I will defer to DD on this as well. But, my 1952 and my 1953 trucks both came with 1" mounts and the angled over shackles on them. I don't have my 1954 printed 9-8022 here at work to look at. However, the pictures in it show the angled over ones on all the trucks. Then, my 1952 printed ORD 9...
I am curious about how the roof of the bunker is still white. I pull my multifuel into my shop, cut it off right away and I have a black fog for about 30 minutes. You must have a good ventilation system in that thing.
Yeah, leave the buzzer attached and don't move if it is still making noise.
Here is a link to the Florida chapter of the MVPA:

I don't know where they are or where you are. But, contact them and I bet they will know of somethig going on near you sometime in the year...
It will work loose from a zip tie around the box. Zip tie the wires really good and then zip tie the box to something else. I learned this getting my truck home from OKC last month.
Most of the "M101A1's" listed in OK this week were M105 trailers.
I flipped my other M105 lunette ring last night. Lots of Royal Purple penetrating oil and a big sledge hammer. Took about 15 minutes from first blow to the wrench to get the nut loose, knocking the lunette loose, cleaning up...
Chris, the purpose of the star washers as I understand it is to cut through paint, rust, junk and allow a path to ground. If you are starting with a clean terminal and a clean wire end. You will have lots of contact area. Adding a star washer will reduce your contact area to just the star...
I just looked on his sight and it is not mentioned. Pistolnut who works in College Station has called me twice about it. A parade of MV's all the way through both College Station and Bryan Saturday with the vehicles in a static display for the rest of the weekend.
I can't find a sight that...
Your assumption that the truck was well maintained is logical. However, not always practical in the real world. I got a truck from GL that was said to run, it did and has for more than 1,000 miles since I picked it up with no or little maintenance. Another truck in the same auction from the...
I just learned last night from Pistolnut that Brent Mullins Jeeps is putting on a huge vehicle parade/event in Bryan College Station.
Still a long drive for you, but unless something is going on in Tyler, about all you have to choose from this week.
The air compressor has something called "unloader valves." The air from the regulator on the firewall opens these valves and makes the compressor not compress. When the regulator decides the system needs more air, it removes the air from the valves and the compressor starts pumping again...
I didn't know they had return springs. I swapped it out for another and all is well between what the two gauges read at speed now.
I had an airplane mechanical tach that read 200 rpm when the engine was off. Turned out it was 200 rpm fast running as well. This M35 tach was at 0 with the...
I personally think the lock nut is turning your adjusting nut in some.
Using the numbers to adjust a wheel bearing works most of the time. However, for a situation like yours. I would suggest this:
Pull off the outter tire. Pull the axle shaft and pick up the remaing tire/axle end. Grab...
There is a gear box attached to the t-case. The speedometer cable goes into it. Different boxed were used for trucks with different tires. That is the theory at least. I know the search feature isn't in full health today, but Cranetruck posted the different numbers for the different...
