    Dessicant/Drying Agent

    Well, I can do part "A," and try the fan for the winter. I'm unfortunately parked in the woods and won't get any sunlight once the leaves go back on the trees again...

    Yea, It does yard work.

    I work nights and we'll be having work done on the house tomorrow, so after I vote I'll be off to the shop van (in my footie pajamas) for rest away from the hammering/sawing/barking/etc.

    Dessicant/Drying Agent

    Thanks to moisture, the seafoam green of my van body is now trying to create an interior camouflage pattern with mildew. I keep the truck too far from a power supply to use a dehumidifier. What other options are available to me?

    tach repair

    Have you recently pulled the instrument or instrument panel for some reason? If the ground provided by the four twist lock fasteners at the corners of the panel go bad, the instruments all start their own St. Vitus' dance.

    Good Price For M52A2

    The gague panel contains a "tachograph" which can record engine rpm and vehicle speed against time, and I'm sure other things as well. Bjorn showed me one while I was at his place last week.

    Camper/Motorhome Conversion Thoughts

    I've been spending idle moments thinking about making the van body of my truck "civilized" and more cozy. Would anyone have any insight on the following: Is there any insulation between the outer and inner skin for a M109 van body? If so, what exactly is it? What sort of wood is used for the...

    road trip OCT 22 through NOV 05

    P., did I forget to tell you I wanted one of those for my truck? They'd go nicely with my 24v remrofsnart. Safe travels and Godspeed!

    Diablo Build Update (pics)

    Glove box lights? Wow, how civilized! (Says the guy who was rummaging around the floor of his truck in the dark looking for his house keys tonight.)

    road trip OCT 22 through NOV 05

    Boy, was it DARK driving home on the Blue Ridge Parkway tonight! I felt like Ichabod Crane waiting for the Headless Horseman to lurch out of a dark stand of trees. I'm home in one piece. Many thanks to Cranetruck and his family for putting up with a bunch of interlopers. I had a blast...

    Aftermarket shifter boots

    His firm is Spruce Mountain Surplus, found here: http://www.sprucemtsurplus.com/ I can't seem to find the shifter boots, though. (Correction: Oops. :oops: Nope it isn't his company, but they do sell his cab heater mounting set.)

    Chemical Shelter Trailers

    A discussion on these trailers came up a few months back, as one was for sale on E-Bay. I can't seem to find the thread now, but IIRC the manual was posted at the time. Perhaps someone with more gray matter might recall where to find that conversation.

    Miltrucks has one and might have some insight as to parts in Ohio. (Or you could buy his truck from him...)
