doubleclutchinweasel Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I liked the old chromed steel shutoff and throttle buttons. Aren't too many of them left in service any more. Seems they've about all been replaced with the plastic knobs. I seem to recall 2 versions of the throttle knob. one was a T-handle and one was a round knob with a knurled OD, IIRC. 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Popular Post Derrico Posted June 19, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2023 I bought the truck from a man in Kentucky. It came from an Air Force base in S.C.. It was used by Lockheed/Martin as a refueller. The man I bought it from was going to make it a dump truck. I plan on making it back into a tractor and pull a lowboy with it. It is going to be my show truck. Somewhere along the way it was cut down to a single axle. The rear end and rear cross member have been changed. 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 If I ever do get started on my DM, I’m going to strip it down just like he did and start with painting the cab inside and out… we used to have those alcohol evaporator’s on our whites back in the Nissens days Bob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
