I put in a want ad in the classifieds. Anyone got one? Thanks Chuck

It all started with me just wanting to replace the rusted out Driver's side fender. I then just decided to do the whole truck. I still need to do some misc patching hear and there but I figure I can just touch it up. I will also need to mask off the interior and paint it this weekend.

The title lists a 1961 Ford but I think it is more likely a late 60's A1. It is rough but came with a lot of parts. I will try to start it later this week and when I am sure the mechanicals are working I am going to tear it all apart and start the rot repair on the tub. The price was cheap so I...

Anyone know if the Lansing Michigan site has a forklift? I have to pick up an M146 sitting on the ground with no landing leg support. I need to get it up high enough to hook it up to my M818. I can use a high lift jack to lift it little by little but I was hoping they could lift the front with...

Lansing is just too close for me. I got the M146 on the ground to use for a storage shed and the other M146 will be made into an RV for events. I also got the M101 for regular towing duties. I just have to figure out why the bed is facing North East while the frame is facing North. It does not...

My 818 has a class II leak from the front main seal and the accessory drive seal on the front cover of the engine. Can these be changed with the cover left on the engine and the engine in the truck? Anyone done this job before on the front? Input please. Thanks Chuck

I finally got around to working on my fuel tank. I asked about tapping for a fuel heater in a separate thread. I now have found out that the tank side of the fitting will accept a 3/8 metal line. I know that the pickup tube does not go all the way to the bottom so the heater will get clean fuel...

I reconnected the drive shafts yesterday and decided to drive around to my mother's house. She is two doors down the street. The brake pedal was real low and mushy. I noticed it when I moved the truck to hook up the tow bar. The brakes were an on or off affair going back and forth. The ground is...

I got a tow bar from a guy in FL a while back. It has the multi adapters that have the 3/4 and the 1 inch holes on one adapter. I got the MWO kit to reinforce the bar. That is when I noticed that my bar is smaller in diameter than the MWO kit is built for. The bar is adjustable The smaller part...
