Get a quote from an old school Rad shop. If it's a bad seam no problem. If tubes are pinched off and the cores are solid, just get a Civvy 4 core rad off a Suburban. Make sure to toss a tranny cooler onto that thing. It will save you a lot of problems later. (Don't ask how I know ... it was...

Ask Rob Love on Mapleleafup.net . I never saw one of these, but I tried to keep distance from the MPs .... unless I had to get my course candidates out of custody.

Are you OK? These things hit hard sometimes, and even though this is a delayed reaction .... Take good care of yourself. Remember the good times. The rest is just prop wash.

M 211 for sure. the 135 had a lower bed with fenderwells, so it was easier for troops to climb into. Looks not bad, Unknown trucks always make their first ride on a trailer .... it is way cheaper that way!

That is why I posted a link to the plans!

John, I am waiting for a shipment from Supply. You will be one of the very few to have one, and I know that you will be honored.

I am looking for a 3 lever light switch for one of our Legion trucks. Doesn't need to be new, just working. Will arrange USPS shipping.

I'm ruuning in Low Range tonight, but my wrench basher just informed me that it is time to refurb the ignition system. Points, condensor, wires, cap & rotor. I see that there is a current post on SS for Autolite NOS Spark Plugs ... Could you repost the link to the list that you guys put...

I learned something new to me today. One of my old soldiers and I were talking about the problems that I encountered with the truck .... fuel, ignition ... what came up was the fact that our fuel filler caps have 3 distinct settings. Fill (open), Run (vented) and Fording (Sealed). If you crank...

Gun Ring is a BIG No-No. ITAR will not let them out of CONUS. A buddy brought one back in to USA for a show. Trip south, no prob... coming back home ... very interesting!

There are a few MV types around Vancouver, so if Murphy appears within driving distance, you can shoot me a PM. I'll see who I can round up. Have a good trip. Take plenty of Pics!

If you had to sign an EUC to get it, to send it up to us you have to go through someone who holds an export licence. Eastern Surplus or Idaho Motor Pool can help, but remember that they do this for a living ... so they will charge a fee. No EUC and not controlled by ITAR ... Ca$h works!

Only Super Dave has "Better than Original" trucks. M1010 Dough Boy is getting close, and now has a pretty good fleet too! Make the truck mechanically right, and put a 10 foot splash job on it ... it looks good from 10 feet! That way you won't be afraid to have kids crawl into it for photos...

Did I not warn you that this hobby can be addictive? Nice Fleet!

I'm not a skilled wrench basher, but go back to this old thread. The knowledge base rests with these guys, particularly "Major Tom". http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?17023-Hydramatic-Heaven Good Luck, and report back!
