Hey Guys,
I have a Deuce and a Half for a VFD that that needs a new head gasket....
http://www.lanranch.com/604 web.JPG
and every other top end gasket on the engine.
Where is the best place to get what I need?
I've done some digging but I haven't found a packaged deal anywhere.
I have the head off already and I'm ready to buy everything now.
I have read SEVERAL posts here on SS and most regarding this are old and the suppliers in the posts either no longer have a kit or they just have the head gasket.
Or I cant seem to reach them.
That is unless I am overlooking something.
I'm gonna need the following gaskets - Head gaskets (really only one), intake, exhaust, injectors, flange between the turbo and intake, valve covers.... and many more.
I have taken a ton of pictures during the tear down and a few videos to help me remember where that dohickey is supposed to go when it's time to reassemble.
Any help would be appreciated.
The Mulitfuel tag on the side of the engine lists it as a LDT465 1(
[ the ( is either the letter C or a poorly formed zero ]
I did some research on this before I started the tear down (two moths ago) and I think this is supposed to be the letter C.
It also lists a serial # of 3821279
There is another tag below the Mulitfuel tag that confirms the serial number and a repair date of 10/87.
Questions, comments, rants and raves are all welcome.

Other than a bulldozer or a helicopter, there hasn't been a better fire truck invented than the deuce...!!!
