I have been following along. I am getting excited about it. I have a parade saturday and I finally fired off my truck after being down nearly 10 months. Funny the Legion hall just called to confirm. I was getting concerned. I have a new clutch, new rear main, head gaskets, valve adjustment...

A big word of warning on RACEMART. A week after the hubs were billed and even delivered Racemart tried to run a much smaller amount on my visa. I protested it and won. Do not buy from Racemart. This is the second time in 6 months a business has attempted to charge a small amount to my card...

I have been trying to to think of a good nickname for him or his truck. Just give me a little more time.:razz:

Well hey Pete, I'm Al. I had the M715. My Mom lived over on F street. She told me about your truck and I ended up finding it and talking with you briefly last year. I really like your M715. Unfortunately Mom died from an asthma attack on Feb 3rd. I have driven by your place a couple times...

Amer-Team, Is your name Pete?

Gimp, your truck looks like a dog looking for a scratch. :mrgreen: Well done man!

I don't know Gimp. But it keeps the heads from cracking. Recovery4x4, My motor was fine except the head gasket and head cracks. I had not planned on anything else. I just did a rear main, all new clutch. I had all the intake and exhaust off a while back. My LTD is a good sound motor. It...

I had a blown head gasket. Removal showed my rear head on my 69 kaiser M35 had cracks in all cylinders. I found two new style heads (they have a valley between the valves verses flat) and found they had a problem. The first one was mouse related. Lots of pee and corrosion in several intake ports...

I just read this entire thread from the start. This is the best build thread I have read RC or full size in quite a while. Wow! Amazing hammer forming in miniature. My last real job was restoring classics for a guy who had a model toy business on the side. Most of them came from china. Brass...

Well shoot. I just found cracks between all three intake and exhaust valves on my rear cylinder head on my 1C turbo motor. Unless I find another I am done already. There has to be one in the PNW?

Good luck Chris. You will make it. I just found a bad cylinder head on mine. Three cylinders cracked. Finding those parts in your oil change now was a good thing. Nothing like a little pre trip pressure. Have fun.

I found they all were expensive. The payoff will be good. I have not had time to do much more than take a picture. They are great big! I have not even had a chance to scan the instructions yet. I'll post up the install. I have a parade on the 3rd and the big PNW camp out up in WA. I wrote a...

I took my injectors in to a performance diesel shop to be tested and balanced. They have not seen the connector or military standard fittings before. I searched and found a person from 2007 that bought ferrules but would not tell where he got them. Where can I get some ferrules to make a test...

I think it will be worth it. When I put hubs on my M715, it made a huge difference in driving on the road. Anything to help pull hills. Yep, they are expensive. Sort of close one eye, grab the wallet and go. Ouch.

I read up last night on the choices for lockouts. While the Overson's are nice I elected to go with the Selectro's for profile reasons. I can see in my terrain here where there is a big potential for dragging hubs in deep ruts. We can't drive in much water here for fish reasons so the water...

Half my engine is in my shop. My parts are sitting calling my name. I have to work darn it. I am getting jazzed about going. Having my truck down for 8 months is going to make me enjoy this even more. I'm starting to count the days. :jumpin: I need a spring ride seat.

And my gasket set showed up yesterday! Whoo hoo!

Wow, how could you not? This is quite an endeavor. Thanks for putting all the effort into this.

I got a call from the Aloha legion hall today. The pres was wondering if I wanted to be in the really big parade through Beaverton again this year. Absolutely I replied. I asked if I could invite a few friends. Yes was the answer. This is the big one with tens of thousands of spectators. Feel...

If there is a request for some I can. But I am finding that time is precious. Between getting my moms house empty and sold and trying to fix all my junk, I am not sure if I will have time to make them. Everything changed after she died. My gall bladder is complaining also. I may need surgery...
