Do you mean the MAN's that sold on GL? Those are pretty hot also. How about using three 5 ton front axles? That way all wheels would be steer wheels? I read someplace how to set up the rear. If you want I'll start searching for that info. I REALLY LIKE what you are doing. The idea of a...

Actually, for $22 Saturn Surplus has a new one. The one they SHOW has a knob already on it. :) But I've bought lots of things from Saturn that you have to purchase each piece individually. HOPEFULLY I can get just the stick shift without the knob. Then just spin the knob I have on. If...

I considered using my cutting torch on the knob. I don't care what happens to the knob, as long as it keeps the shaft in usable shape...

OK, I'm JUST ODD ENOUGH to swap out my transmission shift stick knob. I have one picked out with an eight ball as the knob. I've gone with the eight ball theme previously on my Harley. I've read three TM's and have NOT found how to remove the knob from the stick. I HAVE found how to remove...

Andy, Keep us informed. I don't know what it weighs, BUT check with DHL and see if they ship to UK. IF they do, it will be one of the cheaper ways to go. I've been using DHL now for about six plus months when I need something heavy shipped to me. I WILL say it LOOKS heavy duty, so it will...

HRD, That is ONE SWEET CREW CAB. That would be exactly what I would want to build. OR MAYBE a CREW CAB BABY HEMMT. jim

M35A3, I THINK I KNOW where you can get that level wind. Their is a guy here in Colorado who has a big rig salvage yard. He's MIGHTY PROUD of his stuff, so it won't be cheap, but given the exchange rate, you might make out OK. I'd have to run up to Henderson, Co (I think that's where it is -...

Leonard, I went through ALL your posts and I think I got all the "Project Baby Hemmt" threads listed here in one spot. That way as you continue to give us updates, we can just add the link here and everyone will be able to see not only the progress being made but the steps you took. If I...

Sounds like second gear synchro is gone. Don't know what to tell you. Have you checked the TM for this? jim

I hear M. KNIGHT SHAMALAN is looking for him...

Knucklehead, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! This proves what I've been saying for some time. I have NOT gotten around to changing fluids in my deuce yet. I've currently got a leaky oil seal on one axle (self inflicted due to the hub flip I did) that I will fix shortly. The other problem is a leaky oil...

It SOUNDS like the clutch is slipping. BUT, I am the LAST PERSON you want to take tranny advice from (really LOONG story). You definately have a problem. I'm sure someone here can help. jim

Gary, I am but your humble servant awaiting the results of your next foray into the 'purple' world. BESIDES, wouldn't this be an EASY WAY to get young girls interested in MV's? Aren't they CONSTANTLY being pushed the colors pink and purple? Ahead of the curve? I doubt it. I'm so far OFF THE...

That's why I LIKE my idea MUCH BETTER. REMOVE yourself from the 'supply cycle' completely. THAT WILL HAVE an effect. It might actually be the reverse effect though. As ALL oil producers start losing sales they may actually up the price to keep their profits high.

CAREFULLY tap with a 4 oz hammer and a nylon punch. BE REALLY REALLY CAREFUL to not damage them. They should literally slide off. Hopefully they have not 'welded' themselves to spindle due to really old grease/oil. I have seen that happen in OTHER trucks. Maybe you could use some mineral...

dman, THAT was an excellent post. I do have ONE nit to pick. Personally I see some hang ups... A hard top would never support the 200+ pounds that some of these weigh with out some serious reinforcement being done. Even then I would venture to say off road activity would be a issue with...

Isn't that what caused the Boston Tea Party? Something about taxes for the privilege to burn WVO? Ok, maybe it was to burn tea in your MV? I can't remember all the details, but I KNOW it had something to do with taxes and MV's ... jim

Bad Karma, I'll give you a tip given to me by one of our other members who is a diesel mechanic and works for a transportation company and I've taken to calling him 'The Deuce Doctor'. RandyLBarnes showed me a trick when it came to buttoning it all back up. When you get to the point where...

Bjorn, Once again, your 'pictures' speak a thousand words. And WOW, I'm impressed! It just goes to show you can do this on a small, medium or large scale and it WILL have an impact on the amount of oil necessary to run our transportation system in this country. Can you imagine if fifty...

Rick, I applaud your tenacity. However, your numbers are a little off. CURRENTLY there are about thirty million subscribers of the internet here in the US. So that means IF we are lucky, you reach all of them. Then trying to get all of them to go in the same direction will be a monumental...
