Excellent workmanship Mike, but scary.

Yeah....whatever that means. :-)

Here is the difference, LDT on the left. The LDS465-2 also has a magnet and uses the same plug for drain and fill on the differentials also (that's where I pulled one for the picture). The solution to viscosity problems in the cold is simply to heat the oil pan.

Thanks Mike, I'm simply putting 1/2" NPT threads in the drain plug, it's only 1/4" now. Here is an image of the LDS dip stick boss (ports uncovered for the camera), perfect for the oil bypass filter drain. The small one in the lower right, the large opening is the turbo oil drain, of course.

As for the mirrors, check out the m656/xm757, they were a hot item back in the late sixties and seventies when they first became available, from what I read. NSN 2540-00-168-2186 (RH) and 2540-00-168-2187 (LH).

Sorry to read about your clutch problems, Mike. The MF engines have two dip stick bosses, depending on how the oilpan is oriented. I'm now using the unused one for my (bypass filter) return for the lds465 engine.... The oil drain plug is used for the preoiler, need to enlarge the port size for...

Interesting following this project along. Kind of an incentive to get my own truck cleaned up, it's a bit of a mess after all that veggie oil. Question on your valves, are they automatically vented when switched off? I'll be scheduling a visit to your place on my next trip South. :-)

Make sure you add a drain hole or two along the bottom of the door. I wish the doors had larger access panels, they are a PITA to work on...

Guess you won't be rigging for an airdrop any time soon. :)

I think you'll need remote control power mirrors w/defrosters too. What about you windshield washer, that's actually a military option?
