    CUCV OEM Wheel color?

    All of the ones I have broken down were black on the inside. The few production line photos I've seen had black wheels as well. You never know what GM puts on the line but I'd say a majority were black.

    too much bandwidth required

    Retrograde mode eh? I've never had any satellite TV systems, only had cable a few times. All of my TV is on the antenna and DSL is all of the internet I get. Now with that and all this other talk, consider this. I work for the largest fully accredited sheriff's office in the nation. Last...

    Inner axle seal replacement, and one boot

    The first picture reminds me of a lesson once learned. Always make sure you have adequate room in your garage to get that axle shaft out. Similar lesson, ensure that you have adequate ceiling clearance before lifting engine out of the bay of your big block Vega. Of course I never have those...

    The "Road Oiler" gets overdrive (700R4 Swap)

    The 700R4 was a factory option behind a 6.2. Regardless of the strength and durability comparison of the two, the 6.2 simply doesn't have the power to hurt the 700R4. Now couple that with the fact that you are significantly reducing the operating RPM of the 6.2 while offering it a little lower...

    Adding a small inverter

    Inverter? Are you trying to drop voltage to 12 or up them to 110? If you are a 12 to 110 you will need a 24 to 12 inverter or batt equalizer.

    The "Road Oiler" gets overdrive (700R4 Swap)

    Recovry4x4's viewpoint. 400 turbo + 4.56 gears= 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. 400 and 3.73 gears = 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. 700R4 + 4.56 = 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. No brainer for me. Great job Tom, congrats.

    M1008, thinking about 700R4 swap??

    Many have done this swap. Those that did rave about it. Those that did not curse the 700R4. As you pointed out, the 6.2 really doesn't have the power to destroy a reasonably built 700R4. Follow speddmons thread for some useful information. What most are doing is using the 27SP transfer case...

    The "Road Oiler" gets overdrive (700R4 Swap)

    That's good info to know Tom. Hey, at least we got you there. I can't wait to hear next years AAR from Speddmon. 70 MPH all the way down and back getting 17 MPG no doubt.

    Thanks to Kenny (recovery4x4)

    And where are the daily updates on this "Road Oiler" overdrive project. Hey, that could be the name of my next band, "Road Oiler Overdrive".

    Was just thinking, heck Roy, I loaded it with your M108.

    Government Liquidation ***BUYER BEWARE***

    Gents, this has gone a little off track but because it has, I will throw this out. Emmado22 has thousands of scepter fuel cans for half a "C" note. Don't pay those crazy ebay asking prices. Even if his price has gone up, buying from him supports this site and it's members. There is the...

    Drivers side step storage to battery box conversion ?

    Duel, isn't that something between 2 gunfighters? LOL. He needs 4 of these for extra cranking power and reserve. BTW, wonder how that 10 ton is going?

    Mounting 11x20's

    It's a feeble effort at balance. Since you have the tube slot at once side (taking away weight) it only makes sense to put the gap of the ring 180 degrees out from that.

    The "Road Oiler" gets overdrive (700R4 Swap)

    Put a reverse rotation vacuum pump in and use it to inflate air mattresses. There is another option. The HMMWV uses a tach drive in that location. Cam driven, drives the oil pump and hooks up to a tach sensor on top. Without the tach sensor it looks like a standard tach cable may attach.

    Unanswered mystery questions about the M105 trailer....

    The TM would be transportability guidance. I haven't a clue where mine is but it covers quite a bit on securing things for rail transport. Why this nation has stepped away (to a degree) from rail I will never understand.

    A2 vs A3 cab

    Distance! Put a long straight edge on the M35 doors projecting to the rear. Slide the 939 cab in until it aligns with the straight edge. I haven't a clue how to do this on paper. If I could scare up a 939 cab, I would send it to you for plotting the drawing. One thing that comes to mind...
