Woooops! DAM* I FEEL LIKE A DUFUS!!!!!!! Sorry, I just googled Harrison - but of course there would be more than one, right! Nope, I totally understand about the "officers" attendance - knew there had to be an underlying reason. As I said, there would probably be some traveling a...

Conflicts Gee guys, too bad it has to be on a Sunday morning. Would love to have been able to make it. I realize that it is impossible to make everybody happy (trust me, I have beatten myself up trying for family things) but just something to think about. There is probably more than a couple...

in memory of THUMPER Hey guys, The only one that really got a name (I may resurect it on one of the others) because it fit so well - I've sold it to someone who wanted to restore it, but it was a 52 Studebaker M44 (cab & chassis only w/ factory singles in rear). I had custom rims on the back...

Just the Ticket Thanks, guys. I have been meaning to try some researching and get a replacement for the one that is in the Detroit Diesel 6V53TA that is in the "Baby HEMTT" (actually, the 5-Ton HMTT). The one that was in it was bad when I went to coordinate pick up and delivery last winter...

I hear that the swap to a BBC is pretty slick even with the original trans. I was going to do the same to an original gas M44 (single rears, chassis only). Bought the engines and the trans's that came with them for the swap - and then sold the truck to someone who wanted to restore it (to tell...

Just added some "creature comforts" for use at car and truck shows - works out great (you have to see the looks on people's faces when we push open the whole driver's side of the van body and create the "covered porch"!). Removed 90% of the water purification system and installed additional...

You guys are just too funny - got to love this site - thanks guys..............

any other alternate battery box suggestions How about that - I am in need of replacing the battery box on one of my trucks, too. But I need suggetions. The battery box on this MV sits out from under the cab (behind the cab - truck is a cabover). I love the new plastic/composite battery...

Thanks, Stan - at least if I get a price from them, I'll know what the price "could have been"!

Also, I guess part of me would much rather send some dollars to some of the guys here than over the parts counter if I can. I know that's tough when your talking about a specific part, but I thought it was worth a shot.

I thought so - I saw the "part numbers" that you listed, but they were (2 out of 3) the same as the "part number" listed in my TM's and I wasn't sure if they were a FED number or a Bendix number. Thanks, Dave.

I'm beginning the restoration of a truck and I was wondering if any of our vendors out there use the NSN (National Stock Number) to reference their stock. I'm probably going to be looking for some specific items (the first one I have tracked down is a Bendix Air Dryer/Evaporator, NSN...

Just a thought Damon, if adapting it to a gearbox and then to a hyd pump seems a little involved - what about leaving it 28 volt. You already have the generator - an great source for constant 10K of 28V DC power - adapt it to a battery bank or something (mostly for starting and power loss -...

Thanks, guys - will have to see what she will do when she cranks over. Couple of things are missing on the engine/trans I think, will have to do some research and fill her up. I'll let you know if it makes nice, really loud music or not so nice, really really loud sounds! Dave

Hey Wreckerman - the truck you got that had been drained, was it ok or did it need a new powerplant? I guess this is where I'm going with the question.

starting & loading Well, I know for a fact that it was pulled onto the trailer w/ a heavy civilian wrecker (I scheduled the wrecker, had them do a preview, and paid the bill for the loading!). I'm also 99% sure that noone attempted to start it as the batteries were gone before I even began to...

Just had a truck brought home w/ lowboy. Giving it a once or twice (maybe three times) going over what is what and the first major thing that I noticed is that the engine oil has been drained. I don't see any obvious signs of engine malfunction. I have heard that on some bases most if not...

Very cool - good job and thanks for the pictures!

the 5-Ton HMTT Still waiting for spare time to do some wrenching...................

That is so cool - I always find it amazing how some things (some historical in nature) can survive the casualties of time, somehow managing to dodge the cutting torch or the scrapper or in this case even the painter! Very cool to see - thanks for the pictures. I don't know about the rest of...
