"LUCKY 13" Restoration Process

When you tapped for the threaded freeze plugs, what size plug did you use?

I can't remember for sure, but I'm pretty sure it was just a 1/2 inch pipe plug. We found whatever plugs we had laying around that was similar to the holes those freeze plugs were used for, then tapped them. The cast block didn't take to tapping real well using the tools we had, so we were sure to use an aggressive sealant to help hold the pipe plugs in place.

First, We got our shipping stencil printed and cut out.  We printed the stencil on stencil decal paper and hand cut them out with an exacto knife.  LOOOONGGG procedure.  We also got the invasion star painted on the hood and the regular star painted on the front.  Painters tape and an exacto knife for those.

I can get the other dimensions from the TM 9-710,but where'd you get the road weight from?  Did you have a reference pic to go off of?

Thanks, Tom
