CUCV's do not have sway bars other than maybe the dual wheel models. Those I am not sure but if they do the bushings are no big deal. I am thinking you mean something else? Maybe the spring bushings? If the spring bushings you will need a socket that bears against the metal sleeve part of the...

And while you are at it can you come over and fix all this stuff I thought I could do? :roll::roll: (Sorry Drew, Just couldn't pass on that opportunity:twisted:)

I was going to ask you this when it was all done but by that time you will be headed out on your job so here it is. This build has been way beyond the scope of most of the people on here and I can say I have built some strange stuff. WAAAAY beyond anything I would have tackled! Did at any point...

Yea, My camera operator dropped the ball this past year and I have next to nothing but campsite pics to offer. This year I hope to have a video camera AND a better still camera. Maybe I can teach Hyperpuppy to be a videographer!?

That is sort of like poking a big dog with a stick you know. Your lucky he is in a good mood today because you have been warned by TWO mods on the same thread in the space of two minutes. Good luck with your search and go easy on the mods.

5200?!!! Man, I hope you never need to get that off.

I will try to load this video, not real good quality but might give you an idea. It was a lot steeper that it looks. The site will not upload the one I want but here is one to check out. I will look for another and add it later if I find a suitable one. Rick

PM me your e-mail and I will send you some I took from my M-151 a couple of years ago. There are some trails that are a little rough but others are mainly gravel roads. Rick

You have to love the old stuff! Other than being huge it is very straight forward not a bad job. Can you still get gaskets for this or did you use RTV? Still haven't seen any mention of why you are selling her after all you went through to get her. Rick

I have not seen one reference to the vacuum modulator. They do go bad and will cause the no upshift issues that are being mentioned.

Do you ever sleep?

That is fine as long as the bearing on the bottom is not bad or if either pin is not scored and worn. I have had to replace the upper king pin on several customers trucks.

Outside of a brake drum, bet that is a bit noisy unless it is on the vehicle.:roll:

Jump over to the g838.org site and send a pm to Mr. Recovery. He lives in Fla. and has lots of connections for parts there.

You don't need a whole power pack, just a transmission. I don't think I will try rebuilding that one, by the time you buy all the bearing and syncronizers it would be cheaper to buy another transmission. I have rebuilt a couple of them, they are not a lot of fun to get apart, have band-aids...

As I have been for years I am awed by your work. Now the big question, how much do you figure all of that which you have added weighs? Your steel supplier must love you and I would love to see your metalworking equipment. Bending and cutting steel that size that cleanly takes some serious...

No big deal, people will just have to put up with my bad spelling on those forums.:roll:

I see, We had that on another forum I belong to. Guy would delete all his posts and all of a sudden the tread makes no sense. Rick

OK, It will let me edit these here but not the ones where I replied to Hillbilly Wizard. ????

Can't edit my posts anymore? 02/26/13 Something new? My spelling is terrible so I always have to go back and correct. Yes, I am one of THOSE guys. Rick
