regarding bob evans, do you park in the lot behind? there is a lot more room there. just a thought. tom

a 2000 lb trans jack from HF is only $200 and a good investment if you have a bunch of friends who may need to 'rent' it. $195 for the brng/seal kit is full retail, you can do a lot better. tom

replace the front axle assy and the transfer case with an air shift to bring it into at least the 20th century. you might want to consider what engine is in this truck, if it is not marked TD on the block, it might just not be worth the time & money to do anything with it. tom

yes, 9 so far. including mine. 48" tires are going to be a bit big for .69 od. i reccomend not larger than 11.00 x20 or 14.5R20XL tom

quite a bit of diversity going on, of the 8 sets sold, 3 are going in m-37, 1 in a m-715, 2 in a stock deuce, 1 in a deuce with a lds, 1 in a bobbed deuce, and 1 in a deuce with a 8.4 cummins. tom

in 6000 miles i have NEVER had ANY water in the tanks with an automatic pressure swing air dryer. on ebay for $40 to $180 tom

i see 1st / rev slider, 3rd damaged. until it is apart you will not know many other factors. is the counter shaft ok? my GUESS would be no. plus bearings and gasket set i see $300 of parts if the CS is bad. also the keys could have sheared on the mainshaft so there is another $100. take it...

nothing is ever really settled here. it will come up again an a few months. tom

but we are talking about vehicle air dryers and neither of these are used. the only common type is the pressure cycle type where beads readily absorb moisture from pressurized air and release almost all of it when the pressure suddenly drops. tom

the drain area is usually heated on the pressure drop type of dryer but i have never had a problem with no heat on mine.. it just keeps the moisture from freezing on really cold days. you should bve able to find a used unit for $50. tom

even with stock tires, and stock transmission, it is hard to believe there is enough power. 9.00-20 tires would be 1925 rpm at 60. .69od is all the motor can handle, and that is a final ratio of 4.64. you are talking about a final ratio of 3.82, it's not gonna happen. tom

copper? maybe copper plated, but not copper. what you really want to find is stainless steel, but just steel ones will last for 30+ years. tom

you are comparing apples to oranges. tom

$45 each, doubt you would need valve work, just fill the ports with solvent and check for leak. put the plugs in your self, it's very easy. tom

if you are driving from another state, don't forget to get your IFTA exemption 15 day pass so you don't get a big ticket. check with your state, maryland issues them to trucks with historic tags and apparently other states have to honor them. tom

jon, i added titles to some of the pictures for clarification. tom

i can not find any more info about this show and the web site listed in the first post is not valid. if you want a packet of info call John Cheney: (419) 257-2388 mailing is going out in a week. tom

several gauges need power for the electronics of the gauge. just use a dropping resistor based on the current draw of the gauge. (ohms law formulas) i think these may be the more accurate gauges as they do not load the TC. tom

Gears are here now. Kits are ready to ship. Some are going out tomorrow! .69 overdrive for M-35 and variants

i built this truck a few years ago out of mostly new parts. the pictures have been compiled and posted to part of my web site. a lot of them are of the original build and a few like the heat and a/c are later. since it has all 3 air locking axles i got a new data plate for a m-621 and call it a...
