    M104 landing leg

    Guys, I stumbled onto a M104 trailer a little while ago that I am collecting parts for (It needs a bunch of work)... Trailer is the 1.5 ton unit with a pair of tailgates (one in the front of the bed as well as one in the rear) with 1100x20 tires for use behind the older 2.5 ton trucks with...

    Drop side Vs .....uhh Non-Dropside?

    The bows on my non-dropside truck are all bolted together and cannot be taken apart by hand, the ones on my dropside have clips on the corners that allow me to seperate the upright/corner combination from the horizontal pieces by hand for storrage... Not sure if this is a...

    VIC-1 intercom

    You know, I'd really like to have a parts list for what Bjorn has got installed in his truck (just for the VIC-I setup)... You know, just a list of all the numbers off the boxes and cables so that when I'm at swap meets and such I can pick up the parts if I see them and then oneday, perhaps...

    Aberdeen 2005 revisited

    Yep, that's me alright rolling along with the M101A1 behind the Cummins M37... I had a big breakfast and stayed in front of the french fry exhaust last year... This year I'm running biodiesel in my stuff, so it may be hard on the guys running behind Bjorn and myself... If I take the M37...

    Aberdeen 2005 revisited

    We'll be doing the convoy again so I hope that everyone that joined us in 2005 plans to do so again in 2006.... Same bassic routes and timing as in the past unless somebody has any better ideas...

    Where's Smithfield NC?

    Now that you have passed by, we are back to having warm weather (for a month or so...), then we'll have just enough cold weather to kill off some bugs (I hope)... Know what you mean about scheduling... I've got stuff in the yard that I've got to work on and deliver to a couple of buddies...

    Longhunter, anyone....HELP!

    http://www.military-media.com/ has a cd with all the 3/4 ton manuals on for $19.95 with modest shipping. I really like it a lot as you can print out the pages you need for reference, mark them up, get them greasy and still have clean copies the next time you need them (as long as you keep the...

    Where's Smithfield NC?

    You came that close to me (Smithfield is about thirty miles from the house) and didn't let me know!! What a crime... I could have run down to the I95/US70 junction and waved at you (or tossed you a snack...).

    Brakes?

    1980 Chevy C30 1 ton, CarQuest part number is 20-1584, the Bendix part number is 1584. Got mine at the local NAPA.... This master cylinder does not have residual pressure check valves built into it. This makes it perfect for 4 wheel disc brakes which do not require residual pressure. If you...

    Brakes?

    Remove the existing MC, drill two small mouting holes (for the bolts that hold the new MC in place) on each side of the hole in the bracket where the existing MC is mounted, drill a pair of larger holes in the frame rail for the outlet lines on the new MC to pass. Cut the existing front brake...

    Brakes?

    I've got a good MC that I pulled from my truck when I went with a dual circuit unit from a Chevy (forgot the actual application, but it is the one that Ray Suiter plugs on his website along with the disc brake setup that he fabricates and I have installed, Charles Talbert at M-Series Rebuild...

    Maintainance.

    I have a fondness for Castrol's Agri-Max 15w40... Cost about a buck less a gallon than the Rotella at my local Agri Supply, exceeds the same slew of performance specifications (as does thier on-highway 15w40 sold at the heavy truck shop down the street), but has an additive package designed...

    Spacer for sugar scoop antenna mount

    Spacer for Sugar Scoop Longhunter: Thanks for the compliment. The link to my site is actually www.garbee.net/~cabell if you omit the /~cabell from the URL, you get my brother's homepage (he is hosting my site...) and I don't think that he has gotten around to putting a link on his page that...

    Spacer for sugar scoop antenna mount

    Thanks for the compliments on the site... I've just tried to document what I've done to my trucks so that I don't have to keep repeating myself all the time when I try to answer someone's questions. I've got a bunch of material to add to it, but we've rearranged the computers at work and my...

    Spacer for sugar scoop antenna mount

    The one on Ebay is for the offset bracket for use when mounting to the side of the cab, he was asking about the one for mounting to the side of the bed. They are different...

    Spacer for sugar scoop antenna mount

    I don't have any of the SC-C-189025 standoff brackets used between a scoop mount and the bed side of a M37 or M35 when mounting the MX6707 antenna any more, but I do have a dimensioned drawing of one on my website in case you'd like to fabricate one... The bracket is fabricated out of 8 gauge...

    Replay on wiper numbers

    Windshield Wipers! The wiper motor and arms from a M35 will bolt right into the holes on the M37 window frame (as we have said, the frames are the same). You could use the existing vacume line for the air supply (blowing instead of sucking) but you would have to add one of the M35 (or...
