Angle pieces

I would think Beachwood Canvas would be one that would know to have the angle pieces pre-installed. This is a very strange situation as i too have never heard of anyone not having theirs already installed in the top.

Angle pieces....

Hmmm, I would have thought the angle pieces would have been sewn into the top as mine were. At any rate there are three to a side and they fit into the three corresponding slots above each door window. As a piece of advice, have a second set of hands to help you when installing your top. You need to...

Super Nanny....

I find it funny that if you go to the Super Nanny website and read her bio, you will notice she doesn't even have children. Yet, this person is an "expert" in child rearing/discipline. I guess she has a degree to back it up. What a joke! I simply laugh at all those idiot parents whose kids...

Gov't intervention

tstephenson; The recent proposed Mass bill to ban spanking also goes along this line. This is getting to the point of ridiculousness. All I have to say to those in Mass. is they had better watch all the Super Nanny reruns, because sparing the rod(and I am by no means religious) breeds monsters, as h...

Agreed...

Hello Nickathome, I have been trying to find a hardcopy of that research paper I wrote just for referances but no luck. In the past I thought about gun control as well as other enactments that various politicians are trying to pass, and my question was "how can these politicians have no common...

Armed society...

About 13 years ago when I was in studying in U-Mass Boston, I had wrote a research paper for a business ethics course, regarding how safe it is to have an armed society. Bottom line was (at least for then and I am sure it still holds true) that the safest state to live was NH, where one person coul...

Correct Star size?

Guys; Were there different star sizes on the doors of M37s? Was there a standard size to the stars? The star stencils I bought from Rick Larson are 16". I have seen M37's with this size star, yet the outline of the old star under the paint of my truck seems larger than this. I have not measured...

Its the cowl vent....

If you are referring to the small door in front of the windshield just behind the hood, its the fresh air cowl vent. There should be a lever under your dash board that is used to operate it.

Lug Wrench

I must say that the military style lug wrench that I have works fine. Yes, there is some tight spots on a few of the lugs, and I did have to take a file to the inside of the wrench to remove some burrs to get it to fit on the lug nuts better, but it works and works well. That long 3' bar makes remov...

Gun debate

I've been following this story closely. I am curious to see where the supreme court goes with this, although its pretty simple IMO. "The right to bear arms shall not be infringed", doesn't pertain to one group or another, it pertains to everyone. Its as simple as that!.

Paint

Also, for the most part the older trucks were painted a different shade of OD than later B1 series trucks. Any of the paint dealers however can guide you in this regard.

Wax on windshields...

Yeah but doesn't wax on a windshield cause the wipers to skip when you do need to use them? I remember waxing my windshield on my bread and butter vehicles but stopped because of this.
