What oil are you going to use in the airpak? Some people suggest hydraulic jack oil and some say air tool oil.
I ended up using the hydraulic jack oil,l but would like to see what your thoughts were.
Can you give us any specifics on where this pin is located? Might solve the issue on one of mine. It shifted fine 30 years ago but sat for 21 years before being used again. Sat another 6 years after that and I hope to get some work done on her as soon as I get her to the house. That will make 3...
This has not gone as easily as I had hoped. After removing the bolts the TM said, and attempting to pry the panel out and hammer down, I found out that at some point in this trucks life, someone decided to tack weld these panels together. Not the normal military spot welds. I sure wish I had...
I have started removing things to get the rusted panel out but have a few questions since I am not understanding what the TM is saying to remove. It says to remove the window frame.

Story with it is it was purchased from the local...
I talked to Memphis the other day and seems they have what we need for a good price. They have a lot of things not listed on their website.
The roof rail weatherstripping is sold in 5 ft rolls and the price is currently about $1.87 a foot. The door weatherstripping is also sold in 5 ft rolls...
The samples from Steele came in today. Here are the pics.
The door weatherstrip is thicker but a little more narrow than the original.
The roof rail weatherstrip does not fit as tightly as the original stuff, but may be as close as we can get. It would have to be glued in place.
I'm going...
