Ok guys I started on my wiper upgrades I used the ANCO wiper arms and blades 73X suggested and new metal wiper motors from kubolos surplus 26F outside so came in to warm up so far so good. I will post a further update later.

Hey LFODT2B,
Congrats on the new addiction and the new toy! Now that you've had some time to play with it, wrench on it and play with it some more, are ya still planning to go through with a bob job? If so, I've done a deuceload of research on bobbing and have some suggestions. There's so many different ways to do it depending on how you want it to look, how you want it to ride and what you plan to do with it. If you'd like to discuss this further and in more detail, send me a PM and I'll share what I know. I have a low-budget plan for bobbing the one I'll be recovering soon and by my estimation, should take me about 2 to 3 days to do the majority of the work. (if all goes smooth that is)

Glad to hear things are moving along. Wish I could be of some help to get you ready for inspection but work has me going all week.

Keep updating how it is going.

Will keep any political comments to myself on this site from now on if any were of that nature. Will keep the updates coming.

 

[schwenk industries]

Is it a rear axle or a front axle? I may be able to cut out the part of the manual you need for the seal replacement and post it on here for you.
good luck.

If you could i would greatly appreciate it.

Well I havent posted in a long time I tried selling my truck to purchase a house but I did not sell it. The weathers been nice so been working on it alot and started bobbing it and going through rebuilding wheel cylinders. I have the tandem almost out I was hoping to get it done before my fathers military service but been working on it solo. I am not looking forward to getting a folded flag but such is life. I have a question about oil leaking on exaust side of head gasket its the newer style with tabs and a puff of white smoke when you idle it up. Couldnt get a clear answer from searching forums oil leaking when throttled up. Thanks for any and all help

 

[LiveFreeOrDieTryn2B]

I still havent decided on a bed yet but a utility bed is one idea i.e. welding trailer bed or enclosed utility bed maybe an adventure truck bed I will definitely have parts left over decided not to use my stock bed probably sell or trade for more parts but if not who knows planning on putting lockouts in for sure redoing brake lines and ebrake liners maybe some led lights and mulling over a digital wooodland paint scheme. Lots to think about and do.

 

[gunboy1656]

I know of a cheap generator trailer (flatbed) for sale. There is also a M105 and M149 for sale as well.

 

[LiveFreeOrDieTryn2B]

Not wanting a flat bed I have an m105 but not sure if i want to use its bed I saw a welding trailer on GL before that was enclosed I think it was plastic though a service bed with compartments is what I m thinking about or something similar lots to think about. Thanks for the imput the m105 bed is still up for debate.

 

[LiveFreeOrDieTryn2B]

Ok I did some searching and the trailer body I was thinking of is a m103a3 welding/service trailer thats what I may start hunting for.
