Yeah buddy. A project of this magnitude can rack up some serious costs in a hurry. I was tickled to find exactly what was needed.

The little shorty 1410 drive shaft showed up yesterday afternoon. Sweeeeeet Decided after looking at the size of it ( spline shaft diameter) that it is better suited to being located between the TH400 and the NP205 than back buckled up to the 6x case. I DO NOT want those shorty shafts ending...

The short shaft between the T case and the tranny on the 135/211 has a slipper on the front facing yoke where it enters the rear of the gear reduction unit. The slipper will allow for small flexing between the trans and T case under load and will allow the assembly to be removed from the truck...

Not much got done yesterday except a trip to Harbor Freight to get a material support stand to go with the Jet cutoff saw. The shorty tail shaft housing I ordered up off ebay showed up near dark last night. Great deal to get one in top shape CHEAP We want to keep the length of the ENGINE...

I also dug up the flange yoke the will mate to the input of the original 6x6 4 bolt flange. We still need a 1410 output yoke for the 205 Found one, just waiting for the auction to get far closer to ending before jumping in. They are not a real spendy part May go with a 1410 bolt flange on...

Yup The cost for the 1410 shorty shaft with joints was $1000 list and $587.06 my cost Popped it into ebay and one showed up with an opening bid of $100 Nobody else bid on it and I scored it for opening bid $15 shipping $115 against $587.06

Will keep new stuff coming as it happens. The new drive shaft parts I scored off ebay are enroute. Could not believe getting a $600 shaft for $100

Thanks for the info. The little max is sure handy. The Tranny/reduction box was just about all Li'll Red wanted to lift. The RED is a 22 horse Hydrostatic drive 4x4 and really works great. For the bigger lifts we use the Scat Trak skidsteer. It will handily lift a fully dressed 6.5 diesel...

Hey troops. Looking over the T case on the 6x6 It has 2 controls connected, one was originally activated by the trans shift lever when selecting reverse and the other was controlled by the long lever that was accessible by the drivers seat. The control activated by the trans lever ???? I am...

More ripping things off and clearing the way for the great things to come Finally got the old 4 speed hydro and low range box out of the chassis. Then slowly pruned out the old master cylinder, air lines, brake lines, and anything else that will no longer be needed. Goal is a bare frame with...

Finding girls with a taste for Iron is a toughy.

Ahhhh yesss When I heard about this twist last night I just went nuts. This will be so waaaaaaaaaay cooooooooooooooooooooool I did some measuring on the rear tire area and with us using the super single tires all around it looks like there will be enough room to swing the tires without any...

Got after the Old Burb yesterday afternoon and chopped out the engine mount cross member along with some frame to allow us to dissect it down to just what was needed. Things look very promising at this point. I have seen a few other V8 installs in the Old Deuces with various brackets...

Made some great scores yesterday. Scared up a nice drive shaft with 1350 yokes on it that can be easily removed in the lathe. A tad dirty/rusty but as I mentioned that stuff comes off easily. The 1410 shorty shaft needed to buckle the 205 to to the 6x6 case was priced at $600 (Ouch) Found one...

Spent about an hour at one of the large drive line shops up in PDX yesterday afternoon. I took my sketches and data on what gearboxes we are using and what has to connect to what. Took the Shorty center driveline and the output shaft from the TH400 along with me for good measure. The fella...

Update on the deuce Got a lot of measuring done today and some hard data gathered Bottom line To get the engine, tranny and 205 box in and connected, the 6x Tcase is going to need to be relocated to the rear about 18 inches Rear drive lines will get shortened and the front one lengthened...

Thanks so much for the info

Hey troops Yesterday we were going to use the Snow Camo deuce to pull the Burb from the brush pile but no start. No fuel pump sounds and not even a pop. Was fine last time we ran it, maybe a couple months ago. I am suspecting a blown fuse but did not have time to sort it out. Any input on...

Actually the most probable course of action will not be to use that entire cross member but rather just the portion that has the actual engine mount on it, which bolts to the cross member. Will get the parts hacked off the old Burb frame and then possibly build a suitable fixture to hold the...

Copy on the DOG BONE I have been looking at that and been wondering about any real clearance issues with it and the engine/cross member. V8 engines have been stuffed in these trucks before, so we will just have to take it as it comes. Before we pulled the 6 cyl out of the frame some...
