Hey does that fuel heater work in your 109's box? Did you get any spoils in your toolbox? If not some things I would recommend to you. Gladhand airhose(hook into your emergency glad hand on the back of your truck to air up your tires), at least a 3 ton bottle jack, lug wrench w/handle for the...
Kind of weird to find the slave cable receptacle on the inside of the cab. I'm sure there was a good reason for doing that. Oh no worries on the fire extinguisher. I stowed it in the tool box:wink: From what I've been told, that truck has defaulted a couple times and has been there since Summer...
D'oh, so you're the one who I was bidding against. I was hoping it wasn't a fellow SS. Oh well:-) Yah, if I were getting this truck for myself I would have stopped early. However, I was after the split braking system for my wife. It was a definate bonus to get the air o matic w/her. I got the...
Hammer, wait a second I thought you were liquidating your 2.5 tons for a 5 ton:wink: Were you the one who I was bidding against until the end? So exactly how long has that truck been sitting there?
I completely drained the fuel tank last night. Yikes there were patches of brown goo on the bottom of the tank. I got her cleaned up pretty good and gave her a good diesel rinse before putting fresh diesel in. Need to get the oil changed and fuel filter changed out tonight.

Wow, outstanding memory!!!! My father in law was indeed w/the 2/60th, 9th Infantry Division from '67-'68 and was actually included in Senator John McCain's autobiography on pg 276 of Faith of my Father's (SSGT Randy Carpenter). He pretty much spent his entire tour in the Mekong, along w/the...
Hey thanks for all the comments guys. I'll get some pics of the motorpool shortly. Got 3 deuces and 2 trailers on my less than 1/4 acre lot. Yes, I am still on the hunt for a Shop Van truck.
Hey Aaron, thanks. I was thinking of you and the convoy on the way home. Yes this truck will be the one in the convoy:-) Need to get that SF97 request off pronto:-D
Just got home with my 1988 M35A2C. The day was pretty much uneventful and it appears Mr. Murphy missed me:wink: My day started out at 0330 hrs. I awoke to the thought of double checking my gear and supplies. I scurried out into the garage to recheck and double check everything. Everything was...
