RE: continental vs. cummins .... 5 ton vs. deuce for fire t CUMMINS ALL THE WAY. That would be either a 220 or 250 or some were in there, either way its an 855. That motor is still used today. I would say one of the best on the road, simpler that a cat. Might not last as long but cheaper to...

well as long as you didnt go and cut the back axle off you need this! What I have is pile of parts that will make your life much easier and cheaper. We are all familiar with the horrable axle bind that comes from driving any M-44 seires truck down the pavement. Some people remove the rear drive...

Hey are there any bearings at all in it? Readyman needs a couple, he might buy the parts one from you If you figure out how to lube the dang things let me know, I got one that probably hasnt been lubed since day one.

Hey, i kinda missed it again! They will FIT with out a lift, however you probably wont have much movement. 3 inches will do it. I ran just 3 inches of suspension lift to start. then i added 3 inches of box lift so the rear would work all the way. Next when i did the motor swap i added 3 inches...

Lock outs on the back are the only way to fly if you got the cash. It is knda like organizing your tool box. You can get by just fine with out it and do the same job with out it but after its all nice and orderly you wonder why and the heck you fought it for so long. If your like me, you have...

HOW THAT is how to do things! I gotta get me one a them! I wish the semi-auto M2's were not so high priced I have heard even with the extra parts it aint a good deal, What would happen if you mounted it to the truck frame, after all its like 500 ponds of stuff or more. I would kina think the...

Hey, does any one know who has the rubber seal that goes between the cab/hard top/and roof section? How about the rubbers that the windows seal on? Cant seem to find anyone that has them

RE: Re: rules of thumb... Hey man i know jsut how you feel. I too try hard for what i call the "factory" look. I guess im not so big on it lookin military simply because most of the people i hang out with have no idea what it should look like anyway. It is very hard to balance...

advantages? One mans garbage is another mans gold. Hmm that is a good idea but wouldnt you want "good" memory? like so it comes back?

RE: no room... Hey, as for the ac part, could you mount the condenser (er maybe, the one that makes heat) some where else and stick a fan on it? Kinda like the retro fit kit they stick on everything. Maybe that would free up some space and add invaluable cooling for the motor. I see the PS...

nice...I am in

what affect would it have on the spring if you cut the top and sides off the box they are stuck in? I would proably just make the thing twice as wide so the axle couldnt fall when your air born. move the bottoming stop a little to make room. All of the fancey off road suspensions run either...

Hey, im with you on the bar idea, It would make it a much better set up at higher speeds. Just cut the little box off that the leaf spring is stuck in so the leaf spring sets on the axle, vwala no problems just 5 min with a cut off wheel.

I have a 613 layin here with the right bell and input shaft so you can use your clutch and flywheel if some one is interested. just ditch the adapter ring and slap it on

hey hey nice PS gear box! If it makes you feel any better about chopping the top of the web off the frame front, almost every new truck I look at has the front couple feet of the top rail chopped off.

Hey if you need any more ideas, how about taking a cheap dana 44 front or the like, cut the tube off on one side, on the other remove the axle tube from the "C" via the spot or ring of weld in the lathe. THEN just stick the pipe in the next. Just remove the center section more or less and rotate...

HOLLY COW 1300 for a horn? Sounded like a good idea at first. I think i will stick with my 165 dollar IOWA-80 Trucker train horn. You should see peope when they figure out that all the noice is from an army truck. My personal favorite is when people see me around town they tell me "I thought...

RE: Re: RE: tgrailer You beat me to it again. My plans was to build air ride suspension for the truck and take my rear set up for 16's and do the same thing. Once again genious minds think alike! I like the idea that your trailer has a pintle hitch too, this could be never ending. How big is...

Hey I see you guys were in Iowa! is randy that potato farmer on highway 35?

Man i love those stiff legs on the back....at least he can use all the power of the winches, the last time i looked at my 5T wrecker i was thinkin it needed those is one was ever going to use it for recovery
