Thank you for providing these insights. Before I go on, read this: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/56011368-78/yates-ruman-skordas-crash.html.csp There are pictures and descriptions about this fatal rear-ender involving an M35A3 on the site. I am saying this to set the stage. I drove home...

I threw the stock passenger bench out and mounted the HMMWV pedestal seat and used (after refurbishing) the old springer base for the commander's seat. Worked well, took me the best part of a day to do but the ride is so much improved! Sorry for the sideways pic. I also drilled a hole across...

See, if you do not think it through, you do what I did - you cut the steel plate, rivet the HMMWV seat rails to the plate with two plate bolts capturing the rear seat rail and bolt the assembly to the floor, then bolt the seat on. Of course, then you ask youself, why didn't I just bolt the seat...

Check copper fuel line for pinching, especially where it runs from one side to the other under the radiator. Check the rubber fuel lines (if so equipped) - when they rot inside, they can swell up or create "flaps" that can cause flow issues. Also check whether the fuel shutoff releases...

This suggests that you live within an incorporated municipality and do not have sufficient space to park the vehicle on property that you own. Before taking the plunge, I suggest that you consult with your municipality to see what the restrictions are for parking a tandem axle truck in an alley...

Well,the good news is that you can un-bolt the broken winch and replace it with a working winch. You do not have to invest in the items that make a wo/w to w/w conversion expensive. Adjust the PTO and you are good to go. You get some spare parts off the broken winch and some money back for scrap...

Funny, that. Any oil or oil film on the inside of your hood? The fan can blow oil along the hood all the way back, where it drips down and makes you search for a leak that is not there. Can drive a man nuts. Ask me how I know.

I decided to back over my satellite dish. aua After picking up all the material for our new pool side deck, I needed to get Queen Lola into the front yard, next to the pool. Tight fit. However, nothing beats loading 12 foot lumber and being able to close the tail gate afterwards! The Deuce...

Yes, you decided to paint it; I would have clearcoated it to prevent ugly rust the neighbours could complain about!

Interesting. Could that be the reason for the common "1/2 of the LEDs are out" GROTE taillight issue? I just replaced one of my rears for that very reason. Ground appeared to be fine, but...

May I point out that "not knowing what one wants" is a common disease amongst people that start to vehicle-shop? This makes questions hard to answer. Look at what you said...you are literally comparing apples to oranges. A new Diesel pickup truck versus a 40 year old modified miltary truck? How...

They are 40 year old trucks. Read my signature in that regard. Also, while plentyful in the US, they are rare as hen's teeth in Canada. Think parts supply. Yes, some parts are NAPA stock, but not the one that you need, right now. All things to consider. If you want, we can talk import to Canada...

I replaced most lights with LED; this greatly reduced the amperage flowing through the switch. Not much help where you are, right now...

Yes, built-in self resetting circuit breaker. A wire chafed through at one of the lights maybe?

Copper tubing is "original". It is also expensive and less robust, compared to practically all modern synthetic fuel line options. I would investigate how I could connect a synthetic line instead.
