After reading this morning's posts, I accepted the inevitable and ordered the hub puller and extra legs from Lordco (which thankfully offers a 30% military discount). This way if there is anyone else on the Island that needs it, I'll have it. (There are at least 3 other M38A1's here - one at the 11 Svc Bn museum, one at the AF museum in Comox, and another privately-owned one that is painted blue).
I have been trying to limit the amount of restoration I am doing on the truck right now, since I don't have a garage - just a carport (historically not much need for garages on Vancouver Island, just for shelter from the rain!). Just waiting for the inevitable posting to Ottawa so I can buy a house with a detached garage/shop where I can do a frame-off restoration without also getting a divorce.
