Do you have to put any special stuff on a new canvas top to ,make it water tight, or something on the lines that slip into the frame to better preserve them?

Bump bump bump bumping this up in the line of threads.

That's useful information. Thanks

I am trying to get some replacements for the original small bolts used to fasten for example the door lock and window mechanism to the door panel. Off course they are non-metric and I cannot find replacement in our "home depot" Can somebody tell me which tread and which speed they have, or how...

My plan is after replacing the fuel filters and a complete oil change (one time filters, two time oil) I want to do the rest of the drive train as well. Question is when. Logic and prudence say right now, without delay. My worries, however, are that with draining and replacing the oil I...

Don't do that, it hurts when I am laughing so much. Too bad I am too far away to come and help, would have loved to join that convoy.

Just bumping this up again. Anybody?

If the engine that is now in it is in good shape, you can swap or sell it and get an original 5-ton engine. But first check which engine is really there, sounds like the person telling you the story or the people of the museum did not really know what they are doing or what really happened. If...

I seriously would love to go into the discussion full speed now, but I think that this not the right place to do so. If I see what my remark triggered and certainly the reactions when I tried to correct the remark and then mentioned my own opinion Not in the least because that discussion...

I already tried to indicate and will say it clearly now; that statement was a bit too black and white, and everybody is welcome to its hobbies. Tanks are not my kick, but some of the tracked vehicles of our fellow SS members really look nice and my regret is that I never got a chance to race...

not voting, why not? Would not mind getting into a discussion on that over a beer. Besides, I think many US citizens would agree with what I said (which was a bit black and white, I agree). I focused more on its use than on its "BOBBED MV" character. Then again, you probably would not want...

Just outlaw them, and shoot on sight with anti-tank weapons. Nobody who is legal needs such a thing, neither here nor there. For me, it's not a very inventive thing, its and out and out declaration of open warfare. One inch steel plates, but still normal tires. A good machine gun or a grenade...

Can't you guys and galls write a letter to your congressman or whatever to stop this waste of gov money or something, or at least make clear rules when something should be mutilated and what that means? Now its a Russian roulette to see how far they want you to go. Slipping a few greenbacks...

For a truck, what does "mutilation" means exactly? Just cut through chassis, or destroy everything usable or what? Are you allowed to repair a mutilated vehicle or "rebuild it by putting all stuff on top of another frame (= other VIN number?)

Thanks. Presumably I should do the same for the transfer case and transmission oils? While we are at it, I am replacing the hydraulic steering oil and steering gearbox oil as well, both with W10 oil conform specs. Any special flushing recommended here?

FB, thanks. With good quality spec gear oil here costing around $ 36/gallon and needing around 8 gallons for one total change, I prefer the solution of adding a bit of diesel and try it that way. Next question: does the residue of diesel-oil mix staying behind in the housing harms the fresh...

Tens of thousands of trucks were sold as surplus in Europe and around the world. I don't know how much were given or sold to then-friendly nations that are now a bit less friendly. Think Persia (now Iran), Iraq, and Afganistan, to name but the most obvious ones. Once they are sold as...

I have the truck sitting on clogs. How long should I run it there in second or whatever gear to get things up to operating temp, with the engine running at around 1500 rpm (or should that be higher)?

Passenger door had a non-functional latch, which is against DoT requirements. Turned out that the spring was broken and the rod between inside handle and lock was bent. Straightened out the rod and then what. In the end we used a spring coil from the window turning mechanism of an old 2CV...
