That POS PTO shaft, boxes, and such looks strangly familiar,, except mine had Ice sickles and frost all over it last time I got intimate with that cursed contraption--- Jan 2017 at around 0*F..... Guess your going to pioneer your way into the exploration of the Samsung 350 Excavator manifold...

ahh,,, the tell tale sign of frustration,,,,,, broken sawzall blades, and torch spatter....:grd:

dang, the stiff leg situation really sucks. I have had those kind of DOH!!:doh: moments. as for the hydro tank... if the wrecker bed is the main use of the hydro system or the only hydro attachement that is going to use that much fluid,,, you could mount the tank up be hind the rear window...

Red, as far as the chassis mounted hydro tank.. a thought just occurred to me.. Our Wreckers have the spare tire and torch bottle area just behind the cab.... If that area was gutted and cut out- reinforced for the structure that runs through there-- couldn't a huge skinny upright tank be...

I have never found one inside the cab of my 816, Though,,, someday I intend to plumb one in for an air chair,,, but too many things on the list in front of it right now..... Where is your air line,,,, could it have been a locker switch????? does it go out the floor and to the rear??? was your...

Wow !!!!! Red,,,, Ive been out for a few weeks on a Fire assignment and just catching up on the backfill. Sucks with all 20 on one side failing at once. My 2cents worth would be that the Right side is the force side when dealing with differentials. thus the inertia of forward force will...

That leak isn't too bad,,, my bed is perpetually covered in fluid from leaks that appear one day and disappear the next..... wish I had the money to tear it all down and do it right..

The 6.2 is a good economiser,. Before I swapped the Cummins in mine I had a 6.2 th400 for a short time,. The 400 was ok but it robbed the 6.2 of its fuel economy. So I swapped in the sm465/np204 when I converted mine to 4x4. Then found a GM3 mechanical waste gate turbo setup off a 93 GM 6.5...

Glad I could be an inspiration to you. (82 chevy 3+3) Mine used to be state dot yellow too, had a couple gallons of green laying around one afternoon. Bed is a shortened M105, with 6" out of the front, and 7-8" out of the rear, total 8' inside length, added a dump cyl underneath and now...

nice work Red. Ive been busy lately and for some reason I haven't been getting the email updates from SS

looks good from a distance,,,, little lumpy close up but it does the trick.

Found the other pics of the hood Mod. basically cut on the flat edge of the hood where the side meets the roll for the top. easier to graft in metal and weld to a flat edge than recreate a rolled edge. Kept it intact at the rear near the hood hinges, and lifted the front up about 2" - 2.5"...

The push rods are the same,,. You should be able to put the Jake's on the rear heads with no hood mod. I had the turbo pipe so I had to lift it another 2-3" over the Jake height. The front Jake is an automatic hood mod but you may be able to lift the grill about an inch or so to gain the...

Surgically cut the top off the hood where the top meets the edges, all the way back to the hinges,. Took the top and raised it about 3" in the front and filled the gap with sheet metal,. Welded, and somewhat smoothed with fiberglass and done. Yes I have a killer view of Devils Tower

found pic of oil line. This is with the Jake installed and the old (black vavle cover) in place. second pic is the oil passage plugs, solid plug is what we have, the open plug is what needs to be inserted for the Jake kit. oil plug location

you may be able to squeak by, I had to mod mine but I have the cross over tube for the turbo.. mind you the pic of clearance is with the hood cut for mod. Also,, you will have to move the port on the firewall for the oil pressure line. I scalped my hood and added 3" to it, raising the top...

I see a crane drive grease pot.... no progress on the rotary manifold for either of us... mine is sitting in the floor, but hey,,, parts in the floor are cheap compaired to "I need it yesterday, can you overnite???" wish I could convince the wife of this when it comes to the MG42/53 LMG...

after watching you and M1 go through this my fears have been well confirmed about the better route being to swap axles,,,,, however I do prefer S-cam over getting a wedgy-only a mild pun intended.....

Hmmm.... ok,, theoretically, as I don't want to drop a tank right now for shnicks and giggles... but if the driver tank was moved to the pass side,,, the filler would be either under the cab (oriented as it sits on driver side,) or under the bed/outrigger(turned around) thus a major PITA to...

I missed the part about the pass side "hole" and not the actual tank,, yes I think with a slosh factor/reserve of a few gallons, the driver side is 78gal. I am in favor of keeping the driver side in place, as its bigger, considering I do a lot of stationary "idleing or 1200rpm" with the crane...
