Hi Ed,
I'm still moving around but a whole lot slower, I'm glad I finished the bed last summer as I don't think I could do it now with my health. Nothing really new on my end, except I'm a grandfather.
Stay well my friend

Great question, I also need another set. And like you think it's because of the age of the NOS ones we get.

Hi Wayne, Here is what I've used to remove rounded fastening nuts. First is a Snap-On Nut cracker NC52 or a Blue Point TSFSY15A Turbo socket. Both are possibly available in other brands, but these were my brands of choice. http://g741.org/photogallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemI...

Started the tear down to replace the manifold. First off the NOS one I bought doesn't have the three plugs where the primer hooks up, not that I use them. The engine has a rebuild tag so I don't who installed the manifold, but what I found was both the center bottom intake and the two long ones were...

Vinny, Please understand the doors are stored up in my shops attic. Also I'm a bit crippled so I climbed up and shot what I could. I file sizes are maybe a bit large so you get links to my site Wayne http://www.crayonmedia.com/wayne/m37/IMG_0634.JPG http://www.crayonmedia.com/wayne/m37/IMG_0635.JPG ...

Thanks much, Wayne

I have a complete one that came off my 63-67 B1. Where are you at? PM me if interested.

To jump in with a question. Now that my ride is road ready I'm sure the NDTs are going to need replacing in the near future. Does anyone have a link to the DIY conversion of the centers to a steel tubeless rim? Back in the old bye gone days hot rodders cut apart rims to create "reverse rims&quo...

My B1 has the cup type. I prefer that to a Zerks as too many folks don't know when to stop pumping.

From 68-69, gun trucks were around but not in the numbers that would have been seen say in 1970. 25th Id if I remember was down in Cu Chi area and though ambushes happened, I dont believe large amounts of GT's were built as to the Trans units that operated out of the Highlands. The gun trucks that ...

Honestly I have no clue what M type vehicle he was referring to. As I stated I never saw one in my AO during March 68-March 69. What the motor pool put together after I left I can only say those guy's were good. As an example, we suggested extended laterals for the M113A1 drivers to put them on top....

Before I copy paste what is below I must explain a few things. I left RVN in March 69 after a full tour. I never saw a "Gun Truck" as we the mech. Infantry ran with convoys as security. Since I was asked to write a chapter for an up coming book I get lots of emails from other folks that we...

Don't know what was original. I used Yamabond on the sealing gasket and small fiber washers under the screw heads. Worked fine for me.
