Hey, quick thinking on your feet cjcottrill. Hopefully nothing else was damaged, and you get that shifter replaced uneventfully. ALFA2

TaylorTradingCo, this is a really neat idea, and the one you have the pics of looks like it was meant to be made that way. Did you leave the gear sets in, or did you remove those ? Also how did you title it, Home built, or M105 type trailer? Thanks. ALFA2

Unless it get over 110 F + and stays that way all day, you should be OK, just let the clutch out gently, and stop very smoothly. Tires over 65 PSI, will be noticeably harder on the asphalt then at 45 PSI, especially at over 110 F all day. .... Hope this helps. ALFA2

The break pedal if it goes to the floor with almost no resistance, or spring pressure, that is not a difficult repair, something just fell off or broke, as in linkage or a pin holding things together, just vibration and possibly loose parts. If the breaks worked well and then suddenly, without...

AN/ARC186, that is a clever and practical idea, I hope you do not mind if I use it for my set up. This works of a stupid-human nature, and will get you the surprised and attentive look from your visitors. A Kodak moment to cherish... Thanks. ALFA2

Sewerzuk, even if it is difficult, you can get a OR Title with an SF97. One thing that needs to be there is that the SF97 is originaly issued to a person who is selling you the truck, it's current owner. He has to sign a bill of sale to you/your company, properly referencing the same form SF97...

Shadrach, sorry to hear about your truck, but you can do several things to prevent followup of the same. Unnecessary damage usually indicates that someone had the time to cause it, and was not concerned for the consequences of it. This is usually someone who underestimated the truck, and were...

Well, if you like that one, see if you can find info on another one, that is called "Kraz", this truck will out pull any Kamaz in any gear, on or off road, and it looks similar to a Deuce on some good vitamins. I personally sow a live demo, of the two truck hooked together, back to back, and the...

It certainly looks like Unforgiven is on to something here... ALFA2

Wehring, is the one you have a computer controlled one, or is it hydraulically operated, like the THM 400? Thank. ALFA2

FMJ, thanks for the heads up, that explains the vibration, even though the drive-line bolts were tight. Up on a closer look I found 3 different type and size of bolts in the flanges, but all were tight. I will replace the wrong ones and see how it goes. Thanks. ALFA2

Kaiserjeeps, that is a really unique, but useful fix for the harbor freight item, what type of jeep wheel bearing did you use, and what is the finished cranes weight capacity? Thanks ALFA2

ctmustang, that looks like brand new, keep going at it! Thanks for the pics. ALFA2

Keep doing what you are doing, and do not let anyone dissuade you from it, you are doing a great job, and the truck is turning out definitely improved. Thanks. ALFA2

Unless you want to go with much larger and heavier tires, and want to drive like you stole it, the stock axles in good condition will hold up just fine for street driving. Breaks will be a little weak for this combo, but can be upgraded to be adequate if needed. If the price is right, and you...

I have used Lucas in several fleet trucks in AZ, for over 10 years, disel and gas straight 6 and v8 and have noticed a drop in engine temp from the oil alone. Also, when we had a radiator hose blow on a maintenance truck in the sumer, at 125 F in the shade, the engine overheated and died. We...

firefox, this will not put undue stress on the axles, since they would not carry the rated load over the road, and not at rated speed. If the bearings are OK, and have grease this should be OK for a while.If at some point in time you decide to do a long road trip, and or tow another Deuce a long...

reom34, thanks for posting the results of super restoration, enjoy the truck, it is one of the nicest ones around. ALFA2

kurtkds, great post, well explained, useful detail and a parts listing. Thanks, ALFA2

This is a good idea, but the MVD in AZ and DMV in most states usually follow a set of administrative rules, which are not a law, (even thou they should follow the existing state law...) but it is the interpretation of those internal administrative rules that the individual MVD office, and...
