I hear you. I used to do it with hammers and bars. But there usually was damage to the backing plate or questionable clearance to bodywork. Now i do it this way. Zero damage and the tools do all the heavy lifting. These were 15x6 brakes and stuck like hell. By the look of it the corrosion the...

Yes this isn't my deuce. But it IS a modern version of a dual wheel cylinder manually adjusted drum brake assembly same as our deuces. This is for the guys in the hobby who are willing to take on things that others throw away. So you bought yourself a truck. Sometimes Father Time has welded the...

That truck is all kinds of cool. I would love to have a unit like that. Hope you do well with the resto!:cool:(y)

Here in Canada I've dealt with this a few times. You do your research as to the decoding of your vin by the manufacturer's data. Print it out including any weblinks.. Take it over to the local autoplan (insurance agents). have them call up the provincial licensing body (ICBC) and state the...

Thank you so much for the warm invitation. This is a direct example of the unbreakable bond between Canadians and Americans on an individual personal level. Truly heartwarming. My family came to Canada before confederation. I was raised to confront adverstity head on. If i dont engage, and...

Ok so here is the latest. A friend of mine dogged the head of the CVSE here in Victoria by phone for a week. Finally got a call back and had a candid discussion with him regarding our situation. Here are the basic take aways; Ex- military vehicles produced prior to 1966 are exempt as the Motor...

I am 100% going to run out and mout an alarm bell AND a gong to my M135, maybe a couple of coal oil lanterns to my WC62.

A friend in the hobby sent me this today and may be of use to us. ["that at the time the vehicle was manufactured was not designed to conform to the standards prescribed in the Motor Vehicle Safety Act" the DOT was born in 1966 before that time the only legislation regarding autos was: Act...

So I've been thinking about this. The legal precedent has been set long ago regarding the hirearchy of engineering standards. Level 1 is DOT/SAE (the lowest) Level 2 Milspec Level 3 Avionics/Aerospace My understanding is it is about the engineered in saftey factors. If a part,device, or piece...

"what we will tolerate by our elected officials"

This is 100% the thin end of the wedge. Sherwood Forest is for the elites. The AI controlled drones will make sure we stay in our prison cities where they can tax and control us 24/7.

The broader interpretation of this would be ANY non conforming vehicle. The definer would be if they deem the vehicle to have met the requirements of the motor vehicle act at the date of manufacture, or if they try to hold it up to the latest standard, which would mean no more vintage vehicles...

So it has happened. The scumbags that run our Provincial Government, specifically the Ministry of Transportation, with a stroke of a pen, have killed the military vehicle hobby and cost collectors and related businesses millions of dollars...

So for those that are following and those that find interest. Here are a couple of pics of the modified high/low formerly pto shift fork. I don't have fitment pics yet, It's been back to back projects at work the last month and a half so little time to play with my toys. Judging from the last...

I have a spare. It will take me a little while to liberate it. How soon are you looking to move your rig? PM me your contact info and i'll get back to you asap. Cheers

What an awesome rig! I have a couple of jobs I could use one of those for. Excellent score brother.:cool:(y)

Hi all.. So after much delay.. and some vaccinations..I'm back at it while I try and get the shop cleaned up enough that I have room to swing a cat. I took the front shifter rail support apart and it turns out the detent ball for the forward/reverse sprag rod was missing. Not a huge deal I...

I feel for you. I am doing a rotex gear/bearing assembly change out in a broderson IC-80 yard runner...almost as bad as Tax Pain..My flintstone international yard crane slews with wire ropes, a D shaped pulley and a hydraulic tie rod cylinder. It also has some slop. Absolutely terrifying if your...

That looks fantastic. What a great job..mmmm Centari...i can still tase the last job i sprayed with that..was a great bang for your buck.

I think overall length will be the issue. Off the top of my head the Hydramatic is 33" OAL as i remember it. and the jack shaft is very short. A full synchro 4 spd in front of the brownie might fit. One of the nicest shifting transmissions ive ever had my hand on is a T19 out of a 84 ford with a...
