    What axle gear oil to use?

    A lot of the premium or name brand regular lube also has the friction modifier additive but check the label to make sure. Some of the no name or store name lube does not have the additive.

    X in Model Numbers

    X is not only used for vehicles in a limited post prototype production. It is also used for weapons. When I was in the Army I was an armorer. One of my weapons was an xm16e1. This was the same thing as the m16a1 and had the same features. It is not quiet experimental for the trucks we see hear...

    what colors used in 3 color current camo scheme

    I have heard of others getting the carc. I do not know personally if it is available for private purchase or not. I can't see why it would be restricted. The only thing that makes it special is it's ability to not let chemicals soak in. It is not like it is radar reflective or something...

    Where is that great Deuce VIN Database?

    Lee, Getting both plates does not automatically mean it will work. You also have to make sure no other year plate is being used with the same numbers. This is the hard part. When you run the plate number on the computer they want just one vehicle to come up. If you were close enough I would...

    Where is that great Deuce VIN Database?

    Lee, As long as you are getting it registered as a historic vehicle using any 1970 plate should work. The only plate you can not use is a government plate from that year. Pickup or truck plates are kind of a falacy. For years trucks were plated with commercial plates. The truck plates you are...

    Where is that great Deuce VIN Database?

    Lee, Pick a year within the range for your make and stick to that year. I can tell you right now that SOS Lansing will never find any listing for Kaiser-Jeep much less your vin. The records they are talking about pertain to vehicle made for registered use on the road. Do not go the route of the...

    name that tank retriever

    The shells seem to suggest it has a rotary engine. 12 gauge blanks were used to start some older rotary engines on airplanes.

    when is enough enough

    Send him a return receipt requested letter giving him 30 days to pick the stuff up or dispose of the property. I would then resell it to recoupe your costs for the storage. This is like a landlord putting property at the curb when he clears out an apartment in an eviction. The guy was not paying...

    M model?

    Almost right is like being almost a lottery winner. Like I said it has been a few years. I just did a column change on my Ford I was like I explained. I had forgotten about the bolt on the chevys. I also went out to get a lockplate tool and the ford does not have one. It is built into the...

    M model?

    Is the switch bad or is the "lock cylinder" bad. The switch is mounted lower on the column and can be accessed by dropping the column down. No steering wheel removal is needed. The lock cylinder is where the key goes and this is what alot of people mistakenly call the ignition switch. The lock...

    Anyone headed to Selfridge?

    I think Armada said he was going next week. Check with him. If not I may be able to try and go in two weeks if the auction is not ended by then. Sorry, no tractor to pick up for you. I may be able to store for you.

    trailer loadout

    When I was at training at Bragg in the early 90's it was an open post. No gates at all. Just drive on post. I was stationed at Fort Campbell at the time and this was a closed post which meant we had to have go through one of the gates. Has Bragg changed that much lately? Some areas like the...

    My New Webpage

    The half tracks are tops in my wish list. I did see one near me on Ebay. It was an M2 with a drag crane on it. I just could not figure out how to get rid of the crane and get back armor on my limited budget. I could afford to buy it but not restore it. When I make my millions I am going to buy a...

    Light Rust and Paint Prep

    How much did this cost and where did you take it? Mine looks like someone was hauling gravel in it since the bed is not flat. I don't know if I want to invest to much time in this bed. If the cost to blast it is alot I may just get a new bed then do the prep work on it.

    Thanks. I am not going to be able to take time off to look at it. Did it at least look complete? I ran up near you on the way to the Birch Run Gun Show last weekend. Thanks Chuck
