. Looking on the drivers side of the truck - I see spark plug wires - so I am guessing you don't have a multi-fuel. Open the tank and give it a sniff? Way back when there was a kit to replace the Golden Comet (REO 330 Gas) with a 300ci Ford straight six) Color looks more Ford than I would...

. And it looks like your helper is out there getting trained up on tire maintenance... .

. I like your "lift kit". Nice and Orange and it looks like it may have been around for several days... :cool: .

. Remove the distributor cap. Look down inside and see if you see something similar. No, this isn't the real thing, but that barrel looking thing is the condenser and the points open and close as the shaft rotates in that hole in the center. In this picture the grayish bump towards the hole...

. Looking awful good. Almost seems like you can see the end of the running gear work. Stock / Factory without "rigging' is definitely a plus - and I'm proud to know you for it! .

. That tool box is perfect for that application. Almost makes me wonder if that was its original intent... .

. Depending on the model, weight is between 1200 and 1600 pounds. I almost wonder if you wouldn't be better off to slide the shelter off - and get it to a balance point on your dock - then pull forward with the truck. Hopefully you have something heavy (another vehicle?) to tie off to? You...

. Hello Pat, Welcome to the Outfit! The TM's that @Guyfang sent you will tell you a lot. In our group, he is the Official TM Nag :cool: The "LO" TM (Technical Manual) is the Lube Order book that describes what the military specifies for this unit for Oil and Filters and maintenance...

. Driver's Side allows you to fully "charge" the air system. Really good for finding leaky air lines, problems with CTIS, a pinhole in an air tank, leaky tank drain valves, poppet valves on a gearbox, and so on. (Everything powered by air should function) The passenger side applies the brakes...

. I'm on a computer too @M813rc and the pictures show on my desktop just fine. Being a dinosaur isn't necessarily a bad thing you know. Helps keep the troops in line... :-)

. Safety. If for some goofy reason the "daily driver" got uncoupled it might be possible to save that vehicle. On the other hand - if the to bar stuck straight down into the asphalt - that would be a wild ride for sure! On the other hand, no driver in the "daily driver" eliminates the...

. How about a blast from the past...

. Another small thing - just so you know - the 939 Series of trucks includes what you have and the others that look similar. A 936 for example is the "wrecker variant" in the 939 Series of trucks. Most of the things in the cab are the same in that line of vehicles. The -10 (Dash 10) TM...

. Try it now. You have the required 10

. With a gorgeous pair of Droopy Tailed Phantoms behind the fancy dodge... Sweet! Amazing that the one truck almost looks like Times Roman Bold - and the newer version is Helvetica Narrow

. My experience with these trucks is a piece of cardboard covering about half the radiator makes the old guy behind the wheel much happier in cold weather. Naturally it requires a functional temperature gauge - but in really cold weather - I never had to remove that cardboard. .

. For what it's worth, back in the days of the Linotype and the folks who built fonts for printers and their machines there was no Amarillo font. Now days, folks can create their own fonts and there are "paid" fonts and "free" fonts. A quick Web search finds "Amarillo USAF" fonts by the dozens...

. If I was laying under the truck - looking up from the bottom - the plug opposite the hose, I think I would be happy enough to fit a mechanical temperature sensor there. I see plenty of room for the wire (metal) to run safely there. Only question is the sensor. Will it fit in that hole...

. Thinking so, but I sure can't say for sure. If you haven't already headed to the store, draining some coolant and taking that plug with you might be a good plan.

. Take a look at this... There should be a plug on the water neck. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucv-m1009-temperature-gauge.204023/
