. A lot of it depends on what is on your Title or Bill of Sale. Most departments of motor vehicles seem to lump these into the "Utility Trailer" and that helps the former military vehicle blend into the woodwork (so to speak). If they happen to ask you, utility is the key. You wouldn't be...

. When you remove the gauge panel, you may or may not have a decent ground. The Zeus fasteners are all you get in the "factory" configuration. Our SOP with rewiring was to build a ground to each gauge and one wire out to a known good ground. .

. Yeah... Kinda crummy, but the site doesn't host videos. Gotta go to YouTube or somewhere similar and drop a link in a thread here. Just hope that one day that site doesn't disappear because twenty percent of the content here would go away too. :-( That is a neat looking trailer! It sure...

. Only thing I need to suggest is that somehow before you get too excited - you need to figure out some air conditioning. Inside that tin box in the summer even with the hatches open it gets pretty dang hot in there!

. Properly adjusted shoes help with wear. The goal is to get as much shoe in contact with the drum as possible. Sounds like yours might not be "quite right" since all the wear is in the center of the shoe. You mentioned brake pads. Sounds like you have disc brakes but I haven't seen a 936...

. @GunnyM1009 Step by step with pictures... It will take you hours to post and note those pictures, but that guide will last forever! Can't wait to see it. --- @cucvrus THANKS for the pictures! Little notes along with an explanation is great. Sure us useful to know what is on the other...

. @Dixon77 , I just had to put in my two cents worth, but the more I saw in this thread - all the guys who replied before me covered everything. That is pretty amazing but it speaks highly of the crew here @ Steel Soldiers. Lots of good folks and lots of people willing to help out each...

. Hey Guy, I thought we couldn't talk about PolyTicks on this board :cool:

. Also might be good if you could be more specific with WHERE exactly in Arizona your truck is (if I inderstand correctly). I know for sure that there are several folks here on SS that are in Arizona. Respectable folks too.

. Funny... But not laughing. The more you use the TM's the better it works. Eventually you start to understand their terminology. Rubber Bushings seems simple enough, but it almost drove me nuts trying to find that in the TM's. Can't remember for sure but it seems like I finally discovered...

. For whatever it is worth, we don't really get straight up hard evidence of the specifications on these trucks. The crane in particular has problems where you get pictures of (for example) the rotation manifold. All you get is the outline shape of that part in the TM's. The valve body in the...

. Wow! Looks like you done good! That is a good looking truck and the goodies in the tool pockets make it even better.

. Yeah, you can set the default App on your Android when it asks Open with App1 (Chrome) or App2 (TapaTalk) by choosing ALWAYS as the default action. Be a little careful - because choosing always can make a mess if you choose the wrong thing.

. Never thought about that before @chucky , but having a ladder that is not attached to the truck would be really good. You could have a longer ladder that went all the way to the ground. Stepped out away from the truck so you could hustle things up on top would be infinitely better than...

. Wow!! That definitely has the dimensions. Well Done @gringeltaube ! Anybody without Acrobat can see most of the image below... (edited to show the entire drawing, as PNG file)

. One other thing worth knowing:. I happened into the fire cabinet where all my spray cleaners are stored this weekend. There is a spray called Deoxit that cleans and helps contacts like "the relay to the board" connection. It does amazing things...

. Your truck is looking Good!! Lots of work and the best part is that YOU did it. Somehow that just makes the smile that much bigger as you roll down the road... :)

. There is a low tech tool to test the bearings. Unbolt the rod cap, apply some Plastigage. That will show you what the bearings are doing...

. Looks really sharp for sure! You definitely have a nice vehicle. It would be a nice place to sleep out in the woods! AND thanks for the extra pictures!

. Agreed... That shift lever shouldn't be that hot. Even on a hot day, anything more than "air temperature warm" is hotter than it should be. .
