    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    Mike, situations change. If you are bringing a trailer just to bring my trailer box, leave it behind. No one can predict murphy or tough times. No harm, no foul.

    Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

    I did my rear brake lines last month. Yeah, they are super tight in there. Still need to swap the master cylinder and bleed it. Might make andedicated bleed wrench for them.

    Looks mean Brett. Did you do the double spacers on a chassis cab axle to get the tires on? I hope to work on mine a little this winter. Heat and injuries have kept me off the playing field for many months.

    If John can scare up another boarding ladder, he can back the 37 out of the long truck.

    SSGR14 Engine and Bed Swap

    Any way you like Roy. The body is much easier to balance without it but we can handle it either way.

    SSGR14 Engine and Bed Swap

    The bed we are swapping is the older M887 bed. It has some peculiarities for slinging. Below is the best way I've found. It requires 30' straps which we will have. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?41090-Contact-Maintenance-Trailer&highlight=m887

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    The foam came from American Classic Truck Parts. The foam comes from the distributer in NV. Not heavy but due to size not cheap to ship. Tye seat cover is new surplus that I got from member mwmules. He has them listed on ebay but a direct PM would work too. Anyone going to the GA Rally could...

    SSGR14 Engine and Bed Swap

    Ron, we are swapping beds between a contact maintenance truck and a cucv pickup. The contact bodies are peculiar to lift. Sped is bring 2 sling straps of sufficient length. Other than that, normal rigging stuff that we should have.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Well, I finally took on the challenge of rebuilding the seat bottom of my M1008. It's been sitting with nondrivers glass for months and the seat cover was worn away along with half the foam.I got a new seat bottom fabric from mvmules and order new foam. The job wasn't difficult and the end...

    SSGR14 Engine and Bed Swap

    I will have normal hand tools and a complement of Milwaukee M12 and M18 cordless tools. I have a deuce clutch alignment tool for the endine swap. As far as the bed swap goes, I think Tom and I have everything for that. I also have a decent 12V compressor on board.

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    Any idea what you are looking for Robert. If you post up sizes we might be able to collect up some of the stuff you desire. Harbor Freight has some bolt and nut assortments. They are low grade but would seemingly be fine for door panels and interior work. You really need to walk a Harbor...

    There just has to be a reasonable injection shop in the DFW area. Is the truck in Temple or are you still in LA?
