The Deuce tips & Tricks indicates DOT 5 is the milspec brake fluid. I think DOT 3 is the cililian brake fluid that is often used. (Somebody correct me if I've screwed up!)

And we would f course be remiss if we didn't mention that our sponsor has these items for about $20 - $25. (Maybe I could sneak these items into the family budget as "yard tools.")

Can I be naive and hope that the HazMat fees for paint of about $20 are per SHIPMENT, or is it per GALLON? Talked with a local paint source and they were quoting $40/quart or $120/gallon. Ouch!

Da nada, and happy (upcoming) Cinquo de Mayo!

My truck was manufactured as a M35A2 WO/W in 1971 and is set up with headlights in the lower holes, BO light in the upper driver's side and what I guess is a horn in the upper co-driver's side. (At some point someone installed two-tone air horn trumpets under the hood.)

We'll have to work towards a visit this summer - I'm only three weeks from the end of nursing school and looking forward to a little time for projects of MY chosing!
