Hi Would add a comment if you vehicle is insured as an antigue, the same things that make it an RV may invalidate your antique vehicle insurance. Just a thought. Ran into this on my 3 ton CMP radio truck, when my antique insurer actually looked at my Web page. Saw that it was set up in the...

Hi All Just received three new extinguishers under the recall program, my claim was submitted Nov 3rd. So if you put in your claim around that time you should be seeing soon. If you have not put in a claim go back to the beginning of the this thread and put in your claim. The new...

Hi To add to the general knowledge base, if you are going to unpack heater kit how about laying out all the parts and taking some detailed photos? Or is there a detailed parts sheet with pictures? Great find, have several friends with M38s that will be drulling. Cheers Phil

Hi Scott Fair question, I have a feeling that there is no single answer, to your question. It is very common to see MVs with detailed and meticulously researched military and unit markings on them. In some states you can even operate your truck with just the military numbers displayed (as...

Hi Mark Just shows that there're great MVs out there to be found, great condition, really good price, drive and enjoy. Cheers Phil

Great approach for us in the north You are right on the mark with this approach to load bank, why not have a load bank that can heat your garage or shop. Up here in New England many of our lengthy power outages are in cool or down right cold weather, so electric shop heater good choice for...

Hi All It was just on the morning news that KIDDE is having a major recall on fire extinguishers dating back 70s. Just checked the shop and trucks an I have 3 of the larger units on the list. Here is the link to the government website, the actual lis is on this site-...

5 MPG loaded or empty? Hi Russ Fuel economy is an intersting topic be it a 5 ton or Jeep, a lot of it is the vehicle, a lot of it is the driver. I assume your 5 MPG is running empty, can't help wonder what the same truck, running the same route would get running fully loaded? The another...

Hi You might contact the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro, NH http://wrightmuseum.org/index.html they have some recent experience in search for a new radial engine for their Sherman after a catastrophic failure. Cheers Phil

Two questions many answers Hi In rereading this thread I realized that there are really TWO questions which present different problems. 1. I'm on the side of the road can't get lug nuts off? 2. Truck is parked in the shop and the lug nuts are not yielding to my normal methods? My comment was...

Hi If miss read the casting number and is 3769716 then it comes up as 235 truck 58 to 62. Have not gotten to other computer yet to search for photos. The Canadian Pontiac I've been told had a 261 Cheers Phil

Hi Duuane Now you got me scratchin my head, started searching for your engine casting number 8769716 in the casting listing no surprise it doesn't showup, but this is not uncommon most of the databases are looking at US numbers and don't show the Canadian casting numbers. So that will take...

Hi All Saturday Oct 21 our local club had its annual fall foliage tour 140 miles + of roaming around on the back roads of New Hampshire. Here is our starting line up we had a couple more people who had hoped to attend but home commitments kept them away this year, well maybe next year. We...

Hi Agree completely on acetone/ATF as being the best rust breaker, add vibration and time. With wheel lugs and rim bolts that don't yield to impact wrench, I soak them with the witches brew turn down the impact wrench vibrate the nut soak down the nuts again and walk away for day. Come back...

Hi Back to the original issue of removing stuck spin-on filters, having crushed one or two filters and put holes in a few. Found a trick that seems to work (somethings) take a large screw type hose clamp as close as possible to the base plate, position the screw head so you can get the head...

Hi Duuane Interesting reading, will have to print out some of the pages and then go compare with details on my late 50s 235 and 62 261 chevy engines in two of my CMPs. I have posted the engine section of the 1960 Chevrolet Truck Manual if that is interest...

Hi Duuane You mention distributor as being the same as civilian chevy 235, which 235 the early or late as I'm not sure they are interchangeable. Will do some digging the Chevy parts book and see what info I can dig up. Good idea to gather up key bits of info on parts. Cheers Phil

This one photo is definitely worth a 1000 words Cheers Phil

Yes, very good how to post. Particularly like your plywood sandwich approach to rotating the tank without damage to the tank. Cheers Phil
