We had a deuce in my unit with a setup similar to that.

They are coming down here with a U-haul soon...

Where in Indiana ? My in laws live there.

Reviving an old thread, I'd like to do this someday too. Anyone got any constructive help on making this happen ?

The engine is on...

Was it in a crate ? :)

Pics !

I guess you have a smaller torque wrench. My heater needed to come off anyway.

You were right !

Pretty easy. Close off petcocks on hoses, remove clamps, remove hoses. Undo tie down for hoses on engine top. Unplug heater electrical. Loosen clamp at firewall, remove hose. Take bolts off of heater bottom. Pull heater off. Clean up antifreeze that spills. Admire work.

Come back from beer, and adjust air governor. Go from 90 to 120 psi. Sorry no pics of air governor adjustment.

Ok, now remember, I have no lift pump, so truck may not start. Try to start it anyway. It does not start. Curse, even though you KNEW this would happen.

Fill the filters with fuel, spin on the front one first, then the rear. Admire work, it sure does look sweet right ?

Put in small o-ring around the center of the filter base, and the new gasket around the edge. They should stay there. Put the hex nipple in the adapter and screw it on. Do the other one. Be insanely happy that since the heater is now moved, you can get the torque wrench in there and tighten both...
