First ever monster truck? Fix that and drive it to your local car show and you'll get a bigger crowd than the mall crawlers.

Maybe weld up the old holes? We do it on subsea risers that have to withstand a lot more than a flywheel. Maybe redrill the crank?

Redrill your 4 bolt flywheel or go search for the extremely hard to find 6 hole flywheel.

The holes drilled is what makes them non-interchangeable without of course drilling more holes. During frame rail manufacture, these holes are easily placed with punches (old) or plasma cutters (new). Adding holes later with mag drills is a pain in a manufacturing environment. With certainty...

By "stocks", that article is referring to baskets full of crossmembers, air tanks, tail lamps, etc, that are shared between the trucks. The frame is not the same.

Where did this info come from? It is typically twice the work to disassemble an old truck, blast and paint the frame, as it is to just form new rails from shiny new steel.

Looks great for being 65 years old!!! I'm working on an ex-forestry deuce that has almost the color scheme and I kinda like it. Looking forward to updates.

You may have to pull the hubs so you can beat on the edge of the drum with a hammer and wood block.

That truck has the 1980's MERDC paint job still and that also looks like the last time it ran. At least it is off the DRMO lot.

Chevy trucks are pretty tough, but that terrain looks impossible for nearly anything wheeled.

OOPS sorry.

Unbolt rod caps and main caps, remove timing cover, balancer, etc., this will allow the crank to raise up and to turn.

Replace your fuel filters and it will become apparent why the in tank pump is needed.

I'll tell you what NOT to do. Sandblast inside the cab. Tried that to clean up rusted floorboards on a M1009. Even though I put tarps over most everything, sand still got into every imaginable crack and crevice and trickled down forever. Needle scale the bad spots followed by wire wheel...

Looks like something is missing because it is! The rear fairlead if you would have had a winch!

The big shackle is missing.

You said it: finish it right. CARC is "right".

I think you nailed it.

771 is the 771st vehicle that the USAF bought in 1953. K is the class of vehicle. There is a thread on decoding this scheme here somewhere. All I got!

No I think those are 12 volt for MRAP. Wanna sell 'em?
