    Easter falls on March 27th next year, so I think we're safe there!

    Yes, the convoy over to wheelspinners place along with Blakes cooking was the highlight of the entire event!

    I was just wondering about this myself. Hoping to show off the M880 this spring, now that the cosmetic restoration is winding down.

    Plugs

    Ended up using something similar to these. Found them for about a buck a piece at my local ACE Hardware. Close enough to original for what I'm doing! http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rnb-45479?seid=srese1&gclid=CKTk3KrsqMkCFUKXgQodwqANew

    Plugs

    Bob H, is it possible to remove them without destroying them? If so, I shouldn't need any more. What happened is our parts truck had brand new fenders on it, and rather than patch the ones on the "good" truck, we decided it would be ridiculous not to just go ahead and install them instead...

    Plugs

    Anyone know where I can find some of those little plastic(?) plugs that go in the fenders, or a respectable substitute? I'm referring to the ones that plug the holes where the "Custom" or "D150" emblem is mounted on civilian trucks. TIA! Don

    Starting to wish I woulda went with a shade of green closer to that. But that's okay, the 383 ought to look sharp once I get it all done. :)

    Was that your truck I just saw on WRAL in the Fayetteville Verterans Day Parade? If so, it turned out to be sharp looking unit!

    Our "new" M882

    Been having trouble with the camera on my tablet, and I also cannot get pictures off my phone for some reason. The Mrs took these for me the other day when she was helping me:

    Our "new" M882

    Okay...this project has been on the back burner for long enough, so...off with her bed! Then off to the welder for some new rockers and one new door skin.

    Official '15 Ga. Rally Info thread

    Well gang, It's almost that time...and for some reason, I'm not getting stoked. Don't know why, but for some reason my heart just isn't into it this year. Not only that, I'm a wee bit overextended at the moment. :oops: Methinks I'm going to sit this one out and try to get some long-overdue...

    One interesting little footnote is that the New York Central would have been a fallen flag for almost a decade by the time this picture was taken. Thanks for sharing!

    Problems installing PerTronix Solid-State Ignition

    Yes, I do not understand going through all of this at all. It would be a classic case of "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is."

    Keep it full of gas and keep it driven often. It takes the mechanical fuel pump a while to pump it back up to the carb when the stuff in the float bowl evaporates. Ours does the same thing. Sure wish we had a brush guard like that!

    Why? The procedure isn't any different than any other one-piece tubeless wheel. Most asinine thing I've heard all week! I had been contemplating getting a set of these in 9.50-16.5. Even went as far as to track down and call an STA dealer...who promptly talked me out of it and recommended...

    I bought one of these with the intention of mounting it behind the seat. Haven't had the time to tinker with it much though: http://store.oldgrouch.biz/hmpitorapefo.html

    Ours had holes drilled and a light installed in the drivers side of the rear bumper when we took possession of it. So we left it that way.

    Availability is the only reason, really.

    Highly advise ditching the 16.5" wheels in favor of 16s.

    Why not compromise and go with an all terrain tire? BFG all terrain T/As have been good to me throughout the years. The BFG Commercial T/As or Commercial Traction T/As would be a good choice as well. I bought an M101a2 from GL at FT Bragg a few years ago...and it was shod with a brand new pair...
