My chicago trip has been canceled so I am 99.9% sure I will be there Sat. morning. I will have my digital still camera but I don't know about video (if you knew what Uncle Sam paid for that video cam you would freak). :shock: I may be in my green 1970 Duster if I get it prepped for the trip...

With enough time, money. tools and patience you can do just about anything. It would probably be a very labor intensive PITA project. There is probably someone out there looking for a top just that size. I would try to find one that fits and sell the one that don't. Just my 2 Lincolns worth.

Never underestimate the ingenuity of a determined good ole boy. With duct tape, baling wire and vice grips we can fix anything. Years ago in Korea we went to the port to pick up some 900 series 5-ton cargos. One of them had a leaking pancake seal in the air brake chamber. When the brakes were...

Even though I am MV less at this time :( I am planning on attending. I have to fly to Chicago Thursday to meet with some WWII veterans from the 87th Infantry Division Association. 8) My presentaion is Friday and I hope to catch the redyeye back Fri. night and make it Saturday morning. Looking...

Ken, Many people in the hot rod crowd "clone" vehicles. I don't think anyone would slam you for doing the same for a MV as long as you didn't try to misrepresent is as an "original" and sell it as such. I think what you do is only limited by your imagination and wallet. My advice (for what it's...

A woman that loves dueces!!!!!! :shock: Be still my beating heart. :D He better keep her away from MV rallys.

Your route shows you going from Nashville to Chattanooga via I-24. You will have to cross Monteagle mountain. :shock: It is a bitch kitty of a mountain for a truck (I was a commercial truck driver for a long time). You will drag ass up one side and the other side is very steep (they have...

Maybe if you had put a ton or so of ballast in the bed you could have yanked that stump up. The mass coupled with momentum would have helped. Just my 2 cents worth. :D

I leave tomorrow for Hawaii. Taking the better half on a 20 year anniversery vaccation. If it puts her in a good mood I may be able to sneak "old yeller" into the back yard. If all else fails I'll buy her a new car. That usually lets me get a new "toy". That old wrecker will probably enbd up...

Injecting cool or cold WVO into a diesel engine can cause "coking" or a buildup of carbon on the pistons and other parts. That is why it is a must that you have a good heat exchanger and switching system. I have buddy that ran an F-250 Powerstroke on bio diesel and then straight WVO. He home...

Just speculation on my part but the velcro may have been to attach MILES gear. That is basically a military laser tag system. Soldiers and vehicles were outfitted with sensors that pick up signals from sending units mounted on weapons. If you or your vehicle got hit your MILES gear would put out...

Nothing like "good ole boy inginutiy" at work. :D

4X4, I am 80 miles from Redstone and have bought stuff from up there a few times. I am 40 miles from Anniston Army Depot. Will they allow me to pick up your items? Keep in mind that at this time I have a Ranger pick-up and a small single axle trailer. Will a canned engine fit in the back...

Rick and all concerned. I'm going to pick up metal tomorrow and I will be going past the wreckers. I will stop in and talk to Mrs Battles. If she will store it for me I may go ahead and buy it. My main reason for not buying is lack of room to keep it. Once I get my shop completed I should be...

MAN!!!!!That little red truck is tougher than woodpecker lips. 8) Got to have one.

"That's soma catch, that Catch-22" :shock:

Rick and other concerned folks: I would love to have the beast but I have too much going on this month. Miltary missions and vaccation. I will be up there Thursday thru Sunday working on my shop but I can take time out Sat. to assist. I know a wrecker guy (Larry's Towing) and he might let you...

I was speaking in context of driving it in it's present configuration. If the interior was modified to RV specs and the vehicle was tagged as an RV then no CDL would be needed (in Ala.). I saw a Freightliner at a carshow that had a bunkhouse on the back and he was operating it as a...

I don't think it is an expando van. Looks like it was built into a 20 foot shipping container. This would require a Class B CDL in Ala. since it has air brakes. I wonder how easily the body could be removed and a fifth wheel attached? It would be DA BOMB with a flatbed behind it to go pick...

For those of us who just have to be different I submit the ultimate Military Vehicle RV. :shock: With a little modification this beast would be a hit at any MV show. 8) It goes up for sale the 8th of this month at GL in Montgomey, AL. And get this folks, THERE ARE 3 OF THEM!!! :D It says...
