Was over working on the truck yesterday, the one that I took to the VA rally to clean it up and check out and make sure everything is okay, and my keeper which I will be taking to Aberdeen. While I was there, thought I would have some glamour shots taken of the trucks, all lined up nice and...

Okay, it's the Sunday after. Anyone got any pics from the event? Some of us who couldn't make it really want to see !!!

OW MY NECK! Nice looking HMMWV, but I have to hold my laptop sideways to see it....

Eeewwwwww! There's gotta be a pile of it inside the frame rail area and the engine compartment as well. Gotta have taken all day to hose it off. Makes it even worse when I'd prefer wearing a MOPP suit to do that job, and its 110 degrees in the shade in Iraq....

Huh?

Is the museum going to restore it, get it running and completed? (you had mentioned that the wrecker hydraulic pump was needing a rebuild, and the rear winch was toast)

PRETTY PRETTY TRUCKS! Has anyone here had any experience buying from Oshkosh? I have seen their stuff on eBay, the trucks are gorgeous, but I wondered if anyone here would recommend their stuff, or not....

The duallys are much cooler than the standard. Made the shelter carriers are lot more stable.

Most military and government publications are public domain, but since Connie Rodd is a cartoon, it might remain copyright of the artist, unless her image is used in the original context and purpose. But this only applies to Connie Rodd, everything else would be fair game.

Perhaps both, but I would say the chances are the tach is closer to actual. They seem to vary a little bit, due to variations in wear and manufacture. I've had deuces that read 2500 rpm and 50mph, and I've had some over 60 mph at 2400 rpm. Not sure why. But I wouldn't push beyond 2600 rpm or...

RE: Duece Fuel tank I've seen them as cheap as $50, but average I have seen is about $150.

How about BBQ lighter fluid? Got a few containers of it, old but still smells like petrol-based stuff.

RE: Re: RE: Bolts Uhh....that's a lot of bolts! Can't help you with all of them, but I'm sure your local hardware store has a lot of them. I replace all the heavy duty bolts with Grade 8, and all the light duty bolts with Stainless, since I don't ever want to deal with frozen bolts and nuts...

When I picked trucks up with Rob, before we left the lot, they check to make sure we have some documents stating that the vehicle is insured, and at least has a one-way trip permit for the road. Other than that, happy trails! If you are indeed worried about bringing it home, from a legality...

New paint, how many miles on the odometer? Usually they replace those when the motor is changed. My truck had 37 miles on the clock, and looked the same as yours. It might be new! Cross your fingers.

Man, that looks like a nice truck! Did you get a GMA vinyl cover for it?

Normal should be around 90 psi. Sounds like an overpressure valve is stuck or needs adjustment.

Guess two people REALLY had to have it and got into a bidding war.

His eBay user ID is beltfed34. They aren't cheap, but he has some great stuff.
