speedo adapter Looks like the adapter used on the A3

That's helpful. Thanks JC

Running is always good. Is it from a private owner? If so it should be turn key if sold as is. If your recovering it from a Gov't site, take the above mentioned tools/equipment. Always check the fluids and it's only diesel fuel after that.

Congrats on your new truck, If is running, you're ahead of the game. If not I would bring everything! Actually, I'd take fresh fuel, batteries/charger, tire tools/inflator and fluids. Don't forget the credit card. Good luck, let us know how it went. JC

What are some better woods for the racks. I have the same plan on my list. Probably paint to match instead if natural finish. CAD file will be very helpful. JC

Teach her to drive it. ( it may come in handy). Then when you get a second truck, she gets the choice on which one she gets to drive. Complete the ensemble with camo pants and tech boots. After a while the trucks just blend into the background.

Ospho??? similar to acid etch?

Yoda, Read the posts, glad you made it. Still waiting word on my engine issue. Have fun w/ your new unit. JC

Real interested on how the pressure sanding will turn out. I am going to start on a well weathered '73 M35A2 real soon. Keep us posted on the water sand blasting process. Good luck and take pictures. JC

A little maintenance goes a long way, my -A3 runs like a top, CTIS work as advertized. Engine will start in the dead of winter within two seconds of starter engagement. Find the Meyer tool kit for the engine and read up on it. They (Cat eng) will last forever. Oh, if I want to go fast, I...

Register it as a classic/antique vehicle, also insure it that way.

Congrats on your first MV. Nice truck, make a list and start with the small stuff because it gets worse. Just look at everyone's list of the big stuff. Welcome and have fun, keep the kids engaged. JC

Oh yeah, start making a list of a few of the little thing you'll need, congrats on you first MV.

-and I thought my trucks were big....nice tank!

My bad, 923. Never loan your truck to anyone....

Mmmm, another 931 being parted out?

JC Nice work. I have a 73 M35 that I'm going to start on this summer. It needs about the same level of restoration. What brand of paint are you applying? JC

What was the thickness of the second shim, I getting ready to do the same. JC

-to many trucks, I got to go check my deuce, maybe it is electric and the 5 ton is direct sending.

Crack the fitting open at the indicator, be carefull, don't make a mess. Cold engine/cold oil should be around 60 psi. Once it is hot it will drop.
