Howard, You gave up to quick with the asking everyone if their a S/S member. I was down Saturday listening and looking for a guy with a British accent. I guess It will be easier if I drive 3 miles up the road and stop in your place to finally meet. Doug

Thanks Steve, Hope to see you all there. Should be rolling in about 9:30 am Saturday. Doug

May have the wife talked in to going. Never been there before and plan on driving my M1009 down from central NY Saturday morning and returning Saturday evening. Do we park in the main lot as a visitor or are we allowed to park in the display area for the day as a short time visitor?

Thanks

If your talking about the seam between the fiberglass top and the truck body you should try urethane windshield caulk like I did. For more information search for water leaks and I responded #7 post on the process. I would add the direct link to the thread but haven't figured how to yet. The...

I still plan on getting a few photos if they still have it for sale. I haven't been by that way since the beginning of winter and the wife is giving me a little resistance. She wants her new kitchen first but she did say I can paint it green.

You said he was a good friend? It looks like you may have bought yourself a parts truck with all the parts missing.

Pick up a few tubes of the urethane caulk at a glass shop that replaces windshields. They have the good commercial quality.

I had water leaks in my M1009 cap also. I knew I would never remove the top so I took my utility knife and cut the old gasket from the outside. I then caulked the seam with black urethane windshield caulk, smoothing it out with plastic spoons before it cured. I left the excess caulking ridge...

You must still be in a drought alert done there. If so I'll send some fresh snow down to you; I do accept PayPal

You Texans must head north more often. In upstate NY we don't even use or wipers on a cold winter day.

Nice luggage rack; I would buy that one if was green. What is it?

Thanks for the link Steve. I researched it last knight and ran across that same photo. That is the same truck but the one I'm looking at is green with a lot of painted duck tape holding the windshield s in place.

Thanks for the welcome. The green bug started with a "chance" purchase of a 86 M-1009. I bought it back in 2011 for a beater and daily driver but went too far with it to use as a beater. Added a few extras including antennas, mounts with brush guards, jerry can, body work and plenty of...

Give me a break, I'm still new at this. Ill try to snap a few photos this week if the snow doesn't cover it up first. Besides I don't own it yet and I don't want the price to rise if I show to much interest. The owner says it runs. I saw a lawnmower gas can hooked to the carb with a rubber hose...

I have a chance to purchase a 1943 Federal dump truck in what I think is in restorable condition (model 2-G 2 1/2 ton). I wonder if any one knows the ins & outs of this truck. I am worried that parts may be hard if not imposable to find, making this a costly restoration vs. finished value. Any...

You can find the mounts and brush guards on e-bay from time to time. I believe someone is selling a brush guard/mount kit (NOS) for around $85.00. A few mounths ago I bought a new brush guard for $15. and a new mount for $40.
