I was kind of afraid of that. Can you tap a wedge down behind it maybe? Cheers

The other end of that bolt is in a keyhole shaped slot. Loosen the lower bolt, and the similar one that is about level with the bed sides. Pull the silver pin back in the slot (away from the bed side) and hold it. Lift the upright straight up about 1/2" and pull it away from the bed side. IF...

As mentioned above, the threaded holes for 2-point belts came with the truck, you just have to find them and clean them out. If you want 3-point belts, here (post 25) is briefly how I put Humvee seatbelts in mine. If you choose to go that route, I can provide more detail...

Thanks, Tim. Turns out that a lot of what I thought was flaky rust was actually just dirt and crud crusted over the top and rust coloured. Doh! Cheers

Well, Larry the Sandblaster is away and won't be available for a couple of weeks. :unsure: I was looking at the bed today and decided to have a go at the rusty area with a screwdriver to knock some of the loose stuff off and see how bad it actually is. Turns out that with the crusty crud...

I thought I was old when I first voted on this in 2009. Now I'm even more surprised when I look in a mirror. But I haven't grown up yet! Too bad the poll couldn't track itself and adjust the age groups accordingly, but it would also have to track the folks who have slipped away from us...

So... after a long and exceptionally dry summer, I get to the point where I'm ready to have the inside of the bed sandblasted and get on with painting the truck and along comes the rain. :unsure: Don't get me wrong, I'm always happy to see rain, since it makes plants grow, and when plants...

Looks like one of the S-61Ns owned by Construction Helicopters. Cheers

Well, rats!! I thought we had that one pinned down... :shrugs: Cheers

Seems like my computer is just a jerk then! :p Cheers

Two things to keep in mind when operating these trucks - When starting/stopping the engine, always top switch on, bottom switch on; then bottom switch off, top switch off. Doing the switches in the wrong order can fry the protective control box. And don't use reverse in low range, unless you...

I'm on a computer (I'm old fashioned, my phone is for making calls and occasional texting) so I just see a link, no picture. But different device types do things differently. And I don't have Twitter or any of those type accounts. Sigh....I've become a dinosaur.... Thanks for posting the...

Can you post the pictures instead of links? I just get a page wanting me to create an account... Cheers

Serendipitously, I was in another forum (on plastic model building) this morning, and someone posted exactly that - Amarillo as the official USAF lettering font. Cheers

Thanks, Mullaney. I realize I didn't clearly answer that part of his question... :confused: I edited my post for future clarity. Cheers

The 939, 939A1, and 939A2 have some differences (engines, tires, CTIS, etc.), but most of the controls are the same. Take some time to go through the -10 manual, it will explain the differences, the similarities, where everything is, and how everything works. It is a great reference source for...

Can I hazard a guess that you are not familiar with how to find the operators manual? It will explain all of the controls in detail for you. That and the maintenance manuals are all available here - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/updated-tms-tbs-mwos-for-the-m939.168990/ Go down the...

On one of my 915 trips, I stopped for a visit with family. My nephew got up in the cab and checked it out, afterwards he said "You've got a lot of hood going on there". Cheers

Congratulations on the truck, and an event free recovery (aside from navigational digressions!). [thumbzup] I wonder if its tires that make it feel squirrely at speed? I've put about 4000 miles on a couple of 915s, both were very stable at speed, but they had stock road tires on them. Funny...

Well done!! Cheers
