Interesting build :)
I see on your 12V + Allision that you have a passenger-side starter. I also removed the factory A/C pump from the engine so that I could sit the block lower in the frame. Are you cutting the passenger floor board to make space for the turbo down-pipe or doing a body lift...
Yes they are, I have a few pictures from the in-laws, but I'm going to wait until I receive them here locally to post. They were just what I was looking for :)
I'll be buying the parts from lavarok tomorrow, that should complete all of the CUCV related parts needs for this truck.
I realized this morning that during my spending spree, I ordered four Grote White/Blue LED dome lights (new) which have yet to arrive. I almost have the Cummins far enough apart to send off for machining. If the weather holds out (it really feels like fall this morning), I'm going to start...
Received my third filler door from HAWKMAN - Thanks!! Exactly what I was looking for and then some :).
Also received the passenger-side HMMWV mirror - these mirrors are larger than the OEM CUCV side mirrors (both vertically and horizontally) and also feature a blind-spot mirror element which...
Received two more boxes of front end parts from the in-laws (SS Member 2002ford purchase). Also received the HMMWV steering wheel and column from BPB Surplus (snagged these images from Google cache):
I will be attaching that to the new dash board I'm building from scratch. Much better than...
Got the first box from the in-laws last night (front end parts from 2002ford purchase). Didn't have a chance to open it yet. I also received the Truck-Lite front turn signal fixtures I'm going to slide into the original housings. It was a pain to find a 24Volt Front/Turn/Park LED fixture in...
Last night, received 24Volt high flow fuel pump (primary pump - keeping mechanical as secondary fail-safe), and pre-cleaner top for the "snorkel". I'm going to bring the TopSpin to the cab and make sure it doesn't block to much view at the top of the passenger side of the windshield - it also...
I haven't confirmed this, but it seems like Grote discontinued their entire military lighting line. Last month parts were difficult to find at a bunch of vendors - and this month nobody says they can even order them (most are removed from Grainger even). I think I got the last four fixtures...
Yesterday on my way home I shimmed up the bed with lumber - it's off the air-bag support cross-beam. I have enough space to get that out without pulling the bed again. Biggest reason for putting the bed on the truck was "space" - I only have a 10x40 stall to keep everything in. I'll be doing...
Just remember - there's no such thing as a free puppy :) Let me know if you get stuck. :confused:
I also just heard from lavaroc about the last decorative theme pieces for the outside. Those should be on the way very soon.
Two 20/34 gallon saddle tanks (engine will draw from Driver's side only), and one 40 gallon center rear where the spare would normally go (and where the air compressor and tank are attached right now). The idea is that with a 48kW PTO genny later, I want to be able to do rated output for...
I should also mention that I arranged the rear-filler door and a good chunk of the fender from HAWKMAN Saturday, that will make it possible for me to install the third tank on the truck and have it look like it came that way from the factory. Thanks to HAWKMAN for working with me on that, I...
And everything was tucked in for the night:
Then we had to deliver the engine and tranny to cucvnut - just a 20 minute drive, little traffic, didn't get separated. Of course my phone's navigation has a spell check that auto corrected south to north, and we ended up about 4 blocks from where...
As I said in my last post - a full day of work with three people and a forklift... But we did it!!
Started a bit out of order, moving the axles (this is my friend and Air Force buddy Matt driving the lift):
Then we spent 3-1/2 hours getting 8 bolts off the flatbed - this was difficult not...
Even so, it's still a full day of work with three people and a forklift...
Here's a picture of the engine air-filter from store.Airflo.com out of Oregon (Donaldson PSD10, p/n: D100031):
Shown with a retail Rain-X bottle for scale (a quarter was not big enough to see :naner:) - it requires a...
Flywheel housing arrived last night, dropped the starter in it to ensure fitment, this is a view as if you were standing in front of the truck looking towards the back of the truck minus the engine - shows the starter on the driver's side at 9-o'clock (o'clock notation is from flywheel-end...
Also received yesterday, the bed mount kit from LMC (previous owner left the bolts in the bed when they put it on the ground - so they bent) - and the flywheel housing.
cucvnut, sent you a PM.
Received Yesterday:
The rear bumper and parts from HillBillyWizard (didn't get to look at it because the storage locker hours were coming to a close) - 130lbs
The new horns (e-place)
Driver's side HMMWV mirror (e-place)
So far today:
In-Laws just phoned to say they have in-hand the front...
