What kind of power steering? Air-o-matic or Hydraulic? Air-o-matic can be found here: http://www.m35products.com/Air-O-Matic.htm for $1799. Bolt-on kit you can install in a few hours. Hydraulic power steering *can* cost less, but it's a roll-your-own proposition. Just search "Power...

Search is your friend...several of the posts on this subject have great images and information on what to do/not to do. Get a pyrometer...install it...learn how to read/use it. Watch your EGTs, increase in small increments, and have fun! Consider consulting a certified diesel mechanic before...

I like Pie!

Hehe..."No parking at any time, strictly enforced".. Very cool...love those pics. I want more of the half track!

Looks good mbwarner! Yeah, that was a good cover! I'm glad it went to good use on your truck. Somemedic, yeah...that was the old cover off of mine. Now sporting a tan cover (which rocks IMO). I know you can still order those 3 color covers new...but they are expensive (like $750!).

Yikes! Well, glad you made it home safe. Aside from the damage, how is the truck in general? What equipment did it come with under the shell?

11.00R20 and 14.50R20 are the same height (almost exactly). Great for having bigger tires up front (on 11" rims) and still having the dually look out back.

I'm insanely jealous! Where did you take it to get those pics?

Yeah! 5 stars!

My deuce is painted with Latex...matched perfectly, $25/gallon. Goes on easy as long as it's primed right. So far no issues!

Dang...I registered it as a truck..$260 a year. However, I can do with it what I want...:D Oh well...it's only money. :roll:

When you gonna get something to put on that trailer? I think an M60 would go nicely with it. Very cool rig...I love it!

Most excellent. Congratulations!

Welcome to the site!!! Those trailers sure come in handy. Looks like you got a good deal. I look forward to seeing pics of your MV when you get it. Maybe something big enough to pull one of those trailers!

I've also got some parts I could part with...I have one used wiper motor, and a straight front bumper. The bumper is free...:D

How far are you towing it? Maybe some other SS member could help you out with a more appropriate tow rig? A wrecker or something? If you're pulling it across town, you should be OK if you keep the speed down and are careful with stopping distances and turning. Any more than that and I would...

Chris, what can we (the members) do to fill that hole? Short and long term plans should be made here.

RE: repower with a screming detroit or possible big cam cumm 6-71 you're looking at 650-800+lbs/ft torque (depending on config of engine, turboed, etc). You'd need to put in a bigger transmission (the 3053 will not handle more than about what..400lbs/ft on a good day?). Then there's issues...

..and automatic rust-proofer. :D
