Great build Nick02. How much legroom in the cab? If you don't mind a tall guy asking. 99Nouns -Split Die Thread Chaser by Murray Tools, or any other thread chasing die for that matter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4dErEGTAos

Alan, are you going to post up a want ad here on Steel Soldiers, or do you have them listed on KSL? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Thanks for the offer. But I have already built a set of more modern set of racks (fiberglass slats & 2.75" aluminum u-channel) and my rig came with a front frame. So I am all set. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Is the dash lit with the standard configuration , or did you supplement with LEDs? That is a dash, that even I could see well enough to drive by. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

OK here is a pic to help. Again, if you have to remove the bolts holding on the starter, and lay the starter and solenoid on the ground, you can verify that the Bendix is popping forward, and the starter is spinning. If you use a set of jumper cables hooked to the batteries, and put +24 to...

This one comes with a holder you can mount and will keep your windshield washer fluid warm in the winter. I saw someone use one as a antifreeze over flow bottle on a jeep rat rod.

To get CARC shiny rub down surface with diesel or clean motor oil. But don't drive on dusty road afterwards. Could probably spray it down with Silicone lubricant (test on a hard to see spot ) CARC has texture, so it is naturally dull/drab.

Maybe get some all-thread sections a bit longer than the spline. Screw them into the holes for mating the trans to the engine. slide the trans over them. This will support the weight of the trans on the engine. Place the strap from the hoist/crane around the back of the trans, but not on the...

Yep that is the way. Ground to the engine block or the case of the starter motor. If worried you could always unbolt the starter from the engine, and test your wiring with the starter laying on the on the ground. Being held down by your foot, or a cinder-block. But usual way is to place the...

Simp5782, I am going to borrow your ideas for the spare tank. I like the return line cross-over from the new tank plumbing idea. To dissipate the worry of the 2nd tank pumping to the engine maybe use a check valve coming from engine to #1 tank...

The transmission is a standard GM SM-420. The remote shift tower is the part that is unique and more important to try and salvage. If you do not know already, there is a stickie at the top of the Gama Goat Forum that has historic & new part info from the now Defunct Gama Goat website. Good...

Lookin good. Are you going to add a coolant filter in parallel? I see everyone doing it to the trucks, but never on the goats? Just wondering. Do you have a personnel heater in the cab? The heater lines are what it usually goes in parallel with.

Shoot! I didn't even know we had an Otter thread. I remember seeing a couple of them for sale in the PDX area. Thanks for posting all of the info and pix. Seems like a nice addition to a land/water fleet. A duck, a goat and an otter :)

I like it. I have seen people use PVC sewer pipe (18", 21" & 24" ODs) as Hutchinson (internal)type bead lock.

You could make some wheel chock like platforms to raise the center wheels when parked. That would put enough pitch on the bed to let the water roll out if the tailgate was cracked. I also thought about putting in a trailer drain plug from a M416, or the aluminum equivalent. Just have to...

Hopefully the ol' goat's new owner is a member of the site? AZ has perfect terrain for a goat to romp around in. Thanx for your help along the way AMGeneral.

Thanks for the update. Rick Shaws Auto. So what do 10 of them cost before shipping? Did the vendor give you any hint, on material, color, w or w/o end curtains and such, for what they were selling? Then if we found a centrally located MV parts dealer that would be the middleman (with a markup...

Check at the train yards. Most have public docks to load trains for the ag folks. That was what I was going to use for my pickup when I picked up my 5Ton. But long bed extended cab equals rear wheels on the tailgate.
