    Rapco forest green paint?

    I can get you the paint recipe for Home Depot if you're interested in doing the Behr paint.

    Rapco forest green paint?

    Not RAPCO/Gillespie but this is Behr Forest Green. I opted for Behr because the RAPCO wasn't flat enough.

    Follow Up to Low Power Issues....Fuel Issue finally solved!!!! First off, Mark nailed it before I figured out what the deal was today. As posted earlier, I rebuilt the fuel pump, replaced the fuel filters, and used a pump to suck fuel through the pick up tube. The truck idled awesome and I...

    Op Urgent Fury Gear Throughout the past few months, I have been hitting flea markets and surplus stores for gear. Specifically 1983 and earlier ALICE based gear. Well, I seemed to have forgotten what I have and don't have. As a result, the carrier is full of gear:shock:. My name is Mike and I...

    11.00x18 Tire Chains Well, we can chalk this up as another impulse buy of sorts. Don't need them, don't ever see myself needing them. But as the phrase goes "Better to have and not need than to need and not have" resonated through my thoughts. I took the family on a drive to Portland, OR this...

    Battery..making it fit As stated previously, my wife was gracious enough to pickup a couple batteries at Costco. The two batteries she bought were the biggest ones they had at the time. I opted to go with a non-military battery because, quite frankly, I haven't had much luck with the 6tl...

    KY-57/HYP-57 and Battery Terminals Got a couple more deliveries today from the USPS. This was yet another unplanned purchase. I had no intention of buying the KY-57/HYP-57 but I made a mistake. You see I bought a set of KY-57 cables from a fellow SS maddawg308. I had the said cables sitting in...

    Hw-20-2 Well, just when I thought this project was winding down, another project idea popped up. I picked up this little NOS heater unit from Memphis Equip for $80 shipped. I'm gathering fittings and shutoff valves at the moment. Though it's a challenge keeping the cab warm without the doors...

    Helper Almost forgot to acknowledge my little helper. My little almost 2 year old son insisted on turning the wrench on the fuel pump. The little guy dragged his little tike plastic chair over to the kitchen to stand on. It was awesome to see this little guy has caught the bug;-) We finished up...

    Start Up after Fuel Pump Rebuild Well today was the day to verify if the fuel pump was the issue with the power loss with the Gama Goat's 353. I would have started her up a couple weeks ago, but the 8 year old batteries decided they were too tired. With my work schedule and family, I hadn't...

    Fuel Pump Rebuild Project Part 4 (Reassemble-Oil Seals) Got the DD Fuel Pump Rebuild kit today. Was a bit disappointed to find the seller forgot to enclose the fuel pump housing gasket. I setup up my wife's kitchen counter as the assembly work bench while I watched my kids. I used a spark...

    BII Truss Kit I forgot to post pics of the truss kit after I received it. Man, this kit is too nice looking to throw into one bag. Don't want to mess up the paint job. So, I'm going to put everything in three bags. Going to hang the document bag on the back of the passenger seat and have the...

    Fuel Leak on Return Line to Tank Yes sir, replacing everything including the gasket. I followed each fuel line and tightened the fittings that needed attention. I found only one problematic area so far. It was the fuel return line fitting to the fuel tank. There was a small wet spot around the...
