I went last year, and plan to go again. Will drive right past your house.

About the brakes, likely the wheel cylinders are in need of attention, and may need brake hoses. I was able to get by for a couple drives with just adding fluid and bleeding on the crane, but the entire system needed rebuilt.

Is this related to M35tom's overdrive upgrade for the 3053 transmission? (.79 fifth gear to .69 fifth gear) I'm sure some of us will be interested, any details yet? Dennis

GMC was the tipper. No price, sure if you offered 5,000 he would take it, but hard to get a price.

I may be 6' 8, but 200lbs is pretty skinny on me. Box seat is better, I have a modded spring seat in one truck that will be changed to a box at some point. Don't have steering wheel issues. Put the windshield wiper in upside down(works fine), and you won't be staring at it all the time. Dennis

Pm on it way Doghead

Looks good! Any problem with tailgaters? How did you attach the straps in the bed?

Thanks Jon, that helps alot. I'll be pulling the engine or transmission in the near future. Have the fenders/hood off the truck right now, it may be easier to pull the engine. Did start to pull the seal. Oil pan and flywheel have to come off. Put it back together when I found the head was...

Thanks! That's good info, solves most of my questions. Still need the blackout driving light. Added that pic to this post, for future searches. Dennis

Okay, I've searched, and checked the cross-reference. Think I looked too long, so what are the bulbs, and positions for the tail/front light housings? Turn/brake bulb-1683 4 total Park/tail bulb-----623 4 total Blackout bulbs---1251 6 total Blackout headlight-? Front housing has 3...

Well, I couldn't fine the -30 1965 manual online. The -20 doesn't get detailed about engine repairs, just adjustment and replacement. Can anyone tell me if it's a one-piece or 2 piece? Can you replace it by pulling the oil pan, or have to get the flywheel off? Dennis

:ditto: (to Kenny's comment)

They came apart like regular u-joints for me. The u-joints were not cross-drilled, I guess you could drill the caps for zerks, not sure of the clearance in the knuckle.

5-ton turbo, or LDS-427 turbo.

Yep. don't have a pic, search axle seal, might be one on here.

On a modern seal, the seal is installed on the hub, and rides against the spindle.There is no place for a seal to ride on on the spindles. Also the hub only has 1/8 inch depth that a seal could be installed in. The inner seal is good for grease, but can leak oil out.

Anyone know what TM, that is available for download, would cover the 331 gas engine? Or, has anyone replaced the main seal in one? Have a part #? Thanks, Dennis

Can I drop off a couple trucks? Call me when they are done!

Little bored today, so played with my favorite gear ratio/tire/speed calculator. Be sure to leave at least one area blank, if all areas are filled, it won't calculate. 4Lo.com :: Final Gear Ratio, Crawl Ratio, Tire Size Calculators Gasser VS Multi... Axle 6.72:1 Transfer case 1.98:1 low...

Looks mucho better. Now pull the crane in the paint booth! I hear paint sticks well to oil, LOL
