    Fuel Restrictions

    I've come across a lot of trucks with crimped fuel lines! It's sad but true, usually underneath where the "mechanics" were too lazy to crawl underneath and find.

    CARC question?

    No problem painting over the CARC. I do advise using a sealer though, as the CARC seems to act like a sponge to most paints especially the desert colors.

    Need help updating the website...

    Hey, ya know, that brings up a neat idea, what about some kind of a help net type thing? Say someone is passing through in a MV, I've been fortunate when going through Wyoming one year had trouble with the CUCV starting (sub zero temps) and the National Gaurd guys were nice enough to slave start...

    Who broke the site?

    The new modifications on the home page look great, but when i click on forums it opens it up in this teeny tiny sidebar. Had to right click on forums and open in new window to get it to work<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_nono.gif" alt="No-no"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_tongue.gif" alt="Tongue">

    M43B1 or??????

    I lucked out then with mine<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool"> Not a spec of rust anywhere. Maybe it's the metallic green civvy paint that some hippie painted it. This one was last licensed in 1977!

    Electrical Connections

    I've always used surplus silicone grease and never had any problems. sure makes them slide together easier too and back apart should you ever need to pull them apart again.

    USMC markings on M43?

    Every m43 I've seen so far has had US Army markings on it. Anyone have any photos of how the Marine Corps did theirs up? If I painted it in Army colors the family would disown me. Semper Fi<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool">

    Windshield Wiper Air Hose

    Quieter??? Every one I had with a hardtop echoed like crazy in there. Anyway, just about every truck I've had the hose was in fact too short. Maybe due to shrinkage over the years?? I had some that were long enough but had been on there forever and had split ends so I did like you say and cut...

    M43B1 or??????

    This ambulance I picked up has the data plate as being a M43B1 issue 1964. Now from what I have been reading it should have the rubber type elecrical connectors, but it has the metal ones? Is this correct?

    M36?

    A friend of mine out here has been talking about selling his. Don't know how much he's asking. It's been stored indoors for years, but every so often pulls a load of hay in from the fields.
