We've marked our calendar for those dates including telling the inlaws that we need to use the house 30 mi or so north in Locust Valley. Also made reservations to have the Blue Flu on Friday - mebbe the symptoms will show up Wed. night. Asked another guy yesterday if he'd run with us in his...

Resuming Shake Down - Transmission Terms & TM Pointers, please Friday the work was finished: Boots, front seals & bearings packed. Water pump replaced along with all hoses and belts and the radiator sent out for cleaning, pressure test and repair. No leaks when running but it was very muddy...

Wow! Fast! Thanks very much. Next stop, foundation site.

I really liked 'the view from the top.' Neat!

Wings & Wheels in NJ Too Anyone in the metro NYC area can usually see and tour several WWII bombers, and even pay big bux for a ride in a B-17 at Wings and Wheels next month at Teterboro airport (right down the hill from my house.) It's a yearly event and well worth seeing. I haven't been...

I'm running down the cutoff switch threads. Several look very good for my purposes. Didn't know that Google syntax trick. Great for more than electrical cutoffs. There's no way you'll beat the serious vehicle thieves in the NYC/Sopranos part of NJ. If they want it, they'll get it...

Being in a metro area where the truck could be an attractive target for joyrides and mischief, I've been looking for a good theft deterant or combination. I settled on a combination. I haven't been impressed by the electric shutoffs I've seen because they seem ridiculously easy to beat and...

Thanks. Email sent. BTW. Your truck is really nice. It'll be a while for mine to get there.

Thanks for this post. I appreciate a candid post from a semi-g owner. The paint thing is still very up in the air while I get through the mechanical shake down/fix up now underway. I'm still waiting for some test cans from Rapco (finishing my collection of at least 1 of every base color...

Thanks all. It has been on the truck for about 3 weeks and there's been no reason for concern. However, with items like this from EBay where its operation is transparent, I wanted to make sure something was happening. I was surprised when I saw the reading. The explanation and especially...

I jjust wanted to make sure this new unit is working so put a Fluke on the [unconnected] terminals and the unit gave several readings between 44 - 46v. The Solargizer is marked 24v. That seemed high unless the low amps offset it. I was expecting it to be something like an alternator at about...

The 60 in 51-60 will soon disapper in the rear view mirror.

I figured someone would post: nopics so I made another attempt at uploading them.

Good News, Bad News, Good News, Bad News . . . Good News: Last Friday evening, I looked at the blown boot and noticed all the lube splatter had dried out and there was no dripping anyplace. Figured I'd test the theory that the seals had gone and the boot blew from diff oil degenerating the...

I thought you were just asking for getting it on the road. Didn't realize you wanted to keep original. I'm told that there are 12V bulb replacements but before I could find the number I decided to go the easy way and put on the civilian harness. I'm sure someone here knows those bulb numbers...

My A2 doesn't have a crank on the landing gear. It's a fold-down. I put a Reese jack on it from TractorSupply that has paid for itself many times over, cheaper than the next item. A3 crank reproductions are available on EBay. I think they're a regular item - easy to search. I bought a...

What to do with the uncut zipper? Couldn't find this piece in the other posts with the advice. In attempting to follow this instruction, I'm having trouble figuring out how to leave the long end that isn't cut. Do I fold it up away from the kingpin and reassemble, leave it lay flat and...

Just learned about this. Unfortunately, my truck won't be ready for the trip this weekend to support you but I wish your group all the best for a great turnout and weather. I've also visited the group's site and left some info there. Steve (Altoona, Class of '69, still some family there)...
