Cool plan! Looks like you have all bases covered. My only suggestion is to have Eastern find some kind of box or platform to attach behind the cab for stuff. Not much room in the cab.

Search "viscous" in the HMMWV forum. Works fine.

Check the Cummins data plate for a year or maybe a build tag on the axles. If all else fails, pick your favorite 1970's year.

I like my method of heating my house. Set the little dial on the thermostat and natural gas does the rest.

Construction companies typically want those for dust control water trucks. They do not want projects, rather trucks that run and are ready to go. Collectors/enthusiasts like yourself don't get excited about fuel/water trucks because they can't carry a bed full of fun-seekers. Scrap yard will...

We call "pads" "brake shoes" over here in the colonies. It is correct that the springs will hold the shoes against the adjusters when the brake cylinders are not applied.

I would fix it, looks bad. Wish I could find a 215.

The stack exhaust came about in the 1970's. Trucks surplused around then could still have the factory rear exhaust. If your pump plan does not work out, pm me, I am pulling a pto driven fire pump from a deuce brush truck at the moment.

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.
