Roger that. And (Eastern Surplus have been a 'mainstay' on the site forever!).

It would be SO nice (and more than a little helpful) If people needing help (and your good self) would put a FULL description of components they want trouble shooting. (just for the sake of a few letters(and 'all' the time that takes)). (It is actually a rule of posting actually). Ok, to help...

That brass cup is supposed to 'short' the top connector to earth. (On that steering wheel nut). The spring holds the top 'connector', AND the brass cup OFF the nut. Try cleaning it (the nut) thoroughly to make a good contact..

When I bypassed my fuel density compensator, I replaced ALL the fuel lines with new. Using high pressure rubber lines, with NO couplings and connections. thus eliminating future leaks. The old lines had just too many couplings joints and connectors 'mid stream'.

I find the easiest way is to post on utube, then simply copy the U.R.L there. then do a post on the steelsoldiers site and paste that U.R.L.. Thus, https://youtu.be/uSd_Qgx7-Vo Then. VOTE for this hard worked over 8 years Restoration. (Please..).

Or, if you tip a little fuel down the 'hatch' and stand clear, no risk, and it should start and run just for a short while.

Welcome to the site and the hobby. Post up a picture (or 2 or..3). Of your new truck. There are a few members from your country. You must arrange to come to the "War and Peace" show this year, in convoy with other owners from the E.U. P.M. me if you wish, for 'convoy contacts'.

Tentatively 'congratulating' you on your new acquisition. Everything can be fixed. Maybe yours won't need too much. Good luck with it. Keep us posted.

I too am curious as to how you 'thinned' that cap to spray it on the tires. Seriously though, is it tire paint? or what do you use. We jet wash. scrub, then apply back to black or armor all. That Works fine.

When those points are not serviced (which most are not) You may hear quite a 'loud' clunk, (when backing up and turning (likewise forward also), at which some inexperienced drivers 'take fright', and jump out to check the 'What the heck?', noise!.

That (for me anywaze) is just one of those trucks that give a lump to the throat when folk stop look and wave at as it goes by. We just looked in the back..And, Wow, ropes, ammo boxes, stretchers, canvass 1/2 doors, canvass full? doors,and more stuff we will dig into tomorrow.

They do say you only get what you pay for. Yet sometimes cheap sources of things work out fine. I have had unbranded huge cheap battery's on my wrecker for 4 years. They Have never failed to start it no matter the length of standing. Last year more of the same went on 3 more trucks. Up to now...

" Ha! But"..those who know me know I definitely will. After..THIS ONE!.......Happy (ongoing days). The truck drive absolutely fine, good steering, good transmission, good brakes. Just a real nice all round vehicle. And it is a tipper as well. It has 'presence', it wholly represents an...

Those that 'know me'..also know (that) finally, I am cutting down on the collection.

So, the cadets removed the gearbox, clutch, and flywheel (on a deuce 2 1/2 ton m35a2 to change the rear crankshaft oil seal. Trying to re fit the flywheel IMPOSSIBLE!. it appears there is no support (flange) or Dowels to locate positively the flywheel, and they can NOT find a position where all...

Well, it seems some dreams (hopes and wishes) do come true. Truly a great find. (offered).

Welcome to the site, hobby, friendships, and events to come. Nice clean looking truck.
