    water leaks

    Pick up a few tubes of the urethane caulk at a glass shop that replaces windshields. They have the good commercial quality.

    water leaks

    I had water leaks in my M1009 cap also. I knew I would never remove the top so I took my utility knife and cut the old gasket from the outside. I then caulked the seam with black urethane windshield caulk, smoothing it out with plastic spoons before it cured. I left the excess caulking ridge...

    M1009 - Winshield wiper blades not touching glass to clean - bend or reset?

    You must still be in a drought alert done there. If so I'll send some fresh snow down to you; I do accept PayPal

    1943 Federal dump truck

    Thanks for the link Steve. I researched it last knight and ran across that same photo. That is the same truck but the one I'm looking at is green with a lot of painted duck tape holding the windshield s in place.

    1943 Federal dump truck

    Give me a break, I'm still new at this. Ill try to snap a few photos this week if the snow doesn't cover it up first. Besides I don't own it yet and I don't want the price to rise if I show to much interest. The owner says it runs. I saw a lawnmower gas can hooked to the carb with a rubber hose...

    1943 Federal dump truck

    I have a chance to purchase a 1943 Federal dump truck in what I think is in restorable condition (model 2-G 2 1/2 ton). I wonder if any one knows the ins & outs of this truck. I am worried that parts may be hard if not imposable to find, making this a costly restoration vs. finished value. Any...

    CUCV antenna mount and guard measurements?

    You can find the mounts and brush guards on e-bay from time to time. I believe someone is selling a brush guard/mount kit (NOS) for around $85.00. A few mounths ago I bought a new brush guard for $15. and a new mount for $40.
