I’m unfamiliar with McMaster Carr. Are they a military supplier? I’ll take a look at their products. Thank you for the heads up.

Success! I entered “plastic cap and plug kit” in eBay. There are multiple sets with a selection of the same standardized plugs the military uses. One thing I need to pass on, in my experience, paint doesn’t stick to these plugs. Again, in my experience, when I used these, I wasn’t concerned with...

I too have a 1009. The antenna holes in my truck needed to be filled until I gathered the materials to reinstall the antennas. I took two oversized grommets, two large washers and a bolt through them which sealed the openings. Looking at your picture, it appears that a common plug was used to...

Not sure where to put this. I thought there was a vehicle spotted thread… Anyway, today was Military Monday at the Cheyenne Frontier Days. In honor of all things military, CFD gathered up a bunch of military vehicles and put on a convoy. My War Wagon led the convoy around the track. For HMV’s...

After much cursing and help from hendersonj and my Crew Chief wife, she’s running again. Not a job for the faint hearted.

First off, many thanks to HendersonJ! He really went the extra miles for me! On board was a Vietnam Veteran who was also a trucker in civilian life. He figured out what was wrong in under 2.5 seconds. Anyway, halfway through the parade route the War Wagon died. Got it started and then it died...

I’ve picked up a few lead bars. All appears to have been melted at one end. They are lead or some combination of lead and other metals. My question concerns the practice of lead sealing of body joints at the factory. Specific to the G506 but should apply to many WW II and earlier vehicles. Is...

I go to a lot of yard/garage/estate sales. My first go to any sale it where the tools are. As such, I’ve become a bit of a tool nerd 🤓. Vise grips are on my list of must haves. By saying vise grips, I’m using the generic name based on the trade marked products. Anyway, all Chinese tools aren’t...

Nice setup on your rig!

I’d love to find an airsoft M-60. I have a resin M-60 as a ditch gun on War Wagon. Do you have a source for them?

When I get a concussion (I’ve had several) I can feel it in my sinuses. It’s kinda weird but it’s been consistent every time.

Shucks, if a pilot can fix some tires, an old, worn out, broken Crew Chief should be able to do the same! 🤪🤣🤣

Just for giggles and snips, check the fuse. I’ve see many times a part that is new has to be fully inspected. I worked helicopters for 25 years. Never give Murphy a chance to bite you in the tookus.

When you pulled the cover to access the fuel pump, what was the condition of the gasket? Also, since we’re on the subject, the access cover, what kind of shape is it in? Last and probably least, have you checked the fuse on the top of the access panel? For what it’s worth, if the pump ain’t...

Sounds interesting. My M37 is heavily modified with a V-8, power steering, hydraulic clutch and some seriously bad looking frankenwelds. Looking forward to your pics.

Go git ‘em! I’d love to see a positive outcome to any legal actions.

Texas has Texas size bugs and the western half smells like a poorly functioning refinery. Utah is beautiful. The locals can be a bit odd. At least they were back in 1986, when I was stationed there. They have a lot to offer. Wyoming can be a bit overwhelming. Lots of open spaces (95% give or...
