I had a fue tank like that - I had it steamed, then welded each pit. It was time comsuming, but got the job done. You can use TIG, MIG, or Stick Electrode. I would use 3/32", 6010. or 7018. If you have some leakers, there will be others almost ready to leak. I assume that the tank is steel...

Naturally! But I don't recall that being an interferance engine. So maybe it just got tired of being the one left open for three years & stuck there/tappets tool loose/maybe a broken valve spring. The broken spring will let it hang down too far - then it can get bent. Lee in Alaska

You can easily find which cylinder is not fireing : Start it slow and go out and hold your hand on the exhaust manifold port of each cylinder. They will begin to warm as each cylinder fires. The dead cylinder's port will be cold. With my luck, the problem is under that last valve cover. The...

A lot of Towns will have a place like "Trailer Craft/Trailer supply. They will have U-bolts of various sizese they deal with. Otherwise, have them made. Use a generous application of never sieze. I like to leave a minimum amount of bolt thread extending byond the nut. It gets rock blasted and...

Unlike in many parts of the world, our Marines/Military, hav civilian bosses. If the Folks in Berkeley have a beef, its not with the Marines, its with their civilian bosses. They are just following orders! The Folks in Berkeley, like with many liberals, seem to feel that if you run around and...

A heavy truck shop, that makes Speedo Cables, will have the parts, or a new one. In Fairbanks, it would be Power & Transmission: 907-456-2230. They will mail it. You won't find a better place to deal with! Lee in Alaska

RE: duece noob......have some questions If you hang around on this site, you'll see some of the Posts of Guy's going to pick up vehicles. You'll see the stories. They range from the perfect to having big chunks missing. If you were to bid, its best to preview it, or have somebody preview it for...

RE: duece noob......have some questions Hi Welcomt to the site! I'm sort of out of the "GL" field, because of where I'm at. The used all the ones here for targets. But I bought one fot $5500 from a private party. Low miles/hours, and everything works. It's grab bag at GL, but I think from one...

I happen to use Dello 400, 15w40, but use it in everything, reguardless of fuel type or vintage. Lee in Alaska

Hi You have a very nice S-120. The S series was replaced by IHC, mid 1957, with the A series. It is NOT an A! The A is a completely different body that takes a different windshield. Sometimes if a vehicle doesn't sell in the year it was built, it is titled in the year its sold, but that still...

Thats a lot of trailer for a pickup, but I have made a few dump runs with mine. Flip the lunette, so it raises the tongue to max hieght. I have a small pintle hook with an adjustable hieght offset in it for the receiver hitch. Between that and the lunette, the trailer sets pretty level. Allow...

Hey Joe I always believe that the rule:"you get what you pay for", is pretty much true! As far as the "Kit" that you mention... that stuff is really valuable in terms of work and the costs add up real fast, if you are trying gather a Kit up. My thought is (of course I can be very generous with...

Hi Jehova Welcome to the site! You have an S-120 4x4. It most likely has a BD 240 cu" inline engine, but a 220 & a 265 was also availiable for it. The engine data info is stamped on a raised boss on the left front corner of the block, just under the cylinder head/exhaust manifold. It probably...

Thoes trailers are only about 36" high, but when your loading something on there, it seems a whole lot higher. Lee in Alaska

Take the tire to a re-capper. The Bandag process is super good. they will know what they are doing! So find a tire capper that specializes in that process. Have them put a "section in it. They will gind out the hold, put new rubber compound in the holes & cook it in their curing oven. It will be...

Hi Mike Great adventure. When you go back for that last truck, just take your good runner, and plan on towing the other. Lee in Alaska

Shipping is a big Item to me!. Here, UPS & FedEx don't work and their shipping charges are prohibitive!. If a Vender can't ship USPS, taking advantage of the Flat Rate boxes when possible, I won't do business with them. Believe it or not, Uncle Sam is the fastest, cheapest, and most reliable -...

You can learn something every day! Thanks Lee in Alaska
