So I've hung the second fuel tank and am now working on the plumbing and wiring. I've been stumped for the past few days on the issue of powering the fuel pumps alternatingly. I initially thought to power them off the mains from the cab and split the feed to the right side pump so I could power...
So I started in on the converting my M35 to singles. I'm stuck now because I need to get the brakes relined on the shoes. I put a dial caliper on them and they're right at and under .3".
I had a hub put back together and Clint asked about brake shoe thickness and I checked it in the inspection...
Several of us are looking at going down to Shirley's surplus on the 9th. I went down today and looked around. Lots of parts on trucks. LOTS of winch trucks and disassembled trucks in various stages. I think I want to pick up a few tires from James so I have some spares. He had a few very good...

So, I picked up a set of tank hangers from Joel (BFR, Thanks Joel!) this weekend and now have the major components I need for a second fuel tank. I need to figure out where to put the spare. In the bed would be one place but I'm not a big guy 150 lbs and hefting that up there in the dark by...

I think I have a source of bio-diesel feed stock. One of my local indian restaurants has to pay for their WVO to be picked up. I need to get my processing equipment, but I've got a source of stock.
Ok, I have a shorted cell in one of my 2 Batteries.
Should I go with Optimas or the standard 6TLs? I can get the local batteries plus to match the $130 for 6TL's from Interstate.
I saw this on e-bay. It's a pup/wagon trailer. Green even. Looks MV compatible.
