If it didn't rattle, it wouldn't be a deuce.

:ditto: That's what I'm going to do.

Hello from Ostrander, (yeah, I know you probably haven't heard of it, that's why I moved there) North of Dublin, in between Marysville and Delaware. Don't sell the car, getting more vehicles is always desirable. :D

Ya know I never even payed attention to those, I was busy trying to remember all the other cool ideas I was going to steal from you like those jerry can mounts on the rear mudflaps!! :-P

Is that a cinder block under the axle? You do know that's a no-no don't you? They're notorious for being unreliable as a jack stand. Use 6x6 cribbing or a regular jack stand to be safe.

Thanks guys, never was in a truck that used them. All the trucks in my old unit had the convoy lights mounted on the front of the cab. We didn't have gun mounts either, but we would open the passenger windshield all the way up and put an M-60 out the window over the hood during war games.:D

Now that the bed is off of the truck, I noticed that there's a couple of what look to be splice plates on the back of the cab on either side. They're bolted on, but there's holes that obivously have never had a bolt through them as the paint is not worn at all. Where these holes for...

A Vietnam truck would almost certainly have a canvas cargo cover, not the vinyl ones. I'm pretty sure they didn't have any 3 color ones unless it was a field expedient job. I may be wrong, but I don't recall seeing any pics showing that kind of cover. I have a 3 color cover that needs some...

I believe that would be a spring to keep your parking brake from dragging on the drum when released. Replacing should be pretty straighforward, loosen the bolts holding it on, replace the part, tighten down the bolts. The -24 manual that you can download off this site will have the part #...

Yep, any "plastic" rope colored black should do. It may be harder to find. But I have also seen it in a brownish color that looks like slightly weathered hemp or manila rope. That wouldn't be technically correct, but most people wouldn't realize it was plastic.

Fording depth aside, you should only ford where you KNOW the actual depth of the water. And even then, fast flowing water can still move your truck. If you hit a channel where the road has been carved away, you could be SERIOUSLY screwed. USE EXTREME CAUTION FORDING FLOOD WATERS!! It's not...

Yeah I know that, but I'm talking about them actually having to look throught the threads. :deadhorse: That would save me from having to skip past all of DH's beating posts. :razz:

Maybe the Mods should require new members to put the title into the search box for the first hundred posts before it can be posted.... That would save DH from having to beat on them, unless he just has a Function key that does it automatilcally....

I'd just get some of the finer abrasive pads (like they use for scrubbing teflon pans) and cut out pieces to fit. that should at least work temporarily. Another alternative is to go to a small engine shop and see if they have any air filters that you can trim to size.

I was thinking of using the thicker stall mats.

I was thinking of doing that myself. What did you use to cut it? What side did you put on top, the diamond plate side or the slotted one?

I believe this is what he's looking for; NSN 2930-00-752-1981 part# 7521981 shield, radiator, L.H. NSN 2930-00-752-1983 part# 7521983 shield, radiator, R.H. The part shown in the pic is not the correct part, that looks like it would go around a radiator shroud for the fan. The pieces listed...

I'm looking at replacing not cleaning.

I bumped this post, I'm in the same situation. My window is toast so I'm looking for a replacement. Anybody seen anyone selling rear windows? Any commercial windows out there that will fit? Thanks.

Pressure treated wood MIGHT last 30 years if faithfully maintained. 1x lumber is typically full of knots and has a tendancy to twist, bow and warp. You might be able to sort through a stack and find enough decent ones to put on, but there's still no guarantee they won't shrink and crack. The...
