Time to turn a page in my life. It has been an absolute honor and privelege getting to know all of you here. You guys were all a huge part of my teenage life and were good influences. I learned a lot with the GMC. I do not have any regrets. But it's time to move onto bigger things. I joined the...

The engine is almost finished. Oh, and I put a deposit down on this M1009 tonight locally.Oh yeah I think it's safe to say i'll still be here for awhile. Bunch a **** enablers you all are and I love every one of ya http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?116978-Fugly-M1009-gets-a-new-home

Mystery solved that big 1/2 "seal" is actually a retainer. The push rod seal was still in the main body plate of the air pak, it was so dirty inside I did not see it was still in there. Pulled right out by threading a 1/2 bolt into it and tapping it out. Nathan gave me an original leather push...

AIR PAK parts kit has arrived! Dan, I had a question for you. It seems the pushrod seal in the GMC air pack is much larger in size than the pushrod seal that comes with the M800 5 ton kit. Will the 5 ton seal work or do I need to give Precision Rebuilders another call for the right part? Here's...

It's all good Stan, I am on a 105 year plan myself and if I play my cards right I'll make it there. So he'll have to sit at the bar for awhile until I get there. This news made my day, the shop called and the block is done. It passed magnafluxing and was line honed with the girdle installed...

It's time like these I wish I had more of my Steelsoldiers buddies closer, I got a text tonight from my friends wife that my friend Kyle was in a car accident back in August and did not make it. She had no way of contacting me until she found an email I had sent to him months ago wondering if...

I totally forgot Dan! I've been non stop since this morning and am winding down for the day at 9:20. Bout my usual bed time these day's. You can skip the socks but I do need new chonies. The elastic in mine are plum worn out! Leave out the ones with bacon strips. PM headed yer way.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner Dan, I mostly need the light bucket guts since mine were totally corroded and flaking apart but a couple of my buckets themselves also have broken off screws inside and it would be easiest to just use another bucket. So whatever you can spare. I only need 2 sets...

Today was a big day. Got my refund on my wheel bearings, and dropped the block and crank off for machine work today. Also picked up a new phone last night so I am able to take 720p HD video now along with pics again. Section8, there is a snap ring (more of a spring wire clip) inside under the...

Dan, I certainly can!! They are still unopened. I need 2 rear wheel bearings and their corresponding races for 1 wheel hub. All the other wheels looked great except that one which had pitted bearings. I'll shoot you $20 for postage brother!! Very much obliged.... List? You got it Dan...

Nathan is mailing my AIR PAK bits tomorrow. For the price of postage I might add. So a big hats off to Nathan Bequette and Precision Rebuilders. :beer: Hit NAPA this morning. 2 wheel bearings and 2 races for $117. That's $20 cheaper than Memphis Equipment. Here are the part numbers BR39590...

Well I thought finishing that box of AIR PAK parts would a great way to kick off re-entering the GMC zone. A Mr.Nathan Bequette from Precision Rebuilders was who I had written down as a parts source and guru on the model 2500685 AIR PAK. Wouldn't you know it, he is on Facebook and for the past...

I was going to order 2 bearings and 2 races from Memphis. I believe Dave-O gave me the part #'s for the seals. Ahh yes, here they are on the back of the Levy book. I see his black boot print over the back page.

I forgot that just before I went AWOL here I had bought the 12 wheel cylinders I needed. I only have half of them on. It's funny because with how little i've played with the Jimmy the past several months, let alone thought about her all of the to do's and specs are coming right back to me...

I COMPLETELY FORGOT!! SHOUT OUT TO STAN LESCHERT FOR THE CARGO BOWS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO!! They will be cleaned up and put to great use! I have to ask, did you send over 9 or 10 of them?

BOO!!! I am taking my brothers job at the country club at the end of August. With some steady income I still have every intention of completing little Jimmy. She waits, patiently. :) When finished I can begin putting aside northern money for work with Davey Jones!

Man that was pure poetry. My hat is off you you, it's been simmering on craiglist for 48 hours. I like your perspective Dave, however much I try to detach the emotional aspect from the build, it is hard to deny the fact the entire project brought more than a few souls together in this world, it...

Right here in Yuma, Arizona.

Well It pains me to write this, but she is up for sale as of tonight. About 3 weeks ago the grandparents started hinting around the fact they'd appreciate their view of the backyard back. And I can't say I blame them one bit, when it's gone it's gonna look like a building was tore down...

Dave, dave, dave, davey! Don't you feel like slapping that guy named Murphy sometimes? He comes around at the worst possible time.....that's his law alright. A quick walk around on the GMC.....I am in need of 2 rear markers (2 wire) and 1 front marker (3 wire). The rest of my light assemblies...
