Thank you, much appreciated👍.

I’m not sure how to take this? Are you saying I should not have posted? I can remove it

So I thought I’d jump in here to share what I did on my bobber. I had read a post previously by one fellow that mounted the Hydromax unit under the cab, rearward from the factory master cylinder, but I can’t seem to find it now. His installation is the route I decided to go, for a few reasons...

I really wish i had jumped on the Waterloo overdrive gears when they were still available. Been looking for an unused set, or even a trans that has em installed for a while now.

It’s from a MLVW, the Canadian m35

Yup, that’s the one. Planning on putting some miles on this one, so want to get it all fancied up. Lots of winter left, so should have time to get it finished up, and maybe get some paint on it too. Hopefully this summer we can all get together, do some camping. Hear a few pics of this...

Yep, what a difference. I jumped in the truck, and had to make a tight left turn, and found myself hauling on the wheel just out of habit, and had to stop myself. Next on the list, hydroboost and dual circuit brakes. And thinking about a hydraulic clutch assembly, just so I can convert both...

Hear a few more pics of the install. Shop cat for scale, lol

Here’s a few more pics of the install. The mlvw wheel almost has a luxurious feel to it compared the the original deuce wheel I fabbed up a mount bracket for the reservoir so it mounts off the engine. I was originally going to put it on the firewall, but I wanted to keep it clear for the...

So I’ve had a bit of time over the last few days to wrap up the install. I did end up going with the 5ton pump I had, and it works very well with the steering box The one thing I forgot to grab was an extra column mount for the firewall, so that was something I had to fab up.

Now my next dilemma. Should I use the belt driven power steering pump off the mlvw, and have it share the air compressor belt, or go with the lds 5 ton pump. I’m kinda leery having the single belt run the air compressor and power steering, might be more than the belt can handle. Anyone do this...

Got the box up and test fitted. Looks like it will work ok. I have about 1” between the steering arm and the tire at full lock. Mind you, I have recentered hemmt wheels, so I believe the offset sets the wheel further out than some others, so this may not fit with 395’s and other wheels. Can’t...

Well, had a bit more time tonight to work on the truck. Here’s a couple pics comparing the U.S. steering arm and the Canadian. Pretty much identical, just beefier at the taper on the Canadian.

One thing I noticed that’s quite a bit different is the size of the ends of the drag link. The taper I quite a bit larger on the mlvw than the m35a2. Luckily I grabbed the differential steering arm off the mlvw too
