    M105 trailer...

    Please don't use it for a bobber, or mess with the axles/wheels. Pretty soon, there won't be any left...

    Where to look for M35s/M109s?

    I remember parking lots like that in Barstow, full of M37s. Row after row... All up for bid.

    Type IX Single Component CARC Painting?

    The same chemical that escaped from a factory and killed hundreds in India. CARC is dangerous to apply without proper gear and methods.

    Type IX Single Component CARC Painting?

    Wise advice.

    M105 tire conversion

    For less than $100 worth of tools and learning, you can change them yourself. They are NOT 'split-rim" wheels, rather Goodyear safety lockring style. Tools, tires, tubes, and flaps are available, PM me and I can set you on that course.

    AZ M1078 insurance in Arizona

    My Safeco insures my cars/trucks, no problem. Even the '93 F-700 non-commercial. Give 'em a call, they may help you out. Ask for Lereme, 480-636-7764 in Gilbert.

    Are market lights required to be legal?

    Another thing to think about is if your rig is licensed as commercial or not. Some states allow POV's exemption to DOT commercial rules. AZ is one of them with historic vehicle plates.

    Blackest matte black

    I've used that conductive paint, both Carbon- and Silver-based. It makes crowded transmitter sites easier to occupy without interference hassles. The Carbon works OK, but the Ohm/SqCm is not as low as the silver type. The last gallon of the Silver was just over $5,000, but after application...

    The new "green" trailer? JLTV-T

    Looks expensive... But what isn't in the new lineup?

    AN/TRC-75 Radio Transceiver ?

    The same radio running on single-phase 60Hz would be twice as big and twice as heavy. A good reason to have one of those 400Hz gensets.

    Changing tires from 9.00-20 39.5" to 12R 20 44" singles

    His hubs are flipped. I'm glad to see someone else running halogen 1kW landing lights. The LED folks just can't fathom what real light output is. The kind that sets cardboard on fire in seconds...

    Yep, and it draws fresh air after the air cleaner.

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    But the waterproof dist on your 715 doesn't have vacuum advance...

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Years ago I got to drive a schools Dodge D600 box van with a 318 V-8 and dual exhausts. It was easy to get it to backfire by spooling it up, shutting the ignition off for a second or two, then turning it back on. Spooked more than a few girls doing that. The last (and best) time I did that...

    Blackest matte black

    Out here the only thing automotive painted flat black is radiators. Otherwise your heat absorption wold be off the charts, as just seat covers can get to 160F in the 9 months of Summer.

    Delco-Remy 1111556 24v Ignition Unit

    No tach in the early gasser M35. Lots of commercial road rigs back then did have a cable-driven tach.

    Delco-Remy 1111556 24v Ignition Unit

    The gold color anodized connectorss are by Bendix, not to be confused with those by Cannon. 24 volt tacticals use them everywhere. The plug wires are incorrect, they should be shielded wires with copper-colored wire braid on them, about 1/2" in diameter. They thread into all-metal waterproof...

    Rewire an -803a or 802a for 416/240 3ph?

    That would be very handy in some cases. For instance: We have a 480V 3ph 2hp submersible pump @ 700' down. It runs right at 3A per leg. Could keep away any personal drought...
