I picked up most the parts today. The engine was already missing the exhaust manifold, Jake heads, injection pump, and injectors. I came home with these pieces: I'm now wondering if the intake & crossover pipe will fit under the stock hood of my 813 - does anyone know? A few shots of the...

Or does anyone have contact info for him? I would love to talk Studebakers with that guy...

Good to know. If the BCII 300 has jakes are they compatible?

It is very tempting to take an entire engine, especially the 444, but my 813 will just get driven around empty and a turbo would mostly be for fun, loud noises, and to compensate for larger tires when that happens.

It sounds like the engine is shot. It's out of a Kenworth dump truck that lead a pretty hard life

I met a guy who has an '82 Big Cam II 300 and he said I can take whatever I need off of the engine. I'm planning on grabbing the turbo, exhaust manifold, crossover air pipe, cross over coolant plumbing, after-cooler intake, and maybe even the injection pump. His brother also has a Big Cam ...

Running them dualled would look really good but if it's too wide that would scratch that idea. I was hoping dualled would work. I've only seen one truck running them singled and even though it looked nice, there are a lot of other competing tire choices in that arena...

Does putting 1400-20s on my 813 require different wheels? I know the bridge trucks use spacers but I don't know if they have unique wheels. The last post in the thread below says too wide but is that the tire or the overall legal width of the truck that he is referring to...

Oops. My phone hiccupped

I really enjoy looking at these two photos...

Good memories seeing that video. Thanks! I grew up in that town (Moses Lake, WA) and used to drive by the county fire station's main shop everyday on the way to school. Back then (mid to late 90's) they would have M813s and M814s sitting in their yard still camo'd waiting for the fire...

After 4 days of hand stitching I got my back window zipper sewn back in place. It took 2 passes with a single needle saddle stitch and lots of industrial strength thread. It was actually somewhat therapeutic. Maybe I should join up with the quiltin' grannies down at the stitch-n-bitch...

Do you happen to know the history of your truck and who/where it was assigned to? I found another dragon on the front of my passenger fender...

Did you start with the simple stuff like activating the brake lights on the light master switch? I've forgotten that a few times.

I wouldn't be opposed to making more of these things for other folks that would like one. Sure makes the job go pretty easy. I may post a separate thread to gauge how much interest there might be...

For those that haven't heard that before, CDO is just OCD but in alphabetical order so there's kinda a built-in pun in there...haha

I got the leaky front wheel cylinder replaced today and that is a decent size job! I was inspired by another member, MyothersanM1 perhaps, who made a hub removal fixture out of a spare wheel cut in half so I designed up a similar fixture at work and lasered it out. It attaches to the floor...
