Just a guess, but might start by looking at the alternator/alternator belt first. If there is heavy load(like charging the batteries) applied while the truck is running, the belt might slip, squealing as it does. When you turn off the ignition and it takes the load away the alternators...

I didn't get to go out and play, but did take a quick picture.

The manufacturer line looks like it says IHC, which would be International Harvester Company.

I'm curious, as well. Mine is titled as a 1952 Mack.

Don't know if this will help, but here's a snorkel setup on a suburban, which is about the same. Might require some adjustments for your application. https://ck5.com/forums/resources/snorkel-install-73-91-square-body.37/ And, of course, you'll need to address all of the other systems...

It can be painted with rattlecans, but it takes a whole lot of them.

I'm sure the dually would pull it. The issue is stopping it. Just like a heavy trailer without brakes, it will push the truck around. You might see if there are any members locally with a truck and a tow bar to flat tow it. As far as the brakes on the dump, they are an air over hydraulic...

They were. Looks pretty cool, in my opinion. EDIT: I guess that actually an m817, but same bed.

When going from neutral to 1st or neutral to reverse on my m51 I can hear the transfer case shift the sprag in the appropriate direction. Makes a thunk when it does. I've never done it with the air system pressurized without the engine running, but don't know why it wouldn't work.

These are the flaps on a 929 bed that I have. They have a hook to hold the bottom of the flap up.

I don't think I would panic, if I were you, but I probably wouldn't run any more of it through my truck.

Seems a shame. I just need the dump parts out of it.

Welcome from next door in southeast Kansas.

Awesome. Glad to hear that.

I had to replace the shaft in mine earlier this year, but I don't remember having any issues like you describe. Where does it seem to be binding? At the bolts, like they aren't aligned? Could be paint too thick in the bolt holes making it tough to keep the bolts in line.

Those "things" are axle clamps for the tow bar. They wrap around the axle and the tow bar attaches to them.

Did the oil seem thin or smell like diesel? Assuming that it wasn't just overfilled, the injectors could be leaking fuel into the cylinders. This can cause the cylinder walls/rings to get washed down. The lack of oil would then lead to piston/cylinders wear. Also, the diesel will thin out...

https://www.gearvendors.com/index.html At one point, I was looking at doing a similar build to what you are. I found the gear vendor's unit that looked promising, but never got much farther on the concept. They claim to be good for up to 2000 hp engines and for 25,000 pound rvs. Would need...
