No. Hooked up right. Contacting Westach.

Thanks to Gerhard's link it seems that this is indeed in the old Studebaker stamping plant in South Bend, IN. Used until 1999 by various companies and finally torn down in 2006. That makes it entirely possible that these could be engine/tranny combos from the A2 trucks that gave their life to...

That long bed is certainly cool. And it is half of a drop side. Steel hardtop is desirable. But the interior shows...umm...signs of use and would ...umm...greatly benefit from a few easy to replace parts! A great time to think about a few mods you know you would love to make anyway, such as...

Half of them had just the clip at the bottom of the HH fall off or the shutoff got stuck! :lol:

I was idly watching a couple of videos when this one caught my eye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h5J3eJGmfE Watch 1:53 - 2:03 and I dare you to tell me you would not be all over this place with a pallet jack, a wrecker and ten Deuces to haul the loot away!! As usual, not one shred of useful...

While the original intent may have been emissions only, there is absolutely no doubt that turbocharged multifuels are a lot more...agile. The turbo pushes more air in, making for a cleaner burn. It also allows you to add more fuel, resulting in more power. Turbo Deuces are louder, but a simple...

It is quite nice to have the truck documented in someone else's film production. Not many of our trucks have "provenance".

Since you ask about measurements: My experience with three shops in the area was not good. I ended up with new heads because it was the least hassle. None of the shops was comfortable "just doing it". I handed them copies of the relevant TM pages out of the LDS repair manual (which I thought...

Drove Queen Lola to work this morning. It was not entirely by choice, but there are days where the 45 year old army truck appears to be the most reliable means of transportation. I was working on my wife's Subaru yesterday and broke a caliper bracket bolt. Until I can replace that and put it all...

There are no visible leaks underneath. That can't be right! Looks downright unhealthy! Looks like someone partially pulled that radiator. The bumper looks level, so it is the rad that's crooked. M36 are practical if you put an S-280 shelter in the bed for camping purposes; you have room enough...

uncut "paperclips". cool!

Thanks Rusty! I am sure that will come in very handy for one of our late-model luxury deuce owners.

Amateur sleuthing is fun! A cursory search of tandem axle box trucks suggests that the box in the picture looks much more like the box on a M109/M135 truck. The two separated cutouts for the tandem axle wheels are quite characteristic. Most eastern bloc vehicles, such as Praga, Tatra, Ural, ZIL...

I stared at her all week. She is parked in the yard with a defective accessory switch and has no power to the starter. New switch is on the way. She also has a slight front axle seal leak after being parked for the winter, but I will drive her a bit and see if that goes away. Well, once all the...

Result from me thinking out loud. Disregard if you do not find it useful. So you KNOW that - the HH is correctly timed to the pump and - the pump is correctly timed to the crank (not 180 degreees out). You ASSUME that the rebuilt IP is in fact serviceable....fuel passages not clogged with...

I straight-edged the thoroughly cleaned deck and replaced both heads with OEM heads, used new style gasket. Result: it oozes here and there. Re-torqued heads. Result: It still oozes here and there. I could get really angry about this - but since it starts as soon as you think about touching the...

That is the kind of drive-in movie experience I'd enjoy!

I put the corner poles on to have a clear visual of the corners of my w/w truck. The issue is not distance to the font; it is distance to the bumper corners, especially when maneuvering in tight spaces. The bumper is so far forward that it will hook into, rather than just bump, stuff that you...

The first choice should probably be an identical pump. You are looking for an AMBAC PSB6A pump, NSN 2910-00-908-6320 for the LD/LDT 465 multifuel. You can also use the pump for the LDS engine. These are not difficult to find; try a well known auction site, for example. Also call a well-stocked...
