I had some catching up to do. Took me about 30 minutes to read all 14 pages. I had stopped at page 6. Very happy to see you've stuck in there brother. Oh yeah... BOO Here I am. :D

Your doing it man, your doing it....great progress.

Come on, Dave. If he told you that, he'd have to kill you....

Previous owner retained the crossmember linkage as I had envisioned, excellent pictures and many thanks for posting! I will be replicating the setup on my own truck. Any pneumatic cylinder capable of 30lbs pulling force should be enough. Most are likely well above that range. Topo, you are...

Just to clarify, the front axle engagement is done automatically. It kicks power to the front axle when any rear wheel begins to slip 6% faster than the front. The sprag which controls this action just needs to be told which way to deliver the power to the front axle. This is done via the...

Hey, Tim. The forward/reverse shift rod on the transfer is a common repower problem. The original Hydramatic shift tower/linkage worked so the transfer case was shifted in unison with the transmission. Obviously, with any new transmission you'd be hard pressed to modify the linkage to work the...

Sounds like she is slowly coming together, totally the way to do things. The 6V sounds really happy in there, looks like it really gets up and moves too. As you know, the #1 killer of Detroits is under revving. To the untrained ear, they sound like they're about to come apart. What's not to love...

Can you be more specific on the headlight switch connector? Any electrical G749 parts are still easy to source. Wheel cylinders.....brand new Raybestos ones from Napa will run you around $35 each. The part number is WC15306 and if you google this number plenty of search results will pop up...

Fantastic! Would it be possible for some more engine bay pictures taken a bit further away, say standing on the bumper? I can only begin to see how tight that Detroit fits in there. But excellent documentation thus far! The thought of a 6v53 powered G749 series truck has captivated me for 2...
