    Swap old gasser motor for a Chevy LS 6.0L Vortec?

    Thing is, the 6602 can churn out 224 hp all day every day for years. Ask that of a Chevy engine and the results may not be that great.

    Unloading an M1082 - Caging Bolts and other unloading strategies

    If you go to a heavy duty truck parts house and ask for “air brake caging bolts” they will fix you right up, they seem to be universal. If you study your auction pics you might see if the brakes are caged or not, if yes you will see a stud with nut protruding from the air brake canisters. A...

    M1123 power steering aerated-Need troubleshooting advice

    You are on the right track. I would bypass the winch, if no change, I would look at the steering gear before the hydoboost.

    Mulemac01 M275 2 1/2 ton Gas truck tractor ON-GOING restoration and rebuild tread.

    My thoughts are that a valve has gotten stuck. I would pull the valve cover and remove the rocker assy and see if you can work it loose by pressing down on the stem. Maybe you can break it loose by soaking in WD-40 or something like that.

    no brake fluid

    You might never find a leak when you bleed the system. Brake fluid seems to just magically disappear as years go by.

    Any issues with running old surplus 37’s

    To me the cracks tell the story, if when you blow them up you see cracks, off to recycle they go in my world.

    New Member in Fort Worth, TX - What did I miss?

    You got it for 5 grand cuz it's a 3 speed and it's kinda ugly. But heck the good running GEP engine is what matters.

    Am I getting a good deal?

    Sounds good to me. GP is a pig in a poke, if the truck doesn't run, you could be replacing an engine.

    Looking for Ball Bearing Information

    Welcome. As you know, ball bearings found their way into Jeeps, trucks, tanks, you name it during WWII. I have never heard of some kind of issue with any bearings produced for the war effort. In fact, WWII era bearings are still serving hobbyists and industry all over the world. Good luck...

    M-51 SUGGESTIONS

    Oh a hoarder like me. That makes sense. Yeah bob trucks should be made from trucks that have lost their cargo beds along the way. Or better yet, not at all.

    M-51 SUGGESTIONS

    Question about rim nuts (not lug nuts) on 24 bolt even-spaced rims

    They are distorted thread nuts so that is to be expected. Some grease will help prevent galling.

    Turn signal light

    Any time the turn signals are doing crazy things, in my case at least, it has always been a defective turn signal lever control.
