. I don't have the skills, but there is a guy I know that uses resin casting to create what you need. I guess the first question is model scale. His site is here and I saw several things that might work. http://valuegeardetails.com/AboutUs.html

. Sometimes a pressure washer will do it. Depending on how long the rattlecan black was painted on your truck. Or some 400 or 800 grit sand paper slowly with a flat wooden black may reveal the under numbers. AND if you can supply those numbers on a FOIA request, you will have a better...

. Nicely said. No drama, just the cold hard facts!

. I would say that recruiting everybody you know in Washington State to send a letter to your elected officials in support of HB 1439 will help. SEMA is involved and if you can toss support for them as well - another plus there as well.

. AND somebody needs to help the local government napoleons understand that the SF97 is a document from our "Big National Guberment" that releases the truck from the military to its first civilian owner. You can't go back and get the SF97 form a second time or get a new one for an old truck.

. Invalid certificate. If you know how, you can bypass that. Chances are that it is the "P" portion of their certificate hasn't been renewed or was improperly applied. That is the part of the httP in the url and the only way you can pay for the request. Eventually - at government speed -...

. I am not the all knowing, but I believe that the suspension you have will do the job as it is. Fatter tires to "float" the truck in mud and slop, but you should be good with the truck you have. Thinking too that you aren't a 19 year old with both feet flat on the floor, so you won't beat up...

. The Deuce is capable of the 2.5 tons in the field. On the road, 5 tons is acceptable if you are tagged for that much weight. You absolutely DO NOT want an overweight ticket! Axles and springs will support three tons with no problem. Being nosy, what do you plan to haul?

. Yes Sir. Just remembering that is is the government and they work at "government speed". Be sure that you be as detailed as possible with your online form. Link is above, but https://www.foiaonline.gov is the starting point.

. Don't be too disappointed with whatever you might get back on a FOIA request. The most you might get is where the truck was last - maybe. It isn't like they will send you old maintenance records that were most likely destroyed when the vehicle is pulled from service for disposal.

. Wonder if you could polish it up a bit with something like jewelers rouge?

. I spotted the switch on the headlamp... Details. Again, really neat. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

. Definitely a nice writeup! Guess the warm sunshine helped?

. I couldn't imagine how neat that could have been... I have a hard time personally going to the radio shows because I know absolutely nothing about military mobile communications gear. Spending money on something has always been on things that I know a little about and I just haven't put in...

. @GTUnit , that PDF is about as complete a reference as I have ever seen for Tow Bars. It has part numbers for feet and pins and all the little missing parts that seem to disappear when buying an old tow bar from somebody. The instructions are there on how and why too. The REAL information...

. I like it!

. Is it possible that you have some sort of contaminates in the fuel? Maybe like trucks, some fuel additive will help cleanup the IP and injectors as it runs? As described, it has gotten worse with time. When did you last add fuel?

. Sometimes the term is cramming 5 pounds of stuff into a 4 pound bag. :)

. The polarity box could also have trouble passing current if it was marginal before it got wet. No fun, but cleaning all the contacts there and in the battery box , then applying anti-oxident paste should help. Assuming that you don't have sealed batteries - salt water inside a battery is...

. Any chance that you have an engine hoist? Or maybe a come-along and a tree limb? A flat heavy piece of metal that can be hung from a chain with maybe an eyebolt in the center to lift the tire... OR two friends who could lift the tire while you hustle the bead lock in place?
