Can anyone give me any insight as to why there's absolutely no interest here? Would it be better to list everything one at a time? No one needs new oil filters? Am I shadowbanned here?

Here's a pic of the modified LDS housing and 5 ton clutch parts mated to the FSO. Hoping to find a home other than the scrap yard for that stuff too.

I got really close to makin g it all happen! Built two crazy cars in the meantime, just to cover shop rent, now I'm a few parts away from finishing it and the uppity fire marshall is causing trouble at the complex I rent my shop from, and they're kicking everyone out, so I'm selling the FSO6406...

I need a front and rear driveshaft for a M35a2. I'm in Arizona. I have a bunch of parts to trade with, posted here in the classifieds, but can come up with cash if the price is reasonable.

Last bump!

Anyone interested in anything or do I scrap it all?

Everything is located in Cottonwood, AZ and I'm happy to ship but it's expensive. I will add pics to the thread as I have time but please ask if you're interested in anything specific. LDT Parts: (all serviceable, came off running engine with 3800 miles (but a rough life) and broke the crank...

It took a couple hours to trim the flywheel housing up. I'm pulling the LDT housing off tonight but building the brackets to adapt the LDS housing doesn't look too hard. Looks like I might end up moving the driver's side mount back 4 inches on the frame though, to clear the starter. I like...

There are SAE#3 bellhousings for the Allison 1000 so the transmission will bolt to the factory SAE#3 adaptor that came on the LDT465. You'd just need to find the right torque converter, and have the stock flywheel machined to bolt to it. Figuring out the correct spacing between the flywheel...

That makes a lot more sense. Thank you for posting that image. It really helped visualize the difference.

The engineer in me doesn't like the fact that that adapter is aluminum and as thin as it is normally seeing that the whole weight of the transmision is hanging off of it. The Fuller FSO6406 is probably another couple hundred pounds heavier than a 3053 and quite a bit longer too. I'm leaning...

Hayes wants $1500 for a sae adapter ring and they're 12-16 weeks out. Sad to see American manufacturing at this stage.

If there's a relatively inexpensive way to go from the LDT non SAE pattern to a SAE#2 clutch housing, I'd love to know. There are only SAE#2 clutch housings available for the six and seven speeds that are the best matches for these trucks, and most of the bigger Allison stuff I've seen out...

Sorry if its been covered or suggested. I've been reading my eyes out lately, but will this flywheel help you? It was used in the m656 xm757 to mount an Allison behind a LDS465-2 https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/7848/COM-5310-Multifuel-Allison-Automatic-Conversion-Kit I need one of...

Yep. It's very difficult to mount anything but a 3053/3052 to a LDT. I thought, "I'll just build new mounts and use a LDS flywheel housing..." Nope. It offcenters the motor towards the passenger side and tilts it 84 degrees towards the driver's side. I'd have to redo my fan shroud, upper...
