    Doo you have the part numbers for the bushing set that you used?

    yeah, the little plastic bits wear quickly and are hard to source. The scalpers want a fortune for them and they simply wear out agian. I've tried a number of rod holder solutions. The A1R trucks changed to a metal clip (akin to the old-school carb rod clips that Chevy /Ford...

    I kinda figured it was something like that. I've owned three covers and none came with a pocket for a bar to weigh the lip down.

    I've dragged the cover up onto the bed, then up to the roof of my house, then rolled it onto the frame. No, not fun...more like a challenge. Flipping it 180 isn't too horrid (the straps hanging down are a pain, though). But it's just a big heavy burrito at that point and not too hard to...

    But...but.... <insert BS here> a) supply and demand b) junkyard rental property cost c) labor to remove *none of which apply to the vast majority of crap the surplus scalpers flip You're on the right track... Find the item/size you need on the civilian market. Pay pennies for the item...

    Well I've not rebuilt one before, but the "hissing" is almost certainly air. It could be a hole in the hose, a crack in a fitting, etc. Yeah, you need somoni to activate the pump while you get in there with a spray bottle of soapy water I'd think. On the bright side, it's not a M1079 with a...

    Which TM? Heh I suck at finding shit in the TM(s).. Searching for "figure 251" or "item 78" = 0/0 results As far as posting pics, in the "compose message" window, just above the window for text are some icons. About mid way is the "Insert Image" button. Then just drop your image into the...

    Cab bushings are a bit of a chore. Especially the driver side. Removing the grill helps. When I do mine, I'll likely drop the bumper, too (it's easy if you have a buddy to help once it's unbolted). Lots of "how too" threads on cab bushings. Lot's of tricks to get it done. I'm not sure if...

    And now the fun part starts... Pro tip: Convert it to EV now and save the planet ! *or Google "how to get a 3116 to roll coal like some kinda apocalyptic-bitch-Chernobyl-blot-out-the-sun-suck-on-my-freedom-soot-epicness"

    I've never been on that lot, but Springtown is not an active base. But it could be a federal facility of some sort, I'm not sure. If no one here knows, I would call GP customer support. They will give you the contact info (I would take any info direct from GP with a grain of salt as they are...

    Get an insurance binder until you get it home/running. Shop around if you want full coverage. Hagarty and a few others can write FMV (former military vehicle) policies if you have limited use plans (think parades, events, etc) and they will do full coverage for FMVs. Another option is to...

    In Texas, the title department handed me back the GP EUC paperwork and said "get a title, GP isn't a licensed dealer and cannot do title assignments". Legally, they are correct (or at least were correct as of a year ago). And GP messed up my ECU on the vehicle (it technically belongs to GP...
