    So I was just looking for a Chevy Pickup...

    Whoo- hoo! What great news! I knew you’d get it loose.

    So I was just looking for a Chevy Pickup...

    Maybe try this, drive the truck up against an immovable object like a tree, put in high range, engine a little over idle, and crawl under the truck and beat on the reduction unit with a sledgehammer. If you get killed doing this, sorry in advance.

    So I was just looking for a Chevy Pickup...

    How fast were you going when you did the "shift to high" trick? When it lets loose it will be a deafening bang. Removing and taking the transmission apart to fix this is no fun.

    New to the stable. M-54 gasser

    Joe do you think this truck has been restored in the past or is this still paint from military service? I suspect someone repainted it after leaving service as usually there are stars etc..

    Does a Caiman C9 acert fit in a FMTV?

    There were two versions of the Caiman, the first was based on the FMTV M1083 and has the C7. Then BAE came up with the (awful) Caiman II which has the C9 along with independent suspension.

    You are sure no air is coming out of the dryer sneeze valve when the engine is running?

    Fuel water separator question

    Should be finger tight when you re-tighten it. The part is plastic so go easy on it if you use tools to loosen it

    Are you sure??? your wiki reads: "Green Valley is an unincorporated retirement community composed of 59 Homeowner Associations. " Hate to be a party pooper but this HOA nightmare comes up a lot on this board.

    1st Deuce

    Whoa, if your HOA won’t go for a 6x6 deuce, they SURELY won’t go for a 4x4! They will consider it a commercial vehicle and make your life a living hell. Each letter they send they will bill you $75 or some such stupidity.

    M1079 Rear Stairs

    They have to go motor freight. I would guess stairs and pallet at 100 lbs.

    Who got the GP M-47 1790-7B Engines

    I'll never forget opening about 30 cans with AOS-895's in them looking for a good one. All had holes in the block. I learned long ago that the Army puts the bad engine back in the can when doing swaps. Wasted two days. The 895 goes in the Walker Bulldog and the Duster.
