Guys, What the law says in other states is Not remotely relevant to the discussion. In this case the NC laws are what control. It doesn't matter if an antique truck is or is NOT allowed to be used for hauling goods. NC laws are only relevant. First, I am pretty **** certain that the IFTA regs...

Location of the event. Google maps= 34 07 46.07 N 80 24 34.20 W Camping and parking will be in the large field off Rembert Church Road

Seems like the M37 is just about the right size that you could make a towbar that is rigid and suspends the front end. I'm thinking a long a-frame that's chained to the underside in 4 spots and which you have to use a jack to lift the front end to hook up. But otherwise it'd be about the right...

They get lost faster that way. This can be a new one because if you loose your Lt, they might issue you one that's not defective from the factory.

I'm wondering if I should weld in a wye for my crank case breather to dump into the Exhaust system.

I'd argue that if you could obtain a Boxcar of the appropriate size/opening, you could easily move what you want for cheap. Loading/Unloading points would tough though. In my case, I COULD use the Rail Road Museum for loading and shunting easily enough. The destination in PA would be the hard...

Tire chains on the front and rear axles substantially increase the traction in snow and ice...

Fiddle sticks Clint. I gotta get on that 818 and trailer project.:sad:

A badly discharged battery WILL bubble when it's charging. Charging current is the most then. Put a battery on a charger and look at it as it's charging. check the charging voltage. If it's within spec then keep the electrolyte up and don't worry about it.

Ok, define boiling? Are you getting tiny bubbles? Or are you talking a rolling boil with steam coming from the battery vents?

During the fuel supply crisis a few years ago, Georgia suspended the prohibition on running dyed fuel.

Ah, so the Cunifer is in fact a copper alloy HARD brake line tubing. It is more maliable and retains it's strength even when bent oddly. Interesting.

If you have a front mounted winch, flip the PTO to power the Hydraulic pump. Then adapt the front winch to take a hydraulic motor and mount your rear winch. You'll be able to power both with hydraulics....

I think, now that I've got some welding under my belt (and kit to weld with) I'll be working on making some smaller under bed tool boxes on my truck so I can store extra tools more at hand and won't have to climb around in the bed of the truck. I think I'll try to make a tool compartment like...

The valve went down on the floor on the left side of the cab. I'm kind of skinny so I was JUST able to get up under there to do the install. I did have to fit the hoses to it first before I installed the left side tank. Given the way the valve sits, I had to make sure I had enough hose for...

Anyone have a spare Water Buffalo?

Oh, the Valve, was probably the most expensive part. (I already had the tank and pump).

Couple of photos...

OH, for these fuel lines with brass fittings, you'll want a double flare tool. I sourced the stock brass fittings from these guys: BRASS FITTINGS Brass Pipe Fittings Hose Barbs Stainless Steel Fittings Hydraulic Adapters Hydraulic Fittings Grease Zerks Hose Clamps iirc You'll want inverted...

Actually I have Less foaming issues when pumping on a high speed pump into an open tank. If I am filling out of jerry cans, sure, I want the sleeve riser/strainer but normally at good stations I don't worry too much about that. One COULD modify the tank and move the filler if you really wanted...
