Here's a pic comparing Krylon's '1809 - School Bus Yellow' from Napa to original yellow bridge plate numbers. The Krylon is the darker one in the middle with the green along the bottom. Looks darker, more orange than the pic of the front of Armada's truck... (Is that not Krylon?)
I'm not sure...
Hi Group,
Peter (pcbowman) picked up his new freshly painted deuce on Monday in Moreno Valley, CA and then drove it up Cajon Pass to pick up some parts from Walker's here in Hesperia. We met up at my house and drove over to Walker's in our deuces. Here's the previous thread on Peter's deuce...
Wow! The arrest and search was almost a year ago now. I wonder what the outcome was? Did it get settled out of court? I'm surprised the business is still open.
Sounds like they are exaggerating the extent of the contamination a little bit to me... the article says 1,4- dichlorobenzene was...
Couple things...
I ended up using Chevron's DELO coolant (only available from Chevron Lubricant dealers) - it's pre-mixed 50/50 with water and has the 'SCA' additives already in it. I don't know that it's better than mixing it up yourself but it's easier.
I was also not satisfied with the...
Kinda ugly, isn't it?
I'd much rather have the crane on a deuce chassis (not a M108, though I'd like one of them, too!) that was recently discussed / sold on GSA...
Drug dealers can pretty much be counted on to be excellent neighbors - They don't want any trouble / attention brought their way! It's their customers you've got to worry about... Breaking into your car, stealing anything not cemented down.
Freight Train - Why did you get discouraged from...
Well, if I paid $150+ for a manual, I'd recoup that cost, and probably more, by making some high quality spiral bound reprints. If there's that much demand you'd be helping fellow hobbyists while you help yourself. 8)
I wish I could be so lucky... I'd take 'em all! My yard would be full of trucks = Instant truck parts business and/or big collection. They're probably worth ~$500 each in scrap steel.
What kind of tach drive would be used on a gasser and where would it connect to the engine? It would be convenient if the same drive as a multifuel could be driven off the cam gears...
I'd appreciate that, Jeff... I did find a can of school bus yellow today, but they also had 'old caterpillar yellow' and 'new caterpillar yellow'... all three seemed to be very close, I'm curious which is closest to NOS. School bus yellow actually does NOT seem to be a prefect match to the...
Portrayal Press has reprints of all the appropriate manuals...

They're kinda expen$ive - TM 9-8022 is $69, but that's the only source except eBay, and if it shows up on there, you'll be bidding against me 'cause I'm looking for one too! :D I'll probably break down...
Here is the other post on the subject, if you hadn't found it already:

I still have not got the paint, my local Napas seen to carry 'caterpillar yellow' and 'original equipment yellow'... Maybe I'll order a few cans of...
My truck has the belts it came with from the government, they have NSN numbers on them. I have to have the alt. pushed all the way up to where it's touching the lower radiator hose just to slip them on and off. When tightened, there's still a few inches of adjustment room left...
Are we talking about putting this in the fuel tank or the crankcase? I'm for burning it and agree with Will - Dilute with diesel and go for it, as long as the alcohol isn't separating in the drum...

The aluminum Detroit Diesel 3-53 is unique to the Goats and is not at all the same as a civilian cast-iron 3-53. Adelman's has Goat engines for a pretty good price if anyone needs one.
