Another option is to make a plug adaptor. My 101A2 had 12V lights on it when I got it. Below are pictures of my adaptor that took about 10 minutes to make and the 101 behind my Suburban. However, if you go the magnetic light route. Buy 12/24V LED's. They will stick to any MV you have, plug...

Dog head has a point. The real answer depends on how you have your shoes adjusted. With correct "major" or "minor" shoe adjustments, the pistons should move very little each time the pedal is pushed. If you have only done a "minor" adjustment in the past or never had your drums off then...

Looks good. Another mod done sometimes is to take a M35 front light, swap out the yellow lense for a red and put it on the rear. Leave the stock M715 b/o brake light on and everything works, you can be seen and you have another inch or so of ground clearance with is real important with the...

You can see the Dueces belonging to Pawnshop, Scott and myself in my picture. What you can't see behind that is the M725, CCKW, M1009, M813, the gun truck and M820. They went over the crest of the bridge. We had at least 5 SS members that I know of. Maybe more.

Colton and I had a blast. I managed to get this shot before the bridge filled up.

Glad it worked out. A pair of pliers, gloves, non waxed dental floss, Pliobond, 9 large sewing needles broken and about 4 hours allowed me to restitch mine a year ago after it let go.

Make sure your top lever on the 3 lever switch is one click to the right in the 1 oclock position or all the way over with the head lights on. The power for the brake light comes from the 3 lever. You can get to the plug without any tools, unplug it and put a jumper wire on the connector...

Look at the DUKW from WWII. They had a manual CTIS system that might make a good starting point for your design.

Oh, if the truck in your avatar is the '52, are you sure it is a '52? Your tool box is straight at the front which is a 1953 change is why I ask.

Antelope Valley, Memphis, classifieds here and looking at Ebay every day. The more people you know from here, the more likely you are to have a call like this: " Hey, don't you need a fording cable for your gasser? I ask because I am here at joes boat shop and he has a gasser cab for an engine...

Yes, same tools as the front with a lot less hassle.

Check the timing. Those 230's will run on ridiculous crazy advance degrees. Like 60 plus will idle great and go great until you hit 4th gear. Then just sputter. Floating points is another common problem. Check your carb because it probably needs it. If nothing else, you can mentally...

I am taking one of mine to the Veterans parade in Austin next week. Scott is correct. There are some pretty big numbers around here. Heck, 5 of us met up in Houston at the air show last weekend. Last year I think 6 or 7 of us made the Veterans parade in Austin. Even more made the "Report...

I live in a town with no NAPA, so O'rielly's got to charge me almost $30 each for the 3 belts and I get to wait until the end of the week before they get here. But, at least they are coming. I put new hoses on mine 2 years ago. Pretty sure either OD Iron or Antelope Valley had the hoses. I...

Another possible cause is the "ON/OFF" switch wasn't all the way on. I have been in several trucks that the switch was worn enough to look on, but wasn't. All in all though, I would go with the solenoid. Just wanted to bring up a simple cheap could be cause.

Thank you very much Dennis.

I was flying along at 55 mph or so in the Gasser the other evening enjoying the mechanical noise when a loud thunk came from under the hood, followed by another and then a really odd vibration. In goes the clutch and the gauges get checked. Volts still in the green, oil psi normal, temp right...

9, if yours is just leaking air at that fitting, drain the air tanks, pull it apart and replace the fitting or whatever you need to do to fix it. That is the air side. Most air packs work just fine in their job of boosting the brake pressure to the wheel cylinders with very little driver foot...

Thanks BC. That was what I was looking for. I am using my TM 9-8022 manual which doesn't show that. I am working on the Gasser, so figured the old manual would have less things that don't apply. -34 will come out tonight.

The air pack has a hydraulic side and an air side along with another part that deals with turning the air on and off. I have one apart at home and want to replace every part the kit came with. I am having trouble with the seal on the air side for the piston rod. Below are two pictures showing...
