    Stockton CA? Neat truck, OD with chrome and aluminum. What branch of service used it? I like the COTS trucks because they are much more civilized to drive and unique vehicles.

    surplus center distribution panel project

The military for example uses all white wires on a lot of equipment such as generators. The issues...

    M818 emergency air problem

    First check for a blockage them function test. Do not rely on the color, tag or location because things can get switched. Have you tried releasing the parking brake?

    Registering M931A2 semi tractor tomorrow -- 80,000 plates reasonable or overkill?

    Registering M931A2 semi tractor tomorrow -- 80,000 plates reasonable or overkil 7000 gallons if diesel weighs 50,050 lbs, if you combine that with the weight of the tractor and trailer it would be at least 80,000 lbs. Stopping it is not an issue if the brakes are properly adjusted.

    Any body use 5 tons commercially

    Check with your state to see if you will need a CDL and dot inspections. If you are off road most of the time if would probably be viable. If you are in road a lot then a civilian truck would be a lot better. Another thing to think about is if you only are using the truck daily.

    932 series wedge brake to "S" cam conversion

    You need to get at least new backing plates. Some of the commercial water trucks convert the rear brakes to s cam. I have been told that you can not do if to the front due to clearance issues without a lot of fabrication work,

    M105 will not pass inspection

    When a truck or trailer is registered commercially it has to meet certain requirements regardless of when it was built, this I believe is actually federal law If the state wants photos then just cover up the rust and paint it and get the historic plates.

    MEP-002A hookup through subpanel

    That is neat. Where do you find them? The only down side is that if someone uses the spare key you could have problems.
