The engine that's in the truck had the crankshaft break on it. It has a hole in the passenger side of the block and the drivers side also has a hole in it when the bearing cap end of the rod sticking out of the side of it. The other engine I'm not sure, but I do know it has a hole in the block...

I know! I thought the same thing once we got them hooked up. Honestly, we're not really sure what the plan with the bobber is at this point. First and foremost I need to get a new engine for it, once we get it running and do some other maintenance work to it, we'll take it from there. We're...

More pictures:

Well we got the bobber and the rest of the parts today, much thanks to Tstates for supplying the 5 ton for recovering the bobber. Everything went well, thankfully the guy we bought everything from had a forklift for loading up all the heavy stuff (namely the spare blown engine). Took a little...

I'd have to agree :mrgreen:. I am getting a little frustrated trying to find an engine for the price range I was hoping for though. Looks like I'm going to have to sell off some stuff to get the funds together. There was a guy selling a NOS LDT465 on here for a very reasonable price (granted it...

I have no idea... I'll search and see if I can find anything. Edit: I think I found it. Looks like an LDS, price is a little higher than I was looking for a used engine though...

Just for gits and shiggles I decided to call Hercules to see how much a new or reman engine would cost from them to replace the blown one in the bobber... and I quote "probably about $12,000". So needless to say, that's not happening. I'm going to make some calls to more local parts places and...

And some more:

Ok and onto pictures of some of the goodies we picked up:

The guy we got it from said it's actually a NOS winch, not a take out. It definitely looks like it, no cable wear on it anywhere. I need to look up the synthetic cable he gave us and see what its rated at, but it looks to be new. I can't wait to get the truck home and start going through it...

Ok, now that I'm looking at some pictures online, it looks like the trailer is actually either a M1101 or M1102... I'll get a better look at it when we pick it up obviously and hopefully can figure out for sure what it is. But I'm pretty sure he said its an all aluminum trailer and from what I...

Well, its sort of a long story, but I more or less ran into the guy and found out he had MV's and was telling him about our recovery of our truck and the alternator taking a crap on us. He told me that he had a couple used alternators and some other misc parts from a blown engine and I should...

So we went to take a look at some deuce parts and get 2 used alternators and ended up leaving with this: I'm a little dumbfounded at the moment, we got the deal of a lifetime. And those pictures aren't even everything, I'll get a list up of everything once we pick it all up and I get it...

Yeah, I didn't realize the non-turbo's had smaller stacks until we went and looked at the truck. I haven't really been able to see how smokey it is seeing how I've been in the drivers seat.

Something else I forgot to add in the initial post... Being that the truck is a non-turbo it has a muffler installed. For those curious, it really cuts down on the exhaust noise. While driving back my wife and I were able to have a "conversation" without screaming at the top of our lungs. The...

Well, I have a lead on a good take out alternator for a steal. No clue what condition it's in, but for the price he's offering I'll take it :mrgreen:. The guy also has a blown LDT motor (the crank broke and it has a giant hole in the side of the block), and a bunch of other parts with the engine...

Well, we got her home yesterday. Threw 2 batteries in, and she fired right up. I promptly cut the power switch back off so the alternator couldn't do anymore damage than it had already done (although at this point I'm pretty confident that its completely dead, I have no power going to...

Well, I'm excited about the new truck. Its a 1967 M35A2 W/W, hard top, heater, non turbo. All in all mechanically it seems to be in good shape, minus the generator (see below), and I have a constant scraping noise coming from the front brakes. Needless to say one of the first things I'm going to...
