    440 Dodge w/727 Deuce

    What years are we talking, Rizzo? There are a few oddities in the Motorhome engines with the cooling systems, but I'd need a year model to get anything specific.

    440 Dodge w/727 Deuce

    Part number 53009180AB is $13.00 List at the dealer per Mopar's pricing. If you guys need any Mopar part related info, let me know as I'm sitting here in the Parts Dept all day long anyway, lol.

    440 Dodge w/727 Deuce

    Yeah, those are pretty short also. Should be any automatic 4WD truck from the mid 60s to 1974.

    Here is my rather long winded introduction and story

    Congrats and welcome. I'm kinda digging that camo pattern, it's different and yet still authentic. Looks like some of the Euro camo.

    440 Dodge w/727 Deuce

    Headers would solve the manifold issue. A B series engine would also not be as wide. There are short tailshaft versions of the 727, but good luck finding one for a big block as they are rare. Might be worth it to swipe one out of a old aircraft tug and swap the tailshaft and housing. You...

    Some pics of the trucks is my family

    Use a photo editing program, the same one you used to re-size should work, and when you are done with the pic, click "File", then "Save As" and below where you type in the file name there should be a drop down menu that will list several file formats. You want the one labeled JPEG or .jpg.

    Diablo Build Update (pics)

    You going to keep the old style lamps or are you going with the newer style or LEDs? Also, I notice the rims are unpainted. Are you going to run the stock ones or get something else? Nice work, I am extremely jealous of your skills, resources, and most of all, time! Lol.

    Lockers, spools, open?

    Also with a spool, there is no way to relieve the stress of turning except for tire slip, which builds up stress and releases it suddenly only to build it back up again. This really fatigues the axle shafts and joints and will almost always eventually lead to a failure. The rock crawlers are...

    Trailer built from deuce frame??

    What the hell was Tom doing in Florida? MV related or playing with his Viper?

    M35 Bed Spot Light

    Hmm, that's damn big for a spotlamp. I wonder if it's not part of a gun turret frame?

    Pershing Missile haulers

    Granted you would have a lot more cargo capacity, but would the crane boom be long enough to service even a 28' trailer? And would the fuel and maintenance costs of the larger 5 ton make swapping everything off the Deuce feasible? I like the idea, but I'm wondering if the added cargo space...

    Data Plate spelled wrong!!??

    Hmmm, I've seen a few stamped wrong, but never seen one that was printed wrong from the start, lol.

    Deuce Pics at Pima County Air Museum

    Is it just me or are there a few details off on that M211?

    elmo looks a little less elmo now?

    Hmmm, I'm curious, why the need for a back window? There's no rearview mirror, and it's probably too high up to see much. I'm used to driving truck with a sleeper, so no back window is normal to me. In my pickups the backlight is normally tinted so dark it might as well not be there anyway...

    M45 Compressor truck

    I agree with Chris, after doing the fiberglass bit once, I'll never do it again. If you could keep it all sealed and dry it would be ok, but that's near impossible and before long it has eat out all the metal around the fiberglass and there's nothing to hold it in. Especially with a MV that...

    Abusing the Equipment

    How about the front winch? Might be easier to pull from the side rather than straight up. I assume you would have to break off the center root (depending on the tree) and that might be hard to pull it apart upwards. Might be hard on the sheer pin though. Only experience I have with stump...

    Taking the 5-ton CARCRUSHING!!!!

    I don't know. The fact that I sometimes have redneck tendencies sort of lets me relate to this and see the humor and cool factor, but I do have to admit that technically this was probably illegal in the eyes of authority and if you were caught doing it it would look bad on you and possibly the...

    Stuff on my truck

    I think Bjorn uses a similar setup on his Cranetruck and likes it.

    M36A2 QUESTIONS FROM A NEWBIE

    Could not a 5 ton Cargo be used for the same purpose since they have a bed longer than a M35? Sure, there are more restrictions to owning a 5 ton as compared to a Deuce but they are much easier to come by than a M36 and have power steering, available Cummins engine and more tire and rim...

    Alarm Install Question

    I don't believe that is an electrical switch. I think that is the release for the seatbelts so they will retract when the door is opened. The door jamb switch should be in the hinge area and should look something like this:
