I second the move to 11.00-20's. Don't even try for more 9.00's, and they are usually more $ than 11.00's for some reason. Your wheels are good up to 12.00 size BTW. Best of luck finding them, tho.

That sounds a little high for just one truck. Do you have a historic vehicle option where you live? I'm spending a little over $2k for the year, but that is on all of my 'fleet'. Maybe my driving record helps, I'm 70 now without a lot of big claims against me.

Yep, still have 5 vehicles on the policy and on the road, including the F700 and the M54A1. DG

A ground is just a ground, most systems I've seen/built for broadcast facilities have a lot of grounds to earth and metal electrical conduits/enclosures. These have continuous copper connection between them, with a single point of bonding to neutral at the master disconnect. Where else can one...

One can easily install a Johnny bar in a deuce, just ferret out the parts used on the 5-ton tractors. I had one in my M37 just for such towings. Worked great.

I've been involved with 6602 carbs. As stated before, the Holly will bedevil you forever. The Zenith was the fix.

Ha!

I've been rebuilding & driving M37's longer than most of the guys on the forum. The bed is the least lethal thing om the truck. Well, maybe more than the seat covers... Anyways, please don't confuse OCD with stupid. Knowingly setting up something that will hurt you is the latter.

More like too short for OCD...

And a 16V-149 just burbled at high idle, hence my comment about inverse size...

The simplicity of the GM 2-stroke system sold me on them years ago. Power-to-weight ruled until electronically controlled Diesels came about. You do know they were designed to just make noise? That the smaller the engine (the 2-53N), the more noise it made? Then someone figured out there...

Life is pretty short, ya know...

It weighs 4 guys. Just that. Not even 500 lbs., if you're talking a bare bed: no tailgate or side racks.

My experience is the airbox drains piss oil as designed. The other place was the rear accessory drive plates on the timing cover. No matter how many times I changed the gaskets & sealer, oil still weeped out.

One tends to touch metal with tools when doing battery service only once; It leaves a lasting impression!

Ground Negative first off, last on. The rest don't really matter, just be careful not short a battery with a tool.

All Zerks I've ever seen use the same size grease gun. Their sizes listed refer to the pipe size they screw into.

Sounds like a plan.

Yes, I used a silver-bearing paint to do an economical Faraday shield at a high power broadcast facility. They normally sell it for use in turning blow-molded plastic into silver coated resonant chambers for microwave amplifiers. It resulted in transforming a concrete block wall into metal...

I have that same 'light' towbar. Much easier to wrangle than the later issue. I've never seen another one till now. DG
