I'm happy with my purchase even if I park it out front and attach my mailbox to it. :lol: I came into it figuring the transmission was probably toast, I was hoping to at least move it around under its own power though.

If you could make it work. If I do anything with this truck, I'll probably yank the motor and transmission and throw in a 350/th350/205 that I have laying around, and mate to to the original transfer case. I'd love to keep the 302, but I can't see how to make it work with the starter. Also I...

The guy I got it from was showing me what to do to tow it and he shoved the transfer case lever down and said that it's in neutral now, and that you can tow it like that. The front tires were spinning, but I don't think the motor was spinning when the driver pulled out, when we got it home, I...

I believe improperly towed, and possibly even with the transfer case engaged.

I just figured somebody would have done that by now

Just an update on my transmission, I couldn't get the tests done outlined in the TM's, so I decided to drain the oil and pull the pan. I knew it was a bad sign when pieces were splashing into the bucket. After the oil stopped draining, I stuck my finger up the drain hole and stirred around all...

I figured somebody thought about it harder than I did, I was thinking you'd use the back transmission for low range, basically leaving it in straight drive on the road, then use the front transmission to run through the gears. Honestly, I was picturing a 3 speed behind a 4 speed, but I didn't...

I want to see somebody put two manual transmissions together and make it work with two shifters. You'd have the gearing you need

Theres a company I sent some seals to through the mail for a hydraulic cylinder, and they made me some new ones and sent them back. I don't see why it couldn't be done with these. I cant remember the company name, and I'm not sure about the rules on posting company names, so just google for it.

The throttle linkage was already apart, but I did put it back together. Could that transmission linkage have anything to do with a "no drive" condition? I need to read up on the function of it. I assumed its for shifting. I love this awesome old truck and even if I can't get it driving, I'll be...

Ok, thanks. I'll check that control valve tomorrow. I'd like to keep it original if I can. The last owner was no mechanic, but at least he painted everything he had off. It made it easy to find everything that's messed up. That motor was a nightmare to get running after he got done with it. It...

I think my transmission is ruined from towing it about 45 miles. The tow truck never got over 45mph. The guy I bought it from said it will tow with the transfer case in neutral, but when the tow truck got here, the transmission was too hot to touch and smoking a little. Maybe it was stuck...

Ok thanks, I was having trouble seeing them, but I switched to full site and now it works.
