yeah, missed the other post on other page, I saw crossmember, then the pics, and assumed it was on of the frame members. but here is the right one, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=427695 looks pretty close to yours

my 85 1/2 ton truck (civvy) had a slotted one(top), replaced it with a 86 1 ton one(bottom). Curiously I have never seen another slotted although I honestly never really looked to see, only on the ones when the bed was off. the slots on mine seemed pretty smooth, and still had the factory...

Yup, used the kit from Then and Now Auto. Seems to be holding up fine, truck is running pretty good. Customer service at Then and Now Auto is great too. They forgot one piece, had it sent out very same day.

Hi all, haven't found much info, but I have been casually searching for a trailer for my deuce, and am wondering what the typical price range should be for a trailer. have seen a couple M105 trailers in the $1,200-1,500 range- supposedly all gone through and in working order, rust free. is that...

check your turn stop. it is possible you are overturning the limit of the boot, effectively pulling it off. other then that, getting that clamp on in the groove is a little hard sometimes, I would think I had it, until it started to slip, normally starts from the bottom where the the groove is...

I'll nominate my 1952 M35 again,

Looking good. I know it is hard to lower standards one thing always leads to another, plus side is you probably go a little farther/longer with that extra 1% fix though

No, copper work hardens, which means eventually the cable will break(from the continual bending of opening and closing the gate). I would go to Home Depot, I am pretty sure they sell coated cable which would work, but actual cables can't be too bad in price can it?

not as plug and play as some other systems(Holley etc.), but a big custom one is called Megasquirt-this is the website I looked at-was thinking for an aircooled VW at one point. http://www.diyautotune.com/ another thing to think about is ignition, major improvements can be made by improving...

Again no Video, gotta just get that 24->12 converter in so I can leave the dash cam in. anyways, went and picked it up from my dads shop, took his CJ-2A out and over, went for a decent ride across the back roads to get back, at least 45 minutes. didn't give one hint of a problem. got back to...

here is where the nomination thread was, new nomination thread each month, up to 20 entrants, very cool way to get people to show off their vehicles. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?144055-MV-of-the-Month-September-2015

Line pulls air through distributor, based on manifold vacuum. Which is why I need to make another line, so I stop sucking dirty air through distributor into the engine. And as to PVC I believe the vacuum pulls valve open, thus ventilating crankcase, manifold vacuum varies with engine speed, so...

interesting, manual just says mechanical advance only distributor and the lines are only to help cool, and retain a watertight distributor. I know vacuum advance distributors normally have some sort of pot with a diagram and a lever to help control advance in various conditions. anyways...

Found a vent line diagram, line under input goes to aircleaner, other line is routed correctly. Ties into t for PVC valve, that goes to port under carb. There is actually Pretty good suction on the line, have to check how much vacuum should be on this port. This also means that dirty air is...

How important are the vent lines for the distributor, never really looked at them before, but then I was looking at a GMC 302 Distributor(spare, I didn't realize application at time of purchase) and saw two lines(inlet and outlet) looked at mine, only one line, but only saw 1 fitting, thought...

I'll nominate my 1952 M35 with OA-331 Gas engine

Strata blue, its different and not many of them in that color, with the yellow markings it will still like a military vehicle(bobbed and all)

adjusted valves cold, .020, decided not to try it running yet, in my mind I think I can, but when I was adjusting them cold I was kind of worried I might mess it up. still got a leak, has to be the rear main seal, so winter project. might still have an ignition issue. ran her for about 25...

I have one seat cover bottom still in a bag for my 715, so I guess I just need to open the bag to check. bottom frames seem pretty close, so I am hopeful. I am hoping for a small power increase with the adjusted valves, I think that would account for my inability to climb any hill in any gear...

New thermostat in. I am wondering about valves? TM states normalize engine temp, so run for up to two hours. I was going to do valve cover gasket as the old one is leaking pretty bad. Would it be fine to adjust valves cold at .020, put in New gasket and run it for a bit? Then do proper...
