That schematic is for a very old wiring system. Chances are, your truck has a much later system with a much different turn signal arrangement. However, the wiring numbers will be the same. Complete knowledge of the three-lever light switch is necessary to understand the entire lighting system...

There was an obscure MWO for the G749 trucks, entailing fabbing a steel brace that bolts on the bottoms of the front spring towers between both sides. It looked like a two pieces of 1/2" flat, welded to a 1" dia steel bar. Hole in each piece of flat for the bolts. I saw these on Guard trucks...

I've had an Incinolet for years at our remote site. We had it in a homebrew motorhome for a while. It really sucks up the electrons when working, but the genset is fired up when using it, and it takes the 'residue' from two people for a week into a little saucepan-sized deal you empty...

I love old-school M105's. One (50's build date) is set up with 9.00-20 duals and extnended side boards to haul 2 yards of road base gravel. I just got a set of dump rams so will set it up with those so emptying will be a lot easier. Another (60's Anthony CO.) usually gets to store things...

Be careful, about 1600 lbs if I remember rightly. DG

It gets used for idiots that don't know about desert sand and caleche clay. I usually just tow them, but if it is really muddy after a Summer monsoon, I'll stay on hardpack and winch it. I make them pull the cable out and hook it "To something that won't come off"... DG

A side note: A friend in Yuma, AZ bought a $600K diesel motorhome, registered it in Oregon for little $. Got a ticket for being an AZ resident, driving it and not registering it in AZ. The plates woud've been in the thousands, so he paid the ticket in court. When told to get it registered...

In all her glory... With covid, not many road trips, so it gets to work around the property, pulling the well, lifting building materials, eTc. DG

A ststeside rebuild is cool. All were out-of-country with this one. Mine has a dropside bed, albeit it is 'rippled' from a lot of heavy loads. Prolly ammo for their 155's. I put on dual 76 gal tanks so I could make the Big Bear rally in Cal without having to stop for fuel--900mi one way...

I always just buy 'Brass Long Stem' radial tubes. They are easier to find and OK in bias tires. DG

Mine is a '67 Kaiser Jeep Corp, went to Nam when new. Rebuilt in Sagami, Japan in '75. Again in 84 in Nurnburg, only bumper #s are 1st Armored. It went to Desert Shield (B4 Storm) in a really crappy CARC paintjob it still has. The old girl has some history, I wish she could tell me her...

Ha! There isn't much 'stealth' with the old girl, but as they say, 'any port in a storm'. DG

Looks a bit like a re-incarnated Ford M656. DG

I use it in our vintage Benz Diesel cars with the 5-cyl turbo motors. Typically, the timing chain will need to be replaced when the stretch amounts to some 6 degrees, usually at the 100K marks. With syn oil, no stretch in some 300,000 miles, saving me a lot of work. In the 5-ton, I run syn...

You might think about a t-case from a Dodge 880 full-time 4WD...they have an internal diff. DG

Sure deal, planes landing causes a lot more hours on the lamps, but one doesn't get many opportunities to run the killers that much. I've only had one burn out over the years. DG

I saw the 195 target 20 or 30 years ago at YPG. DG

A foot away, one will set paper on fire in seconds... DG
