    What am I looking at here?

    Is that how the oil pan is supposed to look? It looks dented in.... or is it just the photo?

    2019 Findlay Oh, Armed forces day show May 17-19 Sell+ swap

    Is anyone going to Findlay from North Indiana that could bring an M105 back? My hitch arrangement is not up to the journey but I could PU if closer.

    2019 Findlay Oh, Armed forces day show May 17-19 Sell+ swap

    I might have your spare tire carrier (ratcheting cable type). The axle to fit your trailer might be hard to find with the right bolts, but they could be changed out. I have a semi trailer axle (square type). I'll look, but think it has 1" studs. We could make a great deal if you could...

    Deuce driveshaft extension for 4x4

    Thanks CMPPhil....that should work. The same site has 1/4" too. With 3' (minimum in 1/4"), I can make about 20. I knew I recalled a square packing but couldn't remember what it was for. Thanks again...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    You are doing what I am doing, using the full frame length. I had to position my axle because of using the M105 bed with wheel-wells. The bed rear overhangs the frame only 3". How much overhang are you giving yours? Mine made a 165" wheelbase and 47" axle center to back of frame. Yours...

    Time to get some issues under control

    If you need a few spring leafs, I have the rears surplus from my 4x4 project. I know taking the spring packs off is a PITA and you will probably have to cut the bolts to get them off, but you could take the packs apart (both sides) and compare the springs, then replace the leafs that are bent...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The Ford leafs are not the same curvature. Besides the broken leaf, what is it that substituting the flat Ford leaf for the curved ones in your spring pack will accomplish? My M105 spring pack has 12 leafs and I ended up with 11 plus an air bag. Are you making the truck shorter (bobbed) and...

    S-788 trailer & camper build

    They are a step of some kind that I got with a lot of PTOs back in the GL days. Four are being modified for hand rails up top (black one) and 4 for steps going up the back. The tan long one is how they came.

    S-788 trailer & camper build

    I'm putting together a camper using a Geithner S-788 box and Dexter axle. For now I have no brakes but I will add hyd disk and a surge actuator later. Box weighs about 600 but steel frame is heavy. Truck brakes have to do for now. I have an electric enclosure 2x2x6 for front storage and want...

    Deuce driveshaft extension for 4x4

    I would like a more robust bearing for the center support, does anyone see a reason that I could not use a pillow block or flange bearing? There would be no lateral pressure for the rubber to absorb and I do plan on having it balanced.

    Deuce driveshaft extension for 4x4

    Now the components are ordered to use the 1410 series u joint, 1.5"-16 spline and 3.0"x.083 tube, with 1.5" carrier bearing. I've researched driveshaft systems and found that about half have a slip-joint in the first section (usually an AT) and about half use only a u-joint before the carrier...

    Deuce driveshaft extension for 4x4

    I started this thread for the driveshaft of my M35A3 4x4 project. I did not shorten the frame and I have positioned the axle to be on the center line of the wheel well for an M105 bed that has 3" overhang at the frame rear. The CL is 50" from the rear of the trailer which makes the axle CL 47"...

    Deuce driveshaft extension for 4x4

    I don't know frank. I would think the tranny to transfer case drive is the same size and shaft dia., but made a similar mistake with the one between the axles. It (inter-axle) is not the same size. Here is what I need it for. I have a new spline and slip yoke in 1410 size coming for the...

    Deuce driveshaft extension for 4x4

    DUST SEAL, INTERMEDIATE DRIVESHAFT I need to replace the dust seal for the spline (slip yoke) on the TC to first axle driveshaft. It appears to be a hard felt material, has a washer and screw on cap. I can get by with just the seal. It is split on the side because it won't go over the spline...

    power driven trailer

    Too bad some of the original posters have not chimed in, someone had to take up the challenge that M16ty posted up years ago. I'm eyeing the axle taken from the rear of the A3 and thinking about tire and wheel size and if an M105 trailer is the best to experiment with. Yes, it matches the...

    Wet Stacking?

    It might resemble a steam locomotive burning coal. Stay rural.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Working on my driveshaft for the 4x4 and have somewhat of a fiasco. I started without realizing that the driveshaft from the transfer case to the first rear axle was not the same size or u-joint as the one from the first rear to the second rear. I'm going to leave out the gory details. The...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I may try it. The black is my most needed for a good coat on the frame right now and under fenders and such. I just hooked up a 5 hp air compressor that I can do some light sand blasting first. I think I have a gun for primer but may buy one for the paint. I would think I could go to the SW...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Cool Jcollings. That appears to be a quart. How much did it cost? Does it have the deep flat color like the Behr does?
