gimp, how much for the winch? and what sorta work needed to get it functioning, just a respool, new cable, etc?

easternsurplus.net perhaps? think I mentioned that in another thread (http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=255181&highlight=#255181) you were asking about earlier....hope that helps- they are the closest big supplier near you, and they'll even bob one for you...

look at easternsurplus.net- they're in PA and dave is a great guy to deal with....

RE: trucks date's good for me.

Scott- I like the idea- at least something to remember all of Ethan's contributions, help and friendship here on SS... I miss talking to him in the mess tent- wish I could have met him in person. This event is probably something he would have loved to come to, and I think he would be proud that...

how much for (4) Michelin XL 15.5/80R20's? and are you willing to ship to VA?

I'm in for whatever, pretty much whenever- but will most likely be attending in my POV, as I am truckless right now.... :(

RE: Re: New Iron Terry, the truck looks great at it's new home with it's smaller siblings! Glad to see it getting attention and getting put to use. I know you will enjoy it thoroughly.

mod's if this belongs in convo's feel free to move it. Well here it is, my dad's new FMTV- Actually, it's not his. Would be cool if it was cause then I could drive it....lol. My dad runs a company that builds milspec genset units that are mounted on trailers and used by multiple branches of the...

Hey JR- congrats! I'll never forget that feeling of my first deuce! its exciting! anyhow, I'm over in Smithfield, just a stone's throw from you. Unfortunately, I am selling my only deuce to another member here....hopefully sometime down the road, I will be able to have another. But if you...

thanks guys, i looked a little closer at the pic and see a bolt pattern on the firewall where it looks like it belongs. question tho, how is the washer function actuated from inside the cab?

that's kinda what i thought too- didn't realize they had washer fluid pumps, and it looks like its attached to the steering shaft column....wierd.

never seen this before? I am not familiar with the air-o-matic, but is this part of it? anybody know what it is?

never had that problem here in isle of wight county- not too far from you, and plenty of open country..... food for thought

Is the new truck a direct drive tranny vs the chase truck being OD? that's the only scenario I can think of- explains the acceleration difference at least, and in theory, the motor would have to turn faster to hold the same speed on flat ground- thus running a hair hotter???? might be something...

interested in front & 1 rear axle, complete, hub to hub, but don't need any suspension or anything....

hey bob- pm sent.... all others- please feel free to provide any input as i want to search out all venues before i go about doing this... i know we have creative minds on here who come from all sorts of walks and specialities, surely somebody has done something similar themselves!

I have been thinking about some of the above issues you mentioned Bob, and studying the two IH's 4900's in our fleet, and see where it may be close but from just basic measurements, looks like it will work. Not trying to make some huge mud monster, just an MV toter that will be nice on the...

yeah theres actually a guy selling an old power co. truck that has fabco parts on it for about 1000 running, only an hour from here...but i'd rather go the 5ton route- looking to do some long distance hauling at highway speeds (which will prolly require an overdrive to compensate for axle ratio)...

maybe like these- but the older dt466 without all the new electronic CRAP http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=21512&highlight=international+truck bump....[/url]
