Yea been through two of the cheap China power grease guns and went back to the one you just squeeze your fist. Little better than the one with the long leaver handle. I had thought about buying the 120 pound drum of grease and the commercial air power unit when I had 30 trucks to do. Now I will...

Installed my official OD seat belt.

Yea just have to be care full with the air operated one on the trunnion if the cap is tight / seated. If you remember Rustystud blew out his rubber thingy on the inside shaft of the trunnion using an air powered one. He replaced the whole trunnion to correct his mistake. If all is ok the rear...

Just watch over greasing the trunnion for the rears so as not to knock out the inner rubber seal thingy. Myself I would remove the cover and check bearings / bushing condition. Then per TM if I remember pump some grease into it with cap off or loose. Then cap tight pump easy not a power grease...

I have a couple of NOS flanges let me go and find them and get pics.

Knocked out the passenger side this morning. Came out ok and so much better than being painted. I did it yesterday but did not mention it. Since on each side we have to slide the front lip of the panel in first to lock it in to the sheet metal I just put one bolt in the front top hole panel...

Here you can see what happens when we bend the rubber they way it is supposed to lay. It gets the waves in it but they seen to work out on install of the panel. The other pic my rubber is installed and panel is put back on job done. This pic is just showing how the install worked for me. I...

I am guessing that the after market rubber trim for the fenders is extruded. Now the new rubber that just came in has a set to it that is backwards. Does this set happen when it is extruded or when they coil it up? The reason I ask and also saw a post about it is the way the new rubber came is...

Just wondering in that picture does two SEE's make a SAW.

Yea a little better but. Most of the time we only remove the Head. So when putting the fuel control back into the Head the arm of the fuel control will be back more towards the fire wall or the 4 o'clock position not 7 o'clock. That is because when we do the plunger sleeve for free movement...

I went with Jeff's old machine as I said I saw it at MT. Dora and thought it was cool then and can only think of it when she rolled off the line. I like to play to help keep the MV of the month thread going. Funny getting harder to get people to post a picture of there truck for fun but offer a...

Yep 3511 primary Napa 3512 secondary 10 micron Napa 33540 is a 6 micron. Gaskets Napa 5070. We discussed it and most felt that running two of the 10 micron was not as good as stepping down from 10 on the secondary then 6 micron for final. The 6 micron is a Detroit Diesel filter but it is...

Well need name and address to send you all the stuff.

I was going to make some kind of art work with it and the other trim that looks like swords. Now they just sit collecting dust.

Ok same deal tell me what these two pieces of trim came off of. I do not know but same as the Oldsmobile hood ornament plane bought them at the flea market same time. Did something stupid and ordered points and condenser for my truck. They came in and I took off distributor cap to find I have up...

I do not know, bought it and some other trim at a flea market 20 years ago. OK update post I found this pic and it does show 1049 plane / wings look like a match to mine with the wings and fuselage the same length. Guess we have a winner need name and address.

Ok there are two plugs one for the bellhousing and one for the oil pan. The shorter is for the bell housing / fording so as not to hit the starter ring with the threads. Now mine came with the shorter one installed in the oil pan and not one for the bell housing. Mine someone used a bad ratchet...

Thanks to our member juanprado. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/military-vehicle-lug-nut-torque-specs.126879/

Yep I really do not trust anything but I always have the big truck 4 way and 4 foot cheater bar somewhere close. Yea electric can let you down and maybe not get close to the right torque. Believe someone here used the electric hand power and still lost a wheel. I never really thought much about...

Thought that was the thimble nut they wanted to be replaced or carefully inspected. That is the one that holds both wheels on to one stud.
