Wow, thanks! Mcmaster has everything! Type "clevis" in their search bar and it will come up.

I get darn cold here working on the truck when it's down to 40 degrees at night. It's about 65 this evening. I cannot imagine working outside in Ontario in the Winter.

If you like fabricating stuff as much as I do, I think you'll find these clevis forks are a neat thing to have laying around. I have some transfer case linkage to fab up to shift my Tcase into reverse since the original linkage is not compatible anymore. I searched for ever trying to find out...

Nattie has a point, fill it up with Marvel and let it soak. These 302's are just so durable I wonder if you couldn't get it running again without even tearing it apart. That is assuming that the cylinder walls are the only areas with rust. It would take 4 or 5 oil changes to essentially "flush"...

Doesn't that mean he has to use an isolated ground like the CUCV's?

I sure wish there was a bigger "thank you" button sometimes. Thanks, Stan.

HO LEE CRAP. That is one thorough restoration. I think the GMC's are making a come back. More and more people are joining here with new GMC toys. Super job.....

Dave....sounds familiar? Edit:Just remembered, you mean SuperDave.

CAPSARME has a refurbished radiator for $150. But he doesn't post here anymore and I have a hard time PM'ing him as far as getting replies. Section 8, I PM'd you an email to a link of a manual I found for sale. You can use the stock 302 generator/regulator if you wish. But if it needs...

You need TM-8024. Even if you do the power swap, it's still a god send and a wealth of information. I have most of the sections memorized. I don't see it for sale on Ebay anymore. Luckily you can download them here on the forum in the resources section. You will have to dig through several pages...

I would love to have the hard top on that thing! Seems 99% of all fire department GMC's are on the east side of the U.S.

Great pictures! I will PM you my phone number if you need any help or information. I have free long distance and that includes you folks up in moose country. You have yourself a very nice M135, great body parts too. If you are interested in doing the swap, first pull the old powertrain out and...

No, it doesn't rain here. I had just washed the truck down before the pictures.

My neighbor hadn't gotten to my mounts by the next morning, so I took them back. I guess if you want something to get done you have to do it yourself. All is fine though, I got rid of the extension cord my welder was hooked up to and cranked the wire speed up to 9. It has never worked better. I...

I believe turning the pump towards the drivers side advances correct? I will experiment with mine later, advancing and not so much turning the fuel up. If I am not mistaken the HMMWV motors are already turned up over CUCV ones.

This is often an overlooked part of repowering these old GMC's. But it is vital to the life of your transfer case. The GMC tcase engages the front axle automatically, when the rear tires begin slipping (around 6% faster than the front). When traction is regained, the front axle is automatically...

I would agree that the deuce by design will be louder just because of the lack of insulation and the fact you have a lot of gear whine from multiple gear boxes. It does seem that some 6.2's are louder due to the timing being too advance. Some of them knock really good, will that significantly...

Personally, I would forget about all of the small stuff for now. Brakes, wiring, hoses, lines, it's enough to drive you insane if your working on a budget. Wheel cylinders, air compressors and brake parts are still easy to find. As said above, wiring is the easiest. No special tools needed other...

Thanks for the replies, I will do the 3" straight pipe as I was going to originally do. My neighbor had an old ford 6.9 which sounds amazingly similar with the 6.2. That thing would wake me up every morning and I'd hear it all the way down the block. And it was muffled. Now I will have an excuse...

What do you mean by hinges? You mean that strip of cotton/felt that goes around the cab cowl hunder the edge of the hood and is held on by screws? I replaced mine with that adhesive foam you can get from Home Depot. This exact size should do it too...
