    Not yet, but I think the wood was 1 1/2 to 2 I had some pieces of it but the wife thought it was termite infested and tossed it out for me. The design right now has the option of the poles in a trough (sp it doesn't quite look right) beside the wheel well or under the bed along frame rails or...

    Thanks Plowboy for sharing your uncovered treasure with us...do we need to start a recovery fund? On another note, 1944MB, your trans is ready...

    Hi Rusty, My transmission is spoken for, but if you scroll back through this tread the one that I talked about is probably still available and you might be able to get it if he would ship it. PM me if you are interested and I will send you his contact info.

    I think if look at our little stepbrother the M35, it seems the newer the truck the more problems. Bearings are happier if they are aligned, the extra time spent made for a longer lasting truck.

    Actually this is does not actually need to be the case, this is the easiest solution, as the flywheel housings are indexed and machined to be concentric to the cylinder block. If you look at your 1960's Dodge manuals, they go in depth on how to alight the manual transmission bellhousing to the...

    It does sound like fun...except for the sub zero temps....been a Southern Cali boy too long my skin is too thin for those temps. On another note I corrected my clearance post and Identified all the constants and THE one variable! Lastly I will donate money to Mr Plowboy so he can have someone...

    Clearance issues M1351 with M35 wheels/G177 tires I thought I would post this up. If you are running G177 tires and M35 rims, you will have clearance issues with the M135's (with the M135 rear brake drums!) rocker spring seat at mid to extreme articulation. I would bet a 11r20 NTD on a M35...

    I never did get an actual price from him, but he was saving it for the trans and tcase all these years. The part I wanted the most where the front rearward spring hangers...but where torched. [FONT=arial] We were just bench racing Emergency measures, would not have the time to free the...

    Talked to the guy, he is wanting some money for this, how much does this tranny weigh? Current scrap prices? Does anybody really want it? I ask as if I can swing it this Saturday and there is an Oxy Acytlene torch onsite I would cut the crank at the rear main and drop the trans. It seems the FX...

    That sucks, as I thought though. The engine is locked up. Ever move and engine and trans on a slope....in a word DON"T. Torching the bellhousing is the only immediate answer, and not a good one at that. Even if there is a torch onsite.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but don't you need to revolve the engine to remove the torus ring cover? Please answer/correct me soon as I have to reply to owner. Regrettably gentry's garage is on a REALLY small plot of land and can't get assembly into backyard .
