If you do that would be one more item off of the list.

I have one of the monsters 6" blocks from a 5 ton (or larger) and they are and handful for my old bones. I had two different leads on correct NSN 3940-00-111-6693 SWL 5T 6" deuce blocks but both sellers went radio silent. I'll keep hunting...

On the subject of winching how about snatch blocks. We all know the correct calculation for 1/2" wire rope requires a 6" pulley sheave but it seems nearly impossible to find that combination. Over the last few weeks of looking and reading old threads they all appear to stop at 4" pulleys for...

Good Lord. That thing is massive. I would say that it's for a 5 ton or even larger.

Thank you jasonjc. That's exactly what I was looking for. It appears that there are slight variations in the hooks over the years as noted by the mounting tab for a lock lever on yours. That's a very large hook to be marked 1/2". Probably why it's been so tough for me to match.

Apparently my Jedi search powers suck. Thank you gringeltaube for the link. First on my reading list for today.

Exactly. While I was cleaning out the toolbox I found what appears to be a NOS snatch block shoved all the way forward. Unfortunately it appears to the the 10T 5/8" wire version. Still haven't been able to find a correct 6" block for 1/2" wire.

Could you PM me a link or tell me what you searched? I was using the NSN on that site and that's better than what I came up with for results.

Worst case I was going to sleeve it down a size or two for clearance but now my curiosity has been peaked. If the correct multifuel shaft is indeed a smaller OD they can be had NOS and complete for $150 shipped. I'm not above modifying something as a means to an end but I do prefer using...

Instead of "all correct" I should have said that everything appears to have been a complete bolt-on with no fabricated parts or strange thing having been done. The flex and twist concern is exactly why I posted. Now I need to see if I can find the diameter spec for a multifuel driveline. Maybe...

Funny you mention that. I was just reading an old thread and saw a random reference to the gas driveline and bellhousing rubbing but not much was said about it. I just checked and the PTO driveline in the truck currently is 2.00" OD.

Any information at all is appreciated and it's no rush whatsoever. She's bedded down in a nice warm shop for the winter. =)

It looks like yours has been changed out like mine was. Below is the best reference photo that I have of an original lead chain and hook. You can see that the hook definitely looks oversized for the chain.

While going over the new to me M35A2C I ran across something odd. The truck is a WO/W that has had the correct winch installed. Everything appears to be original parts and the install looks like clean. While spooling the wire off to take it down for a new thimble I heard a very light dragging...
