. I believe the best source for that answer would be @patracy

. There are less and less of them these days, but if you can find a real radiator shop - with an old guy in charge - who knows about soldering leaks you might be able to repair what you have. IMO, if the first thing they try to do is sell you a new radiator - just drive away. Here in our town...

. There are pretty good options for battery switching at Summit Racing.

. Welcome to the Outfit! Don't hesitate to download the TM's (Technical Manuals) for your MEP. Lots of information and almost continuous discussions about Mobile Power around here. Maybe create yourself a thread with pictures. Often times the guys will spot something "that ain't quite right"...

. If you happen to come across a stash of the thin copper plate(s) that actually "makes the sound" I would love to have a few.

. I know I have said it before - but @IRIS_Always is a really wonderful lady! Always willing to work a little magic for you. So neat...

. Welcome to the Outfit! That's a sharp looking truck too by the way. She looks freshly painted. Need to create yourself a thread and load up a nice round of pictures. That will give you the chance to show it off - and let the rest of us ogle your New-To-You truck. The TM's (Technical...

. Neat! That gets you close enough that a trip to Monroe for things like the Wings Over Monroe show two weeks ago. There is generally a small contingent of military vehicles on display at the front gate. I have done a few parades here in the big city and now that the WooFlu seems to slowly...

. Welcome to the Outfit! Be sure to create a new thread for your New-To-You truck. You'll be surprised how it morphs over time... Again, welcome to the group.

. Definitely Right! We ran our sign shop with a router and a skill saw with good metal cutting blades / bits. Upgraded to a Panel Saw (skill saw on a trolly) to keep cuts square. Eventually a home made Router Table was built too. Finally just before the WooFlu hit, we bought a CNC powered...

. Yessir. Perfectly good. Difference is that floating through the air and something goes wrong - and that can be a really bad day. That exact same part on the ground... Not nearly as much of a problem. :cool:

. Yessir, you still have a long way to go - but darn - it sure is coming together nicely!

. It really amazing what a body can do with a little help. Working out in the yard by yourself - wears a body out! Glad to see that you made some good progress over the holidays!

. Another good option here in North Carolina is Farm Bureau. State Farm is good too. Both write a commercial policy - mostly because of the size of the vehicle, but it won't need to be tagged as a commercial vehicle. Don't be surprised when the first Agent that you talk to says no... Keep...

. Parts "going bad" on the inside is wicked stuff! Glad somebody was able to get you to the hospital quickly. I'v had a few friends with that problem. Basically the Doc cuts you open, pulls out your parts, soaks up the bile and general nastyness, removes the appendix, then dumps your parts...

. Yes sir! That is what that product or something like it was made for. You might find a problem before the oil looks like mud.

. If the truck is blowing bubbles into the coolant, the leak is pretty bad. I'm sure there are other brands - but what about this? (About $10)

. A lot of equipment dealers will give whatever they buy a steam cleaning. Washes off all the evidence of a needed repair though... Smarter folks "Spidey Senses" will get activated on a perfectly clean machine. (Minor Edit: I forgot the word "dealer" in the first line.)

. Wow!! Sharp looking in its finished form! Can't wait to see the inside when you get that finished.

. @Mainsail , Definitely a different generation. Or maybe mom and dad just hand out money these days rather than letting "junior" earn his or her own. Used to be that there were lots of kids that were willing to cut grass, clean gutters, rake leaves, and deal with snow. Snow around here -...
