I joined the OCMVCC for a great parade in Torrance CA. yesterday. I drove up from Temecula (100 miles each way). The truck ran well but still, as I drive long distances, the brake pedal gets higher and starts locking up the wheels...different thread!!! Anyway, the parade was fun, had some...
I went to change my oil and found that soldier A stripped the drainplug and instead of changing the pan, gobbed on a ton of thread tape. I'm lucky the drainplug didn't shoot out during a road trip. I had another drainplug but the pan threads were bad and stripped the second drain...
My M105 trailer has the older, round tail lights "see first picture". My understanding is that they are not compatable with my M35A2 and composite lights "see second picture". I plugged the trailer into my truck and have running lights, hazards, left blinker, NO right blinker and pushing on...
I recently noticed my second laptop now displays the SS site differently. My older laptop still displays the site since I joined over a year ago. Can I get them both to display the same way??? Sorry, I'm not too computer literate. :oops:
Just got back from AZ. Took a side trip to Jack's surplus...then off to Papago.
Jack of Jack's surplus is a very kind host. Happy to show off his trucks, helecopters, etc.
At Papago's, it was awsome running into several SS members...L7, Arizonadeuce and groundog. BTW groundog, thanks for...
I'll be at a conference in Scottsdale wed-fri so I'm gonna go to the show Sat. the 26th. Anyone else gonna be there?
Since I've never been to this show, what can I expect? Are there good deals on parts, accy's, trucks etc?
Am I missing something?
I got a pair of brand new, plastic wiper motors from TNJMurray but neither one works.
One I got the red button out but it only goes one direction.
the other one I cannot get the button out but doesn't do anything except leak air out the rectangular plastic cover which...
My duece didn't have any plumbing for the wipers except a piece of copper tubing coming out of the dash.
I have just ordered some new motors and the wiper upgrades but I'm not 100% sure how to plumb the wipers.
I don't have to go 100% original. I have read several threads regarding adding a...

Chow down on...
Well I am finally rounding the corner, or is it coroner :lol: , finishing my deuce. I finished painting the troop seats, the rear bumper markings and other final touches. I figured I'd take a few pics before she gets all dirty :roll:
Here are a few pics from the para-military training...
I bought these wagners off the internet. Looks like I just need to solder on the pig tails. Anyone done this before? Any issues to look out for? What do I have to do regarding the white sealant?
I got a pair of these super cheap so I figured I could use them while I search for all the Vic radio parts I'll need.
I wanted to figure out if I could pump music into these. I contacted Peltor but no help. Anyone know if I can use the "INT" connector for this? I'm hoping one of you...
I ran across this on E-bay and I wanted to let SS folks know that something smells fishy.

The picture for sure is not the truck same listed. I personally...
I can't believe I'm finally starting to bring my deuce back together again. I set up my outdoor paint booth, sprayed some H2O in the bottom to catch some overspray, put on my white hooded bunny suit, resporator and started a mixin' and a paintin'.
Thanks to all for your help regarding how to...
