    After getting her started, pre-tripping send ensuring everything was good, it was time to head home... Once home, I **needed** to wash her.. The first item of business was re-covering the seats. My sweet lady took the lead on this and bought the material, used the old fabric and created...

    This is Bertha. My 1990 M923A2. Her last unit was with the 115th Combat Support Hospital out of Fort Polk, La. After being auctioned, she landed with our very own @Trailboss where she sat for a while. I originally went to look at some deuces that he had for sale, but to get those girls where...

    I am truly humbled

    All- As most of you are aware, I've recently been blessed enough to get a 1952 M37 to restore. In the process of researching, I had come across the "Dodge M37 Restoration Guise" by Davis Ahl and had asked if anyone had a copy they would be willing to part with. @rtk Stepped up and gifted...

    Trust me! Yesterday I was reminded about how much heat a rusted bolt generates when you take it off!!!

    The man I bought from stated the regulator and rectifier kept getting really hot and he says he burnt up two sets of batteries so he changed it out and bypassed the externals. Any idea why? I **do** know he was using regular autozone batteries in it. I pulled them last night (they're completely...

    Recovery day today.... what a job!!! Got her home, pressure washed and started cleaning up... a few squirrels had taken up residence in the battery box and tool tunnel. I can already see I need to replace my drivers seat pan, rebuild the wooden base of the passenger seat and some body cancer...
