Thumper came over today and we dragged an old Diesel Burb outta the blackberries to scavenge the engine saddle out of the frame. This will give us the easiest shot at a simple engine mounting scenario. The old Burb had been sitting in a bramble pile for quite a few years and getting it out...

Getting some real good data sorted out. Going to look seriously at mounting the 205 case into the frame solid like the 6x case is and using a QF50 Timken elastomer coupling between the two. Coupling will handle 2000 ft lbs of torque and handle up to 2 degrees of misalignment (xy) Nice easy...

Here are a few pix The slipper is marked. The slipper slides into the reduction box just far enough to allow the joint to come apart after removing the bolts. Maybe we can get one of the mods to move this thread over and merge it with the Crew Cab crusade.

Could not find any info, so tore the center shaft apart and measured the joints. Seems to be a 1500 series joint at 4.5625 across the joint. May be able to adapt a flange'd output on the 205 to work with the center shaft that is in the rig. Will need a flange with a spline'd stub to fit in...

Hey troops Getting a good start gathering gear boxes for the CREW CAB CRUSADE (C C C) Got an HD TH400 and a nice DIVORCED NP205 Working on the design to get all this stuff crammed in the frame ahead of the 6x T case. The 205 has the standard 1310 u joints and the plan is to upfit to the...

Thanks This truck is going to end up a "Mutt" as in mongrel Keeping the axles, T case, frame, radiator frame, fenders, hood and part of the cab. Making a crew cab and repowering with a 6.2 V8 diesel backed by a TH400 trans and an NP 205 T CASE from a Ford (LH DROP TO CLEAR THE 6X front...

Just back from a 100 mile road trip to pick up the NP205 T case It's one of the LH drop "Divorced" mount type units. Dirty as sin but spins freely. $50 bill was a great deal too. First order of business is to CLEAN IT

Brakes on these are not real hard to do, just patience and more patience. If the parts are not wasted away by rust and more rust life is good.

Picked up the TH400 last night for the project Weather is going to close in here in a couple days so we need to finish getting the old tranny out and under cover. It may be quite useful to someone doing a restoration on one of these trucks.

Engine buyer showed up about 10 am and we got after the last of getting the engine out. I have never separated any of these engine tranny units before and was not expecting what we found. The buyer was under the rig removing the lower bell housing cover and I told him he would need to remove...

The deck on the south side of the house looks right down on the project. I thought the high shot was cool. Actually we did not use the Skid steer in the recent work, but it will be used today to lift the engine out. We used it as a tug to drag the rig over and get it close to tools, air and...

FINALLY Reached the goal of having easy access to the engine in the Deuce. Fella coming to get it Wed. and he is "Happily" chomping at the bit. Yesterday was interesting as the cab was finally ready to get relocated. Here are some pix taken just after getting the cab loose. I doubt the GI...

Took some serious work with the air die grinder and a brush, but got 40 layers of paint off and found the numbers. Best part is they match the title we got with the truck.

SWeeet. Thank you very much

No dash plate and we need to get a serial inspection at DMV Where are the frames on the M211 stamped It's real groady and I don't really want to buff it all Help Thanks

The goal here is to reuse as much of the $$$$ as we can Off on another subject I would love to have a Tank to play with

Hi troops Been a long dry spell with a lot going on here at the the home front. Had to get some serious "home improvement done" and the Son In Law and daughter sold their house and built a new one this summer. Waaaaaay too much going on to have any time to get much if anything happening on...

We will get after it when the weather warms up some, and at least stays warm

The vibration should not even be an issue. The material bonds to the surface and is sandwiched between the head and the manifold. The material is designed to repair castings and such that are subjected to high heat. Obviously having a clean fresh metal surface would be the best, but when we...

The task will be to plug the exhaust port well to keep junk out, then sandblast the pitted area at the top of the port and build it up with the ceramic material (Sort of like JB WELD) then let it cure. Once cured it can be ground, sanded or ??? to get the port smooth and back to the proper...
