    1st Deuce

    Are you sure??? your wiki reads: "Green Valley is an unincorporated retirement community composed of 59 Homeowner Associations. " Hate to be a party pooper but this HOA nightmare comes up a lot on this board.

    1st Deuce

    Whoa, if your HOA won’t go for a 6x6 deuce, they SURELY won’t go for a 4x4! They will consider it a commercial vehicle and make your life a living hell. Each letter they send they will bill you $75 or some such stupidity.

    Who got the GP M-47 1790-7B Engines

    I'll never forget opening about 30 cans with AOS-895's in them looking for a good one. All had holes in the block. I learned long ago that the Army puts the bad engine back in the can when doing swaps. Wasted two days. The 895 goes in the Walker Bulldog and the Duster.

    3 year start up maintenance

    What I do is pull out the engine stop and then crank for a while to pre lube.

    3 year start up maintenance

    I suggest you reach down into the fuel tank and see if you have 1” of nasty at the bottom, if so clean it out.

    Any ideas

    Any 1970's or early 80's D or W pickup, 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton should have the same core support. I think so anyway.

    Wanted. Tire iron handle

    To me, if you have even the slightest bit of mechanical aptitude, it will be completely obvious if the ring is not seated prior to inflation. Remember the truck tire repair career path does not always attract the sharpest tools in the shed.

    Wanted. Tire iron handle

    That bar is a Ken-tool TR11, not too expensive. Air tool you need an Ingersoll Rand 285B6 extended anvil 1" impact. A Ken-tool 30150 combo Budd socket to go with it. Tire tools you need a Ken-tool T23 lock ring tool and a T11E duck bill hammer. With this setup you can remove and...
