    Harbor Freight Recalls REPLACEMENT Jack Stands

    I recently picked up a nice old set of Walker 6 ton stands, so might have to return a pair of the HF 6 tons that I have. I have another pair of 6 ton stands (not HF) that I might try putting a locking pin in. Don't think I need 3 sets of 6 ton stands. I think one of my pairs of 3 tons are...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    My son is up from Denver helping me, so we made prety good progress on the burb yesterday. Got the front clip and doors off, as well as most of the interior and a lot of small parts. Came across this on the drivers side fender, not sure what it is, part of a trailer harness, or the rear a/c ?

    K5 Removable Top

    I have never seen a steel top, I have a 85 and a 86, both fiberglass. There are a handful of bolts on each side to hold the top on. Seems like most guys that take the top off leave it off for the season, not just the day.

    Need help finding one of these!

    There's an auction coming up next week in Gillette, Wy that has one. They call it a Kidnapper. https://www.sdauctions.com/upload/1592234019_63020Floyds.pdf

    Car trailer with a problem

    I don't know how you would straighten it without a frame rack or some way of holding the trailer and pulling the tongue down. You might have to cut the tongue off and replace it. It seems kind of long, which might have been part of the problem. They must have really overloaded it to bend it...

    WANTED: Manual Rear Window Regulators

    Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, mine are buried in the shed and I didn't have time to dig them out yesterday. I did see a couple of other parts that I forgot I had while looking for the doors though:)

    WANTED: Manual Rear Window Regulators

    Not sure what the doors I have are from. How can I tell what year they are? I bought them for a 77 but they could be newer.

    WANTED: Manual Rear Window Regulators

    Are the early ones different? I might have some (I have a pair of doors that I bought years ago for my 77 crew cab), how can I tell if they are the right ones?

    1955 GMC truck ... ready to restore, but what model is it?

    Nice looking truck, big back window is not real common (at least on Chevys of that era). Can't help with ID, checked my book but it doesn't have model numbers for the GMC's.

    Wyoming ranch auction w/ several roundeyes

    Probably too far for most, but looks like about a dozen squares. http://www.brannianauction.com/2020_06_20-borgialli.html I would love to go (about 3 hours from me), but I already have too many projects.

    Considering a M1008 Cucv.... Thoughts

    Adding A/C is possible, there are a few guys on the Steel Soldiers web site that have done it. The 24 volt system just makes it more complicated. If you don't care about the 24 volt system, it's not hard to change over to 12 volts, the starter is the only thing that requires 24 volts, the...

    Considering a M1008 Cucv.... Thoughts

    Thats what I do, but my truck is mostly used in the winter, so it's not a problem.

    Considering a M1008 Cucv.... Thoughts

    Yeah, the lack of guages sucks, thinking of adding some to mine. Adding A/C would be tuff if you keep the 24 volt system, since there is an alternator on each side. You would also have to relocate the 2nd battery, since they are both on the pass side.

    Considering a M1008 Cucv.... Thoughts

    The M1008 also has the good axles, just a lighter suspension. The M1009 (what I have), is the Blazer version.

    Considering a M1008 Cucv.... Thoughts

    The axles are the biggest selling point (unfortunatly the M1009's dont have the good ones). The wiring is unique to them and if it has been altered it can drive you crazy. They don't come with much insulation/soundproofing, and are very loud inside.

    I think the 1 ton frame is taller than a 1/2 ton so that may not help.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yep, 115/145 was the good stuff. Not sure if you can get it anymore. I was an aircraft mechanic in the military. We used it when our planes were flying over water (when I was stationed in Okinawa). Under normal conditions stateside we ran 100/130 (the blue stuff).
