These Canadians may not do LOW flying so much as some seriously CLOSE ENCOUNTERS of the aerobatic kind..... Canadair CL-41 Tutor (11-4058)

Contact some of your local CABINET MAKERS/SHOPS who MAKE there cabinetry. Politely explain your project so you aren't mistaken as a potential competitor, then ask them from where they source their hardwoods. They might even be able to mill the wood to your required dimensions at a reasonable...

Controlling 1 & 2 in the post-accident scenario??? For that, DEPENDS. (Adult Diapers)

We're making progress ! I spoke that a "point of contact" for this wrecker today! He's a very nice, enthusiastic veteran, seemingly knowledgeable of MVs in general and this truck in particular. I'm told that this truck last ran about 2-1/2 years ago. He believes that with a set of fresh...

Yes, Sir, it is. Click on the links in Post #1 of this thread and you can see examples of it's mass production.

Thanks for posting up the B-52 link. As y'all may recall: I work at a funeral home a pre-arrange funerals for those planning their final needs. I had the distinct privilege yesterday to visit with an 82-year-old, 24-year USAF veteran. He served his entire career as a B-52 Tail Gunner. He...

Speaking of organic stuff to make it shine..... I was pouring WVO (Waste Veggie Oil) into the fuel tank of the Deuce and slipped causing a significant spill. While I was going to fetch some hot water and Dawn Dish Soap to clean up the fuel tank, Soldier B, who hadn't been with me for the...

Multi-Fuel. I like that. We happen to have a spare MF still in the can that we got when we won our Deuce at auction. IF.... and I must emphasize - IF it is "for sale" the Multi-Fuel would simplify any maintenance learning curve and spare parts inventories. Got it. Thanks.

Huh. I don't remember saying it was FOR SALE. I know that "everything is for sale for a price." But whose saying that old lady is for sale? rofl:naner:rofl:jumpin:

...but the air breather is on the wrong side for the M816's powerplant. Now I'm corn-fused.

Thanks for that. OliveDrab mentions only difference between M62 vs M543 was boom configuration, but it seems the air breather and spare tire mount vary too.

Thanks, BigMike! Also, the M543 pics at OliveDrab.com show the front bumper mounted vise in only one shot. The base plate seems to have been standard equipment, but the vise seems seldom present. (maybe a high theft item??? LOL) Thanks again. John

Spotted a Wrecker today and am trying to determining just what M-Series it is. Here are the two photos I have. . Unfortunately, these are the ONLY photos or for that matter the ONLY information I have about the truck. The possibilities I've considered are: M816 - NOPE, the Air Breather is...

Glad to see that the "argument" is cooling down here. i am reminded of a few noteworthy points. 1. The TITANIC was designed by engineers. (Take that however you'd like.) 2. We are all just a bunch of little kids in adult bodies trying to do the best that we can.... The playground (the SS...

A somber reminder. Thank you for bumping this for those too new to the SS to remember. I pray his passing was not in vain, but a stark reminder that this hobby is actually serious, yes, life & death stuff. Be safe out there. Vaya con Dios ! (Go with God!)

I too thought about playing the name game, but bit my tongue. Now that y'al have started, I simply cannot remain silent..... Some suggestions: Taylor the Trailer - OR - Omega (the end)
