    Another Museum Project!

    Yes, it does. Most of the time we don't see the tops, usually when the items are brought to the shop for the normal maintenance that is required by the Army/Navy for the items on loan, we see things. They are repaired at that time. For the stuff owned by the Museum, things get checket a bit more...

    Another Museum Project!

    Who knows. I think this was one of not too many made, the paperwork, which is one of the two I linked, had no mention of F-4. SF was known for these types of things, wing tanks, drop tanks, etc. They could have modeled it after something they had already made. I can snap some pic of the fake...

    Another Museum Project!

    The item that we will be attacking is not really the thing in the following images. It is just the stand or shipping skid FOR the item. I will be playing carpenter for this project. Hope the splinters are kept at i minimum! I need to make a new crate, shipping device, display stand for a...

    The next Project an ASMH

    OK all, a little bit more forward progress on the M62. This thing is in the short rolls, I can see the end in sight! Today it was 44 degrees when I got to the compound. Sat around just a bit to get the coveralls warmed up and make it more comfortable to work. Checked the oil, coolant and gas...

    Need help finding correct headlight adjusters

    I was gonna suggest LMC, but others have. https://www.lmctruck.com/headlight I had an '85 1 ton, single rectangle headlights, Dorman and the likes, no fit. LMC was the only ones I found that worked. I kinda miss that truck. 454 that put 440 to the rear wheels. Would pull 10k up Cajon pass at...

    The next Project an ASMH

    Yes my friend, I was spreading lies and rumors about you! Glad things have calmed down for you. My girls live in a complex at the 210 and Los Robles. They are still under evac orders just because of the smoke and ash. Shelby sent a pic of the complex pool, it is black. The inside of their...

    The next Project an ASMH

    On another note, I do have some pics to put up here of some more forward progress, but things have been a bit hectic what with the desert trip with the fam and the weather.

    The next Project an ASMH

    No, thankfully, we are good except for alot of bad smoke and ash. I was there today to load out a piece that needed to leave, and I gotta say, I live 18-20 miles NE of the compound, and the smoke was horrible. There is at least one member here that was within 2 blocks of the main part of the...

    Found a gas powered wrecker

    Pump rebuild kits are still available. I use a place in Weymouth Ma. Then and now automotive. Call them with the numbers off of the pump and they will fix you up. https://www.then-now-auto.com/ And, if it still has the Holley on it, if you can, find a Zenith for it, the engine runs much better...

    M886 Ambulance Markings

    Just in case you still do, here they are. This truck is a Marine Corps ambulance. It is painted MERDC but you can still see the crosses underneath the camo. There is no word ambulance stenciled anywhere on it and the only other markings are the USMC unit on the front bumper and registration...

    Question About Hoods

    Thank you Sir!

    Question About Hoods

    Well, not really the hood, but I guess it is about it too. Do all the different variants of the HMMWV use the same hood? Is the grill in the top of the hood the same dimension? I do know that there are different grills, like armored, but are the holes in the hood the same size? Another...

    M35a2 horn solenoid

    If nobody chimes in, I can go pull one out of the parts pile, disassemble and take pics. That won't be until Tuesday though.

    Is this vehicle dependable? I need advise

    I think these are air brakes. You might need a CDL to drive it, 26,001 LBS GVW. The bed is a bit up there, hefting tools in and out will get old, fast as well as climbing up and down. As stated above, rubber is expensive for them. I don't have much experience with L/FMTV but on the older stuff...

    The next Project an ASMH

    I think since the decals are vinyl, no clear over them. I am afraid that the paint might eat the vinyl. I would then need to start over, don't wanna do that. We will just make a cover for the operators compartment so that the controls are covered and out of the sun. Made a few more changes, but...
