In stumbling into some of the things I have with my truck and seeing Kenny loose that line with my truck in tow. I don't see how anyone could "responsibly" buy one of these and not go through the braking system before putting it on the road. I don't mean "look" at it... tear it down and rebuild...

Well... Its like this... it was not worth it to him...
When he goes and buys a shop... a deuce... tools... equipment... gains the required mechanical aptitude... figures out how to do the job... craps the time out required to do the build...
Yep... the rubber band factory in the back my head keeps saying the same thing over and over... Scrap these steel "going to rust no matter what I do" doors and start over by fabbing new ones outta aluminum... Im thinking the average 2 year old with a square a slide ruler could have designed...
Ah yeah... I took the weekend off... No one faint or anything lol!!! Went to play redneck in the woods... A few outta "season" thingo's may have had some difficulty in maintaining vital signs... Wish it would been for longer!!! and no grief... 2nd weekend off in 3 months of this truck!!!!

RE: Opinions on value of this bobbed duece
If I listed mine out in $ like that I would prolly faint... I don't even wanna know what I am spending on it but it would take at least 4X the amount BWB is asking to even get my attention to start haggling about a price.
Some would scoff at money...
Hood hinges like this??? *snicker*
I have a TA writen on this with the PN's and drill sizes... but errr ummm... Our leader *NUDGE KICK NUDGE* is working out how to allow me to post the TA's with pics like the one with the fuel filter mod.
PM me your emails and I will send it to you...
Thus far the door hinge mod Ken mentioned has been the best bet on getting sooth functional hinges that last and are 100% repairable...
I have a TA I can email you on doing the job if you would like....
Napa stores also have a kit you can buy (PN 4077 in the filter book)... Its a sample bottle and paperwork to be filled out and mailed into the lab and your paying for the test by purchasing the kit so there is no additional billing involved... Might be a little easier for some of us to find than...
look in the tech article section, I did one for changing the primary to a spin on filter... Check and make sure you have not accidentally installed a new gasket over top of an old one, its a common mistake and causes leaks as your describing.
As for fuel... I THINK so but I have not messed with the system enough to say for sure. Everything I have dismantled or assembled has been on the pipe (threads) adapter sides of the fittings... A quick test would be to unthread a fitting and try one of the air fittings before installing them...
I am not sure about McMaster but I do know NAPA carries them in their Weatherhead "Brass and Steel Fittings" Master catalog under "air brake" copper tubing. To spare some agony let me see if I can list the needed parts out.
If you have the fitting(s) shown in the picture attached to the...
Yeah the whole assy unbolts right off of the side... Acts as part of the lifter covers... You would have to hunt down some civilian parts to remove it and or make some adapters up plus you loose your oil cooler in the process. It also houses one or two of the relief valves for the system so you...

You guys are gonna make me drive slow aint ya???
Not to be the wet blanket here but the thread has kinda been hijacked from what Mike was asking... Which is a fairly important bit of questions...
How many of us are going?, how many wish to be parked as a...
