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

Been a member for quite a few years, have a m35a2, and recently acquired a second one that I decided to bob. I’m in northern Alberta, Canada, and you just don’t see many of these up here. I came across a fellow that was cutting up a few mlvw’s, and was able to snag a power steering setup off...

I believe once the pressure is released, it would open, until you press the brakes again, then it would close. I think it would have to be tried, and see whether they would ever close under normal operation, and tried in a simulated brake failure to see if they would function properly. You would...

I work in oil and gas production, and i've seen valves that do this before. As long a fluid travelling through them stays below a certain volume or velocity, they are open. If there is a broken line downstream of them with uncontrolled liquid release, they will close. Swagelock has some, as...

I'll give that a try from now on. Thanks. Glad to know its not just me!

I have been trying to search the classifieds for a part, but the search function hasn't really been working for me. For instance, I am have been trying to look and see if there are any brake hose kits listed, so I type "brake hose" in the search and it brings me all sorts of listings. The only...

Something along the lines of this
