That'd be neat. It is about a 3-4 hour drive from Durhamtown to Unicoi, though. But it'd keep us out of the pool hall...

When you add the frame extension on the back, are you going to shift the axles back any? I mean you're going to have a good bunch of bed behind the axles, as opposed to having the axles pretty near the center of the bed as on the M813s... Just a question. Can't wait to see more pictures...

Just hang it right under the dash.

Dang, you're sure making progress! I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one with an obstacle-course of a workspace.

The closest would be from XM designation to M- designation as they shifted to full contract production, and then the A1 ISO-bed equipped trucks, but there were no major changes, as in powerplant or structural changes. Until the 939 series, that is.

Glad you were able to stop her before you became a genuine certified "former" pyrotechnician. I hope you are able to get her all sorted out. No fun having a non-running truck sitting there staring you in the face.

heck, for 1700, if it runs, and you got a place to keep it and work on it, go for it! That's an excellent price.

That's when Gimpy's cut up power poles come in handy... just stack them on top of the jack. When you max out the jack, pop the jack stands under, release the jack, add another block on top of it, and have at it again. Used this to jack a tractor up off the ground that had fallen off jackstands...

+1 TenTires- There was one heck of a thread on this a while back, I went digging but couldn't seem to find it. I remember someone recommending a Caterpillar 24-Volt keyed shutoff switch. Try punching something like that in search and see if anything comes up. The rest of you- Cool off. If you...

The temp. gauge sender is a plug that is located in the back of the block, just below the head, on the driver's side of the motor. It is hard to get to because of the oil filter. Mine is a strange plug thing that is screwed in the top of the bypass elbow on the top of the water pump. It is...

That's a pretty smart idea. The ole man and his friends did a similar thing with a cut out hole in their exhaust pipes pre-muffler and some wing nuts, on their Buicks and things back around 1958. Good way to be able to choose whether you hear the "music" or not!

Yep. Seeing as this rally is generally in the end of September into October, it should not interfere with the National one.

They are Non-Directional. You can run them all facing them the right way, and then when you need you can rotate them. Won't look perfect, but, you know...

Yeah, they've pulled out a bunch of StuGs out of like Estonia and other countries around there. It's neat to see a German-captured T34/76 pulled out, I remember seeing this a while ago. There were some videos somewhere.

When I'm at the new home page (steelsoldiers.com/index.php), on the right side of the screen, the "Recent Threads" box in the center covers up/conflicts with the "Random Picture" and "Random Classifieds" boxes. I am running Firefox 3.0.4, at 1440x900 resolution on my Samsung 19" widescreen...

Yeah, you could also give AB Linn a call up in NC. He's been working on these trucks for most of his life...

Great video, I finally watched it. One heck of an M37. The Air Force'd be getting a good guy with him.

looks almost like Marine Forest Green...

The deuce has a pretty small cab. (At least for someone 6') And, besides, what vehicle is it easy to work under the dash on?

When I have a day to kill, I think a trip out in your direction is more than justifiable.
