You got that right !!! I still came close to getting the ax on that one. Some people in upper management didn't like "common" mechanics modifying anything on their own without "proper" supervision ! As if those paper pushers even knew what it was that I did ! Thankfully the Base Supervisor had...

I used the GM one since it has the front driveline on the passenger side. I'm also building one for my 2019 silveradeo, but it will be the Ford case since the front driveline is on the driver's side. The cases I used all had the large bearings, but that really wouldn't matter since they all...

Normally I would totally agree with you, but the M1078 is a 5 ton truck. Much bigger and heavier and needs more fuel per mile. The whole reason to keep the Deuce is the nice package it represents. Big enough to haul what I need, yet small enough to avoid all those problems of a larger truck ie...

I forgot to up-load pictures of my steel bearing retainers. Here they are. The last picture is of my remote mounted shaft cables. This way I can mount it almost anywhere in the cab. I'm going with dual cables to allow the NP205 to be shifted to 4X4 high, 4X4 low, front only and rear only. This...

OK, I think I figured out how to get the images uploaded. You can see how much larger these shafts are compared to the largest "stock" shafts . Their kits come with new aluminum bearing housings, but I had steel ones made up for mine. Also the cast iron housing needs to be modified to fit the...

I'm working on a NP205 right now that should be able to handle 1,000 HP and over 1000 FT of torque. Plenty strong for the Deuce with 1/4 the weight and 1/3 the size. Far simpler to work with too. This NP205 has front and rear 1500 series U-Joints . The output and input shafts are much larger...
