M.Ellis That looks pretty sharp! They seem to hold the hood up almost straight.
It even looks like the wind wind would have to work hard to shove the hood down on your head...
.
That is no fun at all...
On the bright side, at least you have a machine to help what would otherwise be a really miserable thing.

Problem that fixes itself is great.
So long as it doesn't come back to bite you later.
Might just be that whatever sprayed it with solved it long term - or...

When something goes wrong on the highway, we get a lot more attention in these trucks than a hot rod car. The DOT folks pull out the rule book and start looking for a reason. The hot rod gets picked up and put on a rollback and is driven away. The highway man and DOT inspectors start...

Yes Sir!
What the TM does NOT tell you is to index the Zerks!
Aligning all the grease fittings on the U-Joint so everything can be greased all at one time...
Much less rolling back and forward is a royal pain - especially when you know you (me) caused it...

I worked for an engineer that was absolutely "bent" on not using split (lock) washers. We built whatever he dreamed up, so "no split washers" were used on hos projects. I would imagine that properly torqued fasteners will most likely work even with split washers. However (and his...

Well then... Welcome to the outfit!
You have a nice looking truck.
The big plus is that it has a hard top.
It looks to me like your new-to-you should be able to make a nice contribution to your business...

That black knob has the look of a rheostat. The toggle and that switch doesn't appear to be military just from outward appearances. There aren't a whole lot of electric brakes on military trailers either. I agree with Action 's suggestion about tracing the wires to really figure out what...
.
Well, that generally sucks.
On the other hand you got it fixed.
Best part is that since YOU found the problem and fixed the problem and paid for the parts with your money - chances are the NOT A STEP step won't ever be used as a step again.
.
Nail on the head... I am in a similar situation. My garage is the great outdoors...
Not a lot of fun when it rains, when it is miserable hot, or miserable cold.
.
Well then... Congratulations on your new-to-you truck! Welcome to the outfit too!
You might do a lot better taking pictures of the full dash plates. Using the serial number data on a 40 or 50 year old truck might be a "tough sell" in any meaningful way. It is definitely a 5-Ton (looking...

Don't hesitate to get in your regular passenger vehicle - and come on down! You will meet people and there might be parts that you need too. No shipping that way. If you ordered the shafts from @country they might be able to bring them to the rally for you. Even if you can't spend but a...

I am still trying to find the words written in black and white. I don't dig in that book very often. I thought the pump pressure was 25psi but I may be wrong. I was able to find notes talking about rail pressure though... The red arrow is a point after the Booster Pump.
Fuel Pressure...

I can't argue with that - but I don't have to like it. :-(
Sad part is that you still need the bigger building...
I could unleash a stream of words about the tax man, but would be a waste of the air that the rest of us breathe.
I am pretty certain that we could spend our money more...
.
Good deal! Definitely the smart way to go.
If you haven't already cranked or tried to crank it, you might want to inspect the fuel tank really well before you try to fire it off. If you open the fuel filler and it stinks rather than like good gas, it might be worth avoiding slurping "gunk"...
.
Well that isn't good (obviously). Carter makes an inline that creates enough pressure. frank8003 is a good source for parts information and at one point in time developed a fuel polishing application for the Deuce. I feel pretty sure he can give you the proper pressure measurements. He may...
.
Well happy lurking before - and a big Welcome to the Outfit now as a Member!
Need to create yourself a thread with lots of pictures so you can have before and after shots. That way when you feel like you have been busting your hump for months - and nothing looks any different - you will...
