    302 engine head gasket set

    thanks, I'll let him know. He's had the head off due to exhaust leaks so the lower end is untouched.

    Thanks guys. I bought a new Best gasket set for my buddy so he's getting his truck back together.

    302 engine head gasket set

    I saw the epay one. My buddy, who this is for, is very hesitant of the NOS units as he thinks he sees crumbling in the cork pieces. It may be his only choice however. I also did see the parts thread. Anyone who owns one of these very uncommon trucks should have been stocking up on...

    302 engine head gasket set

    It seems that the gaskets for these trucks are nearly gone. Does anyone have a source for more recently produced gasket sets? The remaining NOS sets are 40 plus years old. Certainly there are some out there. Epay doesn't seem to have anything.

    S250 Comm Shelter Project - HAM & Military Radios

    Nice project! There is a portable ground system: MK-2551 A/U. They can be found on Epay. Consists of a bunch of short galvanized stakes on a cable that you clip to the vehicle in two places. I'm getting one for my S89/M116A1 shack build.

    Stripping an Aluminum comm box

    There is one coat of what looks like CARC on it and it's peeling. I am reluctant to just paint over it and have it look like crap. Since I'm using stripper, the dust factor isn't there (the M116A1 trailer I'm stripping is another story) just the amount of time it takes to get that one coat of...

    Air Force Yellow stencil color?

    Good idea!

    Air Force Yellow stencil color?

    I think the trouble I am having is that I can't verify that some of these other paints (like Baer from HD) will not ruin my Rapco paint job. I feel like Krylon will be ok but the only color they have which seems close is John Deer Yellow. There are just not enough Strata Blue trucks around to...

    Air Force Yellow stencil color?

    It's a very nice sticky, neat and precise. But I don't see anything about Baer paint compatibility with Gillespie. :)

    Air Force Yellow stencil color?

    I didn't think of a sticky in the paint forum... I've used rapco Strata Blue (Gillespie), will the paint from Home Despot behave with that paint? Thanks everyone!

    Air Force Yellow stencil color?

    I'm nearly ready to apply the stenciled markings to my '53. It's Strata Blue and I am looking for the correct color for the markings. Anyone have an idea what I can use? Here she is a week ago getting the bed installed:

    Need help choosing color

    Did someone say Strata Blue? This was my truck a week ago. We drove it around the yard for the first time.

    Clutch pedal return spring

    I am missing a piece from the linkage for the huge return spring for the pedal. The link that goes between the spring and the pin on the linkage. Does anyone know how long it is supposed to be? This is basically a small flat piece of metal with a large (.25") hole and a smaller hole for the...

    MVPA Show in Huntsville, AL

    There will be two forklifts and operators there. You should try to use only Dixie Division's forklift as they are charging us to use the convention centers'. The use of their's is probably inevitable but we are trying to keep that charge low.
