    M1028 from Hell finally home!

    Sorry, my mistake as the only standard color they have besides teal is blue. I've been building out a gauge panel for my vintage semi tractor and have been looking a Nordskog and Cyberdyne digital gauges, and Cyberdyne offers blue, red, green and amber versions of their gauges but Dakota is the...

    M1028 from Hell finally home!

    Well, I got my towbar fabbed up Thursday after work and then drove up to Stockbridge after work Friday to get the wayward CUCV. After a good nights rest went over to the body shop and hooked everything up for the long tow home, which ended up taking a little over 12 hours to cover about 450...
