Gracious me my truck Piglet had a birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Piglet. I knew our numbers were close but had no idea mine were identical, just mixed up. This one was delivered 6 /27 / 52 is 113500685 and was not treated well. If I remember math class our trucks are 99 units apart in 24...

Forgot I had these. I wasn't sure if you said truck in the box or chick under the fender so I put both up.

We'd sure like your 0-50 mph reading with that reb shifter. Here's a vid without the shifter but dropping in Hilly after 2nd to hang onto 3rd a little longer.....as per the manual.

I have one close to 586 so I'll get a look tomorrow. That's the 586th truck to come out of the plant so it's real early. Many were mothballed, cosmolined and put on blocks in 16 areas surrounding 16 nuclear target Cities so its military life could have been soft. The CFR, Canadian Forces...

Welcome aboard. How'd that REB shifter get in that truck? I'll just bet there are some cool family stories behind her history. It's a special truck with that cage and Mattech will tell us all about it. USMC-008 put the time into that document and he knows how much we appreciate him. I slip him...

That might be the answer I was looking for in my position not to use ATF. Is there a 30wt ATF? The manual for our G749 states that 30wt non-detergent oil is used in warmer temperatures and 10wt non-detergent in cold. If the warm climate fellas are using ATF in summer, would heat become a...

Taking us right back to the Templars with that number 13 aren't we? It's interesting to see it on the trousers and hear that story. I'll bet there's more to it. .....like 11 wasn't enough and 15 were too many? I was going to say who's counting but we just lost 2 bolts because Keppy's counting...

It's not easy cutting steel that had a purpose and might play an original role in another restoration someday. It's almost more fun to fab something up and try to fool the judges. However, they keep saying we can't take it with us. If it's ok, I'd like to share some of your photos with some...

You keep pulling me back through the Canadian research photos I've seen. ......I know I saw that wire cutter somewhere.....but where? I searched back through "Canada Cyprus" and hit "Images" and there it is. https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/wars-and-conflicts/cyprus/ Your mitered...

Work smarter not harder. I like it. A guy can put an ear and eye on the engine while we're silently applying force, thank you. Did you run engines after they were seized and jacked back to rotation with hydraulics? The advantage of the jack would be 12000 lbs of truck sitting on the center of...

So I'm out in the front yard, enjoying the birds, when a sparrow flies into the tree over my head. The second I gushed with love.....the local Merlin Falcon came over the house and snatched that bird off the branch right in front of my face. Blessed with a rare sighting, thankful I'm not a...

Interesting search. I found a similar "Bomber Seat" made by the General Fireproofing Co. Well,...... I didn't find it but this guy did and put up some cool pictures..... it may not be a bomber seat but it's called a bomber seat. The floor pan is different and obviously the mount but it looks...

Watch for low wires.

I've seen that seat before. Do you have pictures of the bottom and mounting pattern? It's keeping me awake. The seat cushion looks wrong and the pan is deep enough I could be sitting on my parachute, or in my Rat Rod. I have a cool seat I'll share later but I searched the term "__everyplane__...

Our Sincere condolences. We found the toro-flow manuals somewhere so I'll ask the young bucks for a link if your engine turns out to be the 478. Here's the toroflow in our bus. We keep recording devices close by because they have a reputation for running away. Beautiful combination of a...

I do not know....."the measurement of the M35A2 jackshaft center of ujoint to center of ujoint? " I do know there's a guy that,,,essentially, could provide a "Cummins Kit" and instructions for a round nosed early deuce upgrade. That's cool and you've nailed some serious milestones. Most guys...

When I got the TM's for the M135 we could see rubber and steel lines laying in cradle channels above the diffs. The channels hold dirt so the lines can rot out quick. We just plan on replacing every piece of a brake system unless it's been done within the last year. It's the only way I know it's...

lol.....three years is nothing......Wait until you say...."I'm just going to swap a bigger motor into it". Ten years will click by before we open our first beer together. The trouble is the 995 days we lost along the way. All good brother, that truck still looks great.

I bought some used air paks off these fellas years ago. They were very professional and quick to deliver. I asked for air paks for the old deuce and I'm anticipating I wasn't clear when I said M135. They sent me longs instead of shorts but it gave me parts. I don't know their status now but be...

The conditions were interesting at the G749 farm when the tank and pump off Piglet finally got bought, loaded and gone. If you are bothered by insects, look away. The mosquitos weren't constantly this bad. When the wind came up a few would blow off your back. You can just see Piglet in the...
