"Back in the day", ie., WWII, it was common practice for wreckers to be disguised as GS cargo trucks in convoys as they were high valued targets for straffing attacks. Bows and tilts (hoops and canvas) were carred for such occasions. Also they wouldn't run as 'tail end charlie' which is the...

Damn Jeff!! ... and I thought a Ward was big!! Hope you and John have a great time.

HA!!! Yes, UK ex-pat, been here since Aug 95.

Post Findlay '21 & M870A1:- Must have measured all 60+ on site, found the only one that was 1 1/4" (&1") with hex hole... Fortunately I have a load of crow bars kicking around - one was 3/4" hex so it got decapitated. (Good-older ones are octagonal) Got a pair of the 400mm deliniator plates...

Ditto Wheelspinner but I'm leaving central NY Thur, return late Sat/early Sun.

Anyone have a pair of 6TL batteries?

Can bring: 20 ton bottle jack [USA] (I have 2) - Bii for M916 ....... $75 Heaaaavy tow bar ...... $150 ARR Cadillac ISU 60/90 container shelf bracket clips - go in slotted track to hold shelves ...... $18/set of 4 * Transfer box lever extension - M809 series for easy splitting of gears...

I picked up one with my 'loaded' 1500 Ram work truck - towed it home (15 miles maybe) at no more than 45 on a divided 4 lane, no real hills. It did not like going over 45, started to misbehave so had to slow back down. Had no real maneuvering issues, but it aggressively took up any slack in the...

Apparently in Apr of 1919, British 'Whippet' tanks were touring upstate NY, drumming up support for Victory Liberty Loan bonds. Shame about the typo ... If anyone is interested, I can try better pics of the text.

What time will you be open for coffees!!

Is this a new show - or renaming of a previous one?

Wow - best deal $4.87 a piece, only sold in 20 pack......... $97.40. Not so bad if anyone would sell just a couple or a hand full. I think I'll just get the calipers out and run to the hardware store for some nylon blanking grommets.

Hi Dave - will be headed out there this year. Great to catch up. Will take two of your cots please!

and is there a replacement for the crumbly cap that provides access for the bolt! Just asking for a "friend" winky wink.

Fascinating and factual... Any reason why this is in the Mods and Hot rodding forum? I had always assumed that in-service mods were considered as good as "factory" with regards the history of military vehicles whereas this category was for 'after release', civilian mods.... I'd even go as...

Nice find there Jeff. Looks quite similar (but smaller) than the Ward one... Hope to see you in '21. ATHS...... Howard. (Sterling to the UK Chris's mate in NY)

Trying to get the old 60 Series Detroit fired up... following fuel lines as I'm not getting any (looks like it's the 'diesel head '- water fuel separator diaphragm/piston pump failure) BUT, there are fuel lines going through the "STE/ICE Differential Switch". It is on the side of the frame rail...

Not Bii, but are part of the operators instructions.. "stored in the front locker" or similar words to that effect. I guess chocs are not on the A1's Bii as they have spring brakes, also why is it only the 'O' has a pry bar!

OK C-B, time to fess up/catch up/update etc. I have found an A1 (that FuzzyT decided to sell). So, have been rereading threads etc. The deck board clips - what was your source for these? and did you ever look closer at the rear outriggers for fabn details? I could work from the hole, but...

Yeah - just fit a cable lifter and read the bridge height signs!
