What's bad is when you have to look up the parts yourself for the local NAPA store. That happened to me just this week. They are normally pretty good but my regular parts guy was at lunch so I had to deal with the other guy. I called and needed a in-line quick release air valve. The parts guy...

Mine had a little trouble checking the belt tension (while running). WARNING GRAPHIC http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?120925-Foreign-object-in-engine-compartment-CAT-LOVERS-BEWARE&highlight=

It would help if we knew which truck we are talking about.

To each his own I guess but good m715 tailgates are kind of rare. The table does look good though.

You know, we all complained about GL but looking back, they don't look so bad after all.

Are the toes of the channel pointed up or down on the roof? Are you saying that there is a layer of insulation between the roof channels and the ceiling? From what I've come up with research, the cross members are on 22" centers. 22" corresponds to the attachment points for stuff already...

The skid has two shackles attached at each corner. I was planning on just getting some chain spreaders with two legs and attach them to the corner shackles. I know what you are talking about with the chokers, I've seen them on trucks before. I think that's really overkill for this little...

Based on Kenny's pics of the pipeline deuce, it appears that my 5/16" clearance will be ok. I was just a little concerned that the roller would flex enough that the winch line would contact the bed. I may go ahead and raise mine just a little as it's only tacked on right now and it would be a...

When picking the shelter off the ground the winch line will be pulling dead in the center of the roller. The load won't get transferred to the outer edges until the shelter skids start over the roller.

I'm going to add a/c to my s280 in the near future and have the same problems you do. I can't seem to find any info about how the framework is laid out which you need to know before you start cutting holes in the side or roof. I don't really like the idea of a rooftop unit. I don't like cutting...

There were some civilian PTOs to fit the deuce trans made by Chelsea but have been obsolete for years. You might could find one in a junk yard but they are very, very scarce. I've never actually seen one but my Chelsea dealer does have a old catalog with them listed. About your best bet is to...

Worked on the roller a little today. I tack welded the brackets to the bed and test fit the roller. Does anybody know how much the roller needs to stick up higher than the bed floor? I had planned on 1/2" but on the test fit I ended up with 5/16" for some reason. I wonder if that's enough? I...

Gimpy, I merged the two.

Most of the major tractor manufacturers built some sort of military equipment. I know Allis Chalmers made some armor and International Harvester made some stuff too. The truth is, there aren't many major US manufacturers that haven't made some sort of military equipment at some point...

You could go with air operated valves to save a little money. Just buy a remote valve with as many spools as you need and put air cylinders on the spool. Air cylinders can be bought dirt cheap at various places on the web. This is how my dump valve on my deuce is set up. There is a thread...

Thanks Firefox. I think LOGSA has restricted access to all the manuals in recent times to us lowly civilians. I'll do a Google search and see what I come up with. I've already done a Google search for any applicable TMs but I haven't searched for any TBs.

Well I got to work on the shelter a little today. I managed to get everything striped out. I did run into a small problem though. My ceiling is sagging a little in spots and would like to get the sags out. Does anybody know how the ceiling is held up and if there is any framework up there? I...

Some old ballast contain PCBs, I would imagine that's why they were pulled and sent to a hazardous waste landfill. I do know the local scrap yard won't take complete florescent fixtures for fear they will end up with PCB contamination. They will take the fixtures if you pull the ballast first.

Just keep in mind if you go air ride you will sacrifice some off-road articulation over the spring setup.

DH is right. Also if youre going to get it made locally you'll have to get safety glass. Local glass shops can't cut tempered glass, it will just shatter if you try to cut it.
