I have also considered this. The number is from the front axle? Because of the weight I will then probably test the first time Richard from USA2YOU.nl
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I payed around 1100 euros total for 2 rear spring packs. I had Richard buy and ship them for me. Shipping was the biggest expense at $ 161.31 for having them shipped to Richard and another € 417.92 euros for having them shipped to the Netherlands by FedEx.I have also considered this.

Thank you for your encouragement. We were faced with the decision to go all the way or not at all and decided on all the way... it costs work and money, but it's also not just any vehicle. Besides, I promised my wife when we put it in storage that one day it would be back on the road.This is going to be nice once it is done.
You've put a lot of work into it.
.My wife continues to hunt for missing parts. However, parts that were already missing before when handed over from the army:
Original jack for example
Meanwhile we know at least how it looks like and that they are sometimes still available.
Are they any good? then we are willing to spend more money. But if they are more decoration, then buying an additional matching jack lowers the price I would pay for an original jack
Of course there was also not a spare wheel within. I read that this is often occurs. Maybe they doesn`t need them at the army or make a seperat trading within
Sparewheel ist since 1998 in our hands but never attached on the truck.
The original attachment is not exactly user-friendly especially since there is also the civile trailer hitch in the way.
So we plan to find a place on the box with a locking system otherwise it will disappear soon
sounds good.Twice now in over 40 years I have had to change a tire on my own vehicle on the road... far more often I have helped other drivers. Therefore, I have also experienced various original jacks that were simply useless to put it nicely..
The jack is a "screw type" that you hook onto the a-frame in the front and under the axle in the back. They are pretty decent if you give it a shot of lube every now and again. If it gets stiff, sometimes the thing falls over when trying to get it into position... Makes you say bad words because the handle is about 4ish feet long. Still, the factory jacks are generally reliable.
Where do those "Front Fender to Cab" seals go?I have already ordered new seals but i wanted to know if i can save them of garbage as the Professional painter had not covered them before paintinghow stupid can someone be in that case specially of his profession.
Front Before cleaning, behind after cleaning - the condition of the seals are still useful, but i wanted new ones

I used a grinder and pin punch to remove all of the exhaust hangers from the frame. Then I drilled out the spot welds on the hangers that pinch the rubber so that I can adequately prepare and preserve all of the pieces. I’ll paint the majority of the remaining pieces just prior to re-welding and then paint the small welded remainder last. Finally, bolt the hanger back back together where it was previously spot welded. I’ve already painted and bolted the large hanger portion back on at this point, but the other portions described are not complete yet. That’s my plan.It looks like I will have to make this myself or I will take something from the aftermarket which I will customize

Fortunately we have been able to sandblast all parts to have the best possible preparation. The frame is already primed with epoxy primer. All parts of the frame and the underbody will receive an 2K epoxy primer, the 2K Adhesion Primer and the 2K CARC Paint. Additional where necessary Cavity sealing (the most at the cab), Stone chip (Wheel housings) and underbody protection.I used a grinder and pin punch to remove all of the exhaust hangers from the frame.
