Ok, so this is funny - I actually flipped the hubs on an M104, and I'm running duals, on an improvised frame. Hopefully I'll be ok, but only carrying about 4500 payload.

RE: Re: RE: This is the one I have Hi Folks, I just stumbled upon this. I picked up a few of the webasto diesel-powered heaters a couple of years ago... terrible purchase, since they've done little but sit in the shrinkwrap since then, since I haven't figured out the interface yet. The...

Man, you know we love stuff about that truck. Post up, please!

Hi Tom, Excellent info as always. But, I have a question that relates to the relative superiority of that self contained box. I have a setup that I'm considering swapping on that I'll ditch if you can make a relative judgement on. On with my question, if you please: Initially, I have done the...

I don't know what made me think of this, but I had a thought about maybe swapping out to singles and 5 ton axles... oh yeah, I realized when it was - I was talking to a friend about an M105 trailer he wanted to sell, I got to thinking about the bed, and how it would look on my truck with...

I have a shaved, disked rear I'd take $350 for these days... just trying to make it move. Disks are 1 ton Ford, and shave job is my own.

I have read that the front axleshaft insert is not equal, side-to-side, on the front M135 carrier. Therefore, if you were to rotate the front chunk to be spun correctly by a modern transfer case, one shaft has to be cut down, and perhaps the other would need to be lengthened... or you may be ok...

Brown-Lipe was a subsidary of Spicer, or a company they bought, or something along those lines. Now, I have seen some old main trannies that have BrownLipe tags on them with otherwise Spicer details...they have been military origin, like uncommon trannies. I think Brown Lipe, regardless of...

Oh yeah, front U-bolts are tight, but thanks for the idea!

You know guys, I've wondered just how tight those bogie bearings should be, since that's where all the "slop" is. In any event, that's a heck of alot easier than building a trackbar, so I'll check on those bearings, and report back. Part of the issue, by the way, is semi ruts, and the fact I'm...

Hi Folks, I continue to battle steering uncertainty at speed. After much thought and under-carriage staring, I am thinking that the ability of the rear suspension to "Swerve" on its on is a major contributor. I've already shimmed the "windows" or "pockets" that the rear leafs ride in, and...

Steering mods aren't that difficult - I outboarded the steering on my deuce and it runs great.

I have *a* cable, not certain of the length, $50 shipped. :) shoot me an email.

I have the wiring, I'll sell it for $50 shipped. Please PM or email at racecadet -at yahoo. :) Best, Bob

I have some of those bolt together rims in the 20" flavor on my rock buggy (deuce axles).

Tom, This is Bob - you gave me about an hour's worth of info maybe 3 years ago when I was looking at the 3208 swap - thanks so much for all of that info. The tranny that I had was a 6855 - after looking at swapping out all of the guts of my 6052, even going so far as to order some different...

I had to modify another 6000 series bellhousing to accept the 6855 top cover (forward position shifter) gaswrench the stickshift away from the firewall create a custom input bearing (just a little TIG work) Oh yeah, I also made a new output flange, by combining the stock output flange with the...

I think I bought the same combat rims from the same guy in WA!!! Did he have like 16 that went in an eBay auction like a year ago? Just saying. I mounted a set of the 52's on combats as well. :)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=-ePa-76lFIg I was just at a bar, and someone told me about the existance of this video. I was asked last year to help my friend's team make an entrance. Warning - drunken tricycle race video.

Wait. That's 120k GCW with trailer, right?
