Called up Southwestern Equipment and spoke to Roger. You were right Ironhorse, they knew their stuff and were great to deal with. Thanks for the referral. Seals are on the way. I didn't have the cork seal part number but he is going to look for it and send it. He found it in the book and said...

Not that I am an authority on this but wouldn't it be easier to just put a Duece body on say a Kenworth chassis, then do the plumbing/wiring?

I am so close to being able to live what will be those memories. I just got mine registered and now waiting for the parts for the axle seal replacement. Goose bumps the size of Alaskan skeeter bites thats for sure!

What kind of boat is that you are launching in the 3rd pic from the bottom? :lol: Looks like you "make 'em purty then get 'em dirty". That's what they're for. THanks for letting us in on a lilttle fun on the "other side of the pond".

The OD Drab type color makes it a lot easier to read. I think you should default to that one. My .02

I was reading this thread after doing a search as I have to get into one of my rear seals. It seems that it was going good until we had the meldown. cten - What was your prognosis? Bjorn - You mentioned this: Any chance you could repost that picture that went away? Thanks to all

That would be great if you posted the diagram. I had 2 years of electronics in High School and might be able to fumble my way through the making of one, provided you have a parts list also.

Between what you are making and your shop, the front of my shirt is wet from drool. YOu could always remove the bed completely and stretch the cab and door situation all the way to the back to make a giant 10 wheel drive Limo?

Here's one for you. I saw a monster truck on static display. The sign said it ran on propane. I got a closer look up in the engine compartment and it had 8 small individual turbos (like the ones on VW Rabbit) on each exhaust pipe header. There was about a 1 ft length of straight pipe after each...

Bjorn, Always enjoy reading your "how to" and informational advice. I wish I had your experience to do the same. On the 24-12 volt regulator you installed, did you make that yourself or is it available to the layman?

Wow Ugg. Thanks for taking the time to write a very entertaing event. As Desert Rat noted, your writing skills are impeccable. I was living the adventure in my mind through every curve. I hope that you send some pictures, keep writing, and enjoy the green fruit (Frog) of your labor.

Clinto - you don't know what you have started. My fiance' loves Basset's to death and is a Professional Pyrotechnician as a hobby. She want's that dog!!!!! The picture is now posted on her fridge. Can you PM me a higher res one? She will die for it.

cranetruck wrote - Bjorn, That is some absolutely beautiful countryside in that picture you posted. Is that near your place in Virginia? I could easily live in that environment. You are so blessed.

Ah bummer. I heard about your breakin. That really blows. Sure, I can do that. When I get them done I'll notify you and get your mailing address.

I'd be glad to help if anyone is traveling up Hwy 101 between Hollywood and Santa Barbara. If anyone is coming through PM me ahead of time and I'll give Ph#

Is this a maintenence thing that should be done on occasion or a fix-it for an ailing air pack?

A friend of mine just gave me some printouts of pictures a guy at his work took of a M211 at Hot August Nights (2005) in Reno. If anyone doesn't know about Hot August Nights, it is a collection of "anything goes" street machines. People from all over the world congregate in Reno the first week...

Pictures back up I was able to repost the pictures again on the first installment of this thread so the new readers can hate chrome too. If only the chrome was powder coated satin black.

check out the articulation of the rear duals in that last picture. Dang!!!

Good info Rdd. Thanks.
