. Absolutely! Even just sitting there - it looks cool!

. banditt1979 Make them do their job there at the department of motor vehicles... You have the real VIN stamped there on the frame. Don't add numbers to it and just stand there quietly - making them have to figure it out. Most have "Process and Procedures" guidelines and/or books. They just...

. Looking mighty fine!

. Curiosity thing... The fire departments and crash trucks in particular that are "armed" with AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) have discovered that the old material is bad for your health. AFFF contains (contained) PFOS and PFOA. Those two groups hoave been found to be carcinogenic...

. Thanks porkysplace ! That is a lot better than the little offering that I posted for Robtstee

. Gen 1 and Gen 2 are different (or should be different from a normal Chevy alternator). Both must have an Isolated Ground and that is pretty important. Picture attached EDIT: Both Alternators are isolated ground and Both are the same. Thanks for the correction MarcusOReallyus

. No joke... A set of GOOD safety Glasses. I never will forget as a youngster when I dropped the jackshaft from between the transmission and the transfer case onto my face. Young and Dumb, I was wiggling a long screwdriver between the universal joint and the flange that it bolted to...

. Having an old Air Force Missile Alert Facility to take something to sounds like LOADS of fun! I have seen tons of videos of folks buying one and turning it into a home. Might be able to kiss your own backside goodbye if there is ever a "civil disturbance" with nukes on the other side of the...

. Just be careful... Make it too difficult to remove the plug - and these weasels will just poke a hole in the bottom of your tank - get the fuel they can carry, and let the rest dump out on the ground. Kinda like a lock on a door if the vehicle has a rag top... .

. How would you make out the check to buy one? Maybe to Taliban America, LLC :cool: .

. I am using several of the kits that @98G sold in the SS Parts For Sale section for my trucks. These are first class boxes and cables. They work really well and were reasonably priced too!

. Heck of a deal - even with suprisingly high shipping. You won't get a custom made cover for a hundred bucks to your door. IF IT FITS your truck.

. Good plan. Currently raining here so maybe tomorrow it will dry up and I can measure a couple of things that I have.

. Cant' swear to it, but I believe most trucks have some "m number" piece that is the turret base. Even in more modern days, each truck seems to have a different turret. Possibly measure yours and post it here. From outside edge to edge. Some of us have stuff that we could measure and...

. A ping pong ball works (used to work) really well in passenger cars. Shreds of wax coated cup does sound like it would work really well...

. If you need a bonnet and can't find one, I would suggest that a Boat Cover manufacturer could easily create something that could be tied on. Gotta assume (know what happens when you assume!?) that there is a lip that sticks up above the deck of the roof that you could tie to... For a little...

. Not exactly... Those rubber based Torque Rods are less of a problem when the truck is driven regularly. That rubber dries out and the more it sits around "and isn't exercised" the more failures. Old worn out rubber is going to break away from the steel they (that) are molded into. I have...

. @chucky I like the part about responsibility... Definitely adds up to what most folks need to do in most cases!

. I would say that your co-pilots had a big adventure in the big truck! .

. Most hydraulic hose that I have seen on Military wreckers have JIC fittings on them. And there are "skive" type connectors so you can (more or less) screw them onto the new rubber hose. BE SURE that you get real hydraulic hose that is hose inside of a wire braid and should be rated at 3000#...
