So, its been a while since I have posted here, life gets busy and all that fun stuff. For a bit of a recap, I had recently done an engine swap with a "good used takeout" last summer. I had stripped it down to the block and heads and put my external components on it. Long story short, I should...

I should have one or two lying around... hint hint....

Mine at one point had multiple items welded to the inside of the bed... I only know this as the cuts from removing them was never ground down smooth. Strangely enough the troop seats and bows were painted white.

Sorry to bust your bubble, Cleveland Iron, But I just did the jumper wire mod the other day, and got the same results you got without the diode. Headlights stay off in park, and with the headlights on, my front markers are on as well. My jumper wire connected circuits 491 and 21. As a refresher...

I was debating whether to post this here or in the electrical section, but decided it was more fitting here. I have had a few issues with my taillights that were quite boggling. my right rear blinker was inop, the brake lights with the headlights were inop, with the brakes on and the left turn...

From what I have seen as far as running "additives" through oil many people I have talked to have sworn by sea foam. I have tried it in my deuce and I could physically hear the engine start to run smother over the course of half an hour sitting and running. Im pretty sure at this point it isnt...

Is there a build thread on this rig? It looks like it uncle sam purchased it that way. Really, every truck pictured in this thread so far has peaked my interest.

hmmmm.... I never cover my stack... sorry neighbors :twisted:

couple things I have learned from driving on ice and snow turning with the front axle engaged nearly always results in the truck sliding around sideways and wanting to get away from you. If you dont have an in cab heater, a generator in the bed with an extension cord and a small space heater...

if you were referring to these, they were a 37" toyo open country mud terrains on les schwab special steel wheels similar to the pro comp 97 series, the rims were 17 inch tall, 10 inches wide, unfortunately I cant remember the backspacing, an educated guess is 3.5-4.5. The 35's that were...

Ive personally ran 35's on stock suspension with just fender trimming. the pics I have posted are civy rigs I have had, the first is a 78 longbed with 3 inch body lift and 33's, the third picture was in the middle of a suspension lift with severe cutting of the fenders, up front was 9 inches of...

I drove mine down to california from washington to visit family. Stayed there about 2 weeks, driving all over the place, even ran it in a car show/cruise night. In my hometown there, my mom works at the city hall and pretty much the entire city council and police force there knows me and knew...

It looks like I have come up with a potential solution, I just need to track down a pair of steering stabilizers with at least 9 inches of travel before I continue further, but from my half way mock up, it is doable.

Dave, Just a small little story to tell you. About a year back, I was working on a K5 blazer. I had it supported on the frame by jack stands with the wheels off, however it wasn't sitting high enough to make room for the lift kit I was going to install. I got under it with a bottle jack...

Give me a week or two for R&D and I should be able to come up with something... It seems simple enough that I should be able to make a kit or two.
