I was instructed the gear required for going up a hill is the gear recommended to use for going down the hill. If you need third to go up, then use third coming down. Downshifting was necessary to reserve the brakes from overheating. Downshifting while it is not an art, it must be applied...

I was always taught to do this in a "regular" vehicle also. What do we do?

FINALLY!!!! received my Florida Antique License Plate today (27 July, 2013) for my 65' M109A. I was forewarned that the state was somewhat puzzled on how these trucks were to be tagged. I purchased the truck late April 2013, registered and first payment to the state early May. Got notice from...

Welcome from Tampa Bay.....

I would flush with diesel, refill with lube, put 50 miles on the rig and then pull a quick sample.

If stopped and they find 'free fuel' you are subjected to both state and federal fines. IRS starts at $1 per gallon or $1,000 which ever is greater (I am sure that is per tank).

Found this for Florida: A former military vehicle that is used only in exhibitions, parades, or public display is exempt from the requirement to display a license plate or registration insignia if the exemption is necessary to maintain the vehicle’s accurate military markings. However, the...

How much fuel in the tank?

We clean tanks daily; boats, farm, construction, military, etc. Gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, any of the fuels and this is what keeps us busy, dirty fuel tanks. In this case a good fuel filter with proper care could have save the original tank from being as it is now. Oh well, "to each his own"...

It's a done deal, I have the title in hand.

For the BOOST, go propane.

The "Smell is getting Stronger", PO accepted my offer on the 1965 M109A Shop Van... sorry about the photos.

Looking for insurance, for coverage on a 65' M109A Shop Van. Contacted Gulfway today and they do not insure commercial vehicles. Intent is to make truck ready to be used 'ocassionally' for work. What have others done in similar situations? Thanks for stopping by.
