I recently ordered a full set of data plates for a bobbed deuce and they arrived within a few days. I am happy with the service I received. By the way; David, I need another full set for the bobbed truck I'm working on now, PM me!

Oldshep, Very nicely done! I'd like to know more about your disc brake setup and where did you get the wheels?

Here's the answer to your Deuce front springs vs. M105 trailer springs: http://www.xm381.com/xm381/How_To/Pages/The_Great_Spring_Debate.html And I am very jealous, I really like that trailer!

These guys make u-bolts to your specs and at a reasonable price (I've purchased multiple sets from them). http://www.truckspring.com/suspension-parts/hardware/u-bolts.aspx

Also make sure the heater is plumbed into the correct places, many are not. The "pressure" line is on the intake manifold right next to the temperature gauge sensor (it's got a wire plugged into it) and the return line is on the side of the water pump above the alternator. Many times the...

Good catch! I updated the first link.

It's amazing what fresh paint, new data plates and stickers will do to the looks. I use new stainless screws too.

Yes, it's in the wrong place!

The bezels are painted silver and if you look real close, the instruments are back lit with amber LEDs.

Hundy, Looks great! I like how you're cutting down the beds. I'm a little jealous, I don't own a dump truck.... but maybe I need one!

Here's one I did awhile back, non-standard but looks pretty good. The only thing I'd change on the next tan truck will be the instrument bezels, I'll make them either tan or black.

The engine is a standard turbo multi-fuel. The tube is 1 1/4" in diameter and I made mine about 33" long.

I usually drive my truck around 2200 to 2300 RPM, it runs great and does not leak. If I push it to 2500 RPM it belches out a big puddle of oil from the engine rear main seal when I shut it down. I was discussing it with a diesel mechanic friend of mine who said the crankcase pressure was too...

I'm sending a truck to Nevada, any tricks or issues I should know about in regards to tagging it there? It's got a current Oklahoma tag and title.

Here's one we just finished.

As part of a fund raising event for an organization called "Rebuilding Together" (kind of a Habitat for Humanity group) an adult soapbox derby was held in OKC this weekend. The local Jaguar dealership put together a group of cars ranging from a 1957 XK-140 to the new XF to display at the derby...

Yes, "race" = "bearing cup". I get bearings from Allied Bearing, much, much cheaper than NAPA. O'Reilly Auto is typically cheaper then NAPA too. Yes, you can usually reuse seals. By the way, these are the Rockwell / Meritor seal part numbers: Inner: A1205Z650 Outer: A1205Q667

Thanks! Website Harbor Freight part number fixed. 2445 is KD's part number. A NAPA search using only that number (without SER) will find it. There is a paper gasket, often you can re-use it, but if not I've used gasket maker without issues. Race part # (interchange, both inner and outer)...

The TH400 and I think most automatics use "sprag" clutches, it allows gears to free-wheel in one direction but lockup in the other.

Looks great! How about an M105A3 bed? The way that the lights are mounted on the bed would look very similar to the M35A3's front. I think the wheel wells are different on the M105A3, so I'm not sure about clearance, have you every used one for a bobbed bed?
