I, too, have a soft spot for the Elcamino. I have a 67. Probably why I like that version best. It was an original 283/power glide car with the Malibu package. Now has a 400 crate engine with a TH350. Anyway, it was my first car and a lot of fun. They are already pretty light in the rear...

Are you looking for this type of look? The color is wrong, it's just the walmart rattle can dark green camo, but I used the marking pattern for, I believe, pre-64 trucks.

Ok. I have a 1952 Mack M51A2. Has the LDS-465-1A engine. Steering box on the frame says Hydrapower. Was driving last week, and was fine for several miles. Went around a roundabout, straightened up, seemed normal. Then noticed that steering was a little sloppy, started noticing that...

I hope that it doesn't die out. It's the only rally I'm close enough to get to. I wasn't able to make it this year, unfortunately. The m51 lost the power steering on the way there. Hopefully next year will be the one.

I wasn't sure what it is. When wet, it's slimey. When dry, it almost feels like flour. It's plugged up the filters before. And it's running like it's doing it again. I have a new set of filters to go in after the cleaning. I only run straight diesel now, but for a little while I was...

I pulled the fuel tank off my dump. Has a bunch of what I assume is algae in it. Going to try to clean it out and then treat with some biocide.

I dig it.

I'm not very familiar with the cucv, but most gm starters can be jumped by touching the big post on the solenoid with the battery cable to the small post on the solenoid with a screwdriver. This will generally suffice for an emergency scenario or just to test the drivetrain. And congrats on...

Welcome from SE Kansas. Lots of info here. I actually get down to that area every spring for snake hunt.

My mistake. I realized after I posted the link that he was talking about the 805 vs 005.

As I understand it, the 805 can be reconfigured to run single phase. I don't know the specifics, but I believe it looses capacity/output when doing so.

Congrats on the new wheels. I'm in the south east corner of Kansas, if you need anything on the way through.

After an event like that, I imagine that it's going to have to go to the machine shop to be turned anyways, so I would think they could remove it.

Are you just using the throttle pedal, or is the hand throttle not responsive, either?

That one would he awesome to have, but I'm too far away.

I work in Joplin. Live 15 miles west in Galena, KS. Hollar if you need anything.

Eventually, you start making up uses to justify them. Haha. Used mine as a mobile work platform today. I had loaned out my pole saw and needed to clear some limbs. After I get the hydraulics for the bed going, I'll haul some gravel, etc. But mostly it's just a toy to drive around.

The kind that has a 5 ton.
