I'll be posting a rust free 1968 W/W today. It has a lot of stuff and is turnkey. I want 6500.00 for it. Thanks.

What a neat truck. RAM RC products makes a diesel sound system. Here is the gas sound bite. http://www.ramrcandramtrack.com/ramdemos/ram38/ram_38demo.html They have a few others as well. I'm building a Jeep detail body for an Axial Scorpion lights, canoe, gear and all. Anybody here into RC...

Another local MV nut. Cool.:-D I'm down on the river in Scappoose. There are two dueces in town here not including mine. Do any of you OR guys participate in any of the Parades in Hillsboro or Beaverton? Shamefully I have not been on SS since 7/07. Wow the site has changed. It's awesome...

I bought my 68 M715 from Jack about 6 years ago. I spent 2 days looking for the right one. I can see that he has cleaned up his yards a lot. He has also expanded big time!! When I was there, there were only 3 five acre lots chock full of stuff. Jack and Josh are great folks. I drove my...

Great info you guys. Thanks. I know I have a few minor leaks here and there. Some wetness around the dipstick tube, some minor weeping from the front head gasket. I'm going to degrease everything and see about making it better. I think a catch cup would be a good idea since I have so much...

Red devils dude, The sound is not always there. It is definately a deeper sound that I could compare to a V-8 knock. It seems to be present under load and seems to quiet down as I let off the go pedal. The noise does not overpower the great sound of the diesel but is faint enough to make you...

Greetings all. Glad to be back. EDIT: It's a 1969 M35A2 with turbo. Engine rebuilt in 1989 using all STD bearings and clearances. I have a vacation in June and I want to drive my duece there (4+hours one way) I have noticed alot of oil coming out of my crank case vent pipe. It's...

So where do you find the stuff with the dye in it? I was told by Judith at NLR to buy canvak from cabela's. I tried it and was pleased. No leaks but it is also clear with no dye. I would prefer to renew the color too.

Thanks for posting that. I hope to dive into it soon. It's bugging me not haveing a truck that is 100%.

rdixiemiller, LMAO!!!!! And Dave, Big ditto!

Thanks Dave. I did look at the links. I want try what was mentioned this weekend. I was getting into it last night , then the girlfriend showed up. She looked like alot more fun so once again the truck waits for me. LOL.

I tried something last night. I pulled the trailer service gladhand cover off and mixed some soapy water up to see if it made a bubble while running. As far as I understand there should be NO pressure there until the brakes are applied. Well, I had quite a noticeable bit of flow at idle. So...

Cranetruck, I just reread your post. Do you mean open the gladhand trailer connection port at the back frame crossmember? I think thats what you mean. I guess that would be an easy way to tell if it had pressure. I just want to make sure I understand you correctly. So if there is any...

Thanks guys. I drove it again last night. The brakes take several seconds to release. I changed it from dot 3 to silicone dot 5 which is the reason for the rebuilding of all components. I think it is the master cylinder. I'll pick up a kit and go through it again. Probably need brake shoes...

Drove my Duece in a parade on Monday. On the way home (20 miles) my brakes started dragging. I forgot my temp gun but the hottest drum was the passenger rear. I could touch all the others. Got home and the rear pass wheel was smoking from brake drag. I cracked the bleeder and about 3/4 cup...

I bought a 5 ton cover (vinyl) and with some careful measuring and cutting I was able to use a very strong flexible industrial contact cement to glue one of the ends back on successfully making a 2.5 ton cover that looks great. I did a very thorough write up with pics on it here at SS. So far...

I really like the setup. I stopped at the metal yard to price materials for ramps yesterday. I have a little CJ I want to do the same thing with. A word of caution. When you tie your trail rig down by attaching above the suspension, you risk breaking your tie downs and loosing your load. Read...

There are two styles of clutches. Be sure you find out what you have first. I bought mine from saturn and was pleased. I used an engine crane with a motor load leveler. Piece of cake... Check all driveline bolts too. Mine were finger loose on the yokes.

Be very wary of NOS canvas. I hear they can get dryrot and come apart in a breeze like on the freeway.

I have lots of evidence. I realize I need to let it go. I start thinking about it here and there and it make me twitch I get so fired up. It's not doing me any good to get so mad. It just takes me a day or so to realize 70.00 bucks lost was getting off easy.. One of the guys on the Zone got...
