Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I swapped out the rusted side panels on my truck a long time ago. I did not need to remove anything to get them off, but some bending and prying was required. It was a lot of work. Try to get some kind of rust inhibitor in the hat channel that runs horizontally along the floor, that catches dirt and water and causes the rust.Getting geared up to do some more welding in a few weeks, I ran across this. It appeared to be some small bubbles at first until I started pushing on it with my finger.

This is on the passenger side above the toolbox. What is the best way to go about fixing this? One of my parts trucks possibly has this part rust free, however I am not sure what all would be involved removing this whole side of the cab. Has anyone repaired this piece or changed that side of the cab for a better one? I would appreciate advice here.
I did not have to remove the rear panel. I had to do some prying and bending, but it went together OK. Memory of this is a little fuzzy, I did this replacement around 1985. There are still a few bolts I have yet to put back, but I will get a round tuit one day.This looks like it could be a little difficult. Lots of stuff to come off. I found out how to do it in my downloaded copy of TM9-1819.
NDT...Did you have to remove the back panel and everything else the TM says? I only need to replace the passenger side. Also what is the best way to remove the arm pivot pin on the door?
This is what I decided to get, believing it is what is best for my needs right now.Because if you do, it'll make your life easier and that might turn you into a lazy bum?
S-A-A-A-Y; is this a trick question!?
We definitely need a transmission rebuild thread. This is great info! All those parts make this look a little intimidating but I think I can do it.I was going to push this into the transmission re-build thread but still trying to grasp all the lingo so we'll Xperiment on you first.
Do you still want these?
Maybe this is a crazy idea but what if we used diesel? Completely fill the transmission to the top with it, let it set a while, drain, repeat as necessary and then run a little through the system. After that run some oil, drain and refill with oil for the final time.is there something we could use to "flush" the transmission, and then refill with the 10 w oil?
