. I would be happy to bring a few MV's to display. Nothing fancy or especially "competition worthy".

. At one point in time, I had a friend who spent "time in the klink". He spent time teaching me lock picking when I was in my 20's and I remember that a Master Lock is the easiest lock to pick. Shoot it, and it is tough. Pick it though, just by raking the tumblers is just as fast as a key. A...

. Why in the world would they do that? That is using old money... They need to be using NEW money. No need to send our old junk over there when our Gouberment can send new stuff over there. .

. Good Deal! Looking forward to what you find. .

. Yeah, like @DieselAddict mentioned - press in compression guage - not a good idea. Even a Snap-On. The measurement should be 0-1000.

. That road speed isn't half bad compared to a Deuce for example. Remember, when you finally get her up and running it will never be a speed queen. BUT, you will have a big ol buggy to ride when it is done. :cool:

. Nice picture of your Co-Pilot!

. I am kinda of the opinion that "all of the above" could have a lot to do with the peddle "pumping up" with time. Air bubbles could get chased further down the line, the shoe springs could be getting weak over the years (slow shoe return), a little rust on the pivot cams down on the bottom of...

. Jasper does a lot of Ford re-manufacturing for a local truck only shop here in town. I know one of the techs and the company is really happy with the quality. Thye stand behind their product as well... .

. Dilute at 10-15 percent and find yourself a piece of cardboard to start with. Spray that and see how it works - and be sure it isn't dripping and spitting. Then find an old piece of metal - that doesn't soak up the paint and see how that works. No need to make a mess of your truck with...

. Is it possible that the shoes need to be adjusted to the drums? There are 4 adjusters on each wheel. There is a hole that you slip a feeler gauge in to and if I remember .015 is a workable number. The bottom two are cams - and you can go the wrong way. The TM's (Technical Manuals) will...

. Gotta agree with you on the RAPCO paint @Mogman . It is good stuff and they have great customer service. I have placed several orders over the years, and I have never wondered when my stuff is going to arrive. Order and it just shows up in a couple of days...

. A lot like a ping pong ball in a fuel tank... Not really because most pickup tubes are filtered with a "sock" But these heaters... No so much. Trash on the bottom of the pickup tube and it is over like @Guyfang mentioned.

. IMO, regular old sulpher based gear oil for manual gearboxes and transfer cases and front and rear axles works just fine. You won't do anything but spend money you don't need to spend going synthetic in those. First time you drive through water, you need to drain and change...

. Most of these pieces of Green Iron get way less mileage than a regular passenger vehicle. If you don't drive it a lot, oil changes should be attended to more frequently to make sure that you don't gather condensate in your lube oil. If you get the motor and gearboxes hot (warm?) enough to...

. Have you considered taking the solenoid apart and lightly sanding the big washer inside the "tube" and then wiping it down and reinstalling it? Sometimes just turning the (heavy copper) washer over is all you need to do... Whatever you do, don't throw the old solenoid away. They can...

. Whhooo! Will the real BoughtNoBuilt please stand up and take a bow. If you haven't figured it out - we are gonna have fun here!

. Responding 1,2,3. Can you see me now? :cool:

. Sometimes it helps if you click on the LOGIN button that solves that sort of problem. I have clicked the "Red X" unintentionally and came back later and got a similar error (problem). If that isn't working, be sure to let us know...

. Glad to hear that you survived your ordeal!
