Not to :deadhorse:but I'm going to have to agree with everyone else. If the tires are newish, mounted on non stock rims (MRAP's, combat rims, A3 rims, etc...), has a hard top, heater, winch is in good working order, and the rest of the truck is in very good shape then I would say that would be a...

I'd have to agree :mrgreen:. I am getting a little frustrated trying to find an engine for the price range I was hoping for though. Looks like I'm going to have to sell off some stuff to get the funds together. There was a guy selling a NOS LDT465 on here for a very reasonable price (granted it...

I have no idea... I'll search and see if I can find anything. Edit: I think I found it. Looks like an LDS, price is a little higher than I was looking for a used engine though...

Just for gits and shiggles I decided to call Hercules to see how much a new or reman engine would cost from them to replace the blown one in the bobber... and I quote "probably about $12,000". So needless to say, that's not happening. I'm going to make some calls to more local parts places and...

These compressors are most definitely low volume. Think about it, the two air tanks on the truck are relatively small and it takes about 5+/- minutes for them to fill. There are some threads about adding in additional air tanks for more capacity, granted it will take longer to fill them.

80psi is a little low. I'm pretty sure (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) that the range is supposed to be 90-120psi. That could be part of your problem.

Do you have any air leaks? Best way to tell is to let the tanks fill up all the way, shut the truck off and listen for any hissing. Another thing to check would be your air governor... how much air pressure does the truck build up when the tanks are full?

And some more:

Ok and onto pictures of some of the goodies we picked up:

The guy we got it from said it's actually a NOS winch, not a take out. It definitely looks like it, no cable wear on it anywhere. I need to look up the synthetic cable he gave us and see what its rated at, but it looks to be new. I can't wait to get the truck home and start going through it...

Ok, now that I'm looking at some pictures online, it looks like the trailer is actually either a M1101 or M1102... I'll get a better look at it when we pick it up obviously and hopefully can figure out for sure what it is. But I'm pretty sure he said its an all aluminum trailer and from what I...

Well, its sort of a long story, but I more or less ran into the guy and found out he had MV's and was telling him about our recovery of our truck and the alternator taking a crap on us. He told me that he had a couple used alternators and some other misc parts from a blown engine and I should...

So we went to take a look at some deuce parts and get 2 used alternators and ended up leaving with this: I'm a little dumbfounded at the moment, we got the deal of a lifetime. And those pictures aren't even everything, I'll get a list up of everything once we pick it all up and I get it...

Whiteowl is good people. I've called them a few times. I want to say they have take out transmissions for around $700.

There are tons of take out transmissions available on here (check the classifieds) and various other surplus parts dealers. I would check with m-35tom on here, I'm pretty sure he has new tranny's available with the overdrive gear installed.

Basically you push the clutch in, pull the shifter out of gear and move it to the next gear (but not put it in gear) release the clutch and then push it back in quickly and drop it into gear and then release the clutch like normal. The idea is to get the transmission gears spinning up to speed...

Yeah, I didn't realize the non-turbo's had smaller stacks until we went and looked at the truck. I haven't really been able to see how smokey it is seeing how I've been in the drivers seat.

Something else I forgot to add in the initial post... Being that the truck is a non-turbo it has a muffler installed. For those curious, it really cuts down on the exhaust noise. While driving back my wife and I were able to have a "conversation" without screaming at the top of our lungs. The...

I had a similar problem with our truck when we first got it. I initially thought my reverse gear was going out, come to find out the spring had come off the parking brake shoe. It causes quite the racket and a LOT of hopping and bucking in reverse.

Yes, I should have clarified. 1st and reverse aren't syncroed. So driving around in traffic is nerve racking. On our 67 I have to double clutch into 4th, otherwise its a 50/50 shot if it'll go in smoothly or grind.
