I like imgur as well. But Steel Soldiers doesn't do remote hosting. We host the images here, so that when incompetent (or evil, or both) companies like Photobucket break the internet, we'll still have all our images and our threads will still be informational. So he'll need to upload the...

ok, so: A. Make sure your new gaskets actually fit in the groove. There's a machined recess on the outside perimeter, the gasket should go under it. B. Make sure you're cleaning the can base and the groove. C. Make sure the can is not spinning when it's touching the gasket. Once the can...

Gimpy is right. I think all these people who whine that M44 brakes suck got that opinion from some Government Liquidation truck that had 20 year old parts. I had a deuce with new hoses, wheel cylinders, master cylinder and airpack and it was an absolute joy to drive. It would lock all 10...

I couldn't tell you at what weight it gets louder, but it does. Every time I've had a lot (7500+) in mine, it pops. I think it's the weight of the truck "pushing" the spring ends harder onto the ledge they sit on. Obviously you should inspect the dog bones but I suspect it's just the weight.

I don't think you'll have an issue finding someone you can talk into this. If so, come find me at the registration tent. :)

Biggest fear is what's it is going to cost. I need to get it done at a price point that people can afford.

Well, in the nearly 30 years since the last dual circuit M44A2s left the assy. line, only M-series restoration has managed it but at a pricepoint that no one could afford. And I'm not sure it even took the correct master cylinder. But I'm not your average guy and I have some people helping me...

Well, look at this. :beer:

This is as good as you're gonna' get.

So, I don't have a lot of red oxide experience, so you should probably just ignore everything you're about to read. I have shot tons of stuff, mostly with Southern Polyurethane epoxy primer and as long as it's dry to the touch (i.e. it's dry enough that it isn't tacky any more), I haven't had...

Click on that link I shared. We've already designed a robust replacement. I'm putting off a cab brace install for the same reasons. I need the brace in order to install the M44A3 3 point seat belt system. A lot of work.

That's an awesome truck. Radials, P/S, O/D, lockouts, winch, etc. Very nice work. It won't make any difference. They're junk. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?134679-M-series-flasher-relay-civvy-conversion-how-to&highlight=

Not long. All we need to do is scan it. So send it to me, I'll media blast, prime and paint it and send it to my scanner and then we'll ship it back to you. Maybe 30 days?

I like the eyelashes on HendersonJ's Jeep. Please ask him to keep those.

That Eastern deal is too good to pass up. I was going to come in here and tell you to find a bare housing to swap all your guts into. 100%. I've had 2 of these that were cracked and no surprise, they were on trucks that came directly from the military (via GL) and the PTO was RTV'd to the...

SS loves Landies. :)

My deuce had the standard spring ride drivers seat and passenger bench. When I got an M44A3 drivers seat, I put the stock spring ride on the right side. And it was that way for a year or so, until I rode in it while my Dad drove. What I found was that the spring ride upright is sooo vertical...

They're awesome kits. Work really well.
