Bed rails DO NOT stiffen the truck frame, they STIFFEN the BED so the truck frame as it flexes, the bed does not crack at the weak points, the bed rails SUPPORT the bed load weight, spreading it on the truck frame, the bed rails supply heigth so he bed dies NOT contract the tires under...

In this case NOTHING, because dropping the bed rails has NOTHING to do with machining or welding, has NOTHING to do the the mechanics of frame and bed flex, has has NOTHING to do with the MANY ENGINEERING REASONS that the bed has bed rails. REMEMBER that EVERY item on that has reason for being...

The bed rails have very little to do with main frame strength, the bed rails spread the load on the frame rails, the BED rails spread and SUPPORT THE BED, WITHOUT the bed rails the bed WILL tend to crack at the weak spots due to NO support as the truck frame rails flex. This WAS a BAD idea by...

That was put there by someone so they could put air to the system WITHOUT the engine running noise when looking for air leaks.

I would NOT do the single valve no matter the space limitations BECAUSE with ANYTHING going wrong with the single valve, the truck is dead, with the two valve setup, the truck can keep going if one valve dies with creative plumbing.

As long as it HAS anti corrosion, and anti-foaming additives you should be good to go.

Also add 7014 to your rod list, a nice flowing rod

Now would be a good time to tell the story of the DRIVER of the Proud American and how the "DRIVER" Robert Walter Thorne in his last dieing breath saved the rest of the Prouds crew by turning into the bank instead of the other direction which would have put the truck over the edge, causing it to...

Color fixed, notice the frame under the bed, "GREEN", you can not tell the old paint from the new, the base coat is done, trying to get a hold of Jon to order some brown and black, so far no luck, forgot his screen name, he was selling a truck load of one part carc, even I a NON PAINTER, a just...

This is ONLY true if you are using a cascading rigging, in normal snatch block rigging, (back and forth between point A and B) all the lines split the load, the cumulative pull would equal the needed pull, the ATTACHING point ON the pull needs to be able to take the FULL load of the pull, the...

I would use a deuce/939 front wheel drive air switch, two one way valves and a tee, the one way valves on each input to the tee to prevent back feed, the air switch as your manual air feed, VERY SIMPLE.

The 6602 (602 ci) has the most power of the three 39 series trucks, this summer, we are going to pull the heads from a 6602 powered m62 (wrecker), I had another set of heads from our spare 6602 milled with a 3/16 cut, this will increase the compression so using modern gas will decrease the fuel...

This started out as a draglines fairlead (thank you Ray), everything froze,so rebuild, shimmed, ect., so now everything moves, and tight and welded to the rear outrigger cross beam, the cable will go under the fifth wheel to the rear front winch that will be down in the frame between the crane...

Think this applies to 75% of the attendees.

The roof side angle is 44 dig. The front angle is 52 dig., I used the lower edge of the roof for my base with the angle up (55 dig), this is the 44 dig. side of the roof section that has a 55 deg angle up. in another words you would need to get the 44 dig. piece in place before you can get the...

This is because Steel Soldiers is a internet based site that can accessed by some phones, and some are smarter then others. (nothing like a dumb smart phone)

Please explain what that is, I am sure as well as others will atest to that it WILL not be in my tool box.

Bart is not mine, wish it was, built for a client.

Yep, saw that AFTER I posted, I "read" 931, but was still drinking my first cup of coffee AND did not have my glasses on.
