Welcome from Orlando.

I really like the tool box cover Ray!

I have noticed the fonts vary. The fonts on my trucks are slightly different from truck to truck. As long as you are doing them all it won't matter much if you don't have to match existing letters. I made my own stencils and actually customized some of the letters and numbers to be the way I...

I decided a long time ago it's easier to change brake pads or shoes than a clutch disk. If I'm on a long grade I'll use the correct gear that let's me use minimal braking; but I generally don't down shift while stopping. If you need to down shift, just make sure to slow it down so you don't...

Sometimes the transfer case air cylinder leaks. I had this problem. The seals are easy to change. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?77497-5-Ton-Transfer-Case-Air-Cylinder-Rebuild&highlight=

Well, it looks like there are a butt load of them coming up. Doesn't make much sense to sell more if there's a hold.

Did the M65 actually use a cased round; or was it like a battle ship gun that used a projectile and bags of black powder?

Here is Florida's definition: Section 320.086(6), Florida Statutes, states: “Former military vehicle” means a vehicle, including a trailer, regardless of the vehicle's size, weight, or year of manufacture, that was manufactured for use in any country's military forces and is maintained to...

I have done this also. One truck I bought didn't have the year listed so I had to do a little serial number review to determine the year. FYI, whatever you put on the SF-97 is what will be on the title (if GL provides a title in your state of residence). Right, I had one truck that had no...

Thanks for sharing this info Robo McDuff, I like the idea of the hydraulic fuse. I think one on each axle would be fine unless you were heavily loaded. A model that has a switch to activate a warning light would be the ticket.

Good job Ray! Perseverance and a BFH saved the day!!!!! :beer:

Our credit card limit is the only thing holding us back.

Noooooo....... :shock:

Sorry to hear your story Average Joe. I don't think I've had nightmares that ended that badly. There's no doubt in my mind who the winner (or loser) of the "Worst Trip Ever" award is. Like DH said, posting while you were having trouble may have brought some help. Good luck going forward.

I'm finally getting around to updating here. :clinto: In September/October 2013, I painted and re-stenciled the M929 (right before the GA Rally). I took pictures during the process, but I can't find them now. Oh well, I used a Harbor Freight super cheap, HPLV, $10 on sale, gravity feed...

Here's a better picture of my M929 to go in the February poll thread.

That is a good looking hitch weld88. I like the double square tube cross pieces to spread out the torsion load. Nice welding too. Good job!

Stop that!!!

Maybe for future months, the vehicle owner could submit a better picture if they like. Several pictures are under exposed or in shadows and it's hard to see detail. I also noticed only a few of the pictures pop up in a viewing window. Is that a page setting? Lots of good looking trucks in...
