I'm afraid that Horne Supply and Salvage is a bust due to our "friends" at GL. They used to work in MVs but don't do so anymore due to the elevated prices involved. We'll see what there is to be had in Buchanan (pronounced "buck-cannon" for you non-locals...) later on...

If you check with Desert Rat and send him some cash before he heads back to Howard's place, he was able to find me the older metal style (not tested/guranteed to work) for less than half that.

AJG6989, Until I get the heater DR sends me attached to some controls, I'll need a copy of that pic with the red background which is posted over your front window. Looks like it would keep me warm!

It appears that if plated as an antique (25+ model years old) and it isn't a "daily dragger" that the inspection and fenders wouldn't be required in Virginia.

DR, What's the NSN for Grease, Elbow? :-) I figured that'd be the route to go...wanted to ask the Forum. Thanks!

Although I have no rational NEED for a trailer, I've been scoping out an M332 ammo trailer sitting in the back lot of a machine shop here in town. (I COULD put dirt/gravel/cinder blocks inside the van body, but...no, I won't.) Besides taking it out for a test drive, what sorts of problem...

What's my best bet for paint removal from data plates located outside of the cab? My axle and van body data plates have been painted over numerous times and the old trick of using a razor knife to get under the bottom layer and flake off the old layers isn't working well.

Don't you want to ask for a <FONT color=red>finders fee BEFORE giving out the info on where to get the socket set? :p :rolleyes:

Update: I've called the A.D. Weddle folks in Roanoke, VA, and they said they don't handle MVs. Elwenil's lead in Buchanan, VA (off of I-81 north of the 'Noke) is Thrasher Machinery & Salvage 19063 Main St., Buchanan, VA 24066 (540) 254-2390 - Need to follow up. Donald R Horne Supply &...

Elwenil, I sent you a PM.

Hey Digger, welcome! Looks like the Old Dominion contingent is growing!

"My plan now is to dilute the hot oil with some cold to reduce the temp to about 120 or so and process it as soon as I get home when still warm. " And you don't need to go to the trouble (and expense) to heat it and get it all over the kitchen floor like in your first experiment, you lucky duck!

Fred, Here's a neat summary article on Vietnam-era vehicle markings: http://www.collect.com/interest/article.asp?Pub=MV&id=9591

Someone on the forum has converted this manual (TB 746-93-1, "Color and Marking of Military Vehicles, Construction Equipment and Materials Handling Equipment" dated October 1964, Headquarters, Department of the Army) to an Adobe Acrobat file, but my search hasn't turned anything up. I'll...

Wiper motor! YAAAY Howard and DR! Vision is a beautiful thing in a big truck!

I've tried searching the forum about alternative sources for door/windshield seals/weather strips without any success. Might anyone have suggestions for alternate sources for the raw materials for making my own rubber strips? With all the other issues on the truck, I'd have trouble...
