Thanks for the info gringeltaube, thats exactly the info I needed. Looks like I might get to use the rear for the front but will still need one for the tandems and from the transmission to the transfer case if I want all the U-joints to be the same. Otherwise I might be able to move the rear...

If the adapters worked well do you have a machinist that is ready to make a set of 7? I would really like to shift over to 10 bolt Budd wheels.

There are other reasons for the swap, keeping the multi-fuel is a must for me. I am also going over to the 11R22.5 tire size after spending some time down in mexico and south america because that is what is running on all the buses and market trucks down there - no 20 inch tires to be found...

Well I picked up my Clutch box adapter for the transmission last night a little after midnight, very nice having a big truck supply house thats open 24 hours a day just a few miles from you. Right at $225 including shipping it to the Volvo dealer.

Had a day off so decided to get a few things done. Put the 1100r20 G177's on. no hub flip yet - still need to order the seals. A soldier "B" would have been nice for that job. Finally got a picture of the new crane - didn't get to paint it though, it rained all day yesterday. I also went...

I plan to move my transfer case and tandems back to make room for a larger transmission and was hoping to stay with stock sizes if it works out that way.

M35 = 154 inches to center of tandems - 37.5 foot turning radius M36 = 190 inches to center of tandems - 42.5 foot turning radius 36 inches difference in wheelbase = 60 inches in turning radius increase 1 inch of wheelbase increase = 1.66 inches of turning radius increase So if I add 18...

Well I have my LDS-486 in a can safely at the house now. It looks great and I finally bought myself a crane to start the heavy lifting (pics later tonight if I get home before dark). The crane I found is rated at 10,000 lbs and has a 10 foot out reach and 20 foot up all terrain with a hydraulic...

It is going in my 2.5 ton camper build along with an overdrive gear for my transmission to allow me to run a decent speed at 1800-1900. The larger motor with more torque should allow this and give me the option of more top speed.

If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Floor plan of that camper. Doesn't seem too bad but really pricey. Website for the camper - Northstar Campers :: - Online Catalog -

Just find yourself a d100 - d350 and all the glass is interchangeable. So 1972 - 1993 glass will fit I think. Maybe off a couple of years but you get the idea.

As for titling and insurance in MO the law says that if you place the cab of a truck onto the frame of another the truck will be titled as what it looks like. It is a simple frame swap issue for them. When I am finished I will take all the titles and build photos to the HWY patrol and they will...

Most likely it will end up being a hybrid system of some sort. 24 volt systems are a lot better when considering solar power storage then 12 volt. Plus lots of 24 volt appliances exist because of the solar and trucking industry. A 24 volt system is about as much as you could charge at a decent...

So this is my first post. I have been reading here for a couple of years and finally took the plunge. Now some people will not like me cutting up a deuce to make a camper but take comfort in that I plan on finding homes for the parts I don't need and not just chucking them off to the scrapyard...
