Where is "there", Premier or the mini rally?

We always called the cable "armored vehicle tow cable".

I can't fix your truck but I can offer some advice. Body shops are notorious for slathering bondo right on top of rust, which is what was done on your truck. If you take it back to a body shop, they will just repeat the process. What YOU need to do before doing body work is kill and remove...

Personally I would consider trimming the brake backing plate to remove the interference. Those aluminum rims are special and add value to your truck.

Stonepicker's got 'em! Here is one of them freshly installed! Edit: Everyone is out of stock 8/28/14

You need the nuts in post 89. Have you called Premier and are you coming this weekend with Jeep to get some?

Your only hope is if you can find the Army registration number painted or painted over on the hood. This number is the same as the VIN, which is ONLY stamped on the main data plate. The Budd serial number plate under the hood does not relate to the VIN. The year of Army acceptance...

Welcome to the site. Agreed, Jack's passing (along with way too many others these days) has been really sad. Glad to see you try to put his and others' accumulations to good use. It's amazing how quickly one person can get overwhelmed with surplus and not be able to manage everything anymore...

Great! Lesson learned: If the check engine light flashes, (misfire) shut the engine down and get towed, or plan on replacing cat(s). Cat can melt in a few miles of driving, ask me how I know.

Pull the cover and pressure wash everything, then inspect with the cover off, before and after operation.

So true. By the time the last replacement part is bolted on to that Ford, you will have spent $5K or more on parts alone.

Homemade, made to look military by someone.

Willys MBT or Bantam T-3 or T-3C. The "C" for civilian had the tailgate. Yours looks somewhat like that. But lots of the military trailers had them cut in. Value $500? Maybe more, sale prices of these on GSA have been through the roof.

It is ruined.

Looks like a great start. Start sending all your money to Gary Hebding.

Wehring sent me this picture of the correct lug nuts to be used with the aluminum Hutchington MRAP wheels you got from Premiere. I'm sure they must have plenty, one of us needs to go by there during the mini-rally.

Miller XMT300 or Ramrod is found in the later SECM, either is a good machine.

Sure!

Lemme know, I should be able to make it. BBQ?

Thanks Clinto for creating this thread on my behalf. As much as I would love to drive a MV to the rally, the fuel costs make this prohibitive, at least for me. Since I may not be the only one in this predicament along the I-10 corridor, I thought I would offer to coordinate a van pool starting...
