Those look exacty like mine. The bracket that hold on the tie-up strap is missing, but shouldn't be too hard to replace. Try misdwest military (John) or Veteran Vehicles (Bob) Both will know precisely what you need, can pull obscure parts like that from thin air, and are fair people.

Another option is to look at 24V electric heaters. You can find some in marine (boat - lower case m) suppliers. Of course, anything nautical = $$$, but it may be worth a look. I put in a great 24V wiper system built for boats. You never know what you'll find. On that note, I've been tinkering with f...

Well, the igniton switch checks out ok. On to the starter ...

I finally found the box! I used a switch made by Hobbs. On the box is stamped "76575 (smudge) 4 NO" I think I bought it at NAPA. It is a 5 PSI switch, if I remember. I also added a 60A zeener diode from my starter switch to run the pump while my foot is on the starter pedal. No priming, sw...

Here are a few pictures of my ladder, complete with CARC (oh, goodie!)

For what it is worth... I put one in my 24 V system and Am very happy I did. Would make the same choice again. Noticible better performance: she'll start right up at 20-deg below F. My truck is "mostly" stock - only changes are the ignition unit, install alternator & 4 wheel disc brake...

I tapped mine from an unused circuit breaker. The pumps don't pull that much current, but having it protected just in case something catastrophic happens is always a good idea. It is a good ideA to make sure you aren't tapping into a circuit that is already drawing lots of current -the added draw mi...

Hi Rick. I'm looking for a handfull of single male & female connectors - both Packard (rubber boot) and Douglas (metal), and/or butt connectors for the Douglas. I'll take any old cr@p snipped off of old wiring harnesses - any condition. I know ... so picky, eh? So, have you put a snorkel on your...

They did make one - you can sometimes find them at swap meets. I got mine off ePay for $30 (!), but that was a steal. I can get pix & dimensions, but it will take me a while - won't have time until late this week. Maybe someone else can chime in? I know I've seen pix in someone's album ...

I was wondering if anyone had heard of or used this method of removing rust by Electrolytic ? I haven't tried it but it sounds interesting.... http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/rust/electrolytic_derusting.htm How ironic - I'm doing exactly that with my PTO driveshaft (piece by piece). Works very we...

Thanks Paul.
I already have the hard top - just looking for the smallest of the 3 metal headliner pieces.

Does anyone have an arctic hard top with all 3 inside sheet-metal pieces? I'm missing the front one & need some measurements/pictures/drawings so I can fab one up. Second question: how are the 2 support ribs secured? I have one where the front joint has let go, and the rib can float all over the...

Let me help you clean your garage/shop/shed/rig. If you have a pile of old Douglass (metal shell) or Packard (rubber boot) connectors that you want to get rid of - I'll take them. I need a mishegas of parts & will happily use your used stuff. Any condition is fine. Yes, I'm looking for a bit of ...

The ears on some of my u-joint yokes are bent (in - of course). Seems like someone pressed in the old caps a bit too enthusiastically. I want to bend them back in to position enough to get the "+" out & replace it. What is the best way to do this? "Grab & pull" didn't wor...
