Arno, I did not see an introduction from you so Welcome to Steel Soldiers from Colorado. Fuel Filters--glad it was a relatively simple fix.

I think those are great looking trucks. Good job! Welcome from Colorado. I would imagine someone probably used a rebuild date rather than the original manufacture date on the data tag.

True story. When you need it you need it. It would be nice to have ready access or storage for tons of various hardware but reality has a way of trimming back your options. Storage costs, searching, returning, taking back getting refunds costs. I say try to put it behind you and not beat...

excellent! Love to see some vids or pics You have done a heck of a lot of work. I bet you have a smile on your face or you should!

Not sure what your thoughts on the subject are, but that seems like a temporary fix at best to me. I presume it must have rusted completely through for someone to try this as a fix. Is the rest of the cab solid? door bottoms not rusted through? I am sure Florida is mighty rough on exposed...

Hope you took some pics. Looks like you came a pretty long way. Would love to do this in my M275 some day

You might want to double check the hood and roof as there are replacements for the metal ones that are fiberglass. That might be what you have already.

Were the old lines capped or taped to prevent critters and debris from getting in to them? Not knowing how long the old pump was off. If not you may want to take them down and blow them/flush them out. Of course you have probably thought of that though. If you were not lucky enough to get...

That is one nice looking dodge!. Love the flat bed. Are those super swampers on it?

Welcome from Colorado. I would like to see your log trailer when your done. What sort of capacity does it have?

it would appear that you added a turbo to the engine and made a rather large reduction in emmissions. Good job. Details on the turbo etc?

Please preserve it. I always thought these were awesome and unique vehicles. Lots of expertise here on SS to help you thru the project. You don't have to take a big bite financially all at once. The restore can be done slowly. Very worthwhile. Best of luck and keep us posted as to what you...

As for the sprag vs air shift TC--For me the sprag is cool as it is kind of like an automatic 6 wheel drive when needed. you don't have to do anything. the downside is that it can be tricky to keep in proper working order. in my mind there is a question you get when your tires are losing...

I agree. I think my A2 (66' K-J) must have some reused gas parts at least as far as the shifter goes. rubs a little on the high low lever in 1st high but clears the dash fine otherwise. gets closer in reverse but no contact. all in all pretty comfy to use with out having to shift body position.

air shift install Thanks Clinto! Sounds like air brake line might be a better option than copper tubing. If I understand it is a metal material or did I misunderstand? 3/8" dia ? I assume a small hand operated tubing bender would work with it. Pat

Thanks Good with Wood. Looks like you are "rolling your own" so to speak regarding the parts to hook up the TC. I appreciate your feedback. Pat

I have seen a couple different "kits" on the popular auction site you likely speak of. One looks to be a kit to rebuild the inerds of the TC internal air switch side. While the other one I was hesitant about because I could not for certain see the under dash switch. Any chance you could clue...

Thanks to OP for starting this thread. I am going to be doing the same thing. Convert sprague to air shift. I don't want to hijack the thread but is there a conversion kit with the hard parts? have the TC just need the bits and pieces. Perhaps the OP picked one up for this project.

I suppose its true what they say," behind every good man is a good woman", especially if the man is in the truck that is pulling that trailer. Think Desi and Lucy in The Long Long Trailer. posted with a smile and kind heart.

Nice re-purpose on the HEMAT. Pretty stout trailer.
