    Old MilSpec Paint

    I used some 25 year old alkyd enamel to camo a pickup, it was old milsurp paint, worked like a charm and wore like iron. Most of the old enamels will work fine if they were properly sealed up. I would use it to paint the frame, and undercarriage, and get new paint for the topside.

    Where are the Studebakers?

    Several years ago Maccus and I both saw an M34A2 go through GL somewhere out West. It was an original Studebaker, and looked like it had been the motor pool Sgt.s toy. It had a turbo multifuel, the original single wheels, radials I think, and a hardtop if I remember correctly. It was really...

    winch issues on deuce

    The winch mounted lever is strictly to freespool the winch and pay out cable, with the PTO disengaged. The operator runs the winch from the cab, using the clutch to apply or remove power, and the PTO lever for forward and reverse. Yes, I have a winch, and have used them for years. Winches can be...

    Getting fuel out of underground tank??

    Use an air operated pump if you can. I have one you can use if you don't mind shipping it back to me later. You can run it with air pressure from the deuce.

    No More Political Avatars or Signatures or Slamming!!!

    Politics should not be discussed in polite company. Religion is almost as divisive. I would suggest we discuss nothing more controversial than your favorite brand of beer!

    GL reselling trucks

    RE: GSA Item On-line auctions are that way. There are people that will bid on 25 or 30 items, only needing (and planning on buying) 1 of the items. I had a person try to default on an E-Bay purchase of some golf cart tires because he decided he wanted taller than stock sizes. This is after he...

    Air compressor wrench

    Re: RE: Air compressor wrench I sold all mine and don't plan on making any more. If you want the AutoCAD file so you can have one lasered, or just make your own, send me a PM. I can't attach a .dwg or .dxf file, filetype is not allowed. Hmm.... May have to talk to mangus about that!

    Seeking info about Deuce wheels and truck/car tires

    You should be able to turn down a rim and get the desired bead flange for a motorcycle tire. Of course, finding someone with a 20" swing lathe can be problematical........ Good thing I have access to one for my wheel widening project!

    Not an MV but my "While deployed V

    RE: Re: RE: Not an MV but my "While deployed V Last I heard, the most made in America vehicle was the Toyota Tundra. I believe everything but the powerpack was US made, and the tranny might have been made in the US too. Honda has a big transaxle plant here in Ga, and a big assembly plant in...

    Radial Tire Options/need a supplier......

    RE: Radial Tire Options 12.50R20 will fit in a dual application, and are the same height as 900's. 14.50 R20 will run as singles, and are the same height as 1100's. 1200R20 would be taller than 1100's, which are taller than 900's, so I don't think they are what you want. The good thing is...
