I'm rootin for ya brother! 116! Heck I was getting burned putting tin on the roof of the new chicken coop the other day and it was only 33 degrees celcius which is like 90 down there. You are my hero Gunfreak! Que Rocky anthem song!!!! I am serious though. Reading your threads over and over...

Your cylinder heads look great! New stuff is always great! Clean engine and full flowing and cooling radiator will make for one smooth running Jimmy! No doubt about taking some down time from the truck. In tempatures like that I would be wanting to work in the middle of night with huge flood...

Here is mine. 1956 M135. Still a work in progress for a powertrain swap. Avatar photo if others don't load. Or check out my active thread. Contemplating bobber....

Well I have done a ton of math!!! Ugh!! I do have an older 12v 5.9L. It is a 92. Not the dreaded #53 block as far as I can tell from all the casting numbers. I have crunched the number from 6.17 all the way to 4.11's for ring and pinion gears. The 4.11's would at give me the following numbers...

Totally wicked awesome!!! Gotta love it when swag heads your way!!! That's a great save checking your intakes and valves. A little maitenance before cranking that bad boy over for some run in time saved you from probable headaches in the future. When the little voice in the back of your head...

Well ****! It was my understanding that the larger the tire the potental for smaller (rubber) gearing. I have read lots of threads on here of how guys are getting better highway speeds and milage with larger tires. I also figured that if I went with a better tranny with lower ratios to start...

Ok quick update! No I haven't gotten the motor locked down yet. Yes I am going to have to cut the firewall. I am also going to have to move the transfer case back as well since the Getrag 360 five speed is hard mated to its own transfercase and there is no way to make it dissapear without lots...

Great looking valve cover! A clean, timed, gaped, and new point 302! Bet it sounds great! Hey if I ever get my M135 with the 5.9L running we could get together with Gunfreak and have an all out showdown. Stock and two modifieds! 302 inline, 6.2L , and 5.9L.

Happy B-day Gunfreak! May your days be filled with good times and great friends! The great ones are hard to find so keep em when ya get em!!

Sounds awesome! Once you get all six drums done you are gonna be able to lock em up with ease! Looking forward to reading your how to on wheel cylinder replacement/ rebuild! I hear ya on the rain thing. Finally had two weeks of no rain to make hay for the farm. Spent the whole time fixing the...

Hit another snag in the engine swap!!! I thought things were going to smooth! I finally started to finalize lining things up and dropped the motor in place for clearance of the axle and hood. Now the new problem of lining it up to centre in the frame and inline with transfer case. The flexplate...

Yeeehaaaw!!! I sure hope the pics post up with this! Just had the neighbor over with the big tractor to help me put the 6bt into the truck. Keep in mind it is only sitting on a cradle of chains and wood. It fits like a glove!!!!!!!! I almost wet my pants when I had it sitting almost where I...

Where about (not a boot) are you in Idaho?? I am right above you in British Columbia, Canada. I might be interested in one of those as well. Either the complete one or the parts one for the hood and other reman parts.

If your gonna move to Canada ya need to pick the right place to go to. I used to live in Edmonton as a youngin, salright. Lived in Saskatchewan, both territories, and now British Columbia. All have their perks but as far as weather I would say here in British Columbia. Nice and hot in the summer...

Yea know. I love the look of these rigs no matter what color they are!! Seen yellows, white, blue, GREEN, red, tan, just off the top of my head. Rust brown even looks good!! Looks great M1010plowboy!! I have been toying with the idea of a cradle for the 5.9L but am worried about axle clearance...

I do plan on cleaning up and repainting the 5.9L once all the final mods are done with for mounting. I have been searching and searching the web for some different engine mounts that I don't have to mess around with to much. Can't seem to find any front mounts that 54hms mentioned. Further...

Oh! I can't forget to sound off on something else. Pictures! Please!

Wow Titan T hawks would be nice!!! Since I just googled them to see what they look like. Insert sheapish smile here. To bad they aren't that cheap up here. I hear what you were saying before on working in the dirt on these rigs. I am 6'2" and 220lbs. Got my share of bang, ouch! Tool tossing...

Ok ok! Here are the pics! Not to much special about the paint or application of it. Unless you count some blow back in your face from the odd gust of wind. Knew I should have bought the brush on rustoleom instead of 12 buck rattle can rock guard! Now if the pics come up in proper sequence, first...

Thanks for all of the support for me to do what I want with my rig! I plan on doing what I feel I need to with this rig since I will be my farm/business service rig. If the truck had been in better condition when I found her it may have gotten restored. As I said in earlier posts there are...
