Agreed. Looks factory.

In pic 6, from the looks of the matching overspray, which had been partially worn/washed off, on the bellows hose, compressor/bellows clamp, and compressor housing, the undisturbed dust on the bellow hose, and in pic 4 the paint rust-through on the corners of the notch you had to make in the...

In pic 5, looks like you might have some oil seepage between the intake elbow to manifold (top edge of the pic, on the left side)... unless the oil is migrating from somewhere else, you might want to pull the intake hose off the turbo, make sure the compessor wheel/housing is dry inside, your...

I'm not sure the park brake drums are milled to be perfectly round sometimes... I've had a return spring snap on the park brake, or the mustache spring cam pin has needed adjustment, allowing a shoe to rattle and "bounce" a bit on the drum while driving. Those things have caused a noise like...

The ones I got from Erik's have the gold zippers, and I believe they're NewStar brand. As stated, so far no issues (about 3,000 mi/6 months in). From the posts I've seen, it really does seem like there was a turning point in quality, for the better, a few years back.

Sorry, not from Rockwell, but... One of mine developed a tiny hole (that you could hardly fit a canteloupe through) so I replaced them in July, with a pair of the zip-up jobs from www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com. My truck is a daily driver, and gets about 6,000 miles a year. The boots from Erik's...

I wish the best for you, and the truck.

Been lurking this thread for Five pages in, and I'm thinking this "leak" is the result of a pooch with a full bladder, or an ornery neighbor kid spilling his mountain dew (or drank it all and subsequently had to relieve a full bladder).... Yep, something along the lines of; something that's not...

Cougar, Thanks a million for posting this thread. My turbo started leaking oil on the compressor side, as seen in the pics. After the rebuild/re-install, I took the truck for a test-run, pulled the intake hose, and it's dry as a bone in there now.For those wanting to replace their turbo hoses...

I snapped this one off just yesterday, and yes I had the faces greased. It still had plenty of compression against the cup, and the seal surface was still good, I'm sure it would've gone another round if it hadn't broke. I might have snugged it to maybe 75' lbs when it gave. I don't adjust...

I tried to use new Breakaway fittings from the OP link today, but 8 of the 14 nuts Supply House sent were out of spec. They measured .446 across the flats, way to big for 7/16 or 11mm, and too small for 12mm (would round over the corners instantly). The others that were in-spec (approx. .435...

Thanks for the Thanks, and to everyone who's chimed in. Have a great Thanksgiving everybody!

Depending on how bad the 1967 date stamped shim-type injectors are that I take out of my truck, I may be ordering another set from you. So like Gringeltaube and Rustystud, I must not be too bothered by it either.

Injector Pop-Tester Adapter for the Deuce/Multifuel As many of us have found, it's tough, if not impossible, to find a pop-test adapter to fit the Multifuel injectors. This is due to the fact that Multifuel injectors have 1/2-20 female threads (uncommon for fuel injectors). From what I...

Well, seems Beyond Biodiesel had good results... Maybe the ones I got were on the bottom of the pallet, or someplace they got exposed to more moisture than some of the others did over the years. For all we know, the ones you get may be fine.

Floridianson, Brother, I was at the end of my rope trying to get those last two to pop:-(. Tore both of them apart and re-cleaned them both with brake cleaner and lacquer thinner several times before even considering to polish. Even after polishing had to tear one down again and polish more! I...

In response to Gringeltaube's question; I'm hoping my experience is isolated... I bought 6 of the NOS injectors from TaylorTrading on that popular e-auction site, and took them to a local Injection and turbo shop to be pop-tested. The shop said that 2 were okay, but 4 of them had stuck needles...

This is just my perspective, but I've seen many Bobbers done by welding the M105 frame section to the truck frame and using the trailer springs, and I've seen ones done using M35A2 front springs instead. Gotta say I really don't like the looks of the ones done with the M105 frame section, or...

Got a machine shop already lined up. Seems like many here on SS insist that resurfacing, just a few thousandths, can be the difference between the job being successful, or being wasted time and $.Other than a stamped reference left from those who did previous resurfacing, regardless of how the...
