I've moved 2 CCKW (one from WA to PA, the other from FL to PA) and NEVER paid more than $1.25 per mile.. DOOR TO DOOR, loading, insurance etc.
What are you telling them that gets you a $3.50 quote? I just moved my last CCKW (non runner) from Ft Lauderdale FL to Gordon PA.. 1200 miles, for...
RE: Re: RE: Share a load GI?
In Dec 2007 i paid $1500 for a CCKW hauled from Ft. Lauderdale FL to Gordon PA on a custom rollback. Door to Door, and the thing didn't run or even have air in the tires.
Thats 1200+ miles for slightly over a buck a mile.
Everybody quotes $2-3 a mile, I have...
There has to be some specific things that NEED to look right.
General stuff like puddles under the truck, wet/weep marks on brake backing plates, around seals etc.. thats the easy stuff.
My main concern are the injector pump (expensive fuel dodad I've head about) and turbo.
I know you can't...
Annville (Ft. Indiantown Gap) is like 20 miles from my house.
GL shows a lot of nice M35s.
GL also says that site is unmanned... does that mean no preview? Or should I call and schedule an appointment?
I've read the 'post purchase checklist'.. but what are some tips on PRE PURCHASE...
That or they just won second place in the local drifting competition.
First place was a llama towing a yugo body.. low CG and light weight will win every time.
Use a title service.. done all the time. Costs like $200 for service.
The less DMV has to help, the better. Some sates are ridiculously easy (AZ was one) other are ridiculously hard (CA).
The seats look good. There are 4 different bodies (Ford, Willys, ACM I & II IIRC) and there is a chart that shows the characteristics of each 'model'. Depending on year you *should* have a certain one. A production 45 would have ACM II. Basically the bodies went from vendor specific to...
RE: jeep diagnosis
Motor looks good... right air filter, regulator, oil filter, carb looks wrong (might be a Solex, popular replacement to the origial carb).
You are missing a piece that goes from the air filter (big black thing on the firewall) to the carb. Thats bad... engine using...
Nothing I said mentioned modifying the original anything. I said running ONLY a by-pass filter is not good, for the reasons I stated.
TP filters are DEPTH filters. The oil runs DOWN the length of them. Regular oil filters push oil through the 'flat side'. Regular oil filters need that...
From the pics it IS NOT a FORD. Its a Willys MB. See the tool box lids and key locks? The lids are flat and the indets around the locks are round = WILLYS MB. So if you are looking to collect you got a mix-master.
Couple of warnings: Several pics show rust UNDER the paint. Plus the rear...
Most ppl have no understanding of how even a regular plain ol oil filter works.. then throw in 'by-pass' and toilet paper filter... watch them try to be intellegent by making offhanded and somewhat witty remarks.
First: you still NEED a regular filter. You cannot run a bypass only filer...
I give the man his due credit for saving all that iron.
I hope they are willing to part out some CCKWs (not the rarer ones) cause other than Europe there is no real 'stash' of CCKW parts in the USA of this magnitude.
I got a partial kit (missing a few small parts) for a T-17 Bendix hydrovac. They used the Series II like the CCKW but I have not cross referenced the T-17 parts with the CCKW parts (I do have a hydrovac rebuild TM.. so that should help).
Anyone else use these kits? I have a complete 'master'...
I drove my Ram 1500 from PA to AZ to get my Jeep. Most fun I had in a long time. Talked on the cell phone most of the way (Free LD after 7pm) and driving through AZ in the middle of the night with nary another car on the road is spooky in a cool sort of way. Got out and just looked at the sky...
Be aware that any grit larger than 80 will need about a 3/16th orifiace and 20+CFM @90psi to cut metal.
Any media at 80 or higher will work through the smaller 1/8th nozzels and work well with less than 15CFM.
I bought $20 of black beauty at 50 grit and it will not go through my nozzle without...
