    large military radio collection on island in WI - amazing!

    It's nice to see the basic transmitters and receivers sitting on a shelf, but what is really impressive is when someone takes the time to assemble the entire radio set, including the enclosures such as HO-17, S-89, S-318, etc.

    How are you Texas members getting licensed to drive 5 tons?

    I would say if you are hauling something like grain or cattle, you better have a good story. I use my FMV to pick up surplus all the time, and have been pulled over by TXDPS doing so, and was told to be safe and have a nice day, after careful checks of all my paperwork.

    Video, something I'm working on.

    Looks good with the NATO 3 color.

    How are you Texas members getting licensed to drive 5 tons?

    My policy for my daily drivers did not increase with the CDL. If you are driving over something over 26,000 GVW and plainly non-commercial, all the regulations associated with CMVs do not apply. Hence, the physical, log books, and so forth are not needed. You do not have to present a medical...

    How are you Texas members getting licensed to drive 5 tons?

    When TX DPS told me the Class A and CDL tests were the same, I went with the CDL. Never hurts to have a back-up career.

    GSA m548s ?

    Was it one for 16K or all 3? Was this at the forestry station? That's where mine came from.

    Need mechanics opinion on my next move

    If there is an eroded path, then a new headgasket will not last long. The only quick fix that has a prayer is J B Weld. Clean the surface and apply, then grind it flat to the surrounding surfaces.

    Help decoding M37 tag. Anyway to get numbers from that for repaint?

    Welcome to the site. You can try using the "2013 Vin thread" to find your unit assignment from the serial number (vin) on the main data plate, but I can predict that your truck is too old to be in that database. Keep sanding on the hood sides for your Army registration number, and the bumper...

    SWCC SOCR boat not sold on GSA

    Any of you get in on the action on this bad boy this afternoon? Did not sell due to not meeting reserve. Bids were up to $16,125. Without engines, this boat would have been a bottomless money pit even if Uncle Sugar would have let it go. It is supposed to be fitted with a pair of POS Jap...

    1962 Ford M151

    1965 called. They want their M151 back. I would wash it with a mild bristle brush and soapy water. A pressure washer will peel too much paint. Agreed, this is too original to do a restoration.

    Looking for color identification

    Maybe shade 24087 available from Rapco. They have color chips on the website.

    A good place to get parts for my MB

    Brent Mullins Jeep Parts strives to sell only NOS parts or extreme quality repros. He gets all my business.

    Rejuvenate 6TMF battery

    6TMF's can only be relied upon for 2 years. I know others will chime in that they get 6+ years from them, but that is not my luck. Once they are sulfated, you can hot charge them for days and they still will not come back. So I have found, your results may vary. I have switched to 31's.

    Vapor Lock Issues??? Help

    Yup they will do that when it gets hot. Try a rubber fuel line from the pump to the carb, routed well away from the manifolds. Looks like crap I know, but helps with this issue.

    Google UGP-12 power unit. Powered Viet Nam era HF set used by Special Forces. Very interesting set.

    Replacing Belts on an M52A2?

    It is the same as deuce. Your pic shows the bolts still in place on the compressor pulley. Loosen those, and apply some penetrating lube, and use whatever wrenches and unscrew the outer part of the pulley.

    Recovery of FRANKENSTEIN M37

    The engine is not from a CCKW. How much for the tires in the bed of the truck?
