Now that's what I'm talkin about! If you like BIG planes, the Antonov AN 225 is most impressive indeed! Thanks for posting USSR! :beer:

In all the interesting and huge Russian aircraft, I didn't notice any bearing the Antonov name. Aren't they still the record holder for the largest aircraft in the world? :beer:

So I got a little curious when I noticed more wear on the outside of my left front tire than the inside. The right tire is not too bad, but I grabbed a tape measure and had the wife hold the end to the right front tire and I measured to the left tire, then took the same measurement on the rear...

Amazing how some situations result in a mathmatical equasion! Hot slag + loose clothing = dancing lesons! LMAO! rofl

Congrats on your new toy! She doesn't look that rough though. If you wanna see rough, take a look in my media at the pics of my deuce. She's got some rust, no top, and a crunched left front fender. I did get lucky on the winch and I'd love to have a drop-side bed, but like you said "she's all...

Eww! Sizzling ear slag! Thanks for the memories! lol Makes ya wonder what good the welding mask does, don't it? lol It's a wonder I was never accused of being a junkie for all the burns I got in the crook of my elbows! rofl

I too know the pain and momentary helplessness of hot slag down the boot. I worked for a carnival company in the shop as a welder/fabricator fixing all the stuff the brain-dead carnies tore up, bent or broke. Firing up the blowtorch and cutting off something that was destroyed was a daily...

nopics, so I thought I would rectify this oversight. I found this vintage 1983 Hot Wheels Troop Convoy on ebay about a month before I recovered my deuce and had to have it. It cost me a whopping $2. The only beef I have is it's not as detail-correct as I'd like it to be. It's got fuel tanks on...

The only really stupid question is the one someone was too embarassed to ask. So far, the majority of the miles I put on my deuce was bringing it the 580 miles home from the previous owner's house. After I do the bob job on mine, I'll be using it to move half-way across the country. I understand...

Nice lookin truck bottlecap, congrats! What year/manufacturer is it? And to Chuck76: Take a trip through the search for a thread I posted a while back called "Advise for future bobbers". There's a couple tidbits of info that might help ya out if you decide to do your own bobber as I'll be doing...

DEVILDOC, I don't know if my results are common or not, but I put some WMO and new ATF in my tank along with a couple quarts of 2-stroke oil and some clear lamp oil and actually noticed an increase in bottom end torque over straight pump diesel. According to what I read from another SS member...

Congrats on the aquisition DEVILDOC! Nice lookin truck! The winch is a little like a condom in your wallet, better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it! Don't forget to download the "You and your M35A2" operator's manual and give a read. Lotsa good info there! Have fun and...

If the number tags on the harness are intact and in good condition, groovy and awsome! But what if the harness looks like mine and the number tags are illegible? What's the price for a complete wiring harness for a deuce? <bracing for impact>

Nice! Running and drivable is half the battle. Then it just becomes an issue of having the time to break out the big ol can of elbow grease and do the little stuff that comes with owning a 30+ year old vehicle. Good luck and I'm sure you'll find the same comradery and willingness to help that...

Welcome to the madness! Shouldn't that be spelled "M*A*S*H 4077th"? Sorry, couldn't resist. lol I grew up watching M*A*S*H too. No matter how many times I see those re-runs, I still watch and laugh (even when I know every line of dialogue). That M38 looks pretty schweet! did you do the...

Good call by 4x4 Forever on the airless paint sprayer, but if you must use the on-board air system on the truck, do yourself a favor and get an in-line water trap so you don't end up with water bubbles in your paint. Also bleed your tanks off completely before you shoot paint and after about 3...

Pretty spiffy A3 ya got there CanonNinja! What kind of deal did you get on the LED headlights? I finally got the front running/signal lights reconnected on my deuce. I've never dealt with GL as I aquired my deuce from a private party, but I've heard a bunch of horror stories about abuse to...

So I finally broke out the Craftsman 209pc. set, got the grill off the deuce today and took a BFH to it to fix the tweaked left side. (which was why the hood sat a little high on the left side) Got it banged back straight and put back on the truck. Then I straightened out the light guard on the...

Don't forget, Up out of 3rd, across neutral and down into 4th! That one threw me a couple times, but in my 580 mile trip home with mine, I got used to it. I don't even need to think about it now. :driver:

When I recovered my deuce 2 weeks ago, (wow, that 2 weeks went by fast!) I found a nice looking stick to use to dip my tank and I keep it in the battery box now. It looks like a miniature forest walking staff. lol The whole 580 miles back, while I was doing this,:driver: my fuel gauge was doing...
