It has been a while. I am making progress on the passengers side. My son's 16th birthday was today and I need to get it done so he can drive it. I also need it because someone ran a red light and hit me in my daily driver. It is Inop for a while. Back to the task at hand. I also got my M151...

But they needed the triangle to prove it was done the proper military way.

As a side note, I added a civy connection to my M101 but wanted to retain the military connection. Instead of making a conversion cable or connector I went a different route. I had some mil spec connectors I got off ebay that gives a tap off a connection. I put them in where the trailer harness...

One clarification. The left switch is for the black out drive. It turns the light in the grill on and off. The right switch chooses the other black out lights. One position turns on the black out marker and brake lights. Of course the middle shuts down all lights and the service turns on the...

There is a box made to house a stereo that is set up to just flush mount on the top of or bottom of a dash. It is like a little pod. This may be an option. I plan to use an old radio and siren console from a police car that I have sitting around. I have speaker boxes but am thinking of using...

Another Michigander. Welcome. I just saw this thread. I got a portion of the sash tape from LMC when I got a window and channel a while ago. I can't remember the number but they did have it. I would do like others suggest and see if you can find a sympathetic glass installer in the area.

The biggest problem I see with this is the fact that you would have a very narrow field of fire out front. Most of the time these trucks were in convoys so if you were trying to hit the guy in front it would be great. The jeeps were light, fast, and maneuverable. They could get the thing pointed...

I would be willing the bet that the "requirement" is based on the bumper height. In other words, a commercial vehicle can have a taller bumper than a none commercial. If this is the case then the obvious way around this is to build the bumper up so it complies with the bumper height restriction...

I think for the most part we all do a pretty good job but like everything, we need a little work.

Good point Gimp. Ryan, Fine thread for strength.

I could have titled this thread as Thread titles. or Titles Point being, some are very good at it and some are not. A lot of times I see a vague thread title and do not look at it at all. The threads per day seem to have gone up greatly as of late. I used to read all of them but do not...

That is the problem with online discussions. No non-verbal communication and a lack of inflection. I know he was not flaming me I just take it real personal when my integrity seems to come into question. With my profession integrity is everything. I will post pics both of the restoration and the...

Is it that the beat up trucks appeal to you or is it that you get used to the truck after you beat it like the dead horse smiley? :deadhorse: Paint the wrecker already!!!!!!!!!!!

Newer battery chargers have a battery "renewal" setting that is really just desulfating for the uninformed. It takes about 24 hours. If it is to far along to do any good it will tell you this also.

If you have had a nylon tarp on something long enough for the tarp to come apart then I think it might be time to drop the price a little.

That truck is really beat up. I wonder if Bubba put in a small block.

The website if for M151's. It is http://g838.org. I may have taken it wrong but I kind of took exception to a guy that does not know me making assumptions like that. At least here you guys know me and know I would burn the remains of the batteries. Battery acid can be neutralized leaving the...

There is a special gun used to weld the stud on. You just press it to the metal and pull the trigger.

If I had a way to get them I would be all over those troop seats. I want fiberglass in the worst way. Chuck

I post the same request on another site and the whole thing turns into a rant about properly disposing of the rest of the battery. Someone actually said if I was in NJ that I would be arrested on site for trying to recycle a battery without a top. First the guy just made a statement saying he...
