    Adding second fuel tank

    Hi Matt, Yes I did use the 3 outlet sending unit for the new tank. One port was used to go to the fuel pump. One port was connected to the unused port of the factory tank. Last port was capped off. The sending unit is a 90 ohm resistor, so I used a fuel gauge from Summit: Fuel Gauge Like...

    MV - Heavy Equipment Discussions?

    I was Lost In The Woods back in 1982, no AC in anything...not even the Cattle Cars. At that time we had D7E and D7F dozers.

    Unfortunately, from what I have read, all of the vehicle records have been purged. But that number would most likely be on an Army vehicle.

    I leave the Blue tape on my trucks, makes it much easier to find it in a parking lot. We all know that one camo truck looks like another. That is a beautiful truck!

    That confirms that it was built for the USAF. You can remove the US Army and correct the number from 761 to 1761 Your right, they were made very close to each other. Good find! Here is what mine looked like when I found it in a grove of trees. It will be the next restoration project.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Is there a metal tag on the drivers side door post near the latch? Bottom line shows the Registration Number. That may solve the issue of being Army or Air Force.

    Interesting, 85K761 would designate that it is an Air Force vehicle .
