It may be the transition from standard facing to VelveTouch (bronze pucks) discs found in service now. I'm not certain about this. The new TO bearing was exactly the same as what came out. G744

Some clutch packages go together with not enough movement with pedal full depressed regardless of linkage adjustment. I found that with my A1 years ago when a new clutch went in. I had to lengthen the linkage a bit to get full movement. G744

They were a MWO part, not original to the truck. G744

The best one I ever saw some 40 years ago was a hydraulic torque amplifier unit mounted under the dash. It was on beefy homemade brackets, and the stock steering shaft was customized to fit. They used the stock steering box. I didn't get to see the pump/reservoir, but that would be academic...

They are showing up as technicals in unfriendly places, used by unfriendlies... G744

A strong ball is indeed better than a small one;) All the failures but one were due to crappy couplers on the trailers. The one was a ball sheared off in a hard braking incident, causing the tongue to come thru the back of a motorhome. Nah...

If you haven't found another 70+gal tank or winch, PM me. I can help you out. Dennis aka G744

I have an extra NOS one of those assemblies. Please PM me if interested. Thanks, G744

Seen too many ball hitches fail. Never seen a lunette/pintle do that. My non-military trailers have all been converted to lunettes. It also really cuts down on guys wanting to borrow them...:sneaky:

Alex in Tennessee and I have made contact. G744

Sounds like a good plan.

Looks to me you have side risers with channels to accommodate the boards. If not, maybe there are reinforcements in the bed sides that would accept stakes that could be fastened to the boards. G744

I hear you, I'm 72 now. I still have an M37 I got back in '72. I can still put my spare back on the door rack, just not as fast... G744

I have a radiator and most of the pully/shaft parts. Som other bits & pieces as well. PM me and we can go on from there. Thanks, G744

The local ST shop did a full set of deuce wheel tire mounts for me, it may be a manager issue.
