I really like those videos.....It's like we're there! If you could only see my stupid grin when you throttled up and she responded like a snapping turtle. Lucky truck!

I'm still seeing places on Goose where I missed a few seams and I was shooting 90° at everything I could. There are a few folds on the box and cab where I didn't get down low enough to shoot up into the fold. We're seeing surface rust starting to show up so it's good to hit it again. I did a ton...

That bumper is telling a story but I don't know what it's saying. Any history on the truck? We've got some deep family roots from Ireland so welcome aboard and can't wait to see pictures from every corner of that beautiful countryside.

Welcome aboard to the Jolly Green Giant Early Deuce Addiction The JGGEDA. Keep a close eye on your truck. We have a guy over in Salmon looking for parts and I know he's good with the tools. Is your truck a runner? Really looking forward to seeing some pics...

That is the ultimate proof you're working on an Early Deuce! Just when you think you're ready for a road trip the starter, carb, fuel pump, water pump, points, wheel seals, brake cylinders and a few other things will go bad all at the same time. The Stovebolt guys still talk about the 302 so...

If the hair is standing up on the back of your neck it's because I keep staring at your pictures. What are we looking at in this pic? You might need to get your magnifying glass out, I saved it to paint for the red circle of wisdom and it looks like it might be small. It looks like a gear...

Did you paint the tires? That's fast hey...or should I say that's fast eh'! I'm giddy with smiles man so I can only imagine how you're feeling. A new truck in 3 days is hard to beat. You'll really enjoy touching her nuts for anything you need to dismantle now because they'll spin right off. I'd...

I told the boys those heads were heavy and they laughed at me. I'm going to make up a handle board like yours unless you can get a patent on that one real quick. Doing a rolling restoration, once you get that motor running, gets a guy in the driver's seat a bit quicker so I really wish you...

No good deed goes unpunished Bobcat of Edmonton did the initial inspection and 'thought' it was the injection pump. Cam driven distributor rotor and possible delivery valve failure. If you do all the vehicle starts and movements Longshot, you'd at least eliminate that risk and keep the...

There is a lot to cover when jumping into museum loan agreements. I wish there wasn't because it's a very noble and educational thing for us to be doing. Third party injury and considerations for complete loss due to fire or theft is really the worst case, possible scenario. This can happen...

That is just crazy there sledder! I can't help but seeing the huge smile on the hands in pic 5. I just bet that along with the beatings you get, pops has the biggest smile on his face every time he touches it. Those sure look like your Dad's hands......when you get a project going. Being part of...

G749 gratitude Had a call that a group of cadets couldn't get into their regular compass training, long weekend campsite so the G749 farm hosted its first cadet camp. An LSVW, Iltis and a support van pulled in Friday night and within a few hours, 26 cadets, several cadet officers, Warrant...

Humidity sucks. Do it on a dry day.:whistle: There is a ton of info online about prep after blasting including everything from 'just get er coated quick' to steel temperature shall always be at least 3 degrees C higher than calculated dew point temperature....bla bla bla. One of the key...

Absolutely my pleasure. Every time someone goes through this adventure we should write a book about it so the process gets easier for the next guy. I know nothing about import/export but have read the stories about equipment being held up in port and costs piling up. It would be nice to put that...

The Heart Beat of America Took that moment to visit the Greyhound and it's one more leap forward. The engine mount bolts offer up a bit of a mystery with a 5/8 hole and a 9/16" shouldered bolt that came out of it. Looks like the same bolt in the book and we're not...

I'm putting a bump on this because a guy doesn't meet a man everyday that is thinking of doing what you're doing. You're also kinda new here so welcome aboard. Just guessing the import guru team has missed the message and will jump in. I just got off the phone my my Canada bound English speaking...

Wring 24 volt hazards Welcome to Steel Soldiers and the pearly sounds of the 50's GMC 302 cu.in. sewing machine. These 24 volt systems can weld metal if a guy doesn't chase all the wires before hooking that last wire to the ground on the last battery. There is some great info in pt 2 of the...

Spotlights I had to search for that T257 tag and came across a very cool Russian site (lots of pictures) http://russian-tanks.com/ that tells us all about the M113 platform and the 81mm self propelled mortar, later designated T257...

Leyland Daf 4 ton Let's sit on Laurie and go for a ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_x3BaS7fO4&feature=youtu.be That is not what I meant! Since finding out that that transport cover in the mystery box belongs to the M113, XM106 or the T257(?) we found a few folks with M113's that...
