Old trucks can definitely bite you! Ks, no, I haven't found the seatbelt setup yet, still looking. I did get a cab strengthening plate from Dabtl though, that's a start. Cheers

54reo, I will thank you again for the timely warning on the top hinges. Shortly after reading that, we got on top of the trailer and found the hinges were next best thing to gone, no way they could have supported the bat wings. Had we opened the sides, they would have parted company with the...

Ahhh! Thanks 54, so the title shall remain in perpetuity as a monument to my failings as a proofreader... :oops: Doesn't look like the canvas is in it, but there is stuff stacked 4' deep in the front half of the trailer. The canvas could possibly be in/under all that lot. We'll see in the...

Here is the shop trailer as of today. The rear door is back in place (it had a hinge broken off) and the flap thingy under the back end is now straightened out. Trailer is lockable again, so the tools in it should stay there, or at least be a lot harder to steal. And I took a close up of the...

M35A3 seatbelts I put the stuff about the A3 deuce back into the original post. Here are a few more shots of the M35A3 seat belt installation. Looks to me to be a standard cab strengthening plate with the seat belt stuff bolted to it. Correct? I definitely would like to put a set in my M813...

Thanks 54. Belted sounds stronger and longer lasting. The good thing is that a couple of big truck barns are about to go up, one on Sarge's place and one on mine, to get everything out of the sun, so new hinges should last. Very appropriately, we are using an old deuce auger truck to put...

Rubber hinges??? :roll: I'll bet that is what the strap is for then, rubber and the Texas sun don't seem to get along, and I noted that the rubber seals on the sides were pretty trashed.

It isn't hooked to the truck at all, it is filled from the outlet under the dash via a hose, has a regulator on it. It goes along with whatever truck Sarge is driving at the time. Simple but useful, I'll get him to post the details (or getthem and post them myself, he procrastinates when it...

For those who have made suggestions on improving my internet speed, here and in PM, I thank you. I am not good at understanding that stuff, but got some good suggestions. Hoopsoft, it is only about 85 miles one-way going down, but the return trip was actually around 112 because we took the...

Recovering Sarge's SGPRSMD Yep, unfortunately dialup is all I can get here in boonieland at the moment. Hopefully I will have something better in the near future as 20th century technology is slowly catching up. Anyway, all the pics are up now. Can someone tell me how to edit the title of...

Patience lads! I am on dinosaur dialup, so it takes me a while to upload them. I have to post the text first, then come back and put the pics in. Some are now on, I'm uploading the rest. And I just figured out you can only attach ten per post, so I am splitting post 2 and continuing it here-...

On the other side of the fence was the stuff they wouldn’t let us have! Edit- Earlier I removed some text and pictures that I didn't realize pertained to an active auction. That auction ended Thursday, so I'm putting this bit back in: Since I am one of the few who actually like these...

And of course we all love photos, so- Pic 2- The tach hovers around 2150 (on the upward side of the swing here) Pic 3- While speedo shows 55mph, GPS shows 57 Pic 4- Sarge in a typically bad mood. I don't know why he has an nametag that says Arnold on it... Pic 5/6- The new toy Pics...

Recovering Sarge's SGPRSMD If you have a tractor, you have to have something to pull with it, right? In the finest traditions of “No new OD for Sarge in 2009” he made his 6th buy of the year, an SGPRSMD, also known as Shop Equipment, General Purpose Repair, Semi-trailer Mounted, at Ft Sam...
