I am no longer getting email notifications about anything I've subscribed to on the site. Have not changed anything and would love to know what happened.

Yes I can get it out of there. Give me a call. 337-401-2470

Negative, was told by the lady there yesterday that the trucks in question were driven to and parked where they are now about two months ago.

And I can help if you come through Louisiana. I won five of those trucks there and am waiting for clearances as well. Just went and picked up a trailer today there and looked over two of my trucks. Not disappointed at all with the condition.

You could just swap in a dual circuit master cylinder, do some brake line plumbing and be done. As far as rim and tire availability just get some adapters man. Sounds like you are setting yourself up to do a bunch of un-needed work.

Yea, disconnect the ctis crap so it doesn't get you killed. I think I may have one truck that it actually works on out of 25 trucks with it. The rest just let the tires go flat as you drive. Good way to get a blowout.

They do have a kill cable. The shutdown solenoids fail all the time.

See, now we know the whole story. That's pretty awesome. Usually when parts are taken at a scrap yard there is no getting them "back". I was just curious as to the nature of what exactly led to that.

Go with the m35 series. They are simple and more reliable than the gasser trucks. Also note that the M211 has twice as many wheel cylinders as the M35 trucks, and thus it will cost twice the money, take twice the maintenance, and twice the headache, and that's just on brakes. Also consider that...

Please explain why you keep saying you are getting parts "Back". I would like to know the story behind this.

Just make one man, expanded metal is cheap enough, and you are obviously a capable fabricator.

Driving habits also will effect lifespan of wear components.

For the record I have not done this yet, but need to. Thought I would select my preferred option from this thread and make one for other new members to reference as well.

More than one way to skin a cat. I'm sure most people just replace worn hinges, but figured I would start a thread to include pictures and part used/ parts sources for this particular project. Pics are a must. Let the chaos begin.

Who needs a drift car when you can drift with armor? That's awesome!

It is easier to swap the case out one time and never have to worry about the quirks/ issues associated with the sprag again. Yes, you still should drain and fill it with fresh fluid sometimes but you end up with a unit that is much more trouble free. The operator shouldn't have to mess with the...

Seems to me that air shift cases are a lot less prone to failure, and if they fail to engage it doesn't always mean removal and tear down. Forgive me for my bias, but I was a transmission and driveline man for years and sprags were always weak links.

Just swap the windshields out. Put the odd one on the passenger side.

If the wiper is hitting the bottom of the frame no matter which side you put it on then I would be led to believe that you either have a wiper arm that is too long, or you are not getting the correct wiper blades.

Yes it will, I just made the swap myself a couple weeks ago. It is a direct swap.
