Properly rebuilding a motor, as you've described, would make for a great running truck but considering what it will cost and how inexpensive used multi-fuels are I'd just buy several used motors and run them until they blow up! If you treat a "new" used motor right it should last for years. And...

If I recall the listed price correctly, you can swap out the engine and it still would be a fair deal. Those suckers are heavy, don't drop it on your toes (or head)!

Roadwarrior, Is this the truck that was on Craigslist somewhere up near Tulsa that the seller said they changed the fuel filters and it started running poorly (or something like that)?

I'm amazed what some people will do. I've dealt with Allstate on a "non-standard" vehicle after I was rear-ended. In my case it was a 1959 Jaguar 3.4 Sedan. Allstate's first offer was $6k and way too low. The biggest issue they had was very few "comparable" cars to use to get values. I...

I looked into putting an airbag in a spring ride seat... then a friend pointed me towards air ride seats made by Bostrom Seating. They make two basic sizes of seats; a "wide" seat with air bag lumbar support and a "narrow" one. Both of the seats give you more room than either stock seat...

You guys do fantastic work, keep it up!!!

I'm working on an A3 right now. They have a closed cell foam insulation under the hood and inside the cab... you should see the rust under it! On Jaguars I use "waxoyl". it's a spray on material that sets up just like the militarys rust preventative, kind of a soft and sticky wax. I'd use...

Nice fabrication work!

22 qts is correct. My dipstick reads correctly after an oil change, full right after shutdown and at the "C" in "Check" when left overnight. From the threaded collar (towards the top of the stick) to the "Full" line is 21". The overall length is 27", from threaded collar to tip. I think the...

Merlot566jka, Well my shop's in OKC, that's why it doesn't look much like Edmond. Send me a PM when you get in town and I'll give you a tour! And technically your iPhone can do that; you get an A/V cable for your iPhone, plug it into a projector and bam!

Oddshot, Make sure to post pictures of your build! I'd like to put dual/split brakes on my truck and as you have, I've been gathering info about the dual brake system. Here's what I think I know about the A3 system. The air packs are the standard deuce ones. I believe a valid part number...

Some fricken crazy guy who obviously had been sniffing way to many diesel fumes talked me into it! But it looks pretty darn good!

I've got your TM: Technical Manuals

These guys do exactly what you need: OKC Auction Services LLC M1075, here on SS, owns that company.

It's not quite done yet but pretty close! By the way; I know this is a bobbed deuce in the regular deuce forum, I wanted to show it here so others could see an easy way to do a camo paint job.

Specific to the transfer case; The manufacture's recommendation of GL-1 or SAE 30, 40 or 50 is the best choice. A yellow metal safe GL-5 probably would be ok.... as long as it's a air-shift. My transfer case is a sprag unit, and works perfectly (just put in fresh sprags). I think GL-5 would...

I like the Goodyear MVT's for general use but I think the Michelin 395 XL series tires would clear mud better.

I've read many of the threads you've posted to, but had no idea of all the things you were doing to your truck. It looks great and I think the floor heating is genius!

My headlights used to be DOT certified.... but not any more! (now I can actually see)

It's not yet done, but here are some progress pics!
