    003A Just Chugging Down

    Those units seem so trusty and reliable in the prevailing conditions,. I have had an Onan 6,5 for some 12 years, and have only had to thankfully put 7 hours on it.

    new member looking for info on white scout cars the M3A1s and G-067s

    Welcome to the site and hobby. The white scout cars are really nice truck to own, And have that great running and pulling side valve six. Better than the overhead valve types in my experience. And maintenance is quite straight forward too.
