Light comes from the edges of the gauge. I did not see backlit numbers in person. I believe this appearance may be just the camera's view of things. Admittedly, I did have them on the brightest setting.

I’m certain you are aware of the two settings on the 3 way light switch “panel dim” and “panel bright”. Here is the rheostat dimmer switch that also controls panel gauges.

There’s something like 12-13 oz of gear oil in the front ones. I doubt “dry out” is a factor unless there is another problem with a seal or excessive heat from bad bearings. FYI. The rear hubs are lubricated by, and share the oil in, the entire differential and axle housing. Oil level there is...

Naw, they just copied yours... although the vertical exhaust stack is a nice touch.

Doug, are you saying the hubs will “use” oil on a long trip? I’ve checked the oil in the hubs in July. I’ve seen no leakage since. I will check them again, but haven’t heard of them using up the oil. There have been lots of reports of hubs that were not serviced right and are run with low/no...

It’s dark enough now for a photo of the dash lights.

I can meet you somewhere in town this coming Thursday or Fri. to pick up some small items Brit. I think Scott will want to jump on 40 west from the Bellevue area where I live and not come back into town.

Seller update: I’m working in support of this journey by checking and repairing a few small items prior to Recca01 arriving in Nashville. Here is a brief update: 1. Moved several tires around on the truck to get the best ride. 2. Checked air compressor mounts and gear nut. It was tight! I...

Mine is on the sticker on top of the valve cover between intercooler piping like suprman mentioned.

Wow, that was a great find sir! I’m glad to see it was so well preserved and was easy to assemble and get operational.

Thank you Scott. I think we are now far enough along in our planning for this transfer that we can share... Nashville to San Diego. Some of you may have seen his thread in the "transportation needs" section...

A genset is a good place to start! My first purchase was a MEP-802a. You’ll need a MV soon to compliment the stationary equipment. That’s how it went for me.

Welcome from TN. Thank you for your service.

Are you sure your fan clutch is working on the engine fan? Both of my trucks have been almost reasonable for conversation when that fan is not engaged.

There you go... The row labeled "curb" is unloaded weight. The row labelled "gross" is total evenly loaded. It's even broken down by front axle, rear axle and total weight.

Welcome aboard. I also feel like an open book after completing the FASFA for daughter’s college. Plenty of good folk and good info here.

OD, I just found this thread and skimmed over (meaning looked at all photos). What a labor of love. Both for your wife and the 'mite! Thanks for detailing this restoration. I'm sure you and Doc will get it handled. Even if not in time for Veteran's Day, it will be done right! That is a lasting...

I agree that the FMTV/LMTV is comfortable and easy to drive. I really have enjoyed mine. I would be fine taking off on a long trip. I would only change the seats for long trips as the cab is already air-ride. I was able to ride and drive in several different MV's before making a decision. I but...

Welcome from Mid TN.

Yes, My truck has black plastic corrugated wire loom cover on the rubber hoses to protect them. It is also not UV stable, but is a cheap sacrificial cover. These were a little short and the hoses have degraded.
