If you have 2 spare 105 spring plates and want to get rid of them, pm me. I'm using mine for the perch's. thanks

I need this information as well for my deuce 4x4 project but (the subject of this post) has not been answered (in this thread). I'm using M105 springs and frame mounts and both of the steel plates at the axle connection. The springs are 2.5" wide. The 4 bolt plate from the 105 is part of...

Nice rig Robson. That is a lot bigger hose reel than I used. Looks like you have about 100' or more. Now are you making a cover or is it kept inside?

I have to admit, that is strange looking. Are you going to dual it up.

Where are you at? I build high security pneumatic jail door locks.

Thanks BDGR. Originally that was very much like what I wanted. I will think about it as it will likely stick to the BN...but I'm not sure it would stick to the outside with the waterproofing over the BN. It would probably go on before waterproofing if at all Where would it run to, off the...

Like today's Geithner shelters are for the HMMWV. A fine dumpster digger nugget of goodness.

With town or service 60-80 miles, unless you are on steep hills a lot, just keep the standard brakes up. Dual circuit is great to have but a lot of work to change. If you expect to "flip the hubs" you must be thinking of going to singles, maybe use adapters. A3 wheels are kinda pricey...

Here are a couple alternatives. First two pictures are the 6 lug bolster/M1061 wheel with 12.5R16.5 on an M105 axle and the other 2 are 16" Ford truck rims. The 8 x 6.5 on the Ford is the same as 8 lug Dexter axles. Go to Etrailer for a huge selection already mounted. I get mine from the...

Yea, definitely not a Cat.. not A3. The dual circuit brakes (and other goodies later incorporated in the A3) must give it away as a USAF. Comment on the dual circuit brakes (although I know most would keep the USAF truck entirely original), if they are the same as the A3, they are a 50-50...

How do you know the model.... that it is a USAF truck from the description? Is there years where that was most of the production? I'm not familiar with them, but isn't that the dual brake circuit model? Clearly not a cat.

This thread is huge and although it probably won't come up when doing research later, will a video survive into the future? Links become inactive, pictures are gone, etc, making it hard to research a subject. Do video's also disappear ? Lots of threads come up in a search, few are complete...

I don't have one of these but the winches I have worked with had basically one way to secure the start of the cable, which should lay flat and be held securely. How would they start the cable backwards? Is it possible that the drum could go on the winch assembly backwards (symmetrical).?

There are times I long for the days of tubes when I see nearly new radial super singles sitting flat.

Be sure and post some part numbers for your block and valves. I have several blocks for D03 and D05 and 24vdc valves but I have never seen 5 circuits (even with some blocked) that will work with an open center system. Not saying they don't exist, just that I have not worked with them on...

Shannon, is it possible to take a side shot (picture) of the angle up on yours? Can you see the angle of the U-joint face and driveshaft on yours? The M105 that my springs came off of was a rebuild that I believe had new springs. I can see once they are reassembled the middle of the spring...

I disabled mine on my A3 and now have tires that stay up. Do you go between soft sand and highway all the time to need it? Check out the price of one wheel bearing....I would not like going to all the work and install used bearings. Sorry, I can't say which parts need to be changed. There...

You haven't said but the 87 would be an A3 model and have the Cat engine and Allison tranny, I think. Read about the tranny by searching key words before you make the decision. The OEM piston seals have some failure issues that eventually all of them are going to encounter. The 4th and...

There are other threads that are a bit more complete. Someone will post up, it's not too bad. Basically as stated, you have the choice of replacing the one section valve with a two section valve or going to the a and b ports and using a 2 position selector valve. I think they make them in...
