To mark the 10th Anniversary of September 11th, several pastors in the area have organized a day of Prayer and Remembrance for Patriot Day. What first started as just a day to get local churches together for prayer, has turned into a County-wide event. They're expected to have the Washington...
September 11th Preparations

Welcome aboard Matt, I say buy both;-) Then you can really do a side by side comparison;-) Get an A3 for the Mrs. with the automatic and Air-O-Matic steering.
Hey derf it's that valve attached to the end of the rubber line shown in pic 3 and 4 that comes up near the side of the fuel tank. From the valve it goes to the "T" and heads off in the two different directions. I've messed with it while idling and it doesn't seem to affect the idle.
I've got one as well. Still trying to figure out what that valve is right above the fuel tank. From the valve it goes to the area of the cylinder head. I was lucky to have gotten the service records for it. Unfortunately it didn't come with a manual and only had 24 hours on it.
Sorry I don't but if you can find a pic of the color you're after they can match it exactly! Pretty impressive machine they have. Have you seen the Gillespie 24087 before? It's more brownish compared to the other 24087's made by other companies

Well, this project has been on the to do list for a better part of 2-3 years. When I got this truck she only had about 5k miles on her since she rolled out of Tooele Army Depot back in 1990. Over the past decade, she only logged 70 something miles....no joke. She has pretty...
Changed out my hoses and belts on the '68. I also decided to add another drain hole to the radiator in the process:-x. My Labor Day project is soldering:p. Oh well, I look at it as another experience point under my belt.
That's one thing on the truck I'm more worried about more than anything. I never ever take the deuce's brakes for granted. It amazes me how guys can take their trucks out without parking brakes (not too effective but works to slow down), never check their brake fluid levels, and haven't so much...
