    Mating a Spicer 3053 to SBC

    I think the hard part will be the flywheel. The large flywheel referred to won't work on the 6.2 (even if it bolts uo). If it does bolt up, might be able to add heavy weights as part of a rebalance for the 6.2.

    To Drive Home Or Not? 89,000 Mile M1008.

    I think I'm getting old. My father was a AAA member for as long as I ever remembered. I never even coonsidered joining. Now I'm a premier member. I get up to 4 tows a year each up to 100 miles and one of them up to 200. Just bought an HHR 95 miles away and couldn't muster up an extra driver...

    Fedex dropped this off today. Cleaned up nice.

    1941 K18-C GMC Recovered today

    If you look close enough at that chunk of flesh on the grill, it really looks like a foot.

    Dana 44 swap, M1010

    There are a butt load of 3/4 ton trucks (think 10 bolt) running around successfully with 37" tires. Is it a stupid idea for these folks to drive these trucks? Will it wreck the value of the truck? Yep! Are they weaker? Yep! Will the truck flip over and kill a mini van load of nuns and koala...

    My 1984 Chevrolet Suburban K20 4x4 3/4 ton CUCV clone #2 - AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Very cool. I looked across the yard at my 91 diesel burb and thought about this for a nano second then decided I'll just sell it or scrap it.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    It's nice to see a radio install where Abdullah the Butcher wasn't invited. Single DIN radios hacked into CUCVs just looks bad.

    Finally coming to fruition!! Getting a Deuce!

    Congrats. You will find that doing all the research and planning will result in an effortless recovery. I studied the manuals for years before I got my first deuce. All the stuff that made no sense in the manual, made perfect sense when behind the wheel. Research and prep is kinda like taking...

    M1009 - upgrade to 1 ton needed for?

    There is a middle ground to travel. 3/4 ton stuff bolts in easily. Gets you a much heartier rear axle, full floating and bigger brakes. Don't have to move spring perches and cost about 1/3 the price of 1 tons. Not much gained in the front axle dept except bigger rotors but the price is right.

    1985 m1010 fuel filter housing leak

    Seen a few on ebay recently. To permanently quell the problem, do the FM100 conversion. Many threads dealing with that and Gimpyrobb is selling them cheap in the classifieds.

    Caiman MTV

    The discussion over wether LEOs should have or not have these machines has ran it's course. I've issued the only warning I'm going to issue. If anyone even remotely touches on the subject, they will get an infraction and the post deleted. I wil not let this thread get deleted because folks...

    Need to write a new book. "Groundhopping for Dummies". Jeff, I was going to ask about your recently obtained nickname.

    Injection pump check valve

    I have suffered the same failure post relay mod twice now. Both instances proved to be a starter malfunction.

    Yup.

    Ray and Ray's Road Trip

    Maybe a second M146. Build a deck and back them both up to the deck once at the venue. Have the Taj and the Taj annex.

    R.I.P.--TIGGER--Matthew Helms

    Members, while the shock of this is still fresh, please go through your photo collections and look for photos of Matthew. If you attend the GA Rally, please print and bring a few. If not I will set something up to email them. We will need print photos of any quality at the rally.

    Ray and Ray's Road Trip

    I suppose an M872 or the like will be next so Ray can tote all his stuff to the rally. Or.......maybe Ray had tractor jealousy towards Ray and his tractor and is compensating. Either way we have the "All Ray all Tractor Show" underway
