The good thing about Pepto Bismol, is that it is the same color going down as it is coming back up. What a rotten birthday present.

Las Vegas to Phoenix is one of my favorite drives. Congrats on the successful recovery!

Sounds like your charging system is working just fine then. Go for a nice 30 mile drive for a good charge. Remember that battery cables can also have dirty connections at the starter and ground ends, not just at the battery. With a 6-Volt system, clean connections are especially important.

Did you take the test in San Bernardino? It sounds like it with the gangsta reference. What a place, lovely gravel test area and fun on a hot day. Congrats on passing the test!

Nice. I like the replacement running boards.

I have two friends that are running 7.50-16's on their M38A1's with no issues. The bigger tires drop the RPM slightly for highway travel.

I hope you guys brought something to wipe the steering wheel with!

You are on the other side of the country from the truck. Do you realize what it will cost you to have the truck shipped from California to West Virginia? I would recommend searching closer to home for your purchase. I am relatively close to Barstow, but my work schedule won't allow me time to...

Sometimes when a vehicle pulls to one side, it's because one or more brake shoes on the other side of the vehicle is soaked in oil or brake fluid. I've had this happen with an M38A1 and an M35A2. It's even more noticable if it is one of the front sets of brake shoes that are wet. Maybe a...

Rosco is right, don't have someone push on the brake pedal with a drum removed. You will blow the pistons out of the wheel cylinder and have a big mess on your hands. Another possibility for dragging brakes: the hoses can deteriorate and swell enough on the inside that they can block the flow...

I had a 10" crescent wrench that when opened all the way would fit the plug snugly enough for me remove it.

I personally am not a fan of bobbers, but everyone is free to do whatever they want with their truck. I do hate to see someone cut up a rarer truck, like an M36A2 or a M211. If you're going to cut up something, please consider cutting up something common.

Is this the wiggling fingers type of gage? If you can get the manufacturer and model number of the gage itself, I might be able to find the actual calibration procedure for the unit. In the room next to me is a huge library of manuals going back as far as the early '60's. It does sound like...

I like the using the gear oil in either one or five gallon containers with the hand pump. That way, you don't have to try to lift a little bottle up to the fill hole, just the end of a hose.

The D turbos are also much easier on your ears than the C.

Rock rolling around inside? It's happened.

Very cool!

Another possibility is an M718, based on the M151:

This is an M170, which was out of production long before 1969, though that could be a rebuild date:
