And probably costly depending on how long I am outta work. All because I didn't watch where I put my foot. But it could have been worse...

    Turn signals on back of fender.

    I found some turn signal lamps that I had put up. I have been looking at the lolli pop lights but I just like the look, and I dont want anything on top of the fenders.

    Exhaust header on the 250 cummins.

    I have been doing a lot of reading about how people would make more power out of these old engines. And I came across a few talking about headers. I am thinking about building me one for my M818. I looked at superchargers, but it is really hard to find one that would fit the engine. I dont...

    My M818 recovery

    I went and picked up a M818 this afternoon. I traded a 1951 Plymouth rust bucket and $2500 for it. They threw in 2 new batteries, it has decent tires, and a hard top. Now the bad, it has a fueling problem. Once up to speed it runs fine to me, but it idles really rough. When you accelerate from a...

    C turbo on 6.2?

    I have a civi 6.2 that I am building up to put in a 1969 C 50 tow truck. My question is has any one ever tried to put a C turbo off a m35a2 on a 6.2. I figure that the turbo makes relative low boost so it may work. And I think it would sound awesome.
