ZiggyO here on SS had some NOS ones the last time we talked. Might be worth a PM.

RE: Re: RE: 1st Time Painter - How do I Thin Gillespie Paint I live in a small town and Ace Hardware is the only place in town to get it. I never have bothered to look in the big box stores though.

RE: Re: RE: 1st Time Painter - How do I Thin Gillespie Paint You can go as much as 2:1 Gillespie to Xylene. But, you will be walking a fine line between just right and really runny, shiny paint. I got on the wrong side of that line 2 too many times. So, I now use a 3:1 paint to Xylene...

Joe's way works. So does getting any car plug wire, stripping the insulation back 1/2" or so. Then just unscrew the #1 wire at the cap, bend the core of the civilian wire back, stuff it in the cap and do the same to the military wire end. Zip ties and duct tape could be needed to hold...

Here it is a few hours later. All summer ready except for the bikini top. I have to help my neighbor pull his tractor through some woods Sunday and need the truck as low as possible for that.

My county has a fair and a rodeo each May. So, they kind of combine the events and Memorial Day and have a single parade for them all. Today was the parade. The local VFW approached me a year ago about me driving them in the M715. We did two parades last year. They made me an honorary...

I almost started typing before I finished reading what you found. I had a vehicle I wired up a few years ago where a pusher fan was wired directly to the A/C clutch. My thinking was that when the a/c was on, the fan would always be on as well. I wired it up before I charged the system in the...

If you grind it flat a little on the side, your brazing will be better. I made one of those for a guy's M715 last summer. He wanted it so the spoon was facing the dash and the fuse end was next to the steering wheel. He got it.

There is a pin that goes side to side just below the groove for the boot. That would be my next step suggetion. The -20P or -34P should show it if you want a picture.

RE: Spark problem, oa-331 I am glad to read that about revving and manifold heat ACE. I drove my 1952 M35 legally down the road for the first time yesterday. I soon found out that revving it was the only way to get any speed and that my manifold was 500-600 degrees after a 5 mile drive. Now...

It ran great until I got to 4th or 5th gear. Then it kind of lost all motivation to go faster. The more I drove it, the better it got though. I guess idling for 18 months kind of left it needing to be blown out. Colton thought it was great that I picked him up from school in it. He even...

RE: Spark problem, oa-331 This is going to sound silly, but spark plugs that spark in open air and under compression, don't always spark under partial compression. Ever seen a spark plug test stand? They are sealed boxes that you pressurize. Most plugs will spark with no pressure, but as you...

Look on the end of the trunion bearing caps. (the bearing between the rear tires that hold the rear suspension to the leaf springs. My 1952 has a date on each axle and the trunion caps. Along with the data plates. Does the truck have the 3 legged fording cable next to the glove box. All of...

Page 20 of this manual just does like you mentioned, "check with gauge." But, the picture shows the float angled a little. http://www.tocmp.com/manuals/Carbs/Holley/885/content/MCarbHoll885_1957_B164_index_0004.htm On my OA331 with the same carb, I set it level and noticed a burble every...

I just had to explain to my students this morning what each side air line was for and why. I also explained about the "non logical" handle position compared to the rest of the world. Thanks for giving the logic behind the handle position because I didn't know "the rest of the story."

RE: Good Duece Day! The truck doesn't look any different now than it did the last time I posted pictures. But, I will probably get a "drivers view" shot on the way home tonight just because I can.

My students and I have been working out way around the Gasser for the last 3 weeks. New grease in every bearing, new seals, cleaned out wheel cylinders, new shoes if needed, round drums, every single brake line replaced and all the brake hoses as well. New oil in the trans, t-case and axles...

RE: Re: Pics of the motorpool Looking real good Dave. Nice to somebody else likes the small bucket lights on the M35 as well.

I saw a pair of the turnbuckle things that go on the back of the drop side bed trucks on E-Bay a year or so ago and didn't buy them. I haven't seen any since. Does anyone here know of a source for these things? Thanks

There is a guy over in Albion that redoes the WWII vehicles. That should be the same rotor as yours. I can't find his web site right now though. I used to live in Kendallville and some old friends sent me his info is why I know about this guy. Do you by chance subscribe to MV Magazine? I...
