I've not had to sand Behr before but I'd imagine it would as it's a latex base. That being said, there is some flexibility to the paint as it's meant for housing panels that will expand and move with temp, wind, etc so it should hold up to HMMWV hoods. I painted my previous M1123 with 383 green...
Most trucks I get are empty with the exception of an expired fire extinguisher or misc radio cables. A few times I've been lucky to find a 50 cal blank adapter or crusty torque multiplier but those are few and far between. The one unique time was a Kuwaiti Mountain dew bottle and a petrified...
Got these two girls in yesterday. Both "non-runners" and by that I mean city employees don't understand or care so they sell them as such. The dump needs a few Q2 valves and the M923 needs an air dryer, air tank, and driver door. They're a little crusty but engines are solid. Anyone parting a...
I have a fair amount of hours on these units but it's been a year or so since I've even thought about one. Try holding one of the top toggle switches (it always looked like a book to me) and move the lever back and forth simultaneously. Do you know any history on this machine? These 624Ks were...

Well this friend (and I do mean friend) sweet talked me out of my new trailer. I got to keep the connex at least. I wish him well as it will be his home for the next 5 years. It will be SUCH a badass rig when he's done.
A customer now friend came in this week to build his dream truck. We started out with an M1078A1 w/w and changed it to a M1079A1 w/w. What a nice rare bird she is now. I upped the HP, set cruise control, and other things under the hood to wake her up too.
