M1010plowboy, I am glad you like my piece of heaven here on earth! Your gonna have to come back for another visit, with the 207, if the gods of money descend upon you showering you with untold riches. Scary thought of what the fuel bill would be to get her out here. Mid summer, good temps, park...

Had an awesome day here on the ranch! M1010plowboy and a buddy (Dean) came out for a quick visit and to pick up the 302 and hydro magic tranny from my rig. Couple awesome guys and good stories. We managed to get the old engine loaded on his truck for the long journey back to the G749 farm with...

As to which is a better axle, GM Corp. or Rockwell, that depends on your preferences. Do you want top loading diffs like Rockwells or front face loading loading like the GM Corp. I believe I read some where that the GM axle shafts are a little thicker than Rockwells. However with the...

Google GM Corp 2.5 ton axles and you will find many sites and write ups about them. As stated 6.17 to 1 ratio. Differential chuck and ring and pinion were made by Eaton as far as I can tell from my research. They are a HO110 ring and pinion. 12.5 or so inches in diameter. There was three...

I am basing my information of what I have experienced when I took my engine and tranny out. My transfer case may be botched I don't know. I do know that when I took the engine and tranny out and disconnected the linkages to the transfer case there was a pop and the linkages and such set in a...

I am probably bass ackwards with my linkage throws. You can't beat the TMs so in is forward and out is reverse. Keep us posted and we will all help as we can. I would be interested to see pics of your engine swap and corresponding linkages and such. So I will say it before someone else. Post pics!

Ok. Been a while since I actually looked at my transfer case. It isn't a small actuator it's the main actuator and more in the middle of the case just above the front drive shaft out put. This needs to either pulled out to go forward or pushed into the case for reverse. It also has to stay in...

I am not entirely sure if I am correct with this but this how my transfer case was explained to me. When you are under your truck and are looking at the front side (facing the engine tranny) on the top left of the case is a small cylinder type plunger actuator(sprag). This is typically linked...

I am totally looking forward to your write up on the complete air brake build. I am interested in how the S cam and drum set up is going to go. If you are using the stock drums I think you will have a hard time squeezing the shoes into them. I am also not aware of any modern drums that would...

Welcome to the site! I would be highly interested in your ten bolt adaptors if they are made for a reasonable price once you get them figured out. As far as I am aware the hubs are steel, unless you are referring to the drums. These I would say are cast. The spindle is steel as well with brass...

Goose looks great as usual. Been a while since I saw the old armoury. Pretty sure I was there a time or to for some army cadet Corp. functions. Lots of good memories of the old 2733, EME 15th service battalion of the RCACC, Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corp. Think my brother got married there to...

The truck in M1010plowboy' s YouTube link. Has 1400/20 flotation NDTs I believe. Makes the rig look awesome. However if you watch the original full length, which I think is 30 seconds long, the guy blows his tranny trying to go fully over the car. I think the 1400 series tires look good but a...

Welcome to the insanity! Your first purchase looks better than mine! The second one looks great. Perfect for some TLC and a slathering of OD green. Perfect restoration rig. Deuceman51 could you shove a whole cab in an envelope and mail it to me COD? Lol!

Been a while since I checked in last. Lots of good reading. The wheel bearing seals and tranny issues were very interesting. I had another good look at your engine and tranny sitting here at the Diamond T ranch. I am thinking the motor is really going to need a rebuild. The frost plugs have a...

Where exactly is the "attach stuck white knight here" moniker? If it is above the pintle hitch I would hazard a guess it was some soldiers little joke in regards to a howitzer, code named white knight, that was stuck during a maneuver. The M211 was probably the only piece of equipment that...

1500 for the truck? I would buy it in a heartbeat! I paid 1000 for mine and it had a seize engine, no real wiring, air system, or even a radiator. So needless to say I paid a grand for a carcass. It all comes down to how much of yourself you are willing to give to the beast. The multifuel...

I don't know how to cut and past here so I just wrote it down and re post here. Its all Rustystud 's info. Part numbers for head bolts and studs for multifuel engines from ARP. The stud are all 9/16" The 6.160" long stud is #AQ6.120-1LB. Priced at $11.50 each. The 6.380" long stud is...

I will most definitely try to go about downloading the TM manuals, if it doesn't overload my phone or read them as much as I can so I do not have to ask the hated much cover questions of you knowledgeable older members. The parts manuals that have specs for each part, if I can find them, will be...

Thank you jasonjc That was a very cool and helpful posting/downloadable pdf. I have certainly saved it to my truck file. Chock full of useful info for trouble shooting the multi fuel. The list in the first chapter of the different multicast great! Shows how much of a newbie I am though. I...

Rustystud, apologise (think I spelt that right) for pissing you off. I do realize the was a recent thread about LDS vs LDT and read it. I have read this thread and many others just like it. This is what has prompted my search for a LIST of the the different multi fuels and their specs and years...
