U-joints added. Colors changed to look closer to the Steel Soldiers theme.

I had time this weekend to pull a u-joint and the Spicer 5-160X and Moog 330 are the exact same as what came out of the parts truck driveline. I will get them added to the parts list within the next few days. Here are pics of the new and old together. I was also able to apply some All Metal...

You will like having a functioning airpak. Makes a huge difference! Just a slight push on the brake pedal and you will feel it engage. When will you install the rebuilt one? What else did you find in that treasure chest?

That sure seems really high! If those numbers are right, maybe some name dropping would be good so I know who not to do business with. Do you think there would be any interest in the M809 series airpak power piston assembly that allows us to use the 5 ton rebuild kit if I can get them made at a...

I did a search for that exact part number and can only come up with the Spicer 5-160X which happens to be the same as the Moog 330 that I found. I am guessing what the Goat crew has is the same thing? If you get a chance, could you confirm measurements for me unless I get around and get one...

Dave, those beautifully taped transmission gasket kits arrived yesterday in great shape. Not even a scrape or wear spot on them. Someone took good care of them on their way south. Thank you very much for sending them to me. I was surprised to see the 1986 date on them. I had no idea Canada...

Does anyone have a NOS u-joint laying around that measurements could be taken off of to confirm if this is a replacement? If anyone already has a good part number for them, that would be great too. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/OPJ0/330.oap?ck=Search_330_-1_751&keyword=330 I figured...

If you get one, could you post some pics of it compared to the original? Maybe we can add this to the parts list if they are right.

I really like that paint job on Gizmo. Was the check valve bad in the old airpak or was it something else?

Thank you for the offer. Since I already ordered the All Metal, I am going to experiment with it first. If it doesn't work, I'll order my own tinning tools since I will have at least one more truck that will need some work too. SturmTyger....I also found these shift knobs at McMaster Carr. They...

That is neat! How would a person keep it from running off of a side panel?

Could you move your trip down here to next weekend instead of this fall so you can show me how to do it? :-D I was out looking at what I have to fill and was using a straight edge to see how bad things are. I really don't think it will be too bad. Everything was way less than 1/4 inch deep...

I also found USC All Metal. http://uschem.com/index.cfm?page=productDetail&id=54 I have a lot of research to do so I can get this truck done.

What I have to fill is mainly some small pits from welding that could not be avoided and the heat from the weld made some of the larger patches dish inwards a bit. Nothing close to 1/4 inch deep. I did spray primer on everything for now since it is so humid here, everything rusts really quick...

I have never used Bondo either. I was wanting something that will outlast me and liked the idea of putting metal back on there. How hard are you talking about when you say Lab Metal is hard to sand? Have to use a grinder with a flapper wheel hard or use an orbital sander hard? I was thinking...

We finally got the welding done on my truck yesterday. Rusted out spots and unnecessary holes were fixed. The antenna hole in the hardtop was patched. I am really happy about it and can start prepping to paint now. I'm ready for this ugly truck to look nice. Some of the patches look rough, but...

Are you positive there is not a check valve in the master cylinder too? I've been hearing talk that doubled up check valves can cause brakes not to release as well. Mine had them doubled up. It should be like this. Since our check valve is in the airpak. Those exhaust parts look great!

Thank you for sending those! Looks like you guys are busy. So your guys found a bunch more parts #'s ?! That is great!!!

Here is what I found, but I have not called to see if the thread size is 3/8-24. http://www.classicindustries.com/product/1950/truck/parts/cx1083.html If you order one of these and it works, will you let me know so I can add it to the parts list?

I put a shift knob on the orange M135. I've had this knob off a 50's GMC/Chevy manual transmission for a few years. Turns out it works perfect and looks exactly like the one on my other M135. Small victories make me as happy as big ones. It appears that the shift knobs on the 1950's GMC...
