It sure doesn't take a V8 to break em, new or old. I broke two long rears, with the six, four wheeling on Mosquito Pass at about 13,000 feet. Pulled out the broken end and scraps and put in the trail ready spare, and almost immediatly broke that one. Thank Dodge for the front wheel drive that...
If you have three, one is the fuel line to the trailer heater. Ambulance had em. It should be short and go to a fuel pump on the bulkhead next to the right (passenger) wheel in the engine compartment.
The third one in my pic is the vent line for the rear diff. It goes up into the void in the...
If the tailgate has a step the pintal and bumpers were removed to allow the tailgate to hang straight up and down. This positions the step in a horiz. position. Most people replace the hook then put a huge dent in the tailgate when they let it fall.
It's pretty bent up but it's possible that it's a part of the canopy flange for the ambulance.
The m 561 didn't have a heater, the winterized ambulance did. Does the tailgate have a step bolted to the inside surface? Is there a pintal hook?

I added Lucas oil stabilizer to insure that I never loose prime in that little pump.
I'm the same way about starting new projects. It just never seems to go the way I plan. Always too many things on the bench.
I find it very funny that the MWO was performed to add a little piece of clear tube so that oil flow could be observed at the transfer oil pump. With the dificulty removing the dog house, I doubt this was ever used as intended. I was considering making a little door, similar to the transfer...
If they are welded then they were balanced in that configuration. When they are made of seperatable elements , like the Goat, Dopge etc. Then this must be a means of reassembly to close to original balance.
Goat's rear shaft must be variable in length because of the movement between tractor and...
The noise should be expected because of the Detroit, but there should be little vibration. Check mounting bolts at the transfer case to front diff. connection. These have a tendancy to back off. Also , make sure all the drive shafts are in phase. If it's a high speed vibration check the joint...
