Howdy, I am trouble shooting a case of fuel feeding failure. I have installed a Schrader valve in to a standard fuel cap. I want to also install a pressure gauge in the fuel cap to make sure that I am safely pressurizing the system. What is the maximum pressure I should use to test the...

Howdy, Over the weekend my 923-a2 quit running while going down the road. It would start after a 15-30 minute rest, run very rough and quit again in about 30 secs after pumping out huge clouds of black smoke. So I got home ( a whole different story titled "Towing a 5 Ton with a Ford F-350...

Howdy CPDOG, It looks like you have no problem with willing travel companions ;-) First I'm going to build the small stairs for the passenger side of the cab to see if my design adaptation will work. If everything works out I'll tackle the longer set. It looks like I will need to have as...

Wow your cab interior is so nice! I'm afraid that my truck interior is still decorated in a patina of quality military rust... My Golden weighs in at a svelte 90 pounds and to lift him five feet is a little taxing on both of us! So I'm also planning on building a folding ramp/stair system...

Howdy CPDOG, I really like your stairs! I have been working on a ramp/stair design where the ramp will parallel the truck bed and connect to the tailgate when it is down in it's level to the bed position (making a small deck). I am working on this design because I need a pretty long ramp for...

The box has been mounted and tested. Howdy, I have finished mounting the Craig box on to my 923-a2 and the setup has had limited off-road testing to-date. The spring setup has articulated as I hoped so I will be doing more on and off-road testing. My mounting philosophy was to reduce stress...

Howdy Jeff, The rivets do not go all of the way through to the interior wall so drilling/grinding the rivets from the outside is required. I was hoping to learn of a way to remove the guts of the box without destroying them to facilitate easy access to drilling the rivets. This weekend I will...

Howdy, I am installing a Craig 73 Communications box on my 923-a2. I want to remove two fuse boxes and I would prefer to remove them without simply destroying them as someone may be able to use them for their project... Here are the boxes I want to remove: It appears to me that grinding...
