They're pretty well-known and dependable, and a w-e-e-e-e bit pricey.
But they're pretty much everywhere, on the east coast anyway.

That is true, but they can get the "hard to find" stuff though, and at least there they have a face you can talk to unlike McMaster Carr. Don't get me wrong I love McMaster too but I'd rather have a person I can talk to if I have issues or wanna make sure something is absolutely right before purchasing or ordering.They're pretty well-known and dependable, and a w-e-e-e-e bit pricey.

That's true, and all the staff in the few Fastenal shops I've been to all are more than willing to chat and build relationships. Their marketing is good in that sense.

Hey folks .I just found a hard top with a sliding back glass. Does anyone know if a top for an m39 will fit a 900series?

Only M939 hardtops will work. The M939 cab is wider than all its predecessors.

I believe it will fit deuces and the 809 series trucks also.
Decided to diagnose my non functioning fuel gauge, always said I was empty. Found the float to have a hair line crack and full of diesel. No wonder! I drilled a small hole, cleaned it up, and brazed a patch over it. Quickly found out it was a balancing game with heat and made a new hole that had to be addressed, fuel sending unit works now, shows 3/4 tank when full but anything is an improvement!

Like your police cruiser, Elijah95.
I bet it gets right up and goes when you mash that pedal.

Once I fixed mine it shows 3/4 tank full too, but it's better than reading E all the time. At least now reading E means to get worried lol.Decided to diagnose my non functioning fuel gauge, always said I was empty. Found the float to have a hair line crack and full of diesel. No wonder!

ALWAYS better reading a bit LESS but always empty sucks. Old man tip : when fixing brass floats, drain, heat with propane torch to make sure inside is dried out. Solder the patch with the same propane torch. Brazing is too hot. (as you found out) Here endeth the lesson.
If ya wanna "fine tune" the reading, bend the arm slightly between the float and the potentiometer to get it closer to Max. sweep. I am happy with 7/8 reading when it's full. Leaves 1/8 "reserve". Wut is that for an nhc250 ? About 10 miles ?

4-H Fair Parade Hancock County In.
I thought the truck deserved a Blue Beacon truck wash for the parade today. So I end up staged next to a GMC pickup with bigger tires (16x20's) than mine but I'm pretty sure I could drag him around like a toy
