LOL, your truck looks pretty nice too, fairly complete!

Thank you Jess, sorry I couldn't be more specific. A couple of members here have told me that truck air brake line will work as fuel line, but the guys at my local All-Hose didn't like to hear that (they stand behind what they sell, so I tend to stick with their advice...haven't steered me...

No, sorry, I just removed the hoses & took them to All-Hose here in Las Vegas...they matched them up & made new ones with new ferrules while I waited. The ferrules look to be common 1/4-inch brass ones. Don't forget the internal hose reinforcements at each end: they look like thin brass tubes...

Got the water pump remounted after I de-rusted it and sealed it with Rust Reformer before painting it Khaki. Then I installed TM America's dual alternator kit, and installed the belts. It is a well-designed kit, I really like it, most everything lines right up. I did have to move the primary...

While the radiator & driver's side fender are off, I started mocking up my new dual alternator setup. I have a new 24-volt alternator (27si) and a brand-new 10si 12-volt alternator waiting for this installation, using George's brackets (member name TM America). I'll also be installing new...

I ended up buying some of the tapered square extractors. I tried using one of the screw extractors, but it broke off too. I thought I was really screwed with this. I ended up removing the entire IP, and while it was out I removed the HH (following instructions on other threads) and replaced...

That is very cool, thanks for taking the time to take & post photos for us!!! [thumbzup]

I didn't realize that Scanias were that large...WOW.

Good luck, the Doomsday Preppers have driven up all the prices on Deuces & at the auctions. Be prepared to get your hands dirty, and get to know Vic at NAPA (Civic Center/Cheyenne)...he'll give you a good discount for Deuce parts and I've helped him track down many parts suitable for Deuce use...

Drive safe & best of luck on your trip; don't overdo it!!

Ahhh, thanks Tom! I'll give it a shot in a day or two when I'm working on it again.

While removing the oil lines on the IP today (want to have them replaced with braided stainless lines), I managed to break off the angled brass piece that goes into the engine block. Now it looks like I'll have to remove the whole IP in order to get my extractor set in place. This sucks.

WOW, your truck looks much better with the 395s on her!! Very nice!

NOOOOOOOOOO!! At least the 916 didn't go over (WHEW!!). Glad nobody got hurt.

WOW, nice hard-top! Those are hard to find. VERY NICE work, good job!! While traversing Echo Canyon in Death Valley in early spring of this year, one of our group had a Pinz exactly like yours (hardtop 4x4), but had 37" Goodyear Wranglers...he made the trail look easy of course. I'm amazed...

Amazing...what an incredible sense of accomplishment and pride you are feeling! Congratulations! And thanks for sharing this amazing story with us.

SWEEEET! I've got a 2001 just like yours (extra cab short bed) that I'd like to do something similar, except use a cut-down M105 bed... Very nice, thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks Ron for cleaning up the Classifieds & keeping a close eye on them...they are MUCH easier to use now, your work is noticeable! Good job! [thumbzup]

WOW, what a neat project! Very cool, nice work Sam!! [thumbzup]
