December 7th, 2015. The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Pooler, GA (over by Savannah) has a lovely example of one, regrettably there are probably none of these flying, but then the B-52 was the next iteration and it is still going so many years later, just lacking the grace of the B-47.

December 6th, 2015. USAFSS-ColdWarrior: Thank you for the video, as it gives some idea how complex the U-2 was, in many respects an ultra high altitude sailplane with a jet engine.... The stresses on this machine have no doubt been very great during the operational life.

December 6th, 2015. If you have the steering gearbox apart, a local machinist can make new ones if they are bronze bearings, and I would recommend using pre lubricated marine bronze bearing stock, it will help your truck run longer before the next overhaul.

December 6th, 2015. A flight back in time, so to speak, to 1963 and (South) Vietnam.:grin: https://youtu.be/ab9JUXfqbng

December 6th, 2015. Another old egg beater from the USMC...:???: https://youtu.be/M1h1gzcltL0

December 6th, 2015. Here's some more Army films for you, on the Chinook CH-47A. https://youtu.be/tKUm-X5WJew Enjoy!:naner:

December 5th, 2015. I had the chance to see a turbo version of this one lifting air conditioners to the roof of the Hilton here in the Lincoln home Neighborhood....noisy as sin, and the pilot must have had very large cojones to do what he did.... https://youtu.be/ZCijbNi9aXE Enjoy, this...

December 5th, 2015. After hearing all this hoo-ha in Georgia, maybe I won't want to get assigned to Jimmy Carter NHS if this is what faces me with a Unimog or an M35A2. And you all thought they were crazy up here in Illinois? Maybe you need to copy MaDuce's legislation up here in Illinois, it...

November 15th, 2015 NP2IJ: I repeat what the others have said, and hope that you both recover as quickly as possible. Regrettably I no longer own an M35A2 (but hope to have another one, or a U1300L Mog soon), but having worked on everything from locomotives to vessels, I tend to move slowly...

November 14th, 2015. Gents: I always find the discussions on here interesting, although sometimes the logic escapes me. It's rather like in England you can't own a pistol, but you can own an 8" long tom artillery piece from WWII, because its a single shot rifle? As the old Artie Johnson...

November 10th, 2015. In regards to answer in Post No. 10, altering the VIN will be both a Federal and State offense, if you want to go into Folsom or San Quentin, that will get you a very quick and relatively free ticket. No matter what your company does to a 1991, as the Navy sold it as...

October 31st, 2015. A truely impressive vehicle in many of it's design aspects! Congratulations to the OP for saving it. Probably the only thing rarer in a deuce would be one of the ConDeco diesel electrics with motors in the wheel hubs. The ConDeco units might have solved a lot of problems we...

October 30th, 2015. Beware of any deuce for brush fire service, as the original parking brake will not hold the truck by itself should you have water sloshing in the tank! Most converted deuce brush trucks back in W.Va. have been disposed of because far too many ran away over the hill with...

October 30th, 2015. Looks like the man's freebie winch would make either a very good boat anchor, or a way to keep Jimmy Hoffa from floating to the top, but other then those two uses, it's probably scrap. The time wasted in overhauling and rigging would buy you either a good complete Deuce...

October 30th, 2015. Back to the OP's original question: 1. IF the man can have the seller in CA have a local LEO do the VIN Verification on an Oregon vehicle title application, and send it and the title to Oregon to the purchaser once he has been paid for the truck, 2 And, the purchaser...

October 30th, 2015. "Hold on to yer Lugnuts!" Jim Carrey in "The Mask". Lugnuts too tight for you? Consider using ATF fluid (Automatic Transmission Fluid)on the nuts, and a gear reduction ratchet unit with the planetary drive. The planetary drive has one leg that hits the ground, fit your...

October 30th, 2015. When you're working on a deuce, only deuce parts will work right. If Eastern Surplus didn't have it I would have pointed you to the McKivetts at White Owl Parts in Kinston, NC. If they don't have it, you probably don't need it and they will always take great care of you...

October 27th, 2015. Another Ahab: As near as we could make out, it was either a very large cereal case or diaper shipping case, but my handling of Russian wasn't any too good. In either case, the logos were still on the inside with the side facing the passengers painted black. No taping of...
