Ha, bring that kit out west and you're looking at 1200-1800...no joke. As with everything military, everything costs more over here:?

seems most rebuilds I have seen from Tooele are Continentals. The "newest" batch of M44A2's all had the Hercules in them. All my '80's era trucks (original, not rebuilds) all have the Hercules MF in them. My '68 A2 (1990 Tooele Rebuild) has a rebuilt Continental.

A fellow SS by the name odnorth (Rob) did his truck in the Behr 383 Green some 3 years ago. The truck still looks outstanding!

When I painted parts here and there, the finish is flat. In fact I found it was more flat than Gillespie. After 6 months it was just as flat as CARC. 14 months later it's still looks great. Still matches CARC and really no fading that I've seen. Should mention these painted parts are stored...

Tony it appears ANY 5 ton MV requires a Class B CDL (M814, M813, M818 etc). From many conversations with my friends with the WSP, ANYTHING with a Gross Vehicle Weight over 26,001 requires a CDL. I've called the State Dept of Licensing about buyin a M813 or M818. They said it is classified...

That's the biggest thing holding me up on a 5 ton (CDL). Last year they changed the rules and now require schooling for a CDL. They also said it was OK to train on the job with a company that drives. Looked into the class locally and it's a one month class minimum. Someday I'll get that CDL...

You're truely welcomed[thumbzup] Truck looks OUTSTANDING my friend!

I've also noticed there are variations of the bed itself. My latest one has 4 extra supporting ribs for the side walls.

Chalking this one up for the project list! However I'm going to run a separate vent time for each axle w/a shorter run.

Good info, thanks for sharing!!

Thanks guys! I finally sourced some BNC connectors for the RG-213's that a great SS named AN/ARC186 provided. Thanks again Dan!! The spaghetti USGI coax cables were a bit too flimpsy and thin for my liking. I figured with some of the runs I have, I'd loose some signal had I stayed with the thin...

Wow ACBMWM# you've got some serious hardware! Awesome!

with the recent blow outs, definately looks like cast

Uh Scott, a purple camera in the deuce....Dude! Nah, hope you're OK. Looks like you fell an extra few inches with those super singles.

Hmm, never thought about this concept. It's usually the question of how to replace a LDT not what to use an LDT in place of. Definately going to keep my eyes on this thread.

The M109A2'a I've seen are the LD-465's w/out turbos.

LOL, lets get working on that thing Scott

Just curious, was there any issues in getting her fired up initially? Just wondering if the issue was present on start up and just progressed as the truck was driven. Was it a smooth start up or did she struggle to fire up?

Just an idea I had. Since there appears to be some issues with using the STEELSOLDIERS name, why not just use the singular form of STEELSOLDIER? Collectively on this website we are in the plural form however individually you're a steelsoldier (singular)...just an idea.

Just did a search and it looks like you can have upto 8'6" wide w/out a permit.
