Here: TxDMV Number | TxDMV.gov I dug into this real deep back in the day because I really didn't want to go through the hassle of operating authority. Everyone I asked at DPS and TXDMV confirmed that it didn't matter what type of plate I had (including FMV), over 26K you had to have TXDMV...

Guys quit telling her to use a pipe wrench on the winch input shaft! Nothing worse than having that precision machined surface all buggered up, then the yoke won't go on smooth ever again!!!

Tobash he has a 4L80E. Read:

Oh that is a 5 ton not a deuce. Year is late 1960's. If you need exact year i can try to figure it out. I would put the correct shear pin back in and try to unwind the cable. if the pin breaks, I would put in a steel bolt JUST FOR THE PURPOSES of unwinding the drum, then put the correct pin...

The pin can come from ebay, Memphis Equipment, your home shop. Use aluminum. Finding someone to wrench for the department can be a challenge. I maintain 3 LMTVs for my VFD. The reason I became a ff is my desire to work on these trucks, try to find someone like me haha. Maybe a vet, maybe a...

Maybe start a new thread on belt drive supercharging a 4 cycle diesel. I have never heard of this.

When you replace the shear pin, the PTO will be able to unwind the spool. Pry the drive yoke off the winch input shaft and drive the broken piece out. You can also manually unwind the spool by inserting a drift punch in the U-joint and forcing the driveshaft to turn.

Do you have a hydraulic driven winch or a PTO driven winch?

I did the Plasti-dip today and I agree that is the way to go.

The new boxes have solid state devices to switch the glow plugs on and off, not a relay. I would ohm out the glow plugs to start with, maybe they are all burned up.

Works great. Go check out Gensco Tire on Friendly Rd, they might have what you need.

Dave that is a clever stair design, I am worried my design will get torn off due to poor departure angle.

The manuals you seek are available from Vintage Power Wagons, along with most everything else you need. Get a high limit credit card first. No restoration threads on half tons here that I know of. Sounds like you need to start one!

Exact month and day may not exist. See attachment.

Find a heavy truck wrecking yard and score an air brake axle from a "pup" van trailer with the 10 hole Budd pattern.

It's likely the boom cylinders bypassing internally. I would put a stethoscope on the control valve to attempt to hear if oil is flowing there which would tend to confirm the cylinder diagnosis.

Just understand you have a very very rare truck there, very few (20?) were produced, and it is likely your truck was airdropped or LAPESed.

Looks fixable. Someone already snatched the multifuel out of it.

Welcome and lucky you. Search "flying dump truck" here for a members experience fixing one of these many years ago. The big difference is the cab, which on the airdrop trucks is capable of being broken down at the beltline. This has pros and cons, pros are the windshields are easy to replace...
