Went on a whim yesterday and pulled out a couple glowplugs... lets just say they are swollen... Picked up new plugs popped them in and starts every time with the momentary switch. Looks like i might be able to drive this thing sooner than later! :driver: gonna go on a road test tonight and see...

Thank you all for the warm welcome to the world of mid size military trucks! LoL! So tonight I replaced the tierods and sleeve between the pitman arm and steering arm on the LF knuckle. Quick and easy. Made a world of difference! Almost no slop now. Going to do the ends on the relay rod...

Thank you! Just need harnesses to make that clear.

Cleaning the upstairs and look what I found in the family room! A good windshield! By golly I sure have had a lot of projects...

Ah the forklift tales.... GL employees have a history of moving vehicles around with them and the vehicles just happen to end up with random holes in oil pans, fuel tanks, tail gates etc.... I'll be lucky enough to get him to work on mine! He has a 1964 English Ford Cortina he manages to work...

This one went from the service to a police department. (black paint...) Therefore, I'm willing to bet it never had to face a GOV-LICK forklift face to face! It has however had the wiring harness hacked on... FUN! Guess I'll have to buy my dad some beer since Auto-Electric is his specialty!:beer:

So I've been playing with MV's for a couple years now. I've always wanted a CUCV and just happened across this one a friend had to find a home for. Plan on making this my daily.

I use a twenty ton bottle jack. and 2 12 ton stands on my trucks. After I get the wheel off I invite my friends over for some beers and to unknowingly get conned into loading them in the back of my 1 ton. Then i proceed to deliver said wheels, any new flaps, tubes, and/or tires to "metro"...

Awesome!!! Now I know who to call when I break down on 270! lol I must say that wrecker looks right at home working like that!:grd:

My bracket mounts off of one of the clamps for the heatshield i believe.

lol silly me i should have figured this out... The Greater Saint Louis Area Council is hosting an event called ScoutQuest 100. wich is more of a regional event. I thought something seemed funny when the speaker at my last Mid-America MVPA meeting said this was going to be the National Jamboree...

Glad to hear these scouting/mv stories! The jamboree will be here in St. Louis in the first week of June. our local chapter of the MVPA will be displaying at the event. With any luck i'll have my m35a2, the cucvII clone and an m818 in attendance. frankly when i was a scout i had no desire to go...
