    ARGH! FlexPlate Advice Please...

    Okay so first off if you have an auto trans they use a flexplate, not a flywheel, get a genuine GM one and save yourself the headache of possibly buying some junk ones that are floating around even with big money reputable names on them . Not sure which style starter you have now, but if you...

    Shipping the M35a2. Stacked?

    That old Dodge WC ain't nearly as heavy as a Deuce 1/2, but I bet they still blocked the suspension on that bottom rig or it woulda killed those leafs .

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    M931A2 Well where do I begin, I went out to start it a few days ago and it was a no-go situation . It's had an intermittent habit of starting hard for a few years, but always started, but not this time . So I addressed all the usual suspects, does it have fuel, is it getting to the pump etc...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I changed the oil in my manual steering box in my 1963 Studebaker M50, (M35A2 with a water tank) in hindsight it didnt appear to need it, upon refilling I had to cock the funnel to one side to allow filling, making me wonder how/if these vent ?

    Profile Picture Albums where are they

    I came back after a recent hiatus to find all of the info that I had saved in my profile for further use and to help others gone, along with all my pics/albums, and the entire website changed . I like nothing about this, I have dug around quite a bit and can find NONE of all the stuff I had...

    Galvanized Deuce Wheels

    A 100 bucks says worse things have happened in your life, besides once the zombies get you then you become a zombie and we can see what lasts longer, you or your bling rims !

    4 BBL Carb Conversion

    You don't have to change intakes unless you really want to, you can get a 2 to 4 bbl adapter and put a 4 bbl on that intake . I have done this before, works great, better power and better mileage because 4 bbl carbs are smaller on the primary side which is where you spend 90% of your throttle...

    Galvanized Deuce Wheels

    Those look cool, almost like a mag wheel ! I think I'd have a hard time painting those OD, I can paint crappy rusty old rim OD and it will look about the same as every other OD rim To think that all that time and money and labor would be hidden under paint seems like it'd be unrewarding to me

    Derail: I don't Wes but he sounds like a great dude . Oh man, those pics got to me ! I had this 1978 Model 1544 briefly this spring before I traded it for a M931A2 and a pile of cash, wish I had both in the same pic ... Hey Karl, Tucker Sno-Cat is local to me, give a holler if there ever...

    Generator removal question

    It's very durable as stated and basic, open it up to see the brushes and inspect, they are likely the cause, if not just keep looking, a problem with them is often easily seen .

    Resurrecting Oily Brake Shoes

    We used to just burn the oil out with a torch on big trucks, common sense has to be applied of course, too much heat can break down the friction material, especially when it is already soaked in oil, you will typically find however that not the entire shoe is soaked in oil or brake fluid...

    M35A3 won't shift out of first gear in Drive

    Oh I'm sure he does, truck is worth a lot more that way . Trouble shooting this with the seller is the last thing I'd do personally, truck has issues, possibly very expensive issues in the eyes of both the seller and buyer, I would buy it on the cheap and drag it home then ask my friends to...
