Troop seats - stuck piece of wood **solution** (for update, see below) I have one piece of old, wooden cargo bow upright stuck in the troop seat square pipe. Soldier A had left it there and the wood got wet, swelled up and got stuck. Eventually, someone broke the upright off. I need to remove...

I know that the "standard" military method was to drill holes in the top of the bumper and use a threaded rod with two nuts to lock it into place. I did not want to do this, because - the threaded rod will eventually fail due to vibration - the threaded rod is metal and bends and may cause...

Could I ask a few people to snap a picture of the new style lever AND BRACKET in their trucks? Reason: My truck came with a new style lever that sits on a beefy bracket (bolted on both sides of the lever, on all four corners with the bolts that hold the cable bracket under the cab) AND an...

What I am interested in - and probably other newbies that have not done a head gasket job on a multi - are tips for what to do and what not to do and how to do it, from people that have done this job. I would like this to turn into a walk-through for the head gasket job. Seeing that you...

I just got myself a cool NOS 10t snatch block. My spinal discs tell me that the block is probably underrated. Is there a good solution to store the snatch block on the truck? With the weight of that thing it needs to be securely latched down somewhere.

When driving for a prolonged time, especially at highway speeds, I have oil leaking from what appears to be somewhere in the front upper region of the engine. When you open the hood, the front inner part of the hood is oily; it looks fan-blown, but I am not sure if the oil seeps out somewhere in...

Yes, I have a picture! I took a whole day off to get it accomplished. Safety tested in the morning - no problem :grin:. She passed with flying colours. Right after, the flasher module started quitting and the (new) hand brake cable broke. Good timing! The licensing office (Ontario MTO) was...

I received a new production parking brake cable, new style. Both the sleeve and the cable itself were of smaller diameter than the original one that was in the truck. I overcame the problem by making sleeves out of rubber hose to make the various clamps fit. However, the properly adjusted...

I just finished some needed maintenance on my truck (she is named Queen Lola). After having been a lawn ornament for the last eight weeks or so, she enjoyed the quick trip around the block and to the fire station for a good wash. New axle seals all around, new brake shoes and wheel cylinders...

Folks, I'd need one set of brake shoe anchor pins/bolts. One long one, one short one, two horseshoe clips. I do have the spring. I need them put-in-an-envelope-and-mail-it urgently. Tried local heavy equipment/truck supply; have the Rockwell catalogues but the parts are retired. Yes, I tried...

While replacing all flex lines on my truck, I crawled underneath to replace the two short flex hoses in the rear. I discovered that there appears to be a modification on my truck and I wonder if this is common. The steel brake line coming from the front terminates in a square distribution block...

I was mindlessly taking off the front brake drums after having done the rears. Beside the point is that bozo soldier A replaced the driver's side set of brake shoes while he left the right side untouched although it is worn to sh&t and two guide pins fell out. There were no corks in the...

Here is the scoop: I HAVE to do brakes and seals in the front. I inspected the steering knuckle boots and they look pristine. No cracks or tears. I will be taking half of the stuff off to replace wheel cylinders and brake shoes, but the extra work of getting to and replacing the boots is...

No, there are no pictures, so do not even try! I finally got started on my first rear wheel. I can report the following: - if you do not have the budd socket, the geared lug wrench is a great tool to get the wheels off - the write-ups on this site about axle seal replacement and cranetruck's...

Since going fast is nice, but stopping is far more important, I decided to replace, amongst other things, all flex lines on the new-to-me truck. I obtained "new" brake hoses as a complete set from a seller that is mentioned around here once in a while and sells on ePay. When the parcel...

Planning on singling out my truck with 11.00-20 XLs sometime next year. Seeing I am replacing axle seals, I thought of flipping the hubs right away in order to avoid having to pull the hubs again when I get the new tires. I do not need full cargo capacity at the moment and would just run...

So I ordered a horn button kit from ODIron. Little plastic bag, a couple of springs, rubber doo-dahs and brass cups. Can't be difficult. Assemble and install. Half an hour later I am feeling like a moron. TM is no help as it shows a different style horn button assembly. I finally got it working...

After some light sanding I discovered the following on the passenger side of the front bumper: FRC 49 STR (or STB). The corresponding vehicle markings on the left are gone. According to CARNAC, my truck saw service in the W1E0 B CO S BN 1ST SPWAR T GRP Location:FT BRAGG SPWAR is special...

I searched and also checked the online vendors. Short of taking all hoses off and matching them up one by one, is there a list of NAPA part# for replacing ALL flex brake lines on the Deuce? The cross-reference list does not appear to have them and the online vendors list single hoses, but not...

Summary : Just under 1000 miles (1600 km), two and a half days on the road and got to meet up with Westfolk. Unproblematic export/import (because I did my homework beforehand). Now parked in my driveway, with stuff to do before she can get plated. I became a member on this site years ago and...
