Custom Car Cool on Hempstead Hwy specializes in this kind of thing. Install all the big stuff yourself and let them vac and charge it.

That floor is not original, it is supposed to have ribs in it spaced a few inches apart.

My experience with GSA echoes Fuzzy’s. I contact the office that issues the SF97 and very politely ask them to issue a revised document. Usually they want the incorrect one back first.

Huge plus to have the ultra rare intervehicular cable box there! Needs an entire floor replacement which is a brutal project. If the wiring and lights had been there, they wouldn't be usable. If you run the numbers, you will end up upside down on this if you restore it.

Just use a crecent wrench on the shaft side and a pipe wrench on the pulley side, don’t need no stupid home made wrench for this.

Fenders are $115 ea from MD Juan distributors and they have the lunette eye too for $235. Trailer as is should be $800 ish?

For some reason those NSNs are not listed in TM11-7010-326-10. I was able to find all the cables using the typical "W1A" cable terms in searches along with "Blue Force Tracker" etc.

To clarify, the “banjo” type axle (not Timken split type) are GM corporate manufactured in the CCKW and G749s.

Those connectors are no fun to find. And expensive when you do. The schematic diagram that gives the pin out may be hard to find as well. Personally I would open the unit and bypass the connector. The connector will have two wires that lead to a contactor that in turn go to the compressor...

Another not too happy GovPlanet customer it would appear

Well that is encouraging. On the cooling system, fill the reservoir and leave the cap off while running and look for bubbles. There could have been some trapped air on your first try that was escaping.

Well I would enlist an assistant and fire it up briefly and pinpoint where the oil is coming from.

Can you confirm: you say it ran for one minute and in that time 10 gallons of oil ended up on the ground?

I see ?803 on your data plate, that is your vin. However lots of states used the motor number as the vin back in the day, and that would start with 302.

There are two stop switches so that if you apply the trailer brakes using the trolley bar ( brake control on steering column), the brake lights will come on.

Oil sample points. Someone added pipe extensions.

Parts availability for one drivetrain no worse than the other. Hey if you buy that second truck, I have the cut off winch extension frame pieces you would need to fix that frame.

Splits are actually a better driveline than banjo. A group of us took these two split axle trucks on a D-day tour of Europe last year, some 4000 miles between the two, never missed a beat.

Use a tire hammer, 3 whacks and the ring pops off. Then flip over but use a wood block under the wheel such that the rubber is off the ground slightly. Then 3 more whacks and the tire will drop off.

I STRONGLY advise sending a commercial trucker to pick it up. I don't even recommend doing a flat tow with these. Find a local trucker with a Viking drive on trailer that they use for moving logging equipment and send him for it.
