Welcome from Janesville,
Read the postings about Wisconsin and our fine Dot in the politics forums, but don't let that scare you away from owning one of these trucks !! If it was such a bad thing to have these trucks , well .... I would have just stayed with building up newer Jeeps to play with...
Do you have any construction companies around you that have semis and heavy equipment ? I know here at my shop I have a bunch of these and when I needed one I just went and dug through the pile. Or if you have to get in touch with a Cat dealer see if they have a drop box in your area. Pay for...
In my opinion NO! Back in the mid 80's when I was a mechanic at a GM dealership I replaced WAY too many 6.2 and 5.7 diesel engines under warranty. None of the flat rate wage guys wanted to touch them but because I was hourly they were my job. It was good training for me on diesels though :-D ...
I'll put it on the calender, since I'll be down the street at the Jefferson swap meet I think we could bring some kind of green truck too. Gonna have to figure out a rain dance .... Jefferson swap weekend always rains and I still go rain, snow or shine.

On my 1955 CJ-5 when I rebuilt the f-head engine , I put in hardened exhaust seats, smoothed out the ports, put on a Clifford Research header ( I don't think these are made anymore) and rebuilt the stock YF carb. Also I installed a Pertronix ignition (no more points). You might want to check...
Awesome,:grin: another m29 rescue. Hope to see you over on the m29 weasel.com forum.
My avatar is my weasel that I recovered down in New Mexico. It was an over 3000 mile trip from Janesville, Wis. but well worth it. I had a blast and I will never forget it.

I wish I could go this year. I went last year and had a good time. I remember there was some military clothing, jeep and deuce parts back near where I camped out, someone also brought an assortment of plastic models. Cool museum to go through lots of armor,PBR boat and some soft skinned...
