I do a 500' (yes, five hundred feet) zip line in the dunes with mine.

The brakes are made to stop the truck with 10,000 pounds in the bed. They'll stop the truck quicker than you want to unloaded.

Also, the wheel bearings can be adjusted with better feel, without the possibility of the drum dragging on the shoes.

I believe the turbo is the 4LE-354 if I remember correctly. Have one in my '62 parts truck. Thinking about swapping it and the rockers to my '70 driver and adjust the smoke cam, maybe timing. I'd like to do the IP springs eventually too. The LDS exhaust sounds awesome, curious to see what makes...

...also, turbo, and more piston cooling oil squirters, timing, and lower compression pistons, correct? I think it would be good to pin it down in a list and maybe make a sticky, can't read the whole thread every time.

Here is my A1 go-around form a couple years ago. Lots of A1 info. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?136487-Old-mixed-parts-M35-Gasser-VIN-ID-please&highlight=

A1 nerd here. stb64 is another, and David Doyle is the history guru MV vehicle author. Pretty sure it's a '62 Stude A1 updated to A2, maybe after the military. Serial M-55 is close to mine, which is M-59. A1s were '61-'64. Probably not an updated M35 gasser. Pic of dash Data Plate would be nice...

I agree. Plasma would be cheapest but laser or water more accurate. Could probably cut the bolt holes and pilot/locator in the plates close enough with either of the latter. Some cutting tables have milling/drilling/tapping heads to speed up those processes. Cut the pieces out with tabs and...

Oh, I'm sure you'll get it done, no worries there, just noticing its gonna be an accomplishment.

That's gonna be a good trick to manufacture

Lots of our terrain is made of such : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposed_granite

Lots of it is tight for us big trucks, but lots of open and semi-open areas with playgrounds and optional lines...open area not relegated to trails.

I think a separate thread would be a really good idea for future reference. This thread is huge and stuff gets lost.

Im not real familiar with Ocotillo Wells, prefer Superstition. http://www.drivingline.com/articles/more-traction-and-action-at-the-2017-superstition-run/

How about this winter we have a rally down here in the desert and do some terrain that requires 4x4 and 6x6?

It's not a lot of fuel, it's a lot of pressure. If you don't have the injectors on for resistance, there won't be any pressure. The plunger in the middle of the hydraulic head is what pushes the fuel, so that little cylinder full is it.

Maybe some grease on the threads on reassembly. Anti seize might plug stuff up...?

Good vid. Once the injectors are on you should have 3000 psi. If you can't rig up a a gauge, I've read the rule of thumb is the injector out of engine should shoot fuel 3-4 feet. Caution: skin piercing pressure.

No luck yet? Try the member map?

Pressure is only high in the injector lines after the hydraulic head ("fuel distributor")
