Today I called the place rustystud linked. I asked if their AD9 air dryer was available in 24V or was only 12V. The fellow offered to check and call me back. About 30 minutes later he did and a 24v version was available from his supplier in Chicago for ~$235, new, plus UPS S&H which he estimated...
No problem-o. Anyway, after thinking about it I do have a comment on the following:
Q: 3. Is there a maximum acceptable I.D. for the wheel cylinders after honing?
A: I do not think this is an item you need to worry about. The cylinders will either hone out smooth or be obviously pitted and just...
I can provide a tiny bit of help here, so I apologize as I'll skip the numbers I can only answer with "I don't know" (which is most of them).
Q: 1. Are there good and bad wheel cylinder rebuild kits, or are they all about the same?
A: You absolutely want the rebuild kits with the springs with...
Judging by how much sandy red dirt was INSIDE the selector valve and fuel filter, I'm thinking the fuel tanks will be FULL of settled dirt from it's previous location. They probably should be cleaned... =/
Now that I've owned the truck for over 6 months it saw it's first real work at attempting to revive it this weekend. Previously Red and Ji had taken a gander at the truck and helped point out a few cracked fuel lines. They were right along with gimpyrobb who said "A guy I work for once in a...
If you're putting them on the the front there's only grease to keep in, not gear oil. I would think you're just fine using the gaskets with RTV. If you're not, they can always be replaced.
Short video clip of the quietest ride I've ever had in a deuce:
(Note: this is at the very beginning of the trip)

Not a fresh coat of paint, but engine oil:
I received my hubs yesterday! I didn't think my handwriting was that bad, but my first and last name spelled wrong. :P But it doesn't matter how my name is spelled, as long as I get the package!
One whole side of the bottom of the box was split open. Fortunately I don't think anything was...
You know red, there's some M756 pipeline deuces for sale up in Logan, UT with a rear facing PTO winch and bed roller... :P
I took picks of them back in December, and saw they were still there in April...
Sounds just fine, and as always, I'm just offering, don't feel obligated. This is more than a curve ball you've been thrown and I'm impressed how well you're handling all the stress. I don't do well under it.
Not to speak for red, (and I'm not born and raised here...) but typically when folks refer to Northern Utah it is mostly of the Great Salt Lake Valley (also known as the Wasatch Front, for the Wasatch mountain range) where the largest part of Utah's population lives. It is wide and flat...
Well least you made it to Utah, but sorry for your problems! :|
There's Boyce Equipment in Ogden. They're pricey but they have everything and the know-how too. Let me know if I can be of any help - I'm pretty ignorant on the engine but I make a good "Soldier B".
I have a corner on the passenger rear of my cargo cover sewn incorrectly too. Cool that they modified a 5 ton. When you get to the cargo cover, take pictures and tell us its story =)
Congratulations and welcome aboard!
Numerous bells and whistles (the best way to buy them :) IMO)
Neat location for the antenna mount on the driver's fender.
Heater ducting looks near-new (I'm only slightly jealous, hehe)
Even the winch wire rope cover. Cool.
You've probably already corrected...
