I'm putting this m105 bed on my deuce 4x4. I put wood inside them to strengthen them. I wish steeel tube was available the right size...it's not. First picture is beginning with wood and then what I did. An 1 1/2" tube that is 1/8" thick slides down inside (on the second picture). I'm...

How about the smaller 30 gal plastics?

That would be a very long vehicle and to me, the proportions would not look right, although removing an axle has to make it more maneuverable and get a bit better fuel economy. I'm doing similar to my M35A3 deuce...not shortening the frame and making it into 4x4. I positioned the M105 bed from...

Would that be like a Spicer from an 809 series and a T1138 transfer case? That would be a nice combo for a 4x4 818. Is there a TC that is not prone to self destruction while backing in low?

Jeff, are you building a double axle 4 link w/air, 5 ton? I have the bones off my deuce axle (still attached to the trunion, I cut the axle bolts) from the M35A3 4x4 and notice the bottom axle end can simply be turned up.... making all four axle connections from OEM parts AND keeping the same...

It's just a bed, not a trailer. Thanks. Keep us posted on your progress. Just the part from ND to here, N Indiana, is long way. I'm at about the half way point for the NY part. Do you have a chase vehicle?

I've hauled several truck beds using bales of straw in the tracks on those trailers. There is no way that a 1028 should be hauled on one.

I hope you have a flashing light/strobe or something big marking you as a slow vehicle, on both sides up and up high. Cars traveling 80 mph come up on you extremely fast and with something in front of them, may not see you until they pass what they are behind. I wish I could have worked out...

I have a set of A3 wheels and 14.5 tires in the classified. I see another member with $350/rim and mine are ready to go with new oring and Haltek big bore valve stem for $400 x 2.

Got it. My mistake. I had bigger truck in mind also. It looks like a hard job without a torch and even then, fixing the broken off screws, drilling, easy out or ???, is going to be tough. Finish braking the other strap bolts and that yoke will give up it's u-joint. The other end will slip...

Had an international 345 do something similar. I worked the crank by hand with a file and stone to get it smooth (or close) after peeling the bearing off. I reassembled with new bearing to see if everything else was okay (rings, tranny) and that it would be worth rebuilding. About 15 minutes...

"Went to take out the rear driveshaft to do my flywheel replacement.... I am in a parking lot with only a Cresent toolkit." Why would you start a flywheel replacement in a parking lot (not your own I assume) with only a Crescent tool kit?

Or take the u-joint apart. Take off the safety tabs with a sharp chisel and get a wrench or ratchet to take the cup retainers off. Then beat the shaft from one side until the cup (nearly) comes off and then finish it with a pry-tool. Then do the same for the other side and you can free the...

No problem. If I had the horsepower I would use them. I especially like them with a 4x4 809 series....but that is another MV dream. Darn it sucks to be cash poor.

I have drooled over that 818 ever since seeing it. I like the older style body. You could put a fifth wheel camper at the end of the frame and save the bed space.

Did you sell yours?

CNC2013, we have very different needs because I have a dump truck and the A2, with some turbo lag and low settings for fuel and rpm. I'm sure the 250 can be a good candidate for the larger tires, maybe even better than the 8.3T. Now a bobbed 5 ton with 53" and a rear air locker....I'm...

I know what you are saying about it being a mechanical thing because you are not part of it's circuit, you are not the negative aka "ground" of the vehicle. But you could have become part of the circuit if you had the clippers in the right and have your left hand on the vehicle steel. That is...

I was finishing a demo job and until that time, all the electric had been dead. I was in a bucket about 30' up with one hand on a steel truss and the other on my cutters. I got all three phases at once + neutral in one hand and out the other. I've had electricians licence for (edit)45...

Having just built the driveshaft for my deuce, I was told anything more than 2 degree difference of the TC and the differential is too much. Does the rear differential face down to match the engine/tranny/TC angle? I'm glad the M35A3 is parallel to the frame...I used a 2.8 degree block to...
