I looked again. It is shortened after the rear fender. Nice job and I have seen one on another site that was shortened. May have been this one. I can't keep track of what day it is let alone who owns what truck.
Now, hmmm, what were we talking about ;)
I just looked in the 34P manual and they don't seem to have a different listing (that I can see) for the M725 vs. the M715. So, maybe they are the same? I am sure one of the members will have one for sale...
Bob,
You are right and that picture was taken when we were teenagers stationed in Germany. I would NEVER subject this very wonderful engine to that kind of stress. For that matter, it is just more enjoyable to drive at 45 and listen to the whine of the gears. That is what I remember and can't...
So I guess that this speed was a little excessive, right Bob? It was taken on the Autobahn in Germany, 1970 on the way from Heilbron to Neu Ulm. I wasn't driving, just the "Picture Taker". But it was my truck.:oops:
BTW, The windshield leaked at the seam back then as well...
The address is Fernandina Beach but is actually closer to Yulee. It is in Nassau County, far Northeastern part of Florida not far from Amelia Island. I live off of the island where the house prices are more reasonable. But soon, this truck will be riding up and down Fletcher Ave, the beach road...
Thanks and yes, it did have a hard top that was somewhat caved in from people jumping on it. It pained me to have it sit outdoors for 6 months. Now, it is in the garage in Florida waiting for me to stop messing about and get moved. I am "full steam ahead" on getting to FL...
Now that I have the image thing sorted out, I hope to become more active and offer what little stuff I know here as well.
BTW, that winch is from a 2.5 ton and it has been removed! Unfortunately, the Farm Bureau went crazy with a welder on the front frame rails. Whizz whee works good if you...
I am trying to add an image to this thread. I have had problems here and I want to see if I understand how it works now.

It works. The difference is on this forum, you use "" as opposed to "[img]" in other forums...
Bob,
I am back in the US now. At your suggestion, I bought new springs and have them with the truck in Florida. My original springs have tired bushings as well. I am hoping that with a new old stock steering box, new coupling shaft and new springs, I can eliminate the shimmy that I have with...
I am not sure if you want a stock appearing truck or if you are into modification. That being said, in my situation, I wanted a stock appearing truck. There are replacement wheel cylinders available for not too much money. NOS master cylinders are there as well. AB Linn has shoe lining for sale...
Bob,
Both of those axles look terrific. Are you building them for your "Keeper" truck or for someone else? Nice work and I am sure the dogs are "Helping" you whenever they can.
That "O" ring must be good and it is often split. The needle valve must be in good condition and without debris in the fuel system. Our old rusty tanks often provide us with many problems.
I have rebuilt two of these 1920 Holley carburetors. The first one went well but still did not perform...
Nate,
Sorry that you need them now. I just took about a dozen to Florida this past weekend and you could have had one free for the asking. I actually went down stairs and looked. Yes, I took them all. Sorry...
Wait for Bob's response but you can replace the flexible rubber hose with rigid steel tubing. It doesn't have to be flexible or have numerous bends because it is short and connects from one part on the engine to another point on the engine. The engine can flex and vibrate but the tubing will...
Here is hoping that it is someting simple like a flywheel bolt or pressure plate bolt. It could be that easy... unless it were mine. Then, worst case scenario. :(
