    EFS Surplus yard In Grantsville, Utah, 20 minutes from Jack Tomlins old yard..

    I made a whirl wind trip down to Grantsville yesterday (1250 miles - 3 major stops - 25 hours) for some Goat tires and met up will Alan at his EFS. Another great person reinforcing a great hobby. I really wish I had done it 2 years ago when I first saw this thread. And in the true form as...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Mark, Do you have more pictures of your tailgate? Both of mine have a sheet of plywood screwed to the inside. Yours looks a lot different. Maybe an original production. Do you have an early VIN / Serial# on that goat? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

    M932A2 and Mk-48 Cab conversion

    Great build Nick02. How much legroom in the cab? If you don't mind a tall guy asking. 99Nouns -Split Die Thread Chaser by Murray Tools, or any other thread chasing die for that matter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4dErEGTAos

    Gama gama hey!

    Thanks for the offer. But I have already built a set of more modern set of racks (fiberglass slats & 2.75" aluminum u-channel) and my rig came with a front frame. So I am all set. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Is the dash lit with the standard configuration , or did you supplement with LEDs? That is a dash, that even I could see well enough to drive by. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

    Ground hopping my LDS - last questions - starter

    OK here is a pic to help. Again, if you have to remove the bolts holding on the starter, and lay the starter and solenoid on the ground, you can verify that the Bendix is popping forward, and the starter is spinning. If you use a set of jumper cables hooked to the batteries, and put +24 to...

    Windshield washer container replacement ideas

    This one comes with a holder you can mount and will keep your windshield washer fluid warm in the winter. I saw someone use one as a antifreeze over flow bottle on a jeep rat rod.

    Wet sanding/clear CARC paint

    To get CARC shiny rub down surface with diesel or clean motor oil. But don't drive on dusty road afterwards. Could probably spray it down with Silicone lubricant (test on a hard to see spot ) CARC has texture, so it is naturally dull/drab.

    Mating transmission to engine - rant

    Maybe get some all-thread sections a bit longer than the spline. Screw them into the holes for mating the trans to the engine. slide the trans over them. This will support the weight of the trans on the engine. Place the strap from the hoist/crane around the back of the trans, but not on the...

    Ground hopping my LDS - last questions - starter

    Yep that is the way. Ground to the engine block or the case of the starter motor. If worried you could always unbolt the starter from the engine, and test your wiring with the starter laying on the on the ground. Being held down by your foot, or a cinder-block. But usual way is to place the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Simp5782, I am going to borrow your ideas for the spare tank. I like the return line cross-over from the new tank plumbing idea. To dissipate the worry of the 2nd tank pumping to the engine maybe use a check valve coming from engine to #1 tank...

    Goat Project

    The transmission is a standard GM SM-420. The remote shift tower is the part that is unique and more important to try and salvage. If you do not know already, there is a stickie at the top of the Gama Goat Forum that has historic & new part info from the now Defunct Gama Goat website. Good...
