Well it has been a great weekend to paint so I hurried and got all the mechanicals done on my bobber project and started on the paint. In the 80 degree temps the paint took no time at all to dry I used type one CARC and got it done pretty quick. Next week I will flip the hubs and get the 395s...
Anybody consider an 1101 bed for a bobbed deuce?
I am bobbing a deuce I just bought and am weighing my options for the bed I have an 1101 sitting here in the drive and was measuring it up for an option. The trailer is a completely rivited together unit making fabrication and modification pretty...
I am going down to the rolla missouri area to try to get a deuce running and put into storage. Im going down tomorrow to get the paperwork done and if its not to dark by then Im going to attempt to get it running. I will be going down in my 1009 alone and if I can secure storage for the truck...
I bought this a month ago on one of the few GL auctions where they were a good affordable deal. I bought it for the new tarp it had on it as I owed a guy a tarp in a trade deal and the trailer was five hours away not to bad of a run to retrieve. It was pretty ugly no rust to speak of but had old...
I had the perfect day to work on the 813 60 degrees sunny so I added some upgrades today. First were the turn signals I took the old ones off that were like new anyway and added the LEDs since the turn signals had the metal bodys they went together like they were made for each other. Next since...
A friend and myself went down to indianapolis today and brought the 813 home I bought from GL a couple weeks ago. I needed new batteries so two 8Ds and three hundred dollars lighter we were on the way we rode down in one of my 1009s after packing it with tools, batteries and all the other things...
The fall weather was so nice today I went out and cut a load of firewood for next seasons heating. I was really impressed how much these 101 trailers will haul it was full of red oak and cherry both pretty heavy wood. Went out to unload and let the dogs enjoy the day outside too now to muster up...
Last week my friend who has a junk yard called me and said he just got an 87 K5 blazer in. He held it in back so it couldnt be pilfered before I got there I was amazed how nice the interior was even though the outside was pretty rusty. I got a perfect dash pad all three seats a nice grey velour...

My 101A3 is finally home I bought it out of sparta a few weeks ago and Kenny had the time and room to go get it and store it for me thanks Kenny. I was surprised how nice it is I believe they had a generator mounted in it at one time the paint is still not worn off the floor. I have a set of...
I picked up two low hour MEP002A generators recently the one fires right up and runs like a top the other has a transfer pump issue. I can turn the switch to AUX prime and hear the aux pump running but when the switch is turned to prime to run the main transfer pumps nothing happens no noise at...
A few days ago the right rear wheel seal went out on the 1009 oil slung all over so today was fix it day. I decided since the cover was off the differential I would replace both sides so I didnt end up doing the other one down the road. After pulling the old seals I checked the bearings and...
Just got my new regulator today my old one worked perfect until I put new weatherstripping in the window channel. A friend told me about this parts place (thanks Chuck) that sold these regulators $154.00 including shipping still in the GM packaging looks like I will have to install it tomorrow...
I had a few spare hours today so I decided to prep and paint an old 101A1 I got in a trade deal a few weeks ago it was pretty sorry looking and had bad tires so I found a set of 10 ply 16 inch tires behind the shop and replaced them and next on the list was a new paint job. It had the typical...
I going to make a run for tires wednesday to a plcce that sells lots of MV tires. Its an 11 hour round trip so its much more economical for me to come home with a full trailer load than just what I need. Last time I was there they had loads of 90% goodyear MVT 395s, 90% michelin XL15.5s, 90%...
This week I am on vacation from work so time to get the 53 studebaker ready for parade season. Monday I prepped and painted a hard top for it the old one was beyond repair and I got the sound deadining insulation on the rear of the cab as seen in the pics the hummer seats look like they belong...
I bought a triwall of goodies a couple weeks ago it had 50 or so of these filters buried down at the bottom and Im trying to find the correct application for them. I know for sure they fit the LMTV but do they fit other trucks like the 3116 cat in the M35A3 I did a search and came up with...
I bought a 1009 from coweta county and would appreciate anyone that can either get it off their lot for me or just to go and check it over. Im willing to compensate for the time and effort.
