    M35 vs M135 axles for 4x4 project

    The M135's have the differential that drops out of them like the Ford 9" rears do...similiar to the Rockwells but they drop out the front or rear of the axlehousing not the top like the standard Rockwell housings that we have in your deuce trucks. They run the front backwards. That can be...

    MKT85 Pickup at Mechanicsburg, PA

    I'm not sure the size of that kitchen trailer but i saw in another post that some guys may be heading past there to Gilbert. I can't grab anything big right now but if you can put a favor on credit with someone you can stage that thing at my farm as long as you need. I'm 40 mins NE of...

    Re-Powering The Deuce With A 5-Ton LDS-465-1A Engine

    I have a stock, but recored and banded, radiator in my 'A2 infront of my 1160 Cat. The 1160 is the predecessor to the 3208. Same block and heads...different injector pump and front housing--to keep it simple. Mine is also the 225hp NA engine so it's making that hp without any boost and it has...

    251 marine engine

    RE: Re: RE: 251 marine engine On other marine engines, chevrolet for example, they take out the chain drive for the timing set and replace it with a gear set that allows the crank to turn reverse rotation but still allow all the other jazz (oil pump, distributor, cam and valve train) to run its...

    How Much Gear Rust Is Too Much

    I would render the thing still usable. No pitting is great- the discoloration is prolly just the 'stain' leftover from the rust etching, so to speak, the gear. the m37 should be soft enough on power to not have that be much a concern.

    .71 od installed

    Good to see that project is moving right alone...no pun intended. My white and blue toy runs atf in the six speed...that tranny runs a 50% overdrive- maybe some notes to be taken there. Did you happen to pop the top off that other 3053 and see what was clinking?

    Help ID a transfercase

    iirc, the GMC's ran the front axle in reverse. It's possible to flip the chunk but it requires some work...that I don't have all the details for.

    Asst needed Mechanicsburg

    RE: Re: UPS That store I'm not too fond of. Had a big block chevy marine heat exchanger to send to a buddy in California. Buddy supplied the shipping account number to ship it under and the guy at THAT store wouldn't let me use the shipping account number because he wouldn't make anything on it.

    Pennsylvania M35A2 owners.....A couple questions for you.

    PA inspection is yearly not twice a year like it used to be...it's still a racket though-

    Ok, What the hell?

    The bearings are not on the tapered part. That could have weld beads on it and it wouldn't matter.

    Re: RE: Re: RE: CHOPPED...HA! Dropside- 2,500# @ 19' 4,500# @ 9' Prolly around 3 ton right off the deck. The limiting factor is the truck not the crane. Have seen them ship mounted with nearly double the capacity ratings on the same crane. Not sure about Rausch Creek. Would like to bring...
