. Thanks @Elijah95 ! THAT ability to help others is really why we all have the toys that we do. Glad you were able to make it happen. Knowing people and being able to ask for help is pretty wonderful too. Glad that you were able to Get'r Done!

. I think that is a good plan.

. Interested to see what you get back @Paraord . I had a lot of interest stirred up last week when a parade down in Louisiana had a guy with a "bikini top" for his Deuce. It was just a simple white top - covering the top only. No Sides. Wouldn't work going faster than parade speeds...

. Nice!!

. Well, if you are going to replace the rubber hoses - because they are old and tired - and they more than likely are... It will definitely cost more to rebuild or replace the calipers, re-shoe the back and rebuild the wheel cylinders. Obviously brand new could be better. On the other hand...

. It looks to me like your boys will have a perfectly good MOBILE SANDBOX. It has wheels on it and everything. You could build them a roof on top of it and being mobile - it could be parked in the shade. If you decide to unload it, I think that job might wait until tomorrow. Whew! That is...

. Thanks Mike! Yes sir, top of the canvas. Top of the metal roof on the truck is dry and without holes .

. Thanks Simp! Seems that the military kits I found on-line were "enh". I did discover a kit for $125 at e-Pay. The important part for me is that the can of "sticky stuff" was labeled as HH-66 Vinyl Cement. Figure I can test it with some trimmings off a second tarp that is in really crummy...

. Sad but true. They punch a hole in the tank with a drill or hammer and screwdriver, get whatever "gas" you have and when their can fills up - they walk away... While the rest of the liquid gold runs across the yard (parking lot).

. I have three small holes about the size of your little finger near the top of of the truck. It is called "a canvas" but it is more like a rubberized material. Has anyone repaired one? Is a bicycle patching kit an option?

. Yeah @dodgemain , what Tobash suggested please. My version is Be Specific to Be Terrific and the guys can definitely be more helpful. Don't take it personal... Just trying to help us understand a little better.

. A lot of really goofy things can be done, but a 16.5 tire won't fit and seal to the rim of a 16 inch rim.

. I hate a damn thief. Ignorance can be improved on with time. Stupid I can deal with and might be fixable too... But a thief is just inexcusable!

. Welcome to the Outfit! Seems like you already know that we are "Picture Hounds" and you have already contributed to feed that need :) . Have to agree, being able to back up the truck - hook it up and go - is absolutely the best trailer camping choice. Would love to see what you come up...

. @1944mb , If I had some, they would be all yours... Hate to say I have none

. I am not certain about a design flaw - but I sure haven't seen many out for public consumption. Might be worth a look for the civilian version and see if there are any out there...

. Some give up slowly, other engines go away with a hard loud "thump" and it stops dead (literally). I have had a piston rod look like somebody reached in and grabbed a handful of metal - snatched it out through the oil pan - and the motor kept running.

. Hi Matt, Welcome to the Outfit! So, you were given the information about the TM's (Technical Manuals) by @Barrman . He has been doing this for a while. Good guy to help solve some of your issues. What if you gather a few pictures and post them here? A few of the outside - just because we...

I went there and I see they have a section of troubleshooting starting at 5 blinking lights. They instruct to check the manifold valve vent as the first item. Now this is a multipart question: 1: Is there a TM I should be looking at as well that will give an overview of the air system? 2: Is...

. Sometimes a spin around the yard in the project truck just needs to happen. Like a reward for working on it. :cool:
