I feel you did well in opting for the title. There are a few states from which they pull their titles. I know they go through Florida as I have gotten Florida titles in the past. I think they go through Arizona, too, but I am not positive as I never got an Arizona title from them. I seem to...
The threads on the fuel filler neck have most likely rusted and the cap won't come off. Use a chain wrench (a strap wrench with a chain instead of a strap) to loosen it. I have an NOS fuel filler neck if you need it, although you really don't need it. You can just install the fuel cap onto...
What about after market oil filters? Don't they make ones that don't allow the oil to drain back? I always kept my trucks stock, but I seem recall reading something in one of the threads about after market (spin on) oil filters. I hope I am not mistaken this for one of the M44 series threads...
WOW! Are you sure that is not for the turbo motor? That was the price of the turbo motor the last I checked about 15-18 months ago. If that is for the NA motor, their prices have gone up substantially (and by that I mean more than doubled). A friend bought a NA 6.5L motor from them toward the...

Make sure you bring extra fuel filters with you, especially the little in-line filter, assuming your truck is so equipped. Most of the A2s I've owned at the little in-line filter, but one or two had the m809 series filter retrofitted. Good luck.
NDT is correct. I've rebuilt a set of troop seats once. After all of the work, not to mention cost, I decided it is better to buy them. I used to get mine from Rich Greene in PA and John Winslow in NC. Unfortunately, both have passed away.
