That is some awesome intel CMPMAN. I will just shut up and continue to absorb it. Instead of talking out the wrong end of the 20mm.

Hmmmm.... That really blows!! Get hit with one disaster and then when you finallylift your eyes to see the light you get slapped with another disaster. Good on ya for documenting everything!! The pics and notes and such that you have taken from the fire and the flooding will aid you...

Nice recovery! Parts parts parts!! That really sucks about the fire!! Like you said the up side is it could have been worse and you could have lost everything in the shop. As for "them" packing, palletizing and hauling stuff to a cleaning facility... This is the first I have ever heard of that...

Tobys, Thank you for the words of encouragement! If you give a quick search in the modified duece forum for "Extended Cab Duece (photos)" posted by TOXIC, you will come up with a good thread from a guy that bobbed his duece and did the extended cab modification. He did a great job on it and...

Well! Finally got some time to work on the truck yesterday.I removed the old motor mounts with minimal effert. Ground the heads off of the rivets then drilled them down a bit then gave them a love tap with a two pound hammer. Tada!! Pop of they came! Then after a heap of fighting and swearing...

That's great that you and Superdave got the 207 running!! Have the old girl rolling under her own power to her new home! Minus the Lowbed trip. That 207 is a thing of beauty! My family just doesn't see why I get excited about old military iron. How could you not see the possiblities though!! I...

Does any one know if the 2 piece rims/ a3 rims are cast, stamped, or spun metal? More over can you weld on these rims? I am still contemplating getting 4 of the canadian MLVW( I think) rims that have some bolt holes cut out for 50 bucks a piece. Thinking about cutting the hubs right out and...

It was just a thought. The guy with the two piece rims that is near me also has some M35a2 parts along with some five ton parts. I dont really care as much about it not mounting in the exact same location. was more wondering about functionality and if it would work with our brake system or not...

Does any one know if a M35a2 master cylinder would work in our trucks? Since my dream of disc brakes is a loooooong way off I need to start thinking about being able to stop. Oooooh! What about a 5 ton master cylinder?? Does a 5 ton displace greater volume? Equating to greater stopping power?? I...

Montanatower, I do have the exhaust manifold from the old 302 (and the most of the rest of the engine and tranny minus wiring and distributor) It is however spoken for. M1010plowboy has spoken for the entire engine and tranny. It would probably be cheaper for you in the long run to find a parts...

I am in the process of doing a 6bt swap since my 302 was a giant paper weight. Siezed. Sound proffing the cab is the solution to the noise and the only time I have seen smoke rolling out of any thing with a 6bt or 4bt in it is when the power has been increased by upping the fuel intake. My...

I have never heard of a transfer case failure in these trucks. Most common is tranny failure or propellar (drive shaft) twisting off due to torque from the wheels being locked or hard accelaration. I have thought about flipping the front diff but decided not to due to the fact that one axle...

It Is a Getrag that much I know. (360?) With the transfer case hard mounted to the tranny. I would have to check the numbers on the case to tell you for sure. I took them apart, split tranny and transfercase, to see if I could modify the tranny to make 2wd. It would be possible but would take a...

Awesome pics!! Your gonna have three chicks diggin the truck soon!! Gives me lots of things to look out for when I finally find some scrap metal and time to weld. Cumminsbandit, what type of 2wd tranny is behind your 5.9L?? Is it a 727, Allison 1000, A518, NV3500, NV4500??? I am trying to...

Jeez are those sweet!! M207?!?! I must research more on our trucks! I didn't even know there was even that model out there!! I would kill to find one that is military made wrecker or one of the ones out fitted with a spotlight for anti- aircraft. I lived I'm edmonton for 10 years and never knew...

I am going to have to get one of those universal 12 volt wiring harnesses or see if a pick a part/ wrecking yard has one from a 89-92 dodge pickup with the same engine. Either way figuring to spent the same on either one at about 150 bucks. UGH! All of the original 24 volt wiring in my rig was...

Yahooooo!! Picked up my cummins motor mounts from a co-worker today. 50 bucks for both!! Normally they are 190 bucks a piece brand new from the dodge dealership. They are used but look awesome and clean. So excited!! Now I just have to scavange some channel iron to make my frame mounts and I am...

Cumminsbandit, did you weld the frame side mounts?? I have been trying like mad to come up with a way to aviod welding on the frame since there are so many arguements on this site about whether or not to weld on the frame. My thoughts were to make a frame sleeve of types that bolts to the frame...

Boy am I feeling good!! I traded that 92 dodge radiator for my 6BT, which was to big, for the one the old fella had laying around his yard. He said it was out of an old international, so he thinks. I took some measurments thinking it might work between my light buckets with a little light...

Update time again. Well a bit of a positive note. Found a fella close buy that is willing to trade my radiator, from the 92 dodge the new to me 6bt came out of, for one that will fit between my light buckets, since the dodge one is to big. This is also the same fella who has 4 of the canadian 2...
