    Mice

    I just put peppermint oil, mothballs, sticky traps, a brown paper bag, an owl and a picture of a cougar in my truck. Not sure if it'll keep the mice, birds and the bees out but the smell reminds me of the Grandparents. The challenge next year is how to get the MV smell back in. The headlines...

    Newbie's M1010 project

    I bump my head on the light in mine all the time but if you don't hang them upside down they won't fall in your lap. (can't change that photo now) That is some beautiful work. It's tough to get that battery area looking good because it's so busy but you nailed it. Very nice. BULA

    M1070 couldn't do it, had to call up an M816 to help

    That's what you call a boat? When you pulled it out of the water, my pond dropped a foot. That must be a ship.

    Anyone want to rescue a M211?

    Really cool story, thanks for the pics. The steering wheel, bumper and hood look pretty good so hope it finds a home. bump It sounds and looks like the truck retired a long time ago and I could listen forever to the stories the Owner has about it. His photo album could be good. Always wish I...

    What is this?!

    What is it, Canvas I found a 'What is it' today and couldn't see starting another 1 or 2 page whatzit thread. Usually the masters answer a what is it thread in the first reply so I'm just going to add this here, hope that's cool. Checked for a what is it thread in conversations and couldn't...

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    Could it double as a defibrillator? Nearly had a stroke when I read easy to find, cool. Just need easy to find transmissions, manifolds, air pak kits, fuel pumps and spark plug wires now.

    How to respond to unsupportive comments?

    I'm real lucky and have a ma and pa still around so I asked them what I should do if it happened to us in the big truck. They have 172 years of experience between the two of them and are the kindest, sweetest, most considerate and polite humans I know. Mom pipes up and says, "We're often in too...

    How to: Rust proof/reseal window frames

    Everseal and window seals The M35 outside edge window rubber weatherstrips (say that 3 times fast) has that funky 'thickening' so we put the flat part against the frame. The original G749 rubber weatherstrips fit a little different so it would be nice to find a couple hundred boxes laying...

    302 Oil pan Gasket

    302 Engine Gaskets Found another set with MCcord Corp as the manufacturer. Are these guys still around with a different name? My search leads me everywhere and the part number 51-5004 doesn't search well either. The part number on the pan gasket is C-10109-P but once again does not search well...

    302 Oil pan Gasket

    Great info, thank you. Might as well add other places to look for engine gaskets here, on the well titled 302 oil pan gasket thread. There are a pile of links on a recent thread at stovebolt.com in 'the engine shop' under the title "302 GMC inline 6". Mostly engine related links with info on...

    How to: Rust proof/reseal window frames

    "Glass Setting Tape" is exactly what we're looking for and there are a pile of links http://www.cooperstandardperformance.com/content/rubber-glass-setting-tape The product we have is called "Everseal" and there are different manufacturers. Searching 'everseal' is not productive because it's a...

    302 Oil pan Gasket

    302 Gaskets That's probably what we need to do and its an art in patience. Got any advice on the best way to do it? This kit found me then was left open and got a little smoke damage from a little fire. This box is not labelled but is about 2 feet long 10" wide and 1 3/4" tick if someone...

    503 error

    The solution is simply sending a message to the administration and the robots at the top, that never sleep, fix it. It happened to me when I tried to load a pile of pictures, maybe loaded 11 instead of 10, maybe hit 'submit reply' and 'manage attachments' at the same time, or the shaw bots took...

    302 Oil pan Gasket

    Engine Gaskets for G749 There are still G749 engine kits out there somewhere. MVPA Supply line has a few guys listed that carry parts and it's worth making the calls and hustling these guys out to the sea-cans. The schematic might help a little and I have read that the 302's and 270's share a...

    G749 Preservation I thought they looked odd and threw them on a shelf for now. We'll get a chance to compare soon .....but first, :beer::beer:......a toast to the G749 series of trucks. This must be one of the most widely "re-purposed" former military vehicles on the planet. If you guys have...
