Doc,

Look up www.surpluscenter.com They have quite a few CVT units, right angle drives, both up and down speed units etc. All kinds of "good stuff".

Had to be a Trailer House mover as you can see the extendable mirror bracket across the cab top.

Thank you for bringing this to the attention of all. Those two deserve sainthood more than just a Medal. Does show the dedication to which Marines are trained. Once a Marine - Always a Marine.

Took out hundreds of them over the years as a fleet mechanic. I always used a set of 16 inch channel lock pliers set in the right channel to make the jaws teeth grip on that cap.

The wheels used with the "innie" hubcaps had a different drop center area which would interfere with the caliper when tightened down with the lug nuts. When I changed to disks, I went with later wheels and "outie" hubcaps. This is on the Uni that Doug (64 Ranger) now has. I think...

With you on that, Skip. I spent from 1957 - 1967 in USMC. When they shipped us back from Chu-Lai in 1966, we slipped in after dark in S. Cal. and were told to disappear. Just not right.

Doc,

Ck your PM.

Fred

Chris,

Thanks for the memories. I ran a Pete like the first one for many years, Solid black color, Tall Canadian Cab, 350 Cummins, 6 Geared Main with a 4 Geared Brownie. Excellent setup.

Fred

Pat,
Same number in my class 20 some years earlier and about 4 to 5 hundred miles north of you. I'm coming up on my 55th since Graduation. Many more to you.
Fred

Alan, In answer to your question about the wheel covers, the Steering knuckle "U" joints are directly behind those covers. I don't remember the name of the manufacturer of that particular front drive axle as they were not that popular out in the Civilian world and I have only had to do wit...

Jerry, Don't know if they are still there or not and not sure if they handled the smaller stuff but there used to be a truck junkyard on 19th Ave just north or south of the old freeway just after it makes the corner in Phoenix. I haven't been there since the mid 80s and back then I only dealt with b...

I agree with Alan, only one member lives in Globe. Might change it to "Planet" or something. But it is very nicely done.

Fred

Yes I have sneaked back in-country again in my comes and goes and I do check in here every now & then. Just depends on where I am. I do think of this Motley Crew quite often and miss all the comraderie of the bunch, although when I do check in, it's the same as if I never left. I still see the f...

I thought the discussion was about Shirley.

Fred

To All, Still hanging here for a while yet. Lots of things still up in the air yet as far as my situation goes. Just wanted to position myself to do what may or may not come to be, and wanted to be sure my pickup stayed in the "Family" so to speak. I will continue to check in here. Thanks ...

That's actually a good price for one that looks as good as that one does. Nobody makes them any more and they are very functional during the summer. I've seen them go for a lot more in that condition.

Fred

Those are Aircraft Control Cable Pullys. I have a few of them for my airplane projects. They do come in various sizes, if you wanted to make different size 'wheels'. If you can get them for a couple bucks, do it, cause they are very expensive new. They do have a ball bearing in the middle so they ha...

Sounds like a deal to me, Check will be on the way today.

Fred

Hey Pat,

This is very very good, I like it.
