Since you guys like seeing pictures like I do, I thought I would post some pics of the truck I am working on right now. Its another crew cab I am putting full air ride front and rear and air ride Bostrom seats with 16.00-R20's.

Also these have a clutch pedal start switch on them meaning the clutch pedal has to be down to start, check that also.

Check the relays on the firewall, out of the 13 I had this summer, about 10 of them had bad relays from water getting in them. Sometimes you can wiggle them and get them to work.

Another great thead as always, we always need more info

Guys, got a M813A1 5 ton in the shop with no front wheel drive going forward. It does not have the air woosh sound when going into forward gears. I have good air pressure coming out of the detent valves with the lines unhooked, they work fine in forward and reverse. I also have a good seal on...

There is 2 more crew cab builds on here by me, do a search. I try to paint most off my trucks to the military camo pattern. I use Gilispe paint that Rapco has, but the spray cans are not much good, they are to thin. They are only good for touch up. I spray hundreds on gallions of there paint...

I paint the black and brown free hand with no stencils and with a small touch up gun. It takes some pratice like anything else. Brown first than the black, keep the pressure low and watch where your overspray is going. If you search around here you will find some other methods of doing it I am sure.

stock 12.00-24 on rear, and new 395/85R20 XZL on the front, they are the same height. Yes they have the same platform. My beds have 54" tall sides. I think the 917's have 36" tall sides.

I hate to high jack this thread, but since you guys love these pics here is the last 2 M920's I did with brand new 16' beds on them with a 2 way tail gate. These make great dump trucks, I have another new bed being made for another build. Check out the dump truck section in my website below for...

Never did, I built it in the winter time.

Bobbed trucks will not go nearly as well as a 6x6. Weight will make a big diffrence. Lockers are great in the rear only with weight. A front locker works really well also. I have put ARB's and Detroits in. ARB's are nice, but you have more cost and more moving parts. Detroits are simple, but...

A little play is normal thats what the pilot bushing is for.

I have a 52 Studabaker with winch in the yard that is in the A2 setup with turbo multi fuel and air shift transfer case. Just hate to cut it up in a bobber

is that the connersville unit

Here is the last one I just done for a customer

Time to try the new XZl's, :p you should be fine with tubes, I would move it to the back, you don't want a blow out on a 13,500lb truck on the front steering axle

Nice work, most people don't have an idea how much time it takes to do one right

The correct pins are aluminum, and yes they are out of a stronger alloy than normal. I sell ones made out of the correct same material as the original ones, not you normal grade, those will break even easier. Strenght will depend on what type of alluminum you have, but they will still break...

Most of the ones I have seen in the A2's use a push button start switch just like the one you start your A2 with for the contact switch at the brake handle and a dash light for the warning light. Simple set up I do have the switches and lights new in stock
