In terms of art, black is indeed the absence of light. In terms of automotive paint, it's a pigment, therefore a color. :mrgreen: I'll see what I can dig up and post later this evening.

Not sure I completely understand that last comment. Why would he need to give up 4WD for a diesel swap? Maybe I'm just not catching your meaning.

The M706 pattern does exist, I clearly remember seeing it, but it's apparently not in my collection. If I remember right, and there is no real indication other than a gut feeling that I am remembering right, I think I saw the pattern posted on a modeling forum. If anything, modelers are some...

Looks great with the 3 color NATO camouflage. That's exactly how I would do it if I were ever lucky enough to have one. Were you not able to use a V150 pattern?

No, you really will not see much difference and it will take you a long time to recoup your investment in the Milemarker kit. Also note that the Milemarker kit doesn't really "upgrade" the front hubs, it just adds a locking hub that is very similar to what Ford used on some Rangers and Bronco...

Garret, if you want to sell the drop sides that came off that truck, this is the place to do it.

I know next to nothing about GM, lol.

Just to clarify, this is technically incorrect as no D250 has a front axle. A M880, as well as any 4WD Dodge from '72-'93 is a W series and in '76-'77 would be a W200. But yeah, it's just a basic 3/4 ton 4WD, not even the heavy duty model. Civilian W200/W250 models with the D60 front axle are...

To convert a 2WD 727 to a 4WD, you must disassemble both transmissions completely. The tailshaft must be swapped and it's the last thing out the front of the transmission on disassembly. Naturally the 2WD tail housing will have to be swapped for the transfer case adaptor. It's important to...

Sorry but if you post an absolute that is incorrect, someone is bound to come along and correct it or at least call you out on it. This is not to put you down in any way but as a service to people on the forum who may take the statement as truth.

I think if you look that most of all the axles that have blocks on them on road tractors use a drop axle so if the axle were to pivot where the spring mounts to the axle, it's still pivoting close to the spindle centerline. So it's not exactly the same thing as adding blocks to a suspension...

It was possible to get a front D60 in a GM 3/4 ton truck. It was even possible to get a GM 1 ton with a D44 front axle. Dodge is the same way.

Adding or increasing the size of lift blocks are a bad idea no matter what. If the suspension system was designed for a particular size block, fine. Adding them to suspension not designed for them or adding additional lift by increasing the block is a bad idea, especially on the front. In may...

You have to keep in mind that you are comparing a 1/2 ton SUV to a 3/4 ton truck. Naturally the 1/2 ton is going to ride better and the short wheelbase will make it turn much better. Apples and oranges.

It's not up to me to address that problem. Ask the guy who put it up there, lol. :mrgreen:

I give you a bad name? I would think a horse trailer on a HEMTT would give all of us a bad name, lol. And you will note that I didn't say anything bad about anything, I said I already said my piece about it, which if you had the good sense to investigate, you would have realized I said my...

I've already said my piece on that retarded looking horse trailer mounted on the back of the HEMTT. Suffice it to say I said nothing nice about it.

Beware of a guy dealing on Ebay named Jamie (or Jaime) Tepes from Allentown, PA. He has had multiple Ebay accounts but keeps changing them due to them being cancelled or too much bad feedback. Usually has items listed as NOS, new or "surplus" with Mopar boxes in the background as though the...

Ahh, I knew someone here would know exactly who I was talking about, lol. [thumbzup]

There is one person you may try to contact here on these. A fellow by the name of Tom (if I remember right) from Maryland had an M791 that I think he built from other trucks. He may have some insight on putting the expansible body on as I think he took one from another style truck but I may be...
