All the driver side tires are flat. These tires are all junk, I have a set of new 395s to put on it. I've moved it around abit with 4 flats, to get it out of where it is and into service. Other than dog-tracking funny, it doesn't seem to mind 8<)
So, judging from the engine decal and the serial number, its a 1993 ? It has the one piece hood. Dash pic of it running, though it hasn't warmed up yet.
When you published this thread, YOUNG GUN, I saw the pic of your A3 on the shore line and said to myself " I gotta get one of those." So I got one. It doesn't have a winch yet or 395's but thats in the plan, 395s first. Thanks for the inspiration 8<) I'll get pix tomorrow.
So I had a 1966-ish M109 multifuel, got out of it and into a M1009 CUCV, now I'm getting out of the Blazer and into a '99 A3. I loooove the sound of that CAT purring 8<).

For my next project. I understand the deuce can pull the trailer, but I'd like to have lots of design margin = 5 ton. Just thinking for now.....gonna go look at at tractor...just look <wink>
I got a kick out of this : another customer sees my truck at the mechanic's. All around is a sea of OD green and tan MVs in various states of restoration / repair. In the middle is my Blazer, bright red. : "Its like a flower at the dump" he says .
I like it 8<)
I'm glad I didn't do it myself....those seals are wayyyyy in there. Just about everything has to come apart to R&R them. Kind of a dumb design. And alot of dirt comes out of those tubes. But now one more leak is fixed and I am happier with the truck. Tranny fluid leak is next.
