Just wait, they'll start putting an expiration date on your birth certificate. The only thing good about the state of Kalifornia is....dang, can't think of anything. All the foks that had money and could leave, did. They're currently screwing up the states of Oregon, Washington and Colorado...
belive me when I say, the ladies that were drawn on the bombers were drop dead gorgeous. And also believe me whn I say, the deuce pin up thread will have a definite challenge to "creativity" should i post. Sorry for being a bit hesitant on posting the photos. Some folks get real excited if...
Hi
I'm posting this thread to gather your opinion on posting pictures of B-29 nose art obtained from a deceased Soldiers effects. Some of the pictures can be quite racy as was the tradition at the time. Only those that are properly clothed (enough so your imagination has to fill in the details)...
What was the question in the first place? Dang, now i got to go back to the begining to see if i can give a real answer. I'll get on it as soon as I get back from a MV retrieval mission. And jets1959 is 100% correct, never throw any hardware away. you'll need it, someday.:popcorn:
Plebney switch is used to initiate the collection of rotor wash and flight line. Since both items are difficult to obtain, specialized materials are called for. The plebney switch starts up the A S H receiver, which in turn begins previously mentioned processes. The A S H receiver is followed up...
Interesting place to put the ammo can. Does your truck have the mount on that location? Mine has a pad(?) or mount or something or other. I greatly dislike to previous location of the fire extinguisher (under the seat) so I mounted it there. Sorry, I'll post a pic later on. Now if there's a...
Roger that CARNAC. I've been the data base controller for some projects and the data is only as good as the people who contributed into it. I like tough projects and this one's got me challenged. Using the current slang, I don't want you to think I'm "dis'ing" your work, which is priceless...
OK, thank you for those picks. I'd love to have that crane though..oh well. Still doesn't answer the question on where it came from. I'm coming up blank for now. I still think there is an answer. More than one truck was bought on that contract. Two of mine were also part of the contract...
Speedo and odo quit because normally the speedo cable dries out (must be greased regularly) and shear off somewhere between the dash and the tranny. Instead of trying to get the cable off the back of the dash; you almost have to pull the drivers seat to get to it, disconnect it at the tranny...
Went to next town over to get a new ladder for the M35s. Contrary to any belkief, M35 vs M109 ladder equals flat ladder and didn't even know i did it.:oops: Replacement ladder was solid steel and weighed a ton. Couldn't lift it. It was sitting real near a CUCV tailgate ladder, same price...
Once you get in there have a copy of the page out of the parts manual as well as the section of the TM covering the removal and replacement of the parts. That way when you go to put it back together, you'll have the knowledge in front of you. I will state that it is almost impossible to put it...
Pictures 8 and 14 have bright red spots. Thats Fire Truck color. I can't read the serial number so I can't guess on it's info. The Air Force did have M-44 chasis turned into fire trucks. Since the bed is a new addition, do you know what was on the back before? Data platesays it was a drop...
Pull the fan out of the heater shroud. Same thing happened to the wifes car. The fan is either internally seized and shorted or something is blocking it from turning. Either way, too much juice is getting drawn and you'll never get a fuse to hold. Also, I completely removed the entire guts...
Corey, the stock number is in the old style. All NSN's now have either 00 or 01 after the first four numbers (2320 in this case). The contract was let in 1970. Your trucks contract was the first one let that year. Is there the letter C anywhere in the contract number? The identification...
Corey
There is a slight chance, if all you want is year, of finding the info. On a majority of military equipment is a contract number. Within the contract number is a two digit number for the year. Here is an example contract number: DLA700-86-M-E439. The DLA stands for Defense Logistics...
