Thanks for the compliments Hi, Thanks for the compliments. The mil. engine driven compressor works great and was used to spray the truck. Na, there was no need to re-spray the interior as it is in really nice shape. I know the merdc was kinda neat but I hated seeing the camo cargo top on...

Hi, We finally got around to addressing some of the spotty surface rust and painting the truck using the TM as a guide. We found a spare tire retainer and rod so now the spare tire is finally resting in its proper place With TM in hand I marked out the pattern in black sharpie and labeled...

Hi, Glad see it finished. The whole package looks great and its even better that its functional! I like the mini-bed. We all take on projects that don't seem to end, its still fun though. I remember you talking about the valve body back in 07' at RC :-P

Hi, Oh I can get pistons for it without having to fabricate anything.

Hi, Its a Continental M330 made from 40's to 1966. The 227 was the one used in checker cabs. This is the only source I could find on the net after a short search but I'm sure there are more locally. I just have to play detective. P A Ross Machinery Co.: Construction equipment and parts in...

Hahaha.....:-P I may try it on my old round ram Bridgeport....... I know a Series I Bridgeport has a table capacity of 750lbs. and a Series II has a capacity of 1,500lbs. My bare block would probably be about 200lbs. and the tables aren't feeding during the operation so I should be good. I...

Hi, Update - Partial catastrophic failure and progress: Well after the initial test run everything looked great but something was strange......hardy har har on me :-P... I noticed a small puncture wound on the oil pan just beneath the pan rail. It was obvious that it was an exit wound. I...

Hi, "NV4500 or G56 6 speed for transmissions" I'm not too confident with the reliability and/or durability of this proposed modifcation.....Putting light-duty (wussy) drivetrain components into a medium or heavy truck chassis is a recipe for material failure. :razz:

Hi, Awesome job. Is that a Chrysler Industrial 361 ?

Hi, This project has really come a long way and it looks great! :hammer: At its maximum extension/elevation, what is height from hook to ground?

Hi bob b, I only request that people "signup" if they are going to attend to determine convoy routing & scheduling. Seeing that your right down the road you could just show up at your leisure. I hope you are able to attend. We'd love to see a gasser deuce! Thanks for your interest.

Hi, Jeez you guys need to get organized! (and stop referring to yourselves in the third person :-P ) Observation: Man....You guys have been trying to put something together for years now and not many people seem too commited despite many local "MV enthusiasts." The reaccurring theme...

Hi, -Definitely will keep ya updated. I'd like to get running for the local truck & tractor show in July. I want it to power a large siren that I got. :twisted: -Thanks Mangus for clearing that up, yes only when cranking and not firing does make that noise. -On my budget I can't even...
