    Outbid by $10,000

    Tan? I didn't know upstate NY was turning into a desert :shock: ? I too think that its condition and service history was worth the price. Its always a challenge when deciding what is more important: Time or Money. Each situation is unique. Thats my Captain Obvious remark of the day.

    Looking M37

    There are way too many stories of "the wife won't let me" here on the forum. The female should understand that men have actual interests, hobbies, and dreams that tend to be productive for themselves and society. Man has Benjamin Franklin for inspiration. Woman has Oprah. :) Sure, we have...

    My M756 pipeline truck bed

    That is just too cool! What makes the bed so much heavier? The perimeter frame does look very beefy. It looks like it also has a greater number of crossmembers too. The Locust wood will probably see the next ice age. White Owl Surplus is selling a Palfinger crane with auger attachment for...

    M819 wrecker truck tractor question

    Hey Crane Truck & M1075, If someone wanted to employ a dedicated engine to run a crane and outriggers, how much HP and Hydraulic GPM would be required for cranes similar to the models you guys are using? Also who are the major manufacturers of these cranes. Thanks.

    Best rust solutions? Rustoleum, spray converter + paint?

    The best paint ever is MAGNET PAINT'S CHASSIS SAVER. It comes in Gloss Black, Satin Black, or Aluminum. It will turn to charcoal gray without a UV protection coat. Yes you can topcoat it. Its $80 a gallon and is a million times better than POR-15. Go on their site and request a sample in...

    Saying Good Bye

    My policy is to never sell anything and only buy things that would be practical as well as a luxury. That doesn't work out all the time though. Inanimate objects and material posessions always take precedent over human beings. Especially female interests. The only exception to that rule is...

    General Motors Defense projects

    Sorry in advance if this is off topic and sorry if I have offended any Oh Canadas but I didnt know Canada had a military of any kind. :D It's too bad our small forces were repelled there during the Revolution and War of 1812. It's also too bad that the British couldn't sucsessfully kick out...

    oil change

    I justed wanted to add to the existing results posted regarding oil pressure and how long it takes before the needle goes up. I haven't used my deuce for a week. Today I went home at lunch to hitch up my dump trailer so I thought it would be a good opputrunity to see how fast oil pressure...

    Long Haul from Bridgeport,CT to Portland, OR

    I am right across the Sound from Bport. I would do it in a second except my truck isn't in the best shape for a cross continent trip (front axle seals, boots, both sides.) I'm sorry that I am of no assistance. :(

    2007 a good year to get a 5 ton

    Thank you very much Armyman. Lakehurst is probably the closest auction location I'll ever see for a long time. I've been trying to talk my bro into a 5tonner. Any dumps? My Deuce has never been of the Island yet. I can't wait to flat tow over the GWB and Cross Bronx Expressway. Thats an...

    horn stuck in traffic

    Those early hemi valve covers that are stamped "Industrial" "Firepower" "Marine" "Red Ram" etc. are awesome. I have an Industrial and Marine set. They have additional bumps under the spark plug cover for adjustable rocker arm clearance.

    horn stuck in traffic

    In my region, large sirens (air and electric) are every where, not just at each fire department. They go off every day at noon and six. You don't need a wrist mounted chronometer. One day near me the local electrical utility company was changing poles and had lopped off the top of one and...

    EQUIPMENT NOISE LEVELS

    If you look in Jeg's or Summit they sell their own brand of sound deadening in wide rolls that are approx. 7/16" THK. They also sell Dynamat sheets that are much thinner and have an adhesive backing, but cost increases.

    EQUIPMENT NOISE LEVELS

    I always squish and shove ear plugs in my ears for all trips except if just around town. I fly with my friend so much that I finally bought a David Clark headset a year ago after having to put up with his hand-me-down headset that you would see in a B-17! The DC set is rated for 23db and is...

    Paint samples, decisions decisions

    parts truck M211 to the scrap yard

    Hi Mr. Warner Have you ever been to Menard's in Oxford. Some nice junk up there. I bought two 500ci caddies and some A-833 overdrive four speeds from them cheap. The only problem with them is communicating; more than one of the guys is deaf. My parent's friends moved up to Greene a few...
