Nice truck. Mine was in pretty much the same shape when I got it. My wife said do what it takes to restore her.

Anyone out there have a NOS fuel tank sender they would be willing to part with? Please PM me if you do.

I have not been on the site for a few months. I really like how it was redone. Just one question, wondering how come we were all busted back to Privates, I always got a kick out or the rank structure and getting promoted.

I have not visited the SS site in a few months. Nice work on the reorganization and additions. Just one question, wondering how come the member ranks were removed, I always got a kick out of that part.

Valvoline Straight 30 wt VR1 racing oil which has a high zinc content and is made for flat tappet engine protection. All my gear cases have GL4 90wt gear oil which can be a little hard to find. The newer GL5 multi viscosity gear lube will not properly protect the non ferrous metal thrust...

Almost sound like it is not an M37 harness. I had Vintage wiring of Maine build mine. Simple plug and play. Well worth the cost. They even added a couple of accessory wires I needed for my M151 under dash heater.

You can try Coker Tire too.

Have never seen any one try this, I doubt if it is possible given that the system is such a specialized unit of limited production. When I restored mine I stayed with all the mil spec stuff and have never had a problem.

Usually the bearing shell will have its size stamped into the back. IE std for a standard size, 010 for 10 under 020 for 20 under.

Welcome to the group. Interesting story on your truck.

It has been great following your build. Nice to see the excellent work. Keep posting please.

Have not been on here for awhile. Hello to my good friend Storm 51. One thing to think about is if you have not replaced all those steel brake lines and flex lines it might be good to do that too. You can get prebent kits and installing them is a days work but not that hard.

I have the drawings and specs if anyone wants to fabricate their own.

If you want to do it your self check out Then and Now Automotive. I believe they are in CA. I got a couple of kits for mine and for my spare. They specialize in parts that will stand up to today's fuels and oils. Mine has been in service now for about 3 years.
