Update-52's are getting closer to being on-and refurb work

[cleb]

Maybe tripping a breaker that self resets? Have you tried different trailers or just that M105 that was causing the problem on our recovery trip? Just got my WA plate in the mail today, glad thats finally taken care of! You still interested in the Canvas? I might be up for a trade for a vinyl cover? PM Me...

more progress...starting to see end of tunnel but hope before the show...only 5 more days and still quite a bit of work...

first picture need your opinion... i know almost 100% that my m818 had the gun ring mount on it while in service, going by the left but loosened ubolts in the back of the cab, the unpainted uprights on the back of the cab due to the ring legs being there when truck got painted, the loosened bolts and missing bolts from the front leg mount and also the wear on the passenger seat tread plate.... so this is my question, do you supposed that this 'tally' on dash could be kills?.... or ....?

That's a cool project you've got going on there! I really like that last pic, kinda makes you smile and relax...

You're doing great! Makes me wanna look forward to repainting my rig!

Oh, and those tally marks aren't kills. They are the tally for the number of quarts of oil the driver had to add to the crankcase since the last official oil change.

BTW******!!!!!!

In the third picture do you notice that two of the gages are messed up. That is because I found out that the newer style of gages dont hold up to laquer thinner like the originals do. So just fyi and be warned It was an instant reaction, yet the originals could take the wiping over and over again so had to steal two gages out of the other trucks
