I bought an extremely nice A3, but I need complete windshield, wipers, all the hardware to mount the windshield and top. I have a number of NOS aluminum bows for HUMMWV, that I can bring if anyone is interested.
All the wooden ones that I have seen are oak. I have a truck made in the mid 70's that has fiberglass and an A3 from the 90's that has oak. I suspect that at some point, when replacements were needed, fiberglass was used.
I understand that Interstate is using a different battery than the one it used to., like Optma that used to be a great battery, but is not any more. I have been using batteries from Batteries Plus with good results. Their 1150 cca battery is less than $80.00 and while I have had a couple that...
Do yourself a big favor and change all the rubber lines on the truck, particularly if it is an 800 series truck. The lines are probably 40 years old and can have tiny air leaks that can be hard to find but will make you tear out your hair.
Thanks to everyone for the info, thanks to Pigfoot who had the pump I needed. I am going to repair my old pump using Kenny"s excellent posts and photos. Knowing that someone else has successfully done a repair that several experienced diesel mechanics were afraid to tackle shows how valuable SS...
Recently recovered a nice m35a2, however it wouldn't start. We traced the trouble to the ip which has rust in it. The motor is a White 465 LDT. The pump is an American Bosch. The piston appears to be frozen in the bore. I have searched the threads for a similar post with no success. I have...
We have bought and moved about 15 trucks of various sizes (2.5----14 ton) in the past year from 8 GL locations. Some of them were in great condition, but the majority had problems that would have caused serious problems. The freight charged by a trucker is money well spent. If you have to call...
Ga will issue a title for a motor vehicle 1986 and later. Vehicles manufactured earlier transfer with a bill of sale. You may also y need an inspection by a LE officer to verify the vin. If you have a tag office that knows what they are doing, there should be no problem.
We have restored a number of vehicles with rusted tanks and I coat them all as a policy if they are rusted. Important !!! Use a quality coating, before coating you can clean the tank with a commercial etching solution or muratic acid as Rumplecat suggests, I have used a 50/50 acid/water mix, let...
After having restored a number of cars and trucks (40's ,50's, and 60's) I have found they all have some rust inside the tanks if they have been sitting for any length of time time. Soldering along with coating is the way to go. There are a number of quality coating available, this is not the...
If $60.00 is too much to deal with, wait till you pay for a couple gallons of brake fluid and shipping. This is not an inexpensive hobby. The LAST thing we need is the government getting any more involved than it already is. CHILL
Picked one up at Forest Park today, About 7 unsold trucks left there. I was told that any vehicle that is sold will not moved to any other location but will be picked up there. The fort is being closed however a part of the property is going to be a reserve base, the southern area around the new...
You don't necessarily need 4 batteries for the 818 at least in warm weather. I have two that start just fine with two 1100cca heavy truck batteries. Just make sure you hook them up in series like a duece.
