:driver:Glad all went well. Bruce is great to work with. I have taken several trucks and trailers from there as well. FMJ is correct, that will be the last for awhile. They may trickle out of Kirtland once in a while. Perhaps 1-2 per year. Same with Holloman.
The last truck I took out of Santa...
COOP-I certainly agree and have been told since I was old enough to understand that if you want something done right, then do it yourself! When we purchase a truck or an engine off GL we are usually buying a pig in a poke. As I previously indicated I purchased a rebuilt engine in a can...
:ditto:ARMYMAN-I agree with you 100%. Take it to the MPs. Enough filed theft reports and some action will be taken at post level. I think there is an extra guage cluster in my inventory and I have very little invested in it.
Yea, I like it. Started on mine about 2 weeks ago. Platform was a M109A3. Has many upgrades. My dilemma is bed height placement. I do not want it to look goofy with the top and bows in place.

I do not know of any here in NM unless FMJ came up with some. I got 15.5s from OD Iron with the wheels. Try Desert Deuce in Phoenix or Jack Martin in Tuscon.
My neighbor lady down the road loves to here the deuce roll by. The neighbors across the road complain. They are pompas A----. They drive a Cadilac Escalade. They do stop by to say hello and my dog Bishop runs up and puts his paws on the door to say hi. I know they hate that.

In addition, COOP is correct when he say chase all threads as well as anything that requires torque. The reason for this is: if there is a rough thread or debris on the stud, bolt or threads in the head or block it will not give an accurate torque reading. I am also an...
