Does anyone make 3-phase chargers? Especially 480V?

Wow, but not surprised. In AZ, anything over 25 years old is eligible for licensing as a "Historic Vehicle". AZ title 28 (motor vehicle code) states as such, so it is non-commercial and not subject to DOT rules on lighting, logs, weight, braking systems, eTc. Hauling stuff is OK if not for...

It was something I never forgot, just seeing the carnage. I suspect individual drivers never forgot their experience, either. Probably 'cause another MSG (or higher rank) had serious words with them...

I'm so glad "they" know the bottom end can handle those ponies... I don't, having seen hundreds of LDS & LDT engines at Yermo with the center web blown out. The old MSG there called them light bulb motors, 'cause you never know when they would blow out...

I saw three prototype Hummv's at the Yuma Proving Grounds back in the early 80's. One was from Teledyne, one from AMG, I don't remember who built the third. The AMG was a very neat truck at the time. The others looks like "hurried" projects.

All because they ditched the Deutz 6 aircooled in "favor" of the GM 6.2L. And it gave you the cantilever steering box, too.

What does Cal do with older/collector cars & trucks? Thousands of them over there don't have long digit VINs...

Good advice, Simp.

Only if your trailer has good brakes. Best if they are air w/spring brakes, as your truck is designed to work with them. If so, install a "Johnny bar" to be able to use them without pedal. That really helps in some cases like fishtailing or loading/unloading. If not, there are cylinders...

Emery cloth is not good to use with contacts, the residue can lead to intermittant shorts and increased contact wear. In the field, plain old fine sandpaper is better. A dollar bill pulled thru the contacts with light pressure on them is actually a good cleaner. The best is a diamond...

I did it with a bunjee on the wheel, military towbar behind a large U-haul van. All the way from Phx to Oakland, no problems.

We all hope the 'demil' mentality doesn't prevail there.

You might check with a mechanical gauge just to verify what is going on. Sounds like it might be ominous...

Off we go in the Wild Blue Wanderer!

The wiper blades are No. 9 in the diagram.

All the fun with the stuff, and no reveille or saluting! So there...

Your schematic shows the early turnsignal system with a control box. Mostly unreliable, parts are unobtainium, and requires a special signal switch. The second series uses the same signal handle and flasher unit found on new tacticals (a lot easier to) source. I keep my trucks long enough...

If you're using a duckbill hammer, little dish soap around the where the ring meets the rubber, It makes the wedging action much easier.

I thought the technique of splicing the rail occasionally with a diagonal cut was pretty neat. Sort of a slip-joint.
