After reading this post, I went and looked in the motorpool for the first time. I never bothered to look , great pics! I will get some posted after I finish a few things.

I have a connection that will give me a free set (3) of 5 ton axles, I just remembered that, if anybody in So Cal gets it, I'm sure you can have the axles for dirt cheap maybe free.

I just saw this thread, I live in Santa Clarita and would be more than happy to help you look at some trucks and help you out. I think you are covered with the troop seats and a cargo cover for not needing seat belts. Technically you would need a class B license since it has 3 axles and weighs...

I'll check that place out, I didnt know they sold a hinge kit seperately, Thanks

Hello, I finally got a dump bed hoist and pump but now need to figure out a hinge set up for the rear. Does anybody that has a dump bed have any pictures of the hinge set up they can post to give me an idea on how to make them? Thanks, Devin

Way cool, Congrats [thumbzup]

I sent him a message to see if he would share his reserve price but if you are interetsed in it Gary, I will stay back and laugh as you drive it home :wink: On a serious note, I would be extremely embarrased driving that around which is hard to do. Will, I might have that grille guard laying...

I couldnt believe this when I saw it, then I saw he was from Palmdale and that explained it all. Sorry if anyone reading this is from Palmdale but you know what kind of idiots are out there, its the new Compton. They have all migrated north from South Central LA and now its a nice blend of...

I would just take one of the other bolts out and bring it to a hardware store and match it up as best as possible.

Last week I was under my truck and found all my driveline bolts loose on the short driveshaft between the tranny and transfer case. Probably a good time for everybody to get under there and check them.

Thats the first time I have seen carpet in a duece, looks great.

I had a 6.2 that I added an ATS turbo kit and it was still felt underpowered with 12-15 psi of boost, ended up melting pistons in it (not me but my buddy did). I really think you will be disappointed with the end result after spending buttloads of cash and time when you could just drop a multi...

Napa has the gasket, dont have the part number but I just told them what brand tranny it was and he came back with the right gasket.

I have used the roll on Herculiner from pepboys. I did the entire fiberglass body of a lifted golf cart, it came out awesome. I will try and digup some pictures. The stuff is very durable especially after several coats. I think its about $70/gallon with a mail in rebate. It can be ordered in...

Well, I used semigloss OD made by Aervoe to paint my truck and I would recommend using hardener, which I did'nt. The paint was soft and spungy for months afterward and when I try to sand it off it just clogged up brand new sand paper like a bunch of tar balls. I probably got it from where you...

Well if its ever a really hot day and you have sweat pouring down your forearm and are trying to bypass the starter switch by jumping it with the end of dikes because its bad, make sure your forearm is not touching the dashboard because it will shock you, I know! Just my safety advise.

My first new truck was a 92 F150 with the 4.9 (300 C.I.D.) Inline 6. It was a great motor, a little thirsty for a 6 cylinder but I loved it. I dont think much changed with them over the years besides adding fuel injection.

I see an opportunity for aftermarket super duty bumpers. Could be a money maker if you have the time. [thumbzup]

That seems to be a pretty good deal, from what I've seen those usually bring in more $ than M105's due to them being more regular truck friendly. The Hummer crowd will pay a pretty penny for that on Ebay.

I wouldnt do it. In my experiences, the 6.2 is fine for a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton truck that doesnt haul heavy loads and economy is needed. The empty weight of a duece would really make that motor work really hard and without a trubo, they are absolute turds. If you were going to do all that work to...
