I am going to be pulling out my muffler to do some welding repairs. The header to muffler inlet flange bolts appear to rusted pretty good. Does anyone know size and particularly the grade of bolts used to fastened the two parts together?
Thanks in advance.
I have removed the trailer hand brake from my steering column on my M818. My problem now is capping the the open air fittings under the dash. I have found sites selling the all the brass air brake fittings, but I cannot locate any caps in the right thread size (works out to be 1/2-24).
Any body...
My 818 is continuously losing prime and it's driving me nuts. I had to limp back to storage yard today at 15-20 MPH. Luckily it was only a couple of miles.
I am in the process of bypassing the notorious "spider" (fuel tank selector) valveaua and going single tank. I pulled a couple of the...
I was watching this M813 for few days. The auction ended a little while ago. Looks like a real beauty[thumbzup]. Anybody here lay claim to her now??

What's an MV if can't share it with the family?
First pic is (left to right) my brother, Tim, me and my Dad, Dave. We met up with Will Wagner last Sunday to do a little work on the truck.
Second pic is my little Patriot, Spencer, pulling a little PMCS. You got the 2404's son?
Brought her home and slicked her up yesterday. Picked up my 7 year old son from school also. He just flipped! Coolest thing he'd ever seen. He got lots of waves from people on the street.
For those of you running traditional 11 x 20 NDT's, what is the optimum tire pressures, that you prefer, for running on the hard pavement?? Especially taking steering axle drift and ride quality into account. Thanks!
Final destination! Pics of her before leaving the flatbed and the new owner behind the wheel. She's a nice runner and a people magnet. Love that short wheel base especially in the city.
Went to to the Kualoa Ranch on the Windward (east) side of Oahu with the family last week. Found this ole' girl still putterin' around. If you look carefully she blends in real well with the wild life. That's my boy wearing his Mack Truck shirt standing on the running board.

This fine collection is at the Kualoa Ranch on the Windward (east) side of Oahu. They call it the Jungle Expedition tour. My son and loved it. Check it out if you ever over there.
Found an M817 5 Ton Dump Truck too. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/41432-lonely-m817-ranch-hand.html
I am currently finalizing shipping arrangements and awaiting a few small additions to my M818. Here are some preliminary pics.
I have also chosen a name: Hannibal 8
For those of you movie buffs, you'll know the name comes from Blake Edwards' "The Great Race" with Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and...
I am pondering whether or not I should place politically motivated messages (on magnetic backing of course) on the tailgate of my MV.
I want to exercise my 1st Amendment rights. However, I don't want to ruffle the feathers of the MV naysayers. I'm sure there are plenty out here in...
