Alright....still looking for a replacment engine, since i am going to keep a diesel in the truck, but I want a little more power and just an all around cool power plant.....I am now looking for a Cummins NHRBS 275 also known as the "Iron lung". These were the supercharged cummins from the...

I need to do a PT pump conversion if I keep the stock engine, since parts for the dual disk pump are non-existant. All the truck wrecking want a premium for they're engines, so the repower is going to take a little saving, depending on what I get for scraping the crane set up and for the...

I dug up a second repower option today. I have a '68 mopar 440 that I had built years ago for a tractor pulling truck that was never finished, about 550hp, 600ft lbs of torque, sitting in my storage shed. A friend of mine called me up and said he was parting out his flatbead that has a rebuilt...

Slow haha, I've been working nights/evenings the last few weeks only time I get is on the weekends. I am almost done with the wiring harnesses, need to run a couple extra circuts for spot lights and a CB (a must have in the dessert here in AZ, cells don't reach that far out and satelite phones...

Got the dash out of the cab last night, and pulled out the butchered and rotted original harnesses. Started to string the new wires last night but ran out of day light. Has anyone ever converted there blackout light for use as turn signals? I am thinking about keeping the housings for them, but...

Good to know, I was going to put the word out for a Cummins big cam 350 as I already have an SAE bellhousing that will bolt the motor to the stock trans....they are still easy to get parts for, thousands of them were put into all different rigs over the last few decades and they can be had...

Ok, I have decided that the crane is going to go, need to pick up a new air compressor so I can fire up the plasma cutter and get it off the back. The boom and the pullies/top pivot are military items (they are OD green under the black spray paint atleast....no names or numbers I can find to run...

Many say so....its been brought up a couple times now.....my truck is the White Devil

Ha, I don't think i'll have any big issues with him. hes just another MV and international collector, good old guy. It might cost me a couple bucks since he did sell the truck as it sat and nothing about the stock wheels was advertised, so i won't be looking for a hand out.

Thanks, I am learning all I can about this thing, there isn't the amount of info out there like the Chevy and GMC's of the same years...or even the bigger wards or similar trucks. I'll hit up the seller this week when I go back for the bill of sale, hopefully he hasn't hid the wheels away yet.

Here are a couple more new pictures. Got the truck running again today, still getting air from somewhere...or my injector pump is shot. It won't run unless someone is on the fender pumping the primer. I took a shot of the ID tag for the truck to show that this is a White 666ECT....I don't know...

Also, my air pump works great, that was a big surprise, but the lines to the front and rear trailer conection are cut and bent over, the pressure in the tanks bled off in about 5min. I haven't tried to drop it into gear or move the PTO till I have all the chains free and the u-joins...

Well, I did figure out it is a'45 ECT tractor, the data plates were in the glove box, took a bit of work to get it opened (i'll get a picture of them posted in the morning). I have both side panels, just had them off on both sides to access the starter and pump on the cummins a little easyer...

Ok, I had a semi busy couple of days working on the 666. Finally got it fired up with surprisingly little smoke, considering the truck hasn't ran in so long, the fuel is pretty old and the amount of cranking I had to do to get everything primmed and ready. The only major issue i had (other then...

sweet, sounds like the decomp lever you have ins in the same place mine is....i was guessing that it was a decomp but wasn't 100% sure yet.

That old cummins doesn't run to bad there, have any more shots of just the motors? I would be interested in seeing how you do the PT conversion also.

I have the lowest bottom of the barrel H1 model....or so i am told....the tags are not where they should be on this engine, as it was rebuilt at some point after '68 and the rebuilders tag in there now where the factory one should be(the rebuilder is still in business, opened shop in...

Ok, after a morning of inspecting the condition on the wire harnesses in this truck, I've decided that it will be 100 time more cost and time effective to just rewire the entire truck. Most of the wiring currently in the truck is the original cloth wraped stuff that has been out in the AZ heat...

I would be very interested in seeing that....haven't made any calls around today to find copies yet.

Ahh...the move to AZ via utah then south korea was the idea of the united states air force....can't keep me in one location more then 3-4 years.
