Seems like the less that is said the better. roflAnyway its all in fun and here are a couple photos of my big maintenance task of reupholstering the passenger seat. So if you keeping up I've owned this truck since 2012 and all I have done to it thus far is the rear main seal, clutch, oil change...

Because you guys like photos. Here is one from my July 4th display and the other is my choice of license plates with the original registration number.

Well since that job was done, it was time to put it in a local old truck show in Jun 2017. The deuce didn't win but the mutt took first place. Since this is about the truck I won't post the mutts award. The truck has done other odd jobs since then but I'll have to get with my boy to share some...

Remember the leaking rear main seal? Well I finally got around to it in July 2015. I was looking for an original hoist to take it out but couldn't find one so went to HF and bought a transmission jack. Can't remember what we put the jack on to get it up to the transmission but I can guarantee it...

Remember that leaking rear main well I ignored it for now because that takes time to accomplish. So I did the next best thing and bought a trailer for the truck. Don't worry the truck wasn't driven much with the leaking rear main. Bought trailer Feb 2014.

The nomination photo I used was from the DLA auction site back in March 2012 and was at Fairchild AFB in WA. After I won the auction I had to wait until May 2012 to pick it up and yes it was on Memorial Day that I picked it up. Although DLA was shutdown for the holiday, the individual that I...

Well let's break the ice and see who else is brave enough to go head to head against my 1989 Air Force truck. This is the auction photo from 2013.

The G40H tug has 3 manuals, Operation & Maintenance, Overhaul, and Illustrated Parts Breakdown. There's a manual for the 1972-1977 G40E, G40F and G40G series and was changed in 1978. The G40H was the last model produced by Coleman Motor Company from 1980-1981 with the company eventually...

Not much to show on the tug as I haven't done much other than cleaning it up and removing the push bar the forest service put on it. Interesting thing about the tug is that its 1 of 30 that had the brake system modified by the military to allow it to pull MHU-196 or MHU 173 munition trailers...
