Original stuff is going to be expensive. The BEHR house paint (and there are several threads on that subject) can be mixed to that color (34151) and costs about $29 a gallon, plus any tax, but without a shipping charge.
Don't know about RPM's but I remember Bill Strozier drove one up from Charleston to Ft. Jackson on a monthly basis back in the early 1980's, and he was keeping up with traffic (65 MPH speed limit).
Found this > http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/dainlegr12.html but it says they are temporarily out of stock. However the blue, red and amber ones are in-stock!
It's not for this particular application, but we found out that the plastic clutch alignment 'tool' for my 03 RAM 2500 manual transmission also fits the deuce clutch plate. Many times the nose will just start into the pilot bearing before the gears catch it - so the trick is to be able to move...
A good place to search for what trailers looked like in the 1930's is old National Geographic Magazines (from that time period). Many of the models were basaically unchanged through the 1950's except on some trim items. The basic structure would not have changed much, with the interior layout...
Just remember Fasttrack is not a true shipping company, they prep the GL lot and turn it over to an LTL carrier for delivery. And, they are a franchise. They do not own LTL rolling stock. They are just another set of hands between you and your auction wins, and every set of hands must be greased.
An M-36 will give you five feet more room (17 vs 12), so cutting and splicing in the box is a bit more complex, as it probably needs to be done in two places. But you get five more feet of length, and thus almost another 40 square feet of space to add to the original 96. Almost a 50 percent...
Since many of the dataplates are a raised inscription type, the simplest paint removers should work, but test in a small area.
Mark, are you looking at this site on a computer or a phone/tablet? You need to be on a 'regular' computer that has the Adobe Acrobat reader installed and linked to...
Most military radios that are not more expensive than the vehicle itself operate in the 30-75 Mhz range, the only amateur band available is the 6 meter (51 Mhz) band. RT-524's and similar radios are available, completely tested for about $400, but you will not have many people to talk to...
It will come off, and the sooner the better! We just had an experience with an MEP 802A, where the fuel drain is. It broke and was pouring fuel out the bottom. Wound up tearing the old filter completely apart to get it to turn, but it finally did. We found it has a bunch of crossreferenced...
