Sorry for the thread hijacking. Thanks for the GREAT information though. We now return you to our originally posted topic.... Carry on.

Valence, Thanks. That's an interesting thing about towing with the front axle lifted. Since this truck in question has had its front driveshaft removed (and we don't know if it was driven or towed to its present location), I've got to ask: Would pulling the front driveshaft eliminate or...

Thanks for NOT yet deleting this thread. It answered EXACTLY the question for which I was SEARCHing for an answer regarding Air Pack interchangeability as well as CONFIRMATION that the braking systems on the M44 series Deuces and the M809 Series 5-Tons are, in fact, BOTH "AIR OVER HYDRAULIC"...

APPLAUSE ! All I can add is.... I NEEEEEEED A TOWBAR !

Gotta LUV all the variants of the C-130. WHAT-A-PLATFORM for so many missions. I think the USCG paint scheme is my favorite of all the pattern's she's worn.

...and a SPARK is born! Glad you've got a great sense of humor. :jumpin::driver::tank:

Many flags around San Angelo, including at our LZ, are being flown at half staff today in tribute to our neighbors at Dyess AFB, Abilene, TX (90 miles north of here). The patriotic and reverent hearts of my fellow west Texans, never fails to humble my own heart.

PB, The Scriptures tell us to guard our eyes, they are the gateway for deception indeed. You were tricked into "seeing" only what you wanted to see. I'm glad you've gotten back on track. I had never thought of it this way before, but one of this evening's posts brought this to mind.... I...

Our prayers for the families and fellow service men and women following this tragic loss of life and aircraft.... 11 killed in C-130J crash in Afghanistan http://www.ktxs.com/news/11-killed-when-us-c130-plane-crashes-in-eastern-afghanistan4/35615452 Governor Abbott Statement On Death Of Four...

Was that a pun? That looks like a pun! Hey, that was pretty punny !!! :naner:

I posted that last item just 7 short minutes ago. My buddies that the tire and battery shop just gave me a call. They will be able to supply FOUR NEW INTERSTATE WORKAHOLIC Batteries AT COST ! ! ! BUT there's a catch.... He won't let me buy them until he hears back from their factory rep. In...

This situation, and your exclamation, remind me of a quote I once wrote down for future and frequent reference..... Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit. Napoleon Hill I firmly believe that we are about to see God's...

A bit of bad news this evening. It is with a heavy heart the I must announce the passing of all four Interstate Batteries that were in the truck, un-cycled for so many years. Funeral services for the batteries have not yet been scheduled as "WHOLE BODY DONATION" (aka: Core Trade-In) is being...

Great pics. Your nighttime photo op seems.... uh..... COVERT . Shhhh.

"Rig for silent running." came the command.

Have you got any additional photos? Prototypes can be highly collectible.

Yup, the winch is going to stay, for both the functionality and the story behind the truck's continued service. No word yet on the fate of the batteries.... but I told them to take their time on them. Thanks for sharing all the wisdom... and the COMEDY ! I doubt I'll be hollering, "CLEAR" in...

I appreciate your 2cents. Purely for the historic accuracy, eventually well be mounting OEM NDT tires on both the rear duals AND the front axle. One engineering reason for the duals is the ability to single a side-set in the event that one tire fails. It's called redundancy. With 10 wheels on...

Let us remember to pray for ALL who face the traumas of this and every wreck... The first responders, the investigators, those working the insurance claims and - YES - even the attorneys and their staffs. We almost automatically pray for the victims and their families, but the extended circle -...

The winch is PTO driven. Thanks, Warthog, for the tire rack info and offer. I think I've got all the parts and pieces, just lacking the fasteners which should be no problem to acquire locally. Yes, location - location - location will be determined once I get the truck home. I don't think...
