IF the problem is it will run on starting fluid, but not liquid from the tank - let us know, this is a common - and often easily solved problem. Regards, David Doyle

I am thinking that the 400 hz exapando van may have been the Ford 8x8 expansible van used as battery control for the Pershing missile system.....will add this to the things to refresh my memory about. DD

and how is it getting silicone?

IIRC some, but not all, of the expansible vans are set up for 400 HZ. David (I wish I was as good as I once was) Doyle

RE: Weasel Sorry, gave you bum lead - its Liberty Restorations - not Victory - and they are still going strong. They demod reproduction track a couple of weeks ago in Spooner. Regards, David

I had dinner with Jon in Wisconsin a month or so ago - he is as healthy as the proverbial horse - or in his case, mule would be more appropriate! DD

Naturally I got rid of my parts truck a couple months ago - since I'm a couple hours from Tupelo. Give Memphis Equipment a call - that should get you some price ideas. DD

These steering kits have been discontinued by the mfr - so pices aren't likely to go down. Very sorry for your loss. Sincerely, David

Clinto - JD's is a V18A/MTQ - the companion polesetter truck. This is a V17A/MTQ: HTH, David Pix of these trucks in service are scarce too. I like this one - note the non-regulation positioning of the bridge weight classification disk on the door.

Probably - is Jon Emery on this site, IIRC he used to work for them. Regards, David Doyle

This makes 4-5 survivors that I am aware of - one that I own, one I am trying to buy, one in Wisconsin, and I seem to remember seeing photos of one in Europe. And this is with my somewhat agressive looking for them. So, yep, they are rare - but they don't seem to be valuable. The one I own...

Scott, If you are in NJ and are not in a hurry for paint, then wait until the April (or is it May) Aberdeen show - lots of suppliers of paint there, and no hazmat charges. Rapco, AlfaHeaven, Baxter, Memphis, all pretty much have their hands tied by the hazardous materials fees of transporters...

Re: RE: Can anyone help me with the history of my 1966 M109A

It is FS595B 34094 - a good paint store should be able to match it from that. Info from my Standard Catalog of US Military Vehicles, 2nd Edition - shameless plug!!! HTH, David

And you fellows with AM Generals think you have licensing and titling issues........

RE: ring mount Q How about using a needle gun to clean the exposed surfaces before painting, rather than blasting? My .02, David Doyle

Be aware that sending units and gauges must be matched. Two ranges were used on these trucks, if missmatched you can be reading half the actual oil pressure (or twice the actual oil pressure). The range is stamped on the sending unit, and of course is legible on the face of the gauge. Hope...

Redneck approach - return the 1300 light bar and put money back in fire company treasury. Install twin-beacon convoy light kit. Replace amber globes with color of your choice (the convoy beacons are a standard product). This will remove that portion of the load from the system, and save a...

That would be a LARC LX - sometimes known as a BARC (Barge amphibious resupply cargo) - the biggest of the LARC family (so big, it can't really be appreciated until you get close. Also built were LARC XV and the most common, the LARC V. IMHO, the LARC LX was obsoleted because it wasn't new and...

Alright guys - we are now badly trailing the Jeep guys - please take a look at the poll at http://www.militaryvehiclesmagazine.com and vote for your favorite type of OD iron. I'd like to write more articles on bigger trucks - but need your help making this happen. Thanks for your help...
