Not much to add today. Here is the shifter I'm using with the NP205. I installed new rails that allow the twin stick features. http://jb-custom-fabrication.myshopify.com/collections/cable-shifters-cable-shifter-components/products/copy-of-cable-shifter-double-gm-np-205-buggy-style Each shifter...

Do we have to open the TM to link it? I keep all my TMs saved locally. With my deep woods internet connection, opening TMs from the site is time consuming?

My thought on TMs not as a moderator but as a member. Perhaps we would better serve our fellow man if we guided them to the right TM and what to look for. I say this in regards to the -20 and -30 manuals. I do not think anyone on this site should be exempt from reading and knowing the -10...

Stretch loads a 2A jeep in the back of his deuce using old stripped frame rails. You could makenanfolding ramp setup as well. I used to use 8' sections of aluminum bleacer seating with a little reinforcement. I find it much safer to winch everything up the ramps. I've taken a few spills from...

Droop is pretty considerable. If I had the rear axle on my M275A2 on the rubber bumpers, the slip yoke was about as far out as it could travel. It would certainly be an additional consideration.

Mr Bradley, that was disrespectful.

Drew's would be fine with me if he will hold it. I can get it at the rally. I'm going to slice the sides off it anyways to make it more manageable. I'll PM bchevyman real quick.

At your leisure can you post up a pic?

I haven't tried yet. I traded PMs with Crawdaddy and am sending him out money today or tomorrow so it looks like a done deal. I'll start reaching out to Tim and bchevyman.

Gang, I'm still waiting to close the deal and submit payment for the bed. From there I'll start my PM campaign and once everything is in order I'll post up here.

A noble cause. If I were 1200 miles closer I'd like to attend.

Wow, that's going to take some gouging with an excavator for sure. It looks like it was backfilled around or even poured right in there with a super high slump concrete. Glad that's not mine.

How is the fluid level? Shouldn't be able to compress it much by hand.

So, since it already needs so much metal work, why not bob it, put 395s and a multifuel sol that you can run WMO as fuel? That would make it a great daily driver! (Satire for those who don't know me)

The Ranger was originally built by Warner Gear and they were cast iron. AA picked up the line and has done improvements on them over the years. IIRC they use T98 synchros and such. Another one was the Double Torque 2XT. Again, nearly identical and perhaps it was Warner Gears box. It had an...

That could be a weldbuilt bed too, almost identical to the 440. Operation is simple but slightly complicated by the 4x4. Normally the transmission would have a PTO that operates a driveshaft back to the pillowblock under the winch. Upon exiting the truck you would secure the parking brake or...

No show piece here. A little story behind my motivation. After swapping off my M108 wrecker, I realized that moving my junk around the yard was more of a challenge than I remember. My original plan was to buy a cheap rusted out late 70s or early 80s GM wrecker with a Holmes 440 for the...

Standard stuff Willie. The gasser bellhousing will have to be clearanced slightly to clear the 6.2 starter. The trannys were the same between gas and diesel. Papabear, quite a complement coming from you. I have a passion for the 480 but I needed something with an extendable boom for yard work...

Ackerman angle combined with the push of locked tandem axles does affect front tire wear. I've owned a few short wheel base deuces and I can assure you, there is an obvious difference . Going even shorter simply amplifies this, it's simple geometry. Comparing this to a bobbed 130" deuce is...

She is going to stay with the 6.2. This unit is the Ranger III made by Advance Adapters. Looking forward to seeing how it behaves. 27% OD.
