Pics of current setup as promised. There are no permanent modifications required. I actually forgot to tighten the strap one time and drove about 25 miles without it moving. I just leave the feet attached, but if you're worried about light fingers, you could of course remove them. It may...

I tried : 1) sliding it under the bed above the rear tool box - kept pinching fingers when sliding the legs in or out, 2) on top of both tool boxes with wood riser to keep it level -traveled OK, but took a lot of strapping to secure it, and rough on my back reaching under the bed, 3) Then...

Congratulations on a safe recovery. That's a clean looking truck!

Supporting the T can't hurt in the event that something hits the piping or some numbnut steps on it to get on top of the tank. However, the weight of the pump may make the T gradually tighten on the tank valve piping, pushing the filters down. If you have to lift the pump back up, the T will...

In that case, I'll show up on Thurs and leave Sunday. It's really hard to leave Tim and Pam's place.

My 1970 Kaiser Jeep XM818 was my first 5-ton, bought from the MSNG at Camp Shelby, MS thru GL in June/July '09 with 147 mi/26 hrs. It now has around 4869 miles. While returning from Ft. Polk while recovering the M871 trailer 3 months later, the engine dropped a valve in the #3 cylinder. Nine...

Welcome from the damp South.

Looks good. I'd just wedge a piece of wood under the pump to support the weight of the piping and pump.

That weekend looks good to me, tho' 4/23 is Thursday. Is the rally Thurs/Fri/Sat 4/23-25, or Fri/Sat/Sun 4/24-26?

Welcome!

Good Job, Tim !![thumbzup] :beer:

Since the trucks from Camp Shelby are no longer stored in a secure lot, running out of fuel sounds very fishy. I've bought a bunch of trucks out of that yard on the base, and all had fuel in both tanks, and at least one tank would usually have over 1/2 a tank. I'd be very curious to see if the...

If you look close at the photos of your trailer, you'll see the blue "service" glad hand is broken off (a lot of these trailers have one broken off due to lazy drivers), meaning the trailer will have no brakes. It can be towed, but not safely until the glad hand is repaired. Otherwise, it...

I've narrowed it down to the tractor, but the gun truck stories choke me up and the tracks make me drool. Can I buy extra votes?

I think GP is hauling some of the Camp Shelby SMS rebuild yard trucks to the Jeff Martin auction yard (used to be Martin & Martin) south of Camp Shelby. I don't know if that will continue with the trucks coming out of current service or not. http://jeffmartinauctioneers.com/

After being broke down IN the MIDDLE of road at night, I resolved to get a reflective vest. The triangles worked, but I would have needed 6-8 flares if I only had them, both would be nice to have. Another needed item is a big bright flashlight (not a small pocket light) to direct traffic until...

GL has been known to add 24 hrs to the auction 5 minutes AFTER the auction has ended.

I don't have any real purddy ones, rare ones or pimped out ones, but some of my MVs earn their keep. Here is my XM818 and M871 in their working clothes.

Welcome! You know we like pics, don't you?:D

Glad you had a great time, really sorry I missed it.
