Wow, sooo envious, just need 2 axles and you got what 9? Man if I could just handle the cold.............
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
An excellent plan.I bid on, and won a 1976 3 ton G.M.C fire tanker. It has a 366 with a 5 speed, and 2 speed diff,with 15.000 miles on it, and the rest of the unit is in really good shape for the year. I was thinking of going 4x4 with mil axles........maybe rear steer????????? Hummmmmmmmmm
Looks dreamy, haha. Our last snow storm we got 2'. After that we were at -15F with 30-40mph winds. We are suppose to get another 2' tomorrow night. Depends where you are in the states. Know a gal from buffalo, NY who said its not totally uncommon to get 6-8' in a night. Nice video of the truck, looks like shes ready to goWhat snow? I don't see any snow! The last pic we got from you,,,,,,things looked like this.

Thanks, We had a good old fashioned blizzard just the other night, was some fun going to work, lots of cars off the road and all. I still have much to do before getting behind the wheel and enjoying my Deuce, she leaks prestone bad for one, trans fluid, and brake fluid most importantly. So those need my attention before playtime, but I'm getting things done slowly but surely. Next I want to get the manifold leaks fixed, since I'm under the hood at this time. Will post more later,Looks dreamy, haha. Our last snow storm we got 2'. After that we were at -15F with 30-40mph winds. We are suppose to get another 2' tomorrow night.

All bets are off for Buffalo NY in wintertime. It's kind of like Fort Drum. They just get a whole different winter than most of the rest of us.Looks dreamy, haha. Our last snow storm we got 2'.

Yes, as a matter of fact, we have a lot of humidity, in the summer, an average July day can be more or less than 90 degrees with a high humidity index, which makes the sweat just run from you doing nothing.At night, it's sometimes very hard to sleep, so the fans go steady. My basement is a COOL 60 degrees always, so it's really nice to work there.When you step outside, the heat just hits you like a brick. I was thinking about Arizona which has high heat, but low humidity, so I don't think it's as bad . That's one of many places I would love to visit someday.I'll bet where you are located you have a bunch of humidity with your cold. Here we are dry, so its not too bad. Funny how those snow storms work around here...takes a number of them before people remember to slow down. Well if nothing else it looks as though you have a great start on getting her to run right! I enjoy watching your progress
Last winter the river didn't freeze until mid February, almost March. I looked outside today, and it's frozen now. Two weeks or sooner, and the yearly smelt fishing in the main channel will start. Tonight it's -20 Celsius, with about 10 mph wind.All bets are off for Buffalo NY in wintertime. It's kind of like Fort Drum. They just get a whole different winter than most of the rest of us.
And I'm okay with that.
The frame is pretty clean, there's not much real rust; nice find.This is the work done so far, much more to come.
Not to hijack the thread...but I remember seeing a tutorial lesson from another ahab on pointing arrows and pictures....could we get a refreshing. Would be handy when pointing out objects on existing picsThe frame is pretty clean, there's not much real rust; nice find.
