The dodge dakota's and chevy cheyenes we sold from the u.s. military were allways converted to have side turn signals. we found that under the side reflectors was enough spacing to allow a bulb holder to fit easily, and simply ran a duplicate wire to those lights from each of the front turn...

With all the buddies on this site (and in your area?) It would be (very) wise to perhaps have someone "in the know" accompany you to view / drive / purchase. (especially after comments bordering on warnings (Caveat emptor))Etc. Etc.

Some pictures would have been nice...how many cylinders do those engines have?..(and) I sp'ose a gallon of fuel won't last too long!

You will so Adopt the truck(s) you choose..and it (they) will become a big part of your life...Save..choose..enjoy..and welcome to the craze.

There is no advantage to changing it to 12 volt. And it is really nice when you have completely orriginal unit.

Nice catch..Thats a fine truck.I was going to get one, but I do like my M62 and it is multifuel...

P.S. Any chance of "story" as to how you obtained the acmat and where it is located now?We really look forward to seeing any pictures of our old ACMAT again. There were quite a few at the war and peace show.

Small world..I hope you enjoy that truck more than I did..It was impressive looking but I found it rather cumbersome for the size, even with the power steer etc. I did think it would be a big improvement with a big 6 or V8 petrol. If I had kept it I would have put the allmost new V8 deisel F350...

Acmat Had one of those found it noisy and too much vibration and rather slow for long journeys. (more than a deuce) They have the 6 cylinder perkins direct injection deisel, some slighter better ones are turboed. (and they will tolerate a contam mix) They are based closely on Dodge running...

Seen that happen a time or two when 24 Volts is (tried) into 12 Volts.

The short (and only) answer is you WILL do damage to the sprag clucth mechanism. In our club We have a few deuces with no front wheel drive deu to (having had ) this happen , And also probably when they were used setting off in second or third from reverse. Another BAD practice.

Well done and welcome to the craze..nothing like starting "large"

Thank you kindly for that offer..and I will gratefully accept it next time we need parts. It has new heater plugs new timer and relay (now bypassed!) Side steps wheel arch flares , additional lights..I think it looks better now for it. thanks to everyone that took time out to contribute to my...

This problem is now Resolved, and the cure..after pondering in a late night dream!..WHY does the engine "go out" after 5 seconds every time? The consistant factor was (is) the timer delay relay AND my attempts to start it using (aproximately) the same timing with a bypassed timer. For first time...

Hmm..Big Trucks Big responabilities. glad your safe.

That is a very nice truck and should be kept orriginal. I want to add one of those to my collection....soon (er than later!)
