We had diesel fired heaters attached to all of our water buffalos in Alaska. It wasnt the immersion heater referenced in the TM, it sat on the trailer forward of the tank and was permantly fixed. I owned several of uncles, but I never personally used one. I believe it was plumbed into the...
OPSEC fellas. Posting images of destroyed coalition equipment, discussing the action and the result can help the enemy. Might seem silly considering the amount of these types of photos out there, but I know I wouldn't want my photos to contribute to enemy success. Just something to think about.
Looks nice. I'm no pro by any means, but 9k is around what I might expect to pay from a private buyer for a very nice truck already titled and tagged. I'd say thats pretty high if you intended it for resale. With the prices I've seen on these lately from GL I'm surprised it was that high. If...
That's still a pretty early deuce if those axles are original. Cool it stayed in the system as long as it did. Wonder what it's been doing for 58 years in the service.
Finally found it... here is where I bought a case. I went for item #22, 20 tubes of GAA. Not sure how the price compares, but shipping was fast and more importantly, he had it in stock when I wanted some. GAA
A "kid" is probably the first person people expect to jump out of the cab... Only a kid in uniform. The majority of your truck's drivers when in service were probably kids 19-25 or so.

Wow. That's going to be a long haul, should be fun though. Get ready to pay some big $$ for fuel if you're going through Canada. Get 'er done before winter too. Winter is not far off in AK.
If the scale was recommended by Tinker AFB to weigh in before or after a PCS move then the chances are really good that the scale is certified. Joint Travel Regulations require weigh in on certified scales only. The slips you submit for reimbursement after a PCS move must be legitimate. PCS...
Not sure about 'Nam but 2" is about what we use now. Again, not sure about Nam but the lettering now is not the same from unit to unit. Everybody it a little bit different in regards to size, font and quality. I'm sure that didnt help much at all.
For small spot rust removal on my former 101 trailer, fuel can olders, pioneer tools, etc I used a wire brush on my dewalt cordless drill. I used my dremel w/wire wheel on some small stuff for about a minute then realized it was just too small. I say use the tool that the job needs but a dremel...
