    Well, I done did it. Won a m1078. Need to get it home... In Wahington - any suggesti

    It's a gamble to buy at auction without inspection. I got mine at the right price. It was about 99% complete... but you never know what the Army dudes will take and cut off the truck. You also cant see all of the rust. Biggest thing it time... I wanted to have this on the road in 2018 but with...

    Question about windshield gaskets

    I went out and spent big bucks on a new windshield gasket. When UPS finally got it here I see it's not the same as the one that was on the windshield. There is no corner molded in to the gasket like the picture below. It looks like the profile is the same just no molded corner. So my question...

    What are you using to seal up the turret cover?

    So far I have ordered some foam strip from Mcmaster Carr. Its as close as I can find that matches the stuff called out in the TM. I ordered some copper crush washers also from McMaster Carr. I agree that there could be a leak from the screws. I picked the copper crush washers because 1) they...

    What are you using to seal up the turret cover?

    I see the TM calls out a aerospace polysulphide sealant to seal around the top and screws. I was wondering what you people are using? Thanks

    I am looking for some spring nut thingies for the grill

    I have scoured McMaster carr and I have not found anything there. I have found a couple of things that may work but I will have to get some. The square is 9MM and that seems to be not too many. https://autobodyclips.com/product/12569/ https://autobodyclips.com/product/19505/...

    I am looking for some spring nut thingies for the grill

    I am getting ready to install the grill and I need some fasteners to install it. Number 5 is a "NUT,SHEET SPRING" and I can not find any. I don't need the exact ones if there is something that will work as well. Does the A1 trucks use a plastic fastener? Anybody have any suggestions or leads...

    Source for 5/8-18 thread wheel stud flange nuts?

    McMaster Carr is your friend. You may do better on price (not by much) but there are one stop for most all of your needs. Plus the years I have delt with them they are the best.

    Looking for the windshield washer elbows

    I would try 511.105 as part number with them for the majority of the switches. It crosses with NSN 5930-01-381-7489 and the army tank command part number of 12378620-002. I think this is just the switch and not the lens or light I believe. I only give this a info as I have not tried this. YMMV

    Buzzer with volume control?

    First off I believe mine is dead as it seems someone shoved something into it. I have also noticed than every one I have seen has tape covering it. Anyway in my search I have found a couple of replacements that have adjustable shutter over the top. This acts as a volume control. I think this...

    Looking for the windshield washer elbows

    Found the correct ones... Part number is 192.518 and 3 shipped for 15 bucks. BTW the part number is the same in the TM. Rome Truck Parts http://www.rometruckparts.com/products Looks like that can get all of the windshield wiper parts also but I didn't ask. They are a sprague dealer. They also...
