The MEP's just make the trip profitableRescue HETs that lose most of their shoes when they were headed home.
Minor inconvenience I hate hauling things that don't roll on or off. Gives me a reason to want to add a craneThe MEP's just make the trip profitable![]()
WHEW! At least you don’t have to change your shift pattern sticker now....Ended up pulling the rear case and swapping output bearing and shaft.
If I pull it back out it'll be to do an air assist hydraulic clutch.WHEW! At least you don’t have to change your shift pattern sticker now....
This is rare to see, glad I'm not the only one. An old family friend taught me body work and he hated to use bondo I watched him drill holes into a piece he couldn't access the other side and use a hardened steel L shaped rod with a T handle to pull it out from the inside. He then filled the drill holes with metal and sanded smooth. He may use a very light coat of bondo if the work was still noticeably uneven but it was maybe thick as construction paper at the deepest he usually only used it if there were slight creases that would show after painting.Haven't gotten much done. Mostly fixing body issues. Preparing for paint. I hate bondo. My idea of body work is a hammer
What rims did you use for the 445s?Haven't gotten much done. Mostly fixing body issues. Preparing for paint. I hate bondo. My idea of body work is a hammer
Picked up a new hood from Sargent Surplus near Louisville. Stupid heavy things.
445s are done on it.
Desplined a set of front drive flanges.
Installed temperature gauges for the engine oil, transfer case, and both rear axles.
Rebuilt the jackshaft.
Used a grease fitting rejuvenator on a few stuck ones.
Doing a 24v to 12v equalizer swap along with a 24v alternator.
Picked up a 13spd RTOO14613. Triple overdrive unit.
22.5 x 12.25 steels that fit the 917A1sWhat rims did you use for the 445s?
They get me on the downhills but she will run 82 with em in West Texas.42 year old truck passin' the modern trucks like they be up on blocks
Maguyver sounds better.@simp5782 Dude, you are 10 of the most interesting people I know. You talk about pulling heads on the side of the road like it's no big deal. You customize your trucks with the ease of a kid swapping pieces on a Mr. Potato Head toy.
I am very inspired by your independence and self sufficiency.
