    New From Camp Pendleton Area

    I did not know that they had docents. The portion if the museum that is open daily is just a fraction if what they have. There are a lot more vehicles in the other half of the building and they gave a storage yard and shop around the corner. Do you know why they moved the armor into a fenced area?

    M1076 behind a deuce tractor?

    The front steering axle appears to be mounted on a turntable. I believe they unbolt. You would need to add landing gear and a king pin

    Refrigerated Container with Trailer

    The container is sitting on a mil van chassis. I have one of the chassis. They are neat. You can connect two together and slide the axle back to the rear and use if to carry a 40 foot container. I have a PDF of the chassis manual.

    Barstow Pickup

    They just point out your trailer and it is up to you to move and load it. We were glad we brought the trailer with the long winch cable because we could not get the trailer that close and did not want to drop the trailer and pull the m101a3 out

    Know of any Pintle Accidents Needing Safety Chains?

    I can happen and is usually a result of fatigued bolts or forgetting to lock it closed. On some commercial truck there is a cable running down the drawbar because the drawbars can fail.

    Fuel filler cap lock?

    Since each of my tanks have three drain plugs in them I do not think a locking cap would be much use

    Which is the better power plant?

    The shift points for the transmission is programmable by an Allison service station. You have to remove the pan to adjust them.

    Does GL allow minor work on trucks at Barstow or Nellis.

    The problem with the non running trucks is that the issue could be minor such as dead batteries or it could have had all of the fluids drained a decade ago. Personally I have them towed to the shop so that they can be inspected and serviced.
