Yeah those old gassers will always go. The most you have to do is shine up the points, give her fresh fuel and she'll take off. I had an M135 that sat for close to 20 years. Put batteries in it, shined the points, dumped a tea cup of gas down the throat and she was up and running. Never did...

When it comes to oil everyone has their take on it. I use everyday Dexron ATF. I use Dexron because I already have it for other stuff. Or you could use a straight ten weight. Just my 2 pennys.

Hello, That Studey looks like the one that was on Ebay?

I agree. With the cost of replacement, I'd do it. Better to be safe than headless or what not.

JasonS is right....everyone has a different spin. For example. The engine; High mileage 10w40 is a good choice for year round use. The tranny; 80w90 or there abouts would be fine. I, by no means am saying I know what's best. I can say I have owned and operated around 15 of the old GMC...

RE: Re: Auction Watching It's funny you should that about writing them down. I keep a list "on paper" of what I'm after by base, and description. And you're right about moving things around. Many times in the heat of battle at an auction end my list has saved me by being able to make quick...

Allot of times things are listed in the wrong catagory. Sometimes it stays there until the end. Example I found an M35A2C tailgate listed with the generators. It stayed there and I got it. But stuff does get pulled and then relisted in the correct catagory later. A few times things have...

Knowing some of the crazy stuff that has happened to me dealing with DoD I'd say this is the real thing. Just the same I'd play it safe using the local PD or what not until you verify this individual.

I haven't seen any, other than what someone put together. I don't think they had them. They always have those OshKosh, FMC, Sicard(Snowblaster) trucks. The closest would be this 1964 Sicard Snowmaster jr. I have. Originally had a rear engine and front blower. They modified it and put a 11ft...

Or lock the steering some how and lift the rear. Less weight in the air therefore more on your front axle.

I would not think it is much different than what I did yesterday. Using an 2 1/2 ton truck to pull my 5 ton M52A2 home. 274 miles total. When you figure the weight of what I was driving and that of what I was pulling I would say it'd be about the same as what you want to do. Just both...

Buy it. It's a little more than I just paid for mine.......but in a hella lot better condition. You have the means it's justified. That's my 2 penny's worth.

www.awdirect.com is a good place for anything to do with towing or recovery. Many different cables etc. and a whole lot more.

I'm just thinking I want one to play with. Do they run at all? How long they been sitting?

gimpy, I have window assemblies and blackout panles if you need them. I have a few sets of steps(ladder) also. Shoot, now that I think of it.....I have one box(shop body) that has the original heater unit in the front. Let me know if you need something.

Yeah maybe Murphy doesn't travel over there. We all know he has plenty time here. I will have to say though I haven't ever really had a big problem on the road. This last year I travel to Aberdeen proving ground once, Wright-Patterson twice, Letterkeny three times, Buffalo twice, and one trip...

That's a list that should cover it all. Did you have any room left in the bed? I now know that I'm crazy for just jumping in the truck and going to town with it. Just kidding AMGeneral. I read your post about enjoying today. Been there oh so many times....and done that. My trucks work...

Speaking of triangles. The other day I got pulled over and given a complete DOT check by our wonderful PA Sate Police. Just happens that I did not have my triangles or fire extinguisher in the truck. Of course they ticketed me for that and a whole string of other things telling me that I did...

Got the same email. I have a copy and am still going over it. I am unsure just how the everyday guy is going to "prove" some of the stuff in it. I think it is another little step towards pushing out the individual.

Joel, I have used "seal-all" for years. Wal-mart generally sells it(in auto sec.). Comes in a red, black, yellow tube. A couple ounces. Costs a buck something. Clean the surface real good and put it on. Unbelievable stuff, especially when you look at the price of it. I did a tank on an...
