I use a rust proof paint and mix some white sand in a roller tray. I use a small roller and apply evenly. I wait till paint flashes, [just drys enough to the touch] and topcoat with what ever color I need. Did this on my front fenders and running boards over a year ago and it's still holding up...

I did the boots twice on my truck. The first ones I did by myself in no time at all and lasted only a couple of months. The rubber was very soft so it made them easy to put on. The second set I bought from another company and the rubber was better quality. I could not get those on without a...

Try a two jaw puller under the manifold at the broken bolt with the threaded part of the puller directly over the bolt. Use a short bolt the same diameter to go against the broken bolt and work the puller SLOWLY till the manifold pulls up and off. Then you can remove the broken bolt as others...

If it was the oil cooler, oil would be in the anti freeze because oil pressure is greater than cooling system pressure. I would suspect head gasket.

A jack stand is a must. Even if your going to jack some thing up for a short while. 35 years in the repair business have taught me a lot of valuable lessons. You just proved what being safe is all about. Also you get what you pay for. Should never skimp on jacking equipment.

If you are going to rebuild the wheel cylinders, this is a good time to inspect the bearings, repack them and change seals . Also inspect brake shoes and drums. Do this all in one shot and you will be good to go for a while. Gives a great piece of mind when taking long trips too.

Mudstone and I will be there. Doing the convoy.

This is what it looks like on a truck with regular bows so it should fit nice on your truck.

I have a long troop cover that I would be willing to trade for a reg size one . PM me

I am a couple towns over from you in Southington. PM me if you need help. Nice truck!

Make sure fuel is getting to the injection pump first. Then check to see if the injection pump is turning.

The strap is used to ground the engine to the frame bypassing the rubber motor mount. Just remember ,when a poor ground is obtained electricity trys to find it's own ground path where ever it can and heat is built up through poor connections.

Trying to seal all water leaks in a MV is a tough task. Best you can do is keep them down to a minimum. Making sure you have drain holes in the right areas is more important. Find the lowest point in the floor pan and drill a drain hole to let water out. Find a rubber plug to fit the hole when...

The ground strap that you are showing goes from the battery to frame or body. The one you are looking for has no clamp on it. It has an eye on each end, meaning just a bolt or stud hole on either side.

No, it's not the stop light switch. The valve I'm talking about is located at the front of the master cylinder bore. The return spring holds it in place. It slows the flow of fluid when the master cylinder is on the return stroke.

Jerry, NAPA has 4 inch heater ducting . I think it comes in 6 foot lengths.

There is a valve in the M35 master cylinder that the old cylinders don't have. Can't say if it would affect the braking power on the CCKW but I put a M35 master in my M-211 and it brakes normal with no problems.

I don't run Hy-Tran in my GMC because I did not know if it would harm it. If Tom from Alfa-Heaven runs it in his stuff, then I would say it's fine. He knows those transmissions better than anyone.

Mudstone, I may have to back out of Rausch Creek because I want to do the East Coast Convoy and can't get time off for both.

I am thinkig about doing the convoy with my deuce. My route will take me to exit 17 on the NJTP to the Vince Lombardi truck stop as the starting point. Anyone in my area planning on doing the convoy? I would like to do that leg which is about 2 hours plus in a group if possible.
