nice looking truck.

regarding the horn going off when you turn the steering wheel. Look where the horn wire leaves the base of the steering column. You will probably find the wire insulation is warn off and shorts when you turn one way or the other. I found the same problem on my truck. Put a service loop and fix the bare wire and you'll be golden.

Truck looks great with the new paint job. You do it your self? I was also wondering if you did it your self, did you sandblast it or just paint over?

I used the Wagner paint sprayer and it worked perfect for this job. Im very happy with the paint and it makes the truck look almost new. I sanded the front a little and then shot over it. Im 99% sure that the multifuel engine rebuild data plate says 1997 although it is very small.

Awesome looking truck!

Please forgive me for posing a question on this thread:

I just acquired a M185A3 (1988 with Continental multi-fuel)

I want to do a PM on the truck before driving it home - change oil / air filter

Can anyone help with a source for the oil and air filters?
