"The rebuilder said he found broken springs in the OD section and worn out bands and clutchs through out. He told me though that the TC was fine and did not need replaced. So he fixed everything and put the tranny back in and added an external cooler and bypassed the factory cooler."...

Howdy from Texas.

you should get it if you can. Otherwise it will languish as a rusted monument.

could be a bunch of bad connections, but they are easily fixed.

Is that what that meant? He is taking it to the yard. No user "k" here. -> O.P. : Can you correct that message, re-send and stand by? In the meantime, use a digital meter if you have one, and with the truck having run for 10 min. or so, check the 14V at the batteries with: 1. lights off 2...

He has the rear shaft out. Weren't some things eventually broken doing that?

well that's spectacular. Especially going to ikea in it.

mine is a hole I try to fill up with money. I plan to use it for business.

The allison would, outside of aircraft use, have been better used to build a custom loooong nosed roadster or truck, where it could live on for decades. Sadly those tractor pulls end up destroying otherwise good engines. I am sad to see the 5T front unceremoniously flipped over ruining the...

I like the idea. It would also help protect the bottom of the radiator. don't block too much air from the radiator with the toolbox though. A build called Diabolo put diamondplate in the gaps between the bumper ends and the fenders I think.

when you get that a/c in there, be sure to post up some detailed pics especially the compressor situation! it's what we are all waiting for and we will be your best friends too!

I'd ditch what is not functional. first the nose ring, then the bull horns (unless they cleverly are air horns and/or shoot flames out) and then the fake intake. The color scheme is OK and the paint looks well done but red is not my color.

fogging oil?

naw just throw them in the big house near Chester so 54Reo can laugh at them.

The A3 is hard to get and pretty rare. I would not bob it, but would have rebuilt and bobbed an A2. However, your truck and $$ to spend. Keep the pics coming, make it special, really special, if you do bob it, so it is not just another bobbed deuce, considering it is the A3. For an doing that...

I've got Goodyear 16.00x20's and the steering is very touchy, and bumps make the truck change direction a little. The advice was to check the caster. I have not done this yet, too dang hot.. In my case it will have to be done at a shop as I don';t have the big tools necessary to mess with this...

KOAs are inexpensive and fun. Get a kozy kabin. Plus, no one there will mess with your stuff.

I'm glad it's running. I guess it's been debugged at this time. Alternate replacement engines that fit that truck cost more than the truck.

That is a fine start. If you can get past the idea of never standing all the way up, an S-250 is low enough to easily stow or mount the mast/tower to its roof. If you can lay it on the top, hinged in place with reinforcing plates to spread the load, then it could be stood up (& cranked up?) for...

JBweld.. For 6M, you ought to be able to turn the knob to select the best match. It still might not be very good.
