I was gonna say,how do you get to the flywheel bolts through the clutch disk?

Not really,I bid on a truck in NJ on the 27th,but got outbid. Been thinking about a "batwing" shop truck on a 5 ton chassis,but I dunno.

Well,Today I passed my 1967 Deuce"Oddball" on to it's new owner,along with all the associated parts I had for it. Kind of a sad moment for me,this was the first MV I myself purchased in 1999,now I am officially deuceless. Hopefully the new owner will be posting up here with new expierences...

I left the "big" trucks at home and drove the Goat.:tank: I encountered no problems at all.

+1 on what pmramsey said, the ENDT 673 was basically a commercial design,modified slightly to meet military requirements. Dependable almost to a fault,with 1 weakness, they run a flat tappet cam vs a roller cam follower as most "modern" diesels do,and are prone to cam lobe wear. Having owned...

Sorry it took so long Mike,I just now saw this post. From the engine cover to the top of the hardtop is 21 inches,granted mine has the older style engine cover with the square corners vs the rounded ones.

Exactly,hauling WAY more weight than it's designers ever intended!!

As others have stated,pretty much the nature of the beast on the 250. The M816 I had,even with 6 new injectors,a completely rebuilt IP,excellent compression(checked w/a diesel compression test set) and as much as 6(yes 6!) hot batteries,would struggle at ANY start below 30 degrees overnight...

I replaced the heater blower motor and dropped the engine oil pan and replaced the gasket,(leaking badly).

I finished installing the dropside bed on the M54A1 today,no pics of the install process though,can't take pics working by myself.:shrugs: Hopefully I'll get the mirrors back on the cab tomorrow.

UPDATE.... Since I am off for Christmas and New Years,I have some time to work on the trucks again,yesterday was finishing the brake rebuild on the M54A1, today is alignment of the Gama Goat! I concluded that it had 3 major issues... Drivers side front negative camber/caster angles...

I have to agree with Clint on this one,although it looks great for a 60+ year old truck,and having a working wrecker/boom truck/etc, is awesome........ They will nickel and dime you to death,especially the older units that have been used by a municipality,civilian owner,what have you.You spend...

No problem,glad it helped!

I had the same problem with the kit I got from them,If I remember correctly,I had to switch the ground and high beam wires around on both supplied harnesses. I will check and make sure and repost here. Ok,I checked,check the harness as described below, The top terminal on the back of the...

I "think" the 3-53s are governed to 2200 rpms(?) Detroits just sound that way normally. As to the RPMS,no idea,Gama Goats never had tachometers,(to my knowledge anyway). Sorry for the shaky video,evidently I have a tire out of balance on the tractor of the Goat.

Just a short video of the Gama Goat coming back westbound on I-40 from a 65 mile round trip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BevYGVX7b2c

I would be glad to drive the M38A1,if Jennifer and I are able to make it,I think I may even have the proper era uniform.

I suppose it would be possible,with modifications.

Ok,Follow up report on the Goat after it's trip to the GA rally. What little I got to drive it on the trails,it preformed flawlessly,I only had to use 6wd twice! Adam and I did take it on a "road trip" to Greensboro GA on Sat morning, on this trip I noticed the Goat was pulling to the...
