I have a great condition green canvas cargo cover and end curtains. Anyone got a vinyl one they wanna trade for? I'll even throw in a winter front with all the litle clips and springs.
Yes, get with Polverone...megasticker.com or leftcoastdesign. Look on e-bay, he sells them as well as most of the other decals for the trucks there.
Here's a link to his items,

Yes there is. You can probably get the wires off with a 12pt crowsfoot, but the hex on the plug is kinda far down past the top. Maybe a chrome Craftsman socket will be deep enough. Don't know who would have one. Here's one on e-bay. It looks like the one we use at the museum...except ours is old...
Most of my stuff is loaded, Just gotta do tires, Jakes 450 and grub and i'm outa here mid morning on Fri. Hole is there and all set up and most likely keeping the blue mountains company...or are they keeping HIM company?? Yellowbronc had a flat about 100 miles out but is back on the road and...
I have seen the results of reclaimed MO. UPS was in the habit of centerfuging their WMO. They swore it was as good as newly refined stuff. They would fuge it, add an additive package and re use the stuff. They wiped cams out within days. I remember putting a truck back out on the road on friday...
There might be length issues, like when a 6B is stuffed into a GM product like the CUCV. You might need to use electric fans. To clear the axle, the pan needs to be a front or rear sump or the engine will sit too high. Also, a generator os made to run at a constant RPM, 1800 or 3600 depending on...
Well, if you look closely, you'll see that all of the trucks in the pic are REAL trucks...the funky colored "toy" in the middle was there to bring something, I forget what, we HAD to kick him out after what we needed was offloaded. I guess we can make an exception and let your "toy" in with us...
Still persuing the obsolete parts guys, but it doesn't look too promising. There is another place, S&R sales. I think they are in In. I'll do some more digging tomorrow
NHC 250 vs NT400, nope, different. I'm tellin ya, the innards for the older engines are getting as rare as hens teeth. We, the people in the hobby, NEED to keep these parts to help each other and keep the hobby alive. Heads, pumps...but the people that know thes are going away too...
Just a heads up for all the people out there that have the NHC. After a mess of research trying to find parts for Wreckerman, I have run into some good and bad news.
Good news is that from Cummins, cylinder kits are still made and available at around $300.00 for the piston, liner, liner packing...
S, STD or no markings usually denote standard pistons. Make sure you hone the cylinders with a bar hone to deglaze and put a good x-hatch back in them. If you don't, you'll ahve built a large oil pump.
That STARTED life as an M114. M113 as it's varients have 5 road wheels and the track is different. Also, the 113 has the engine in the very front of the carrier. Sad, just sad :cry:
I have some aluminum housed lights..they are "normal" M series looking lights, just aluminum and not plastic. The BO side are all LED and the regular lights, stop, run, turn, are incandesant. Just thought it was a good thing!
