Perhaps they only used the stamped Dodge emblem tailgates until they ran out of their old stock? To be honest, until I saw yours, I thought all the M880's had the stamped emblem tailgates. And I'm pretty sure they aren't seen on the Civilian Dodges in the latter years of the `70's (now watch...

Did I miss something?

Slick looking tailgate there Bob!! makes one tempted for a moment to consider leaving the truck in the red paint. I would like to note that although this is the correct tailgate for a civy Dodge pickup from the late `70's, it is however incorrect for the M880. Dodge decided to bring back the...

I don't think the Alfaheaven M880's are running the humvee tires on humvee wheels. It looks as though they are running the stock M880 16.5" wheels. These wheels are only 6.75" wide and are way too narrow for these tires, espescially since they are bias ply tires. There are people who have...

Looking very good there. I'm glad it turned out well for you. So is this the Sherwin Williams water based paint you were talking about?

Like id34 said, be sure and get the brackets for mounting the pump to the block. The pedestal that hold the gear box can be reused, but it still may be nice to get that one too.

Welcome to the forum Ross. I like your M880, especially the original paint. Looks good. As far as the power steering swap goes, I did it myself a few years ago. You can take the steering gear box and pump off of any 1/2 ton (W100) or 3/4 ton (W200) forur wheel drive Dodge truck from the...

Thanks guys! I appreciate the comments. The jury is still out on how well I like these tire though. It seems as though they to wander all over the road and they act like square tires (real lumpy ride) until they warm up. Both characteristics of large bias ply tires. Apparently bias ply...

Check it out. I got the humvee tires on it now. What do you think? http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3134&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20 Just scroll down to the pictures part way down the page.

Got my Humvee tires finally mounted last weekend. so what do you all think?

the four colors for the MERDC four color "Winter, U.S. and Europe-Verdant" pattern are: 34079 (forest green) 45% 30118 (field drab) 45% 30277 (sand) 5% 37038 (black) 5% or 37030 (black) 5% I got all these colors from RAPCO parts company in spray cans. However I did NOT like how dark the...

Here's more info than you probably want or even need about the mopar line of small and big block engines: http://www.tommythekrycho.com/mighty1.htm Here's a discussion group I found discussing the 413 and 440 found in motor homes...

here's part of it. Sorry, I've only got one page so far: P.S. These are shrunk down versions of the larger original I've been working off of. The TIF files are about 800KB each page. when I'm completely finished "cleaning up" these files, I can upload them to the forum. As I stated, the...

If the price is right, then sure I'd go for it. BTW, I don't think that engine displacement is correct. It sounds like either a 413 or a 440 coming out of a motor home. This page talks a little bit about the 413/426 Heavy Duty RB Truck Block: http://www.440source.com/blocks.htm

Good point. You can get *most* M880 parts at any auto parts store.

Here's the Winter pattern:

Thanks for the compliment Kenneth. Sadly, the truck is not as "clean" as the pictures make it out to be. There is rust breaking through over the rear wheel wells (more so on the driver side), and on the lower rear corners of the front fenders. I plan on replacing the fenders eventually, but...

Her's some other pics I took that I like better(Field drab looks closer to the true brown that it really is, not orange like in some of the other pics): P.S. I posted a small JPG copy of the MERDC pattern over on the M880 forum if anyone is interested. I've got a full sized TIF format version...

LOL! Thanks for the replys guys! Clinto, yes, this is a `76 440 block, with cylinders milled .030" over, and crank milled .010" over. Kenny, You are correct, double roller timing chain, flat top pistons with a compression height of 1.990" (deck clearance of .092"). 452 head castings with...

Here's a picture of my assembled 440 short block that I am building to put in my M880
