Standard CARC green is known as '383'.

Germans were the first with the Jerry Can design from what I understand, then everyone else got in the act. Thus, your second can might not be British!

Very busy man!

I've got a 'direct from china' dashcam in my car that I can easily move to the deuce. Contemplating getting several more so each truck can have it's own.

Your paint is not dry yet. Probably should have done the coats about a week apart, instead of a day. Think about it - you put the first coat on and the surface dried but it's still wet inside, then you added another coat, which did the same thing, and again. So you have three or four coats of...

mdmorgan has relocated to Tennessee.

Some DRMO locations primarily do scrap because of the DLA rules and regulations. So almost everything coming out of them goes in scrap piles, much of it on longer term contracts. And it varies - I've seen stuff in scrap at one location that was put on warehouse shelves at another! I know some...

Ziggyo had some GI replacement windows.

Don't forget my second RT-524. I picked up the first one and the five fuel cans yesterday from Tony in Rockmart.

Derrick, at $274 each I'll stick with the surplus ones for a while.

On the first two, water weighs 8 pounds per gallon, so you will be lifting 94 pounds of water plus whatever the empty container weighs. Army deems anything over 60 pounds as a two person lift under normal circumstances. With those suckers, you are almost in three person territory! But, you...

Be somewhat choosy about CAMBRO's, after all they come up on GL where you will pay about $50 each for them including shipping vs. a hundred or more via e-pay or other sources. Also the condition they are in matters! There are some items that you do not want to purchase surplus because they...

14 other projects in the way, including his new railroad!

TM says to hold the "START" button in for 30 seconds at a time if it is having problems getting started (up to four times, then pull and go through the troubleshooting procedure. Had one early this morning got an ER05, disconnected it and pulled it out - sure enough, it had a flame going. Blew...

Corner floor supports are merely aluminum poles with a 1/4 inch tip on each end. They can be made out of a solid piece of aluminum or very thick walled pipe. Roof Jacks - I got one last year from Beltfed34 (on e-bay), maybe he has more - he has 4000 items up at a time. Roof Canopy poles are all...

That is where a 'parts wanted' listing, WITH a picture or diagram, preferably both, the NSN and manufacturer's part number for easy identification would be helpful. Then the people with tri-walls of odd parts would have a single place to look to see if their 'unknown' part was wanted by...

Brake lines - the five flexible ones, replace em!

There was another thread within the past 10 days with a link to replacement caps for the MC. (IE the same cap fits 1937-1959 GM single circuit MC's). Life is good - same MC on CCKW as the deuce. Buy a new cap for $8.50 and drill and tap it. Clean up the shavings, then install it.

5 tons also require a CDL to be legal because their gross vehicle weight is over 26,000 pounds. There are numerous threads here on the 'real cost of owning' a MV. Insurance is a whole issue unto itself, because every state has different requirements, and there are not many companies that will...
