Is there a manual that has the exact specifications for the outer drive flange on an m211? I have found a guy in Tennessee who has off the shelf front selectable hubs for the GMC 2.5ton axles. He sells them for $600.00 but I want to make sure he has the exact lockout before I buy it. Need spline...
Well after all that huff and puff thinking the transfer-case we the root of my problem I have found the culprit. My C-6500 will drive forwards but at speeds over 20 you hear what I can best be described as an output from a transfer case spinning loosely on the threads, missing the splint shaft...
Well after Spicer said I should start looking for some front spring setups I found these pictures.
1. I like the last 3 because they are mounted outside of the frame which is the current position of the springs. Bad part is I would need ridiculously arched springs to maintain my suspension...
I was wondering if anyone knew about the Detroit NO-Spin that works with our axles. Here is a writeup on rebuilding the 2.5ton GMC front loaders and installation of a locker front and rear.

I have the Tulsa C-6500, it started its as an AWD 6x6 but has since been butchered by Michigan's forestry service. I'm could use some advise on how best to make the rear suspension safe. I think the pictures speak well enough for them selves not to mention the hangers are welded on instead of...
Is that second picture of a 1.5ton Chevy case or a CCKW case? It looks like if I used that case I would have to change the flanges off the drive shafts to make it u-bolt strap style. What is the rotation of he front and rear driveshafts? Shoot me a PM with your questions. I'm still looking for a...
Yeah I have more pictures. PM me an e-mail address to send them to.
Does anyone have an exploded diagram of a CCKW transfercase and a WW2 chevy 1.5ton case at all?
Hey guys. I'm the guy with the C-65. I've since decided to keep the truck after it didnt sell. Tulsa made the exact truck you are looking for from 70-75. Florida Power and Light and many oil companies had the F-600 midified using the M35 2.5 ton axles, the Chevy C-65's were made using the AWD...
The Cab, Frame, Engine, Trans is defiantly from a C-65. Tulsa put the single speed reduction case in the truck along with the GMC 2.5ton axles. I have the manual for the M211. I'm trying to replace the 1.17 reduction case with a 1:1 high case. I no longer need the two rear outputs as I only have...
Does that mean the Chevy case has a different rotational pattern. I found a link on how to modify the axles.

This guys has a Chevy 1.5ton case and swapped out the axles 1.5ton for 2.5ton GMC's. It appears that his did this without any...
Tulsa Mfg 4x4 AWD Transfer-case
Does anyone have a picture of a Chevy 1.5ton case and a CCKW case? I'd like to take a better look at both of them, preferably an exploded diagram. I just received the Tulsa 4x4 manual which confirms the case in the truck is the M211 AWD type. I'm leaning to the...
I have the GMC 2.5 ton axles. I don't exactly have the skills to fabricate new mounts so it looks like I'm going to need a working M211 case. Does anyone have a good case for sale that I can swap right in? I hate seeing the truck sit like this.
