Sadly I don't have a lot of pics of Bertha over the last year.... 😀😄😁 I can't even say that with a straight face! Here is a camping trip: Everything loaded: The "cargo" area ready for bed: We also took a 220 mile trip to see several SS members for the Kilo 19 Memorial Day Walk in...

Good luck!!!

Hey bud, got around to testing with my IR camera. Whatever driving you'll be doing, it won't be fast. It may be my camera wasn't as sensitive as a set of GI IR goggles, but I had the best results from the bumper mounted lights. Here's a video, it may still be processing...

I'll see Friday when I go look better at it. I don't know that it will though, she's pretty chewed up.

Great looking truck!

Yesterday was kind of a smorgasbord of tasks. I installed the new MC Replaced the brake hydraulic switch And while under there found a nail that needs to be replaced with a pin A little digression... This past weekend, a friend of mine told me "I have an old army truck at the house you...

Yesterday was tail light assemblies.... considering my fabrication skills are somewhere between a chimpanzee that had a stroke and a 4 day old banana peel, I think I did ok. I **do** have to move the passenger side one down and out about 1/4". I also had to build a jumper to allow the...

That's no worse than my buddy and I troubleshooting fuel to the M715 for an hour until we realized we hadn't reconnected the feed line after changing the sending unit... Humility is an admirable trait and your story is a reminder to all of us to sit back and think a minute when troubleshooting...

Is it supposed to have the clip things like on the hood of the M series cargo trucks?

Johnny Cash "One Piece At A Time" is on a loop in my head..... Pulled the wheels to check the brakes, other than dirt and gunk they were in pretty decent shape, so I cleaned everything up and put them back together (That is before cleaning them) In the midst of that job, a package came...

Mine has no shroud either. I'm not stressing it

Very nice job bud! I was tearing into my brakes yesterday and today. Woof.... rust is a mess! Have you installed your floor switch yet? That was one of the first things I did. What a PITA! Your build is coming along nicely!

All good my friend!

Gauges and lights work!

What's interesting in THIS thread you explained how to tell the difference between an aluminum block and iron block in the Detroit 353. So... did they come with an aluminum block or not? You seem pretty sure that they did in the other thread and didn't in this thread...

This is a diode symbol: This is the symbol on the drawing: I'm aware of what a diode symbol looks like. The author of the drawing used a basic connector symbol. I'm also sure all of the black circles are connectors. I'm pretty sure there aren't diodes at each gauge, the distributor, the...

Today was driveline and more electrical. Pulled the drive shafts to put new u-joints in and decided to clean them up. Installed them and decided to give it a spin Next is working on stopping!

Probably. It's a civilian 12v so... 🤷‍♂️ I may root around and see if I can find, modify and attach a hydraulic one.

Today was a banner day! Figured out the issue with the alternator. I don't need to use pin 3. That solved the constant power issue I had. Next was trying to fire her up. We checked for spark, but alas, no love. We adjusted the points and still no fire. Then I remembered an electronic...

I figured it out all. Thank you. I had used connection 3 when I didn't need to.
