yeah, I know I can get the autolite plugs :) Just don't know which ones are the same spec for thread and head length, etc... as the R44's. Honestly, I don't even know where to find a spec sheet which gives that information for any of the plugs either civilian or shielded. --Wintermute

Anyone have any idea where to get the spark plug wires for an M113? I'm also looking for autolite shielded spark plugs that are the same as the R44 or R43 spark plugs for thread and head. Anyone have any ideas? :) Thanks in advance. --Wintermute

I'm sure there is...but not somewhere I would want to put them, I'd rather have them easily accessible. Besides, where I mounted them works perfectly, nothing is in the way and everything fits just right...why would I move them? --Wintermute

Got home today while it was still light out, so here are some updated pictures for ya: these are too large for the local image store requirements in SS (only by about 20kb, but I'm not gonna fool around with compression ratios just to get them uploaded here directly). --Wintermute

I didn't want to put them in the engine bay since it's already pretty cluttered with the hydro-booster and the desert air cleaner. The bed get's used pretty heavily and I need all the storage I can get there. I'm building new jerry can holders since I actually do use the extra fuel storage...

One of the pictures is after I built the new bumper and put the rhino grill on. I had to modify the brush guard to get it to fit over the rhino grill. It's been powder coated and put back on since, but I don't have a picture of the front since I put it back on. The rest are older pics...I'll...

I figured :) I've already planned on sewing up a padded top cover that will wrap partway down around the sides of the lid to protect against just that occurance :wink: --Wintermute

okay, not in a deuce (still trying to convince my wife to let me get one this year)...this is the shift knob in my M-715. --Wintermute

one more picture to attach. --Wintermute

Well, finally got all of this stuff done. Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the two piece seat brackets that I fabricated by themselves...just didn't have the time during the fabrication or the install to get pictures of them before they were in the truck. Here's the details: Seat...

So, it's a mopar concept vehicle. I spoke directly to the guys at mopar about this right after it was debuted. Their response to my question as to whether it would ever be available at either a dealer or in a kit form was a loud and long running laugh. After the guy stopped laughing, he...

hehe, my wife helped me pick out my M715 and loves it...she even named it. Guess I just got lucky. May be a bit different when I go to get a bobbed duece though...we'll see :D --Wintermute

I can store them at my place in Woodinville...couldn't pick them up though. If someone wanted to bring them to my place, I'll hang on to them until you can come get them. PM me if that's the route you want to go. --Wintermute

If the NV4500 is possible (or another alternate transmission with OD), then the RPM's for 65mph would be quite happy for the engine at only around 2053rpm. I didn't say anywhere in there it would be cheap...I hope I didn't imply it. It would cost to get this motor geared to that level (the...

Educated here as well...school of building a heck of a lot of old engines up from blown to blueprint and fast. But...figured the all red blurb with the giant caps meant angry. Giant colored lettering and all caps just isn't my thing. Specifications, measurements, noting items like it having four...
