june for Haspin 2013!! :)
i cant get my tap-a-talk to upload them from my phone.. and i am on a work computer, so i will have to wait till i get home in the morning... sorry Y'all :(
your close enough, just come on out and take a look... be careful though.. we might put you to work.. lol we work on it every wed, thurs, fri in the evenings..
