Adding grease to the steering knuckles is by way of a Zerk fitting on a block of metal held in place with 4 bolts. Grease fitting is in the middle of that plate on above the boots. Regular grease will make you (your wallet) and your truck happy.
Nice rubber boots will keep the grease inside...

We have a couple of members here that create "sticker sets" or "stencil sets" for jeeps and trucks. ePay is also loaded up with sets of stickers for former military vehicles.

I understand that the radio might have been a RT-524 or a R-442.
To be honest, that is just from reading that I have done on this site.
Hopefully @SCSG-G4 can give more technically correct answers.

The key is that "sitting around doing nothing" is actually harder on a vehicle than being driven daily. Almost like people. If you sit around and don't get up and move around - eventually you will grunt and groan when you try to stand up. And the longer you do that the worse it gets...

Welcome to the Outfit!

Have you tried pushing the palm of your hand onto the "exit" of the purge under (on the bottom) of the air dryer? Often times due to lack of maintenance or just general crud in the airlines - the little rubber flapper that opens and closes will get stuck open. Your palm on the exit will often...

Agreed. The only reason would be when the cable gets old and rusty and starts to "shape" itself to the drum. Maybe.
Mine spools on and off easily and rolls nicely - filling up the drum and starts to fill in the third or fourth row etc

I dunno. If you happen to scrape a piece of stained wood - a little stain will fix it like new. Paint on the other hand will be a lot more trouble...

Yes Indeed!!
Righty Tighty only works on the RIGHT side of the truck @kenn !
Also, if you have standard BUDD rims and tandems on the rear, they sometimes get seized and the outer and inner lugs will spin off together. Lots of penetrating oil will help separate them - or torch heat.
