Did I smell Apple Crisp when I drove by on Friday? Just finishing up a project but will find some time to stop by soon. The ice will be ready for hockey by Tuesday night so gear up your team! It's a little tough to tell size by the photo without a thousand dollar bill beside them. How big are...

G749 Heater Plumbing Bummer, found a picture. Looks like a plunge into a 'drain plug' at the back of the block. This was an earlier Canadian option. They put the heater under the hood, ran the feed from the water pump to the heater and you can see the short return line going into the...

G749 Heater Plumbing I need to get a picture of the back end for you but it starts here just behind the water pump. We have an adapter tied into that plug. That line runs into the heater and the outflow comes back out of the fire-wall and disappears in the back. I want to use you as an...

They set the trucks up with circulating heaters tied into the heater plumbing. Not sure the difference in power drain off the house but you jump in and the water is warm, oil is warmish and the heater blows warm air. Big difference in base price investment so let's do some shopping. Did you...

So much of the work on them is just labor, taking them apart, cleaning and reassembling. Seeing another one get some attention makes me think I like cleaning them up as much as I like owning a clean one. Time off and good weather is a unique combination so enjoy that time and keep the progress...

I started taking coffee and donuts to my local registration office. Those girls put up with anxious people all day so winding them up with caffeine and sugar seems to get me on the road quick. Vehicle use allowance guidelines need to be much clearer because these restrictions are cramping our...

Do we have a launch date? You're moving along fast so really looking forward to hearing her run. It's good to see you're surrounded by some of the best G749 company a guy could find. Sturmy knows where to find parts! Historical research on her movements from the 50's would have been nice to...

G749 rat rod Researching G749 civilian and service duties we find all kinds of,,,,,,we see the creativity of,,,,the vision of,,,,let's just bump this thread for some more G749 pictures before they're gone. http://caroftheday.com/2016/10/17/an-inspired-custom-truck/

Ice is so unforgiving it's hard to imagine the advantage of siping but the ice racers/ rally drivers do it so....why not? Any grip we can squeeze out of rubber would help until we give in and add studs, then chains. We finally outlawed studded tires on public roads but in the good old days...

Looking at photos of the M1000 trailer I'm thinking you could take off about 16 tires and still haul 22 tonnes. What a beast, very excited to see pictures. There's an old, parted out Dragon Wagon up here I've wanted and the M15 trailer is supposed to be sitting somewhere up north. Saving an old...

That is good news. The brother made it to Kelowna but I'm glad I stayed behind. The snow in the mountains is a little deep this year apparently and travel has been tough. He says he's stuck there but once a guy gets to B.C., well, you know. Check out post number 25 over here. There is a bit of...

The Alert is out. Red Deer Alberta and the Prairie Motor Brigade affiliate of the MVPA is hosting the 2nd annual Military Vehicle enthusiasts swap meet. Aug. 25, 2018 from 9:30 to 4:30. Overnight parking was provided last year for those who can wheel in the day before. The mall is open for...

Yes, sir we need to see pictures. Most of us can't read so pictures are a must. Welcome aboard. Someone will likely follow up with more details but apparently our old deuces can't be tracked using the conventional method https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?164561-2017-vin-info-thread...

I forget what it's like to drive on pavement. Stopping gets me every time whether it's on snow, ice, hills, bridge cross-slopes, intersections, crosswalks....... when a guy 'didn't' see it coming' it's is very humbling and hummerbling. The low traction on the back end was noticeable on an H3...

GMC Axle Here is the report with axle pictures and axle damage on pages 23 and 24. It's with great respect for the families that suffered a loss of life or injury in this incident that we open the dialogue and discuss prevention. Our comments should reflect the seriousness and sadness of this...

That is not a funny story. I came here for a funny story. It looks like you solved the problem with money so you're good... or do you need Chinese translation? I might get an engine/transmission assembly loaded here before spring so I'll run to the scales and get a weight.....just in case you...

Transfer Case M135 2 speed It's so cool hearing from guys, or girls, that make these mechanical upgrades, tasks, projects seem like pouring a bowl of cereal. Thanks for coming along, I greatly appreciate a mechanical mind that can walk us through these jobs. I'll gladly re-string your 12...

It's never too late to get better at something and find solutions, without a doubt. Those are two of the best, signal to tell us what they're thinking and know why they make the intelligent lane selections they do. Educating drivers is vital to continental transportation, safety and even the GDP...

Anyone who has the ability to dream the outcome, then the drive to get it to the finish lines is a master in my books. To take the time to share it, record it and make a decent video of the process, that's just over the top. You're awesome. I'll come down and do some background guitar music for...

That's great that you followed up because the seal in the above photos is not the correct size. We'll get that new part number in the parts cross reference manual and I'm real happy this old book works for something. Once you tear into it, check the 'width' and 'style' of the original seal for...
