Dave, great job!!!! I still have a lot to learn from the MASTER. Carry on Commander Warp!!

Looking really good!!!!

Well the parts Fairy felt really bad about taking my bracket and causing me so much trouble. I had a few minutes today to mess with the truck and when I walked up to it low and behold there was that bracket laying on the drum holding up the truck right beside where it needs to be installed...

Those pictures look vagely familiar, Now where have I seen something like that before?????? In a couple days I will be able to see from your work what else I need to do.:beer:

I this case if i have to drill that hole then I will have to diassemble the front bumper again, but I have not tightened any bolts yet so no big deal. My PM box has room now Dave.

I have started putting the puzzle back together. Yesterday I got most of the brackets back on the frame as well as the front bumpers. I am having a little trouble with the front fender brackets. This truck was a non winch truck but came to me with a winch, frame extensions and winch truck...

When mine would not find low range it was a bearing gone bad on the shaft that the shifter operates on. When it went bad a piece of bearing got into the synco and busted it. When it tried to shift to low there were pieces missing on the shaft which did not allow for enough movement to get into...

Thankyou guys very much!! I have a couple friends here who will help keep the farm running while i am laid up. I have helped them in the past and they are up to helping me. The truck is in great shape and will be there waiting when I get better. I hope this surgery will be a great help as I...

Well I have the hood ready for primer again. It had lots of rust pits that had to be filled. I did it with bondo which was a lot of work. My paint dealer did not carry high build epoxy primer which zout told me to use so I did it the hard way. I have spent a lot of time on the tailgate which...

salt6 is correct, g838 is strickly M151 and G503 covers everything. Lots of good info several build threads.

It sounds like you may have a chipped gear tooth on the fifth speed gear. If you can't feel any kind of bump when you hear the clack it may not be to bad and may not cause any more damage. The best thing to do is pull the tranny cover and inspect the gears. You can rotate the shafts and...

no, the size of the nut is 3/4 and you should have no problem removing them with a 1/2 inch pull handle. Or If you have a four way lug wrench that will do it.

Yes there is a cover and it is fairly common for them to fall off. It is in the bottom of the tank. There are several old threads discussing this problem but I am not good with search, maybe you can find them. I think some members were able to re-install the cover and fasten it some way.

Used power packs are quite plentiful and usually reasonable. There is a site devoted to 151,s so do a search and it should popup. I got lucky with my repower. The orginal engine ran but oil fouled one plug quickly. I used to check e-bay often and one day 3 nos A2 engines popped up for sale...

I think it is 3/4 but take that and one bigger and you should be fine. I think you are right on the tire size as I think that is what I ran on mine until I got a deal on NDT.s. I have a Friend that runs a scrapyard and killed many 151,s. He does not have many parts left now but several years...

Its really what you need when you have many small parts to paint. We like to be able to spray for several hours when we paint and with this paint you can apply four coats in the same day. It just requires 30 minutes between coats but you can wait upto 72 hours before you need to scuff it for...

If its sitting on the ground the first thing you need to do is check the underside. These were notorious to rust out and sitting on the ground made it worse. I did have a source for wheels but shipping would be bad from Ga. Do you have any idea how lond it has ben there?? Mine was rusted bad and...

Pictures from the last two days. Floor pan and tool box doors, fenders, transfer case, many small parts and one wheel with the inside painted. All the wheels are done and ready for tires which they will get soon so we can mount them on the frame and start putting it back together. Hope I can...

Made some more progress yesterday and today. Everything is finished painted except the cab, doors and bed and a few other small parts. Had to go buy more paint. This thing should last forever. Maybe can make more progress now, had an epidural shot in my back today, it has been killing me for...

TWM, I am sure your work is every bit as good as mine and probably better. I don't think I deserve Zout's praise but I think he is using phycology to make me do a good job. This truck was in such great shape I wanted to do the best job I could to preserve it for a long time. I think I am doing...
