So I have an opportunity to buy an m817 dump bed and assembly for almost nothing and I was wanting a little input from the rest as to whether or not I should remove the deuce bed and run with the shorter (by1.5 ft I think) dump bed with the cab cover cut off or not. The plus's: taller bedsides...

I will pull the ones that are in good shape.

a link to the models as equipped. The MD 3060 is the one I will eventually put in my deuce.

apology accepted catch ya later:)

just find yourself a fuller RTO or RTLO tranny with the taller OD and swap the whole tranny. If that is not enough put some 16-20's on it, take out the 5th wheel spacer and that should be more than enough to get you the desired outcome with a tranny that you can rely on with minimal cost and...

Having a bad day there Gimp, the OP asked for any other ideas or input, none of my post was reflective to you or if you did not want to waste time typing any input then you sure did waste with that posting.

just upgrade it to an allison with overdrive, you will like it much better and it will be cheaper than buying one from a surplus guy, just an FYI there are a couple on a popularly advertised auction site right now too.

I don't know that what you are talking about has been done, I have seen guys cut the deuce arms and lengthen them with some success. I think the best thing for you to do is to transfer the entire rear bogey springs and all, remove some springs from the pack and bolt everything else back up and...

that should not be a problem, do you want just 1 set? I will get them and we can figure out shipping after I have them.

the front windows will fit, I will buy all of the ones that are in good condition and distribute them once I make sure I have a pair for myself.

I will mention it but I believe they want them gone sooner than that.

these are prime movers, I believe they are all 3.5" but I will check.

Yes I am taking all of the hard tops, fuel heater, a couple doors, window glass, mirrors and some general stuff. I do a lot with deuces so a lot of the crossover stuff I will be keeping or selling myself, this is more for the M123 specific items or stuff I just won't use. Feel free to call me...

Yeah I have talked to David about them and logistically they are too far away for anything sizable unless he chimes in and is looking for a mysterious part.

Well Guys, I am up here in the great northwest and a client of mine has 5 m123's with diesels in them that he is going to scrap, I am heading out there in a week or so to pull the tops off and some other little things but this is your change to stand up and make an offer for whatever parts or...

after re looking at your listing it looks like the buckets are missing as well, afaik they are also the standard type buckets found in your average auto from the previous mentioned era. The cab mount for the exhaust is still there so the shop you get exhaust tubing from will have some 5"...

that outer ring is just a beauty ring, there is a much smaller ring behind it which is pretty standad, I have seen the exact ones on most all cars from the 70's 80's, it has three little screws that hold it to the bucket and then the beauty ring that you see from the outside just conceals that...

With this kind of a build you will be using the winch for recovering someone or something else anyways, for the self extraction use the crane with a snatch block, works great. I vote for a front end winch off of a 5 ton, I took a lot of measurements on mine to mount the factory one to the...

I would not bark up that tree if it were me, The reason Soni did the engine transmission combo that he did was not to blow money but to achieve a truck that could sustain a significant speed while pulling heavy over any terrain, any increase in mileage was unexpected and only a bonus. The 400...

Yep, that would be just fine, I use the same rotella oil in both my engine and transmission.
