Aaaaaand .... my voting finger has become indecisive ... Cheers

Too bad you didn't get it. All things considered, that wasn't an unreasonable price. Apparently square-body Chevys have become a very hot item in the collector world. My bedless crewcab outside my buddy's shop draws regular motivated buyers, even though it is not for sale. Many just don't...

Starting this for folks to post the Independence day parades they participated in this year. Please feel encouraged to add your own posts. My group, LoneStar MVPA, was invited by the City of Lakeway to participate in their parade. We had 16 vehicles scheduled, but two had to cancel because...

I am very impressed with that work!! Cheers

Only one truck and my voting finger is already twitching! :grin: Cheers

I meant to, but was a tad off on when "the last day" was...... signed on here about two hours too late. :unsure: Wouldn't have changed the outcome, though. Well done Kendelrio! Cheers

The original bows came with a bar bolted between them to keep the tarp from sagging and the bows from wiggling. They are just metal tubing with the ends flattened, should be easy to make a set if you're interested. Cheers

I guess dragging one home counts as "Do to" :) Found this excellent condition HP-J4 in a junkyard, bought it for 30c a pound (1960 pounds). It is a DRASH trailer, designed to carry a large tent. The rear deck (from the box back) tilts 90* to stand the tent upright. It has 2022 dated Humvee...

A big "Oooooh!!" over your crane truck! Cheers

Welcome aboard! You'll be interested in doing some reading here - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m39-series-manuals.218597/ Cheers

I've used pilot headsets with a battery powered intercom for years, mainly because I already had them in my flight bag. In the V100, though, I use the standard Vic-3 intercom and CVC helmets. I've never tried a bluetooth for phone, but have just stuck a plug-in type earpiece inside the headset...

To help narrow this down, if you are looking for the paint codes for 383 camouflage (green/black/brown) as on the hood of your truck, they are - Green 34094 Brown 30051 Black 37030 The complete repaint camo patterns are in TB 43-0209 manual in the manuals forum. Cheers

Probably won't get an answer, DanJ hasn't logged on here since October 2021 Cheers

Supercharged hasn't logged on since 2016, but here is a link to the manual he mentioned - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tb-43-0209-29-oct-76-camouflage-painting-of-military-vehicles.135350/ and here is the 1990 version - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/M35/TB43-0209.pdf There are...

I have two M931s, both do the same thing when put in gear - a slight but perceptible clunk. Since you are new to the trucks, some points of advice - Pause in neutral briefly when switching from forward to reverse, and back again Never ever ever put the truck in reverse in low range, it'll...

Wow! Fifty voters this month! Congratulations to Migginsbros, and a heartfelt well done to everyone else who participated, this was a close race right down to the wire. As always, it is hard to pick just one. Cheers

It should work for both Douglas and Packard pin connectors, as they appear to be identical. I have found that a Douglas pin, with the metal shroud not in the way, will plug directly into the Packard socket. I haven't looked closely at the Douglas socket side to see how they compare. My...

I have mine about 40 miles northwest of Austin that you're welcome to borrow (near Burnet). So about 100 miles from you. In/around San Antonio would be much closer. Cheers

For some reason, no one near us does a Memorial Day parade. Hmmm... a dually M37, now that is interesting! Cheers

The advantage (or disadvantage, depending on how you look at it!) of living close to Fort Hood (40 miles) and Fort Sam Houston (65 miles) in the good ol' GL days, when everything sold cheap in big bunches. :-D Cheers
