    Creosote?

    If you HAD to run your deuce on some creosote in order to use it up, I'd throw only a gallon or two into a full tank of diesel at a time, to dilute it. The petroleum distillates in the creosote scares me as far as running it as a pure fuel. But diluted, it should be fine.

    Creosote?

    I lived at a place that had a Taylor stove outside, we burned creosote-soaked telephone poles in it all the time. The creosote didn't seem to gum anything up, and it burned nicely, but I will say that I wouldn't consider burning it in a stove INDOORS. The Taylor stove is designed to take all...

    6/8/13 - Breakfast in Eldersburg, Maryland

    Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to come up much anymore for the foreseeable future. Part of the reason I made the trek most of the time was my brother lived in Frederick, MD and I'd come up for the weekend to visit him, and then going to the breakfast was another 40 minutes up the...

    Antenna bracket mounting - simple cheap parts from hardware store.

    Looks good! I have a question, though. Yours is similar to the original style brad holes that came from the factory. Why not, when installing the antenna mount, just drill 4 bolt holes the size of the holes on the mount, through the fender, and use nuts/bolts/washers as any normal body part?

    My truck is down for major repairs, hope to get it back up and running this weekend. I can't get out there if I can't drive something! :)

    Experimental 5/4t? - XM705

    With an estimate 20-30 made, and I've seen 4-5, that gives a survival rate of about 20%, and that's pretty darn good for an experimental vehicle. I doubt 20% of all the M37's ever made are still driving around.

    Experimental 5/4t? - XM705

    How many of these XM705s were built? I have seen about 4-5 come up over the years, makes me wonder how many "experimental prototypes" were made by GM for testing before they lost the bid.

    Yup. You can get it from a public phone book too.

    anyone recommend a good ham radio-only forum out there?

    Looking to find more information out there on the web related to ham radios and military radios, specifically custom homebrew projects, old iron (boat anchors), restorations, maintenance, etc. Can anyone out there recommend a good forum on the internet that is similar in layout to this (any...

    Shelter to Camper Conversion....

    Hey Juergen, what computer program did you use in the 1st post to create a 3d model of your build design? I am trying to model my shelter build and, other than chicken scratch drawings by hand on beer napkins, I don't have anything that can display what I want to show like you have.

    Dear God what have i done

    If it says they run in the description, then odds are they were driven into the lot and you should have no problems. It's when the description says "does not run" you have to worry. I'd still bring lots of oil, coolant, diesel fuel, and tools when it's time to truck them home. And just...

    Dear God what have i done

    I owned 9 deuces at one time, around 2008. I said the same thing after I won about 4 of them at one time out of Chambersburg, PA. "What the heck am I thinking?" Well, either you have the money, or you HAD the credit, if you can get them home safe and sound, look them over, fix up two of them...

    Number of FMTVs in private hands?

    I owned a M1078 rollover wreck a couple years back, the gent I sold it to said he had 3-4 more various models and he was putting a couple of them together. I figure a few dozen FMTV and LMTV vehicles, in different conditions from burned out wrecks to decent driving ones, have been sold off...

    Shelter to Camper Conversion....

    Subscribed - I will need to research this thread again when time permits, for my future s-280 shelter project! Won't be as nice as yours, but I hope to incorporate some of the ideas in mine.
