Here is a project I am working on. I have painted and started cleaning up this 1958 machine shop truck. The star locations and size have been identified thru sanding and revealing the original placements. We never knew they were there before this. What do you think? I also put one on the hood. I...
You've done all the work. The book is very good by the way. I have copied the pics you posted to add to the bikes "provenance". I had it at Carlisle last week and the story just blows people away especially with the pics to back it up!
Thanks again. I an going to repair it to military specs. I have gotten the book you mentioned which had the last picture you posted (in front of the HUMVEE). WHere did you find the other pictures?

Thanks. I should have joined this Forum earlier. Great to know you people are nearby. The truck has a Detroit 8.2 v8. These are known for their lack of top end power . GVW is 35K with empty wt at around 24K. It was built for the airstrip and the gearing in the diff limits it's top speed...
