G749 muffler Took the big drive from the 5th meridian into Edmonton today and Goose was a rocket ship. It was so fast I was actually slowed down by a suburban most of the way in. Hit the 58mph mark and lifted the foot with only about 50% throttle input. I know we had a tail-wind but it seems...

G749 Canada Day Weekend It's been a long few weeks since Goose and I got together. We had our Canada celebrations this weekend and it was great to have the fire bans off and burn some time with the family. SuperDave was a big help digging some exhaust donuts out of his garden to get Goose on...

New G749 Muffler Finally found donuts so I could try out the new muffler. I did two videos but we just set the camera on the window frame so we'll need to get better sound bytes. Original https://youtu.be/1rodYyYn5CU New https://youtu.be/-MScILywFFE This thing is quiet. We did a couple...

With a GM tech in the crowd, you're more likely to be helping us then us helping you. It's always good to hear a guy say those words...."Repairs on this girl are simple". Reasonably priced 'perishables' are a challenge for most of us. Spark-plugs, Spark plug wires, repair kits for the airpak...

A congratulations is in order then and a toast to the new Certification. :beer: That's a real lucky M37 to find you and the school. Perfect working conditions, all the safety...less of the dust?....all the right tools and Henderson on the hammer! My son did his first year/ 2 months in class...

Missing....Mess. Finally found a minute to catch up on the new builds on Steel Soldiers and I'm really lovin' the M37 you're doing. Thanks for posting up the pictures because it certainly sets the bar high on a quality restoration....and a quality space to work in. I am going to have an M37...

We'll ask Macus if he has any spare water pump kits and if you're game, I'll send a couple of take-outs down and you could make some spares to sell. I bought 2 new pumps from Brian Asbury and there's still one on the shelf. Any special tools. pullers, presses or goup needed to re-build one...

We had some help today and Chris rolled into the G749 farm with the hood off the Cold Lake warrior. It's the best one and the only one that doesn't have the custom crack across the middle. Everything is staged at the lower sea-cans so loading should be easy. There's a lime green and yellow...

I did my research, Project "Plowshare" was the use of nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes, like gardening, building lakes, moving small mountains. I don't need to ask what you're using for heat! Thought I had the perfect fender for you today. It was already painted yellow, to match the...

We get to go shopping for a new, bigger shop crane......yaaaah. That part of the job is what keeps me hiring mechanics. Some guys just make it all look so easy I'd rather pay the big bucks, watch and learn. They say stuff like, just line the peg up with the hole and slide it in...it's just...

It's humbling seeing the old photos. Those were tough times and it's good to see Grandgpa bring home some pics. I bet he had some awesome Grandkids. The truck on the left has a diff just like my G749 M135. I looked for a photo of another CCKW that has that diff and could only see older style...

If you weren't all healed up and feeling good already that would sure make a guy feel good waking up to every morning. The only trouble I see is when someone rings the door-bell they'd be long gone by the time you walk all the way to the back to see who's there. You're going to need an intercom...

I'm still a landscaper and not a mechanic but there are these motorheads I hang around with that drool over the 302 and tell me about the "racing days". The old "stovebolt" 302 was pretty popular back in the day and we've got plenty of facebookers and forums that might be able to back us up. I...

I gave up 2 of my 3 stooge's to be part of this project...whatcha gonna call the project? Not sure if I mentioned it but 2 cabs came in a 3 truck deal and they were named, Larry, Curly and More. There wasn't much left of Larry, the silver one. Looked like Larry was a drinker, was all smashed...

I had the great honour of hanging out with your Dad at Dog Rump Pond the Wednesday before the Stony Parade. What a schmokin' set of wheels he gets to tour around in. I was under the time management gun trying to get Goose washed for the show so didn't get to spend as much time with him as I...

Onoway Alberta 2016 Goose was staged about 15 minutes from Onoway and I'm not sure if it was the cool moist air but Goose hit 58mph and ran like a top all the way in to town. Gizmo was real tight in behind as tail gunner so maybe we grabbed some NASCAR drafting that helped push Goose to be on...

After the short parade we always head up to the local legion. The town holds a car show and the local Fire-department sets up a few trucks. As we left the staging area headed to the legion, I found myself hooked up behind the CCKW. It was an iconic moment for me following the WW11 Deuce with...

We're real ACTIVE up here so instead of ramming everything in the Early Deuce thread I'll share Alberta Canada Trips In Vehicle Events ACTIVE right here. I wasn't even looking for an acronym to run under but this just fell off the keyboard so we'll go with it. The local MVPA has been feeding...

G749 Canvas Tried to get a muffler on Goose today but the Goat guys are so fun to hang out with I'm like a dog on a walk distracted by a squirrel. They had all 9 TC bearings pulled off and took them in as samples to see if they can be replaced. They can......$900.00. Whaaaat. We'll talk about...

G749 Muffler Prototype one to test for tuning, sound, function is done. We'll get it bolted on Goose real soon for testing. She's running a parade Saturday so trying to get it bolted on for that. Once we're sure it's good enough to share we'll get an add up in the classifieds with more info...
