    tapping the deuce's fuel tank for a generator

    RE: tapping the deuce I'd like to do the same thing one of these days. The fuel feed to your genset will be no pressure so rubber hose will work as long as it is rated for fuel. Use a heavy walled, reinforced fuel hose to prevent collapsing at any bends in the hose routing. Definately use an...

    Exhaust Muffler

    Negative for VPW. I'll try the others. I know Memphis will be the higher of the two. Thanks

    Exhaust Muffler

    Hey guys, Who sells nos or repro mufflers for the M715? I'm an M715 noob and don't know the best supplier to go to for certain parts. Thanks!

    gillespie paint

    Serp, for painting the wood, brushing it on works very well too. You can work it into the wood and a reducer is not needed. I use the gillespie primer on wood also. A hardener works well too. I use PPG Starthane catalyst, Star 1000 with excellent results.

    Decals or Paint

    David, when the Army authorized the use of self adhesive numbers/letters/stars, seems like I read where the vehicle had to be marked in one or the other, paint or decal, and not a combination of both. Is that true?

The front may have a very little bit of sag to it, in fact it probably does with 20 yrs on it. You may be able to have a spring shop re arc them for you. If you are...

    door locks on m1008

    Because they all use the same 'B' blank key, that is why chains are installed so the steering wheel can be locked. Changing out the door and ign lock cylinders is not difficult. You will need a steering wheel puller though. The tailgate lock cylinder on the 1009's can be removed and 'keyed' to...

    Did you remember to remove the exhaust cap before transporting? :) Hope you were able to get it on the trailer under it's own power.
