That's the best outcome a fella could ask for. I have the 56' era so would spend hours just torquing before a highway run. It's just good news. Having lots of eyes on a problem is only good if we all look for solutions.

I like pictures of trucks and deuce manifolds. So you're set? You got parts? You still need gaskets? Check locally off the part number sheet. Napa had valve cover gaskets last time I asked. The package is one the shelf....over. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/g749-parts-list.137722/ The...

That guy must have been busy. His work is all over the trucks up here. Not all the manifolds broke so there is this little rumor that the fellas and ladies did not read the operations manual. Had they read the manual they'd know the little flap at the side of the manifold has has 2...

Welcome to the site. One of the most widely used post service MV's still running and on the push for 70 years........beautiful. That's a good looker. I smell a heater behind that step, one under the hood indicated by the missing scoop......and I'll throw out a guess that the frame rail behind...

So I'm driving along in my chevy today listening to this whistler video,........ A whistler on anything is cool. A White multi-fuel whistler in a chevy would keep the 5 ton in the mirror.

It's kinda funny you should ask because Demon and I had a phone conversation about Jellybean just the other day. The trucks usually wait around the farm until the right people come along and Jellybean's story isn't over. We know it's heavy. .....HDN heavy lol. Gave it a little tug with a 5 ton...

You have green stuff coming out! The green looks clean! After you tighten all the possible and probable anti-freeze hose clamps, give her another good bath and observe. Does it run good? Any milk in the oil? Let's just hope the fan is blowing juice from a gently leaking clamp or wimpy hose.

That's a great stage name and Welcome aboard. I had to laugh because I met a welder named "Roman Bison" near Long Lake Ab decades ago and he called his company Wandering Buffalo. My tree spade kept breaking and I kept visiting Roman and his pet Deer. My elderly Aunt told me to get a van and...

Do you want photos too? This is how we start a parade north of the border,. .....and at the 1:22 mark, support each other. Jamie in the Command car carries the brass and the rest of us follow. In the past, veterans would walk the parade route and those that couldn't do the walk, didn't...

We're getting ready to freeze at the G749 farm by getting all the anti-freezes dipped, batteries stored and gardens black. It's a real friendly community and about mid-day 5 naaaaaaburrs show up to give me a hoof and a headbutt. I was warned about the big black one but he came right over to me...

Car shows can be expensive. If the wiring touches the frame that smell can leak out. Check that wiring. If I did your wiring you'd look for stuff like this around the starter.

There's going to be a time when the MV community needs to get in the same canoe and paddle in the same direction. It's coming fast so all the folks that can steer and all the folks that can paddle should start training. I'm only 11 years in the MV community. Before owning one, I thought that...

Was this taken on the moon? It occurred to me that all I need to feel like I'm there are more pictures like this. Do more of this please. How far away is the missile launcher and all the tanks on display? Your truck sitting beside Big John would be something. Even the legion on the way to the...

Here's a British Colombia Canada memo that must have been produced by someone smoking that there Colombian. I don't have all the details yet but.......this is how MV restrictions start in one region if we let them. I'm new in the situation so I'm not suggesting we call Mr. Geoff Ford the...

Meow.........We're set up with the Cat, auger, forks and didn't touch anything heavy with hands. The Cat can drill, set the posts, place beams, fork material to the roof.....and it never gets tired. We don't get a chance to use it much around the farm but it jumps in once in a while when our...

The brother decided we needed a pole barn for the 1950's farm equipment that has been sitting under piled tin for 70 years. I like throwing down when someone has energy for a project so yesterday we had a spot cleaned, poles up and one beam on in just a few hours. I was grabbing pictures but...

That little truck would look just like this....just a bit shorter. If you singled out the rears it would be lighter. If it ran, you could beat any other big truck off the line and all the way up to 30mph. Without the box they are fast trucks so you'd be wearing a smile while saving a Steel...

I'll just bet you're missing bolts. I thought I could find a quick pic or schematic but ended up getting lost in the manuals. Did you know Rustystud put an airpak repair manual up? That was exciting getting in here but I didn't find the details...

Did that truck get a 'Simple Green" bath yet? I'm really good with washing and detailing so if you don't get it done that's ok.....I can get it on my next visit. The nephews make me detail the engines so they're spotless. They don't want to get their white clothes dirty when they PM it and...

Adjustable height is nice. Drop it for the highway and raise it for tall people. Drop them low for authenticity. I dropped the front bow and kept the rest high for short trips. It's that aerodyne look. Inside height is a bonus except on the road, bush, drive-thru. The CDN is set up with a...
