Did you get any pics of those G506's? That's one truck on the list of 'shapes I want to touch with sand paper' before I can't move my arms. Does your child know you built her a graduation hall that you're going to use as a garage? BEautiful work brother, I can't wait to see more. We...

Sorry brother I know we're using code words but just so everyone can see we're on the down-low.......that's supposed to read Mini Still but we just won't say it on the public forum. I would have never guessed those doors were that big or weren't square.......thank you. I don't even need to think.

I had the same question. He set the bar pretty high for the rest of us. At least we have a place to park our trucks when we visit now. Goose's tall stack took a 9 foot opening so she wanted a 10 foot garage for door clearance. She got a pole barn. When a short stack showed up NOS from down...

We sure got lucky with the timing and getting the tonnage across the border. Merry Christmas from our G749 family, to yours. It worked out even better for me. For a few years I'd pop the stack off the truck, back it in to the barn, cover the stack with a pail.......forget, fire up the truck...

Let's take your truck on the left.....it's got more gas in it then the other one. Cool website over at Delta so if they're going to be fast and reasonable to deal with, they should get a plug. http://www.deltateamdecals.com/ I'm going a little nuts wanting pictures of it going back together so...

It's kinda funny when ya think a 45 gallon drum is 11 gallons short of fillin' that tank. Are you going to drive that museum piece in the mud or build a back up truck we can get dirty? Once this is done you'll be bored. :D

It's one type of seal for our windows. You can take our glass class on Tuesday for a hamburger today right here. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/how-to-rust-proof-reseal-window-frames.80294/

608 was only two posts before your last one. Seems like yesterday. Gunfreak25 and I had different measurements for front window glass so If you have glass measurements it'll help with gauging glass setting tape. Who doesn't have an imperial tape measure when ya need one? Here's a start. The...

Hey there Oklahoma, good to hear your voi......good to see y.......it's good to read your typing. The Maintenance boys didn't introduce this until 1962 which is interesting. Did the U.S. keep injury reports from maintenance depots in a museum somewhere? If the G749 bit some guys in the 10...

Since we're shopping for alternatives I'll post the links to a few weatherstripping/ parts companies. We have a company close to me called AMP panels and they give up info on their suppliers. http://www.ampauto.com/parts Lots of options for companies across the continent......if anyone...

We're looking for sources for the 51 chev too. I think it's similar material but says it's leather. Here's one of the links. https://www.classicparts.com/1941-72-Fender-Welt-Gold/productinfo/37-524/ Did an "Images" search for fender welting then followed a few pictures to their main site. We...

We set up a musty smelling canvas tent at the airshow a few years ago and could not believe the number of people that thanked us for bringing back their childhood memories. Maybe you're on to something! I just need bacon scented febreeze! Keep those progress pictures coming!

Jerry can USMC not U.S.M.C. Your info should be a stickie and in an encyclopedia! Thank you. I cleaned a little harder and found 1962 under the contract number DA44 193 OM 1306. It's USMC, the can company, US on both sides, clean bottom....U.S.M.C.00-08 must have this! I even checked the...

That's a cool bit of information right there, thank you. Most cans I've seen had a date stamped on the bottom but this one isn't obvious. Is there anyway to determine it's age without cutting it in half and counting it's rings, like I do with trees? This salvage yard contains bits and pieces...

The truck is perfect for a rubber up restoration. Fairly straight, nearly complete, nostalgic factor is high, useful, big,,,,all good.

July 4th Journey's Oh ya, Don't post and drive, safe journey home. Here is one more pic of how smooth your fender should look when you get there!

USMC find in Edmonton I would never have thought that I'd be walking through a scrapyard in mid-northern Canada and find......not one, but two items that should belong to you. I grabbed the can for you, it has USMC stamped in the top and not sure how to decipher the date....either 44' or 93'...

I'm still seeing places on Goose where I missed a few seams and I was shooting 90° at everything I could. There are a few folds on the box and cab where I didn't get down low enough to shoot up into the fold. We're seeing surface rust starting to show up so it's good to hit it again. I did a ton...

If the hair is standing up on the back of your neck it's because I keep staring at your pictures. What are we looking at in this pic? You might need to get your magnifying glass out, I saved it to paint for the red circle of wisdom and it looks like it might be small. It looks like a gear...

Did you paint the tires? That's fast hey...or should I say that's fast eh'! I'm giddy with smiles man so I can only imagine how you're feeling. A new truck in 3 days is hard to beat. You'll really enjoy touching her nuts for anything you need to dismantle now because they'll spin right off. I'd...
