    What have I found?

    From the firewall back it is positively M54, I think the steering was changed when the front axle was changed. The engine and transmission change along with the front axle look to have been done by people that knew how to do things right.

    What have I found?

    No tailboard or poles it had a short wrecker boom made out of very heavy pipe but it is long gone. I remember the truck when the cement company had it. Never seen it haul a truck in, just winch out stuck trucks

    What have I found?

    Didn't get any inside pictures, it will be a few weeks before I get it home. Except for the additional air brake knob and air switches for the winch it is pretty much stock. It does have a big heater taking up a lot of the passengers floor.

    What have I found?

    It's really not to bad. Started easy and built air. Brakes work and it drove out of the hole it had been in for 8 years. A pressure wash will do wonders

    What have I found?

    Title says it is a 1955 International. Some where in it's life it has lost the transfer case and front axle. Has full air brakes a 220 Cummins and a 13 speed. It was the wrecker for a Cement company. The price was right and it started right up after setting for years, so it's following me home

    M880 Front Axle Question.

    The only ones I ever saw with the 4500 had the snow plow option. Got the power steering off of one, the pump was high pressure. Steering was too good, had to change the pressure valve in the pump.

    M880 Front Axle Question.

    Don't take this wrong but your making it too complicated. It is just a W200, yes just a 3/4 ton Dodge. Got one I have drove for close to 39 years. Most of your parts guys weren't born when it was new. So Call it a W200 when you need anything othe than military specific parts.

    Auto Transmission will not go into any gear

    Is the transfer case in gear? Years ago my daughter kicked the lever getting out of the truck. It took a bit to figure it out.

    chasing air bubble from 6.2

    Air bubbles cause all kinds of problems and damage from hot spots. Check into vacuum filling it works great. You pull a vacuum on the system and let it suck the coolant in, on air no bubbles

    Dorman oil cooler lines in depth Review

    All I can add is they cost me a engine when an end broke off. They were 1 week old. Had a local hydraulic shop make up some lines, working good after 4 years.
