    [Questions]M1009 Axle Swap and Drive Shafts.

    I'd like to know what the 44/60 came out of. GM hasn't used the 60 rear since 1972 and the 44F could have been had in 6 or 8 lug. You mentioned that the 44 needed drums? If it is a drum front, its likely a closed knuckle and not worth the effort to swap.

    The new EPA fuel cans suck!!!

    A cool of years ago I found some older 5 gallon cans on CL. They were new and still bundled. Keep shopping, useful cans still exist.

    Looking for anyone in the Lancaster CA area with NOS or Mint Condition Hoods

    I don't know CA at all but try Walker Automotive in Hesperia CA. They have tons of surplus. Barstow Truck Parts would be another source to try. I can't say for sure that either of these folks have one but if I were on the left coast, I'd try them first.

    Front Hub Conversion question

    Yup, been done many times. It's much weaker than a regular hub. There are only 8 little flanges to secure the wheels. These were designed to hold the rotors. Not sure of the engineering aspect of adding a plate for strength. Big question, what is he going to do to narrow the Dana 70? It's just...

    Saying Farewell to an Old Friend

    My son sent this earlier. This is the first sundown in nearly 18 years that there is no deuce in my yard.

    Info on Reo M45

    Yes, I can say with a degree of certainty that it wasn't a water purification truck.

    Info on Reo M45

    I'd like to see a pic of the front hubs. If it has a place to put a shackle, it was a water purification truck. I've seen 3 gasser versions of these and I seem to remember the CH 54 or some form of it.

    The big trip and a new MV.

    That bleeder attaches to the vent on top of the master cylinder cap. There is a port in the floor to access the master cylinder. Don't drive that truck an inch without checking it. Many folks add a remote reservoir to check. Single circuit brakes on a deuce means that any hydraulic failure is a...

    Bypass m923 fuel pump?

    The big trip and a new MV.

    Here are. A few things sometimes overlooked by new deuce owners. Bring hearing protection. Either quality ear buds, foam plugs or muffs. If I'm in the saddle for 12 or more hours, I switch them up. Bring a jump box for 12v power in the cab. You may need to charge a phone or run a GPS which is...

    Saying Farewell to an Old Friend

    So, back in about Oct 2005 I drug home an M108. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?2875-Call-me-Mr-M108&highlight=m108 It has been a mainstay here at the house all these years. Only God knows how many hundreds of thousands of pounds it's lifted. Back in 2013 I traded it to ChevyC60...

    Info on Reo M45

    It isn't an M54. G742 aka something in the M44 series from the info you posted.

    Front end/Rear end Swap

    The 14B SF certainly uses the 1350. I've had them in hand.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Many folks prefer the smell of pork over the smell of arse.

    Front end/Rear end Swap

    The driveshaft, once unbolted, should slide right out of the transfer for an easy trip into the house. From there you can measure the caps to see if it's a 3R or 1310. Oddly, when going through both the 20P and 34P, both pickups and blazers were listed with the same rear ujoint. I know this just...

    Front end/Rear end Swap

    Does the original shaft have 3R joints? Let me dig into the parts TM.

    Front end/Rear end Swap

    I can assure you that the stock M1009 doesn't use a 1350 joint.

    Loading of.pictures is based on size not content. It's not censorship, it's bandwidth management. The system loads pics according to the posters ability and the parameters of the device used as well as settings (again for size) within the forum software.
