The initial sales tax was paid for the truck to be transferred from the government to the new owner. Every new owner owes sales tax whether they register it or not. The only reason they take care of the tax when it is registered is so they get the tax on all the person to person sales. If you...
The nice weather out kept me out of the garage for the most part. I assembled the blast cabinet and did some rearranging in the yard. I had my donor M151 in the weather with a tarp along with my new deuce tires. Both tarps dry rotted and opened up so I moved the stuff a few doors down to my...
The military just rated them higher. No actual difference to the springs. The K means 4x4. C means 2 WD while our trucks are actually D for government contact vehicles. Blazers usually have the number 5 so they would be a K5 or C5 for a 2wd blazer. There were a few but no cucv 2wd blazers. 10 is...
GSA issues the same sf-97. They are for all federally owned vehicles and all come out of federal service with the sf-97 so if they know how to handle gsa vehicles they should know how to handle GL vehicles. That is except for the fact GSA actually gives out SF-97s in the name of the buyer unlike...
Mike,
Thanks for the write up. I think you used hyperlinks instead of just attaching the image. If you attach the image we can see a thumbnail then click on it for a full size. That is one of the cool things on this site. Loading photos are easy. I have always thought about doing this...
I have stated before that the title companies use the same tactics as professional car thieves to get titles and have said this could happen. Glad to see someone confirming it.
I will have more pics this weekend as I plan on cleaning up the residue from the spot welds, getting off the rest of the side along with the residue of the front fender, and rust treating all the rust. I hope to also prime the welding areas with weld through primer. I will do some more dent work...
Eriks Surplus
They have it listed as $1 a foot and they say a deuce will require 60'. I would guess that includes the cab cover also. You can get a whole role from GMA covers but I don't know if it will be any better than the $60 price. There was a thread about a group buy a while ago but I do...
I probably could have done with only putting on a new fender but the other owner already bought the panels. You had to look real close to find any rust problems on this one. Most of this is collision damage. Look real close at the first pic of the side panel off. The white patch is bondo. There...
Today I got the rest of the exterior brackets off and removed most of the side along with the fender. The fender had been replaced once and was brazed in. The rear of the front fender lip was rebuilt with about a gallon of bondo. Next to get the interior brackets and reinforcement off and...
After the detailed pressure wash I decided I would chemically strip then run over it with 80 grit and spot blast it. The pressure washer exposed the weak areas. I think spotting the rust is enough. Except for a few problem areas, there is only rust where the paint was scratched off. Today I got...
