Now's as good a time as any to go through the whole brake system for peace of mind , glad to here you came out OK !

That'll be a fun little beast to play with !!

I wonder if thats why they made the heads out of chromeoly , to deal with lowlead gas ?

Propane instead of a carb NOT as a power adder ! The carb is 40 years old it shouldn't be hard to improve on it .He's looking for improvements and the only way to find them is by looking not just dealing with it . Just looking for ideas and open discussion not to be shut down .

Thats not alot of money , it aint like it will break you . Plus whats wrong with a little more green iron ( at least thats what I keep telling myself ).

Judging by the mufflers on my gassers , the exhaust could definetely use some attention . Look at the compression it's really low so it can run on low octane gas . Mine have plenty of low end grunt , I would be a little hesitant on shooting for higher rpm's . Maybe get an overdrive to take...

It's big and cool , thats all that matters ! Do you have the studebaker lights hooked up ?

Man talk about at the right place at the right time ! congrats on the double score ( even if I'm a little jealous ) But at least you were nice enough to not dicker on the price huh ? I guess I can keep looking for an old wrecker cheap , here's proof there still out there !

Congrats doghead its a nice truck ! I told you once you decide to get an MV it snowballs from there. A year later you'll have parts all over the place and looking to aquire more , have fun !

Nice ride , you must have quite the collection by now !

I just need the ends but if the price is right I'd take the whole bar !

My tractor didn't last one day at home in its fire engine red . I couldn't stand it , didnt even take pictures of it red !

Nice truck ! You gotta watch it them 5 tons stop for nothing ( including walls ) !

Man thats cool I wouldnt mind having one myself !

I was at a gl once and spied some nice M52's but the guy said they either were going to other units or sold to other countries ! I guess we get the worn out ones !

It's cool , everyone needs a good work truck ! Besides you'll need it to haul home your duece project , you won't be dueceless forever . Once you decide you want an MV it doesn't take long before you start acquiring parts , trucks , etc. Alot of times my F350 isn't enough you need a bigger truck...

My M52's stock wheels are about 8" wide . Do you mean normal as in M139 ?

The 1100x20 wheels are narrower than the wheels you have now . I also think they have less offset . How much was your longer stud from Memphis ? I've got a pair of 1400x20's on the stock 5 ton truck wheels , it pinches them in a little but they work .

Welcome aboard , nice truck man you got a heck of a deal !
