Well, I understand completely-it's a he...ck of a lot of work to remove it, especially if the vehicle is functioning. I had hoped to find someone who had a truck that was taken apart, being parted out, etc., so as to inconvenience them and me as little as possible.

Sadly, the A3 bracket is waaaay different. So much so that one person on SS who used one to convert an A2 to dual circuit had to drill a new hole in his frame for the clutch pedal shaft to exit. The A3 bracket also does not have the provision for the PTO shifter. On the standard A2, the PTO...

It took me a long time to recognize this, but people assess risk in two very different ways. Some people look at a situation and think "How likely is the bad outcome?". If there is a low likelihood of the bad outcome, they'll move forward. The other worldview is "If the unlikely event occurs...

This is exactly right. I struggle with this every year. Put it out really early and then the thread has 10K posts or let it wait a bit. Dates are Oct. 18-22, 2017. Rally Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/GeorgiaMilitaryVehicleRally/

One, a 65+ year old harness is no good unless it's NOS Two, consider what options you want before ordering a new harness: perhaps you want dual taillights, perhaps you want turn signals, etc. You can have harnesses made with all of these upgrades already in them Three: This is just my...

Except when they're really old. My '67 A2 had what I assume is it's original harness. My truck was released earlier than the mid-2000's GL dump so it's been out of the service a long time and was probably one of the rougher trucks when it was released. The harness was just trash-all of the...

I've never opened an airpack that had what I would consider a good canister.

That does look good. Like the rear winch cover. The genset is a civvy mod. Looks like the wrecker floodlights are gone and some civvy spun aluminum ones in their place. ZiggyO has the right ones in the classifieds. Mirrors are either bridge truck or ten ton, can't remember

I think the 2-6K estimate is reasonable. I've sold 2 winch trucks in the last 12 months for $6500. Both totally serviced, new batteries, titles, etc. One was a little prettier than the other, the less pretty one had a cargo cover. I think what you're going to see now that the govt. is...

Insurance is a major hassle for events. Of all the stuff that presented a potential risk to the insurer at the Ga. Rally (vehicles, offroading, convoy, guns (Dtown has a firing range), etc.) the thing they were worried about the most was the camping. I thought that was pretty low risk so I...

Ok...... so........................ First off, you'll have to be talking to a "specialty" kind of a shop for them to even want to do it. Collision type shops do great work, but they are an assembly line business: Their bread and butter is get the new Civic or Suburban in that's been crunched...

These aren't long lasting engines (IMHO). They are in vehicles with very deep gearing, so just to make roadway speed (4550mpg) they are running at redline. To make matters worse, they have a really long stroke, so 3k rpms of crank speed is a lot of piston speed, because the piston has such a...

They do nice work. I send them M38A1 fuel pumps, which are similar to the M37.

I have a Series 18 on one end of my truck and a factory 10K lb PTO on the other end. I think I'm qualified to weigh in here. The electric is perfectly fine if it's what you have, but it's not comparable to the PTO. Less cable, way less duty cycle, the reliability issues inherent to electric...

They aren't making rules up-they're interpreting the rule differently than you'd like or differently than they should. Don't take that as me agreeing with them or slamming you-I'm just saying that's how they see this issue. Ask me about the EPA and "state waters". What constitutes state...

There's a lot to cover here. First, what form did the police officer use for the "has been inspected by an officer and has been deemed a road-worthy vehicle in the state of Georgia" inspection? Because the only thing I've ever seen or heard a police officer do is a VIN verification. Most of...

If the data tag says 4K, I think it's '66-'68. Need the VIN. Probably starts with something like 0125- 25A alternator? Do you mean generator? The generators are 25A, the alternators are 60A.
