She made it home (to my place) today. Wish I had more room, but she has her own personal container.
Snug, but with enough room to open the door to get in and out.
Picture will be posted on the Front End Friday page in the morning!

Hi
50 Years ago I put a giant Kill Roy on the plywood of my roof before roofing, yesterday it surprised the roofing crew roofing my house for the third time, they had no idea what or who Kill Roy was. Of course most weren't even born 25 years ago when I reroofed the house the first time.
But be assured a 80 year old military vehicle was use as the 2 tons of roofing was loaded on my 3 ton Canadian Military Pattern truck.
The Kill Roy is very appropriate you will be explaining it often and teaching a little history.
Cheers Phil

I tried to start the ragtop M37 Power Wagon yesterday. No bueno... It's not getting fuel and starting fluid never got more than a sputter. The truck has been sitting since '03 according to the previous owner. It had two, what looks like "brand new" Interstate batteries in it so I suspect it was running when parked. $260 bucks for the cheapest replacement batteries I could find. Ouch! Fiddling with the fuel system in a limited way makes me think it is clogged tight with gunk. So I'll end up dropping the tank and trying to flush the lines with pressurized air. What I really need is the worlds longest pipe cleaner. Probably have to remove and clean the fuel pump and the carburator too. That's a lot of work for a truck I just want to sell. But I need something to do anyway, and twisting wrenches is better than sitting in front of the TV.

Took the truck to a car show. No trophy but had a good day. Spoke with lots of veterans.

Soupermike, could you elaborate a little about the fuel tank process? I am working on mine this week. Thanks!

Soupermike, pictures #3 and #4 show that you cut open the tank. How did you put it back together? Welded? Pic 4 is too far away to see the details. Thanks!

I cut open the hole and put a bunch of bolts in it and rolled it a lot of times to loosen any rust. There are 2 weirs in there so I couldn't get to the corners so I did the best I could. I used POR15 to etch the metal and once it dried I used and am very pleased with Redcote . It is designed to work with all fuels.

I cut a piece of metal 1" wider and taller than the hole and used liquid gasket material to seal the opening. I used self tapping screws to attach it in case nif have to open it up in the future.
