I trust that he had everything you needed to copy?

Well, now to see how it drives. Needs all new rear brakes before it gets driven. I did an add a leaf and an EZ Inch from DIY4X and the tires clear the box cross member but I'll still do some clearancing.

I have had great success pulling spindle bearings with a Snap-On pilot bearing puller.

The diameter of the rear axle is bigger. It takes a ubolt with that same radius. If at all possible, get the spring ubolt plates from the donor burb as you will need them.

Engine blew up? Sounds like time for a beer or 12.

On the original design, the air assist cylinder was vented into the slobber tube. At some point an MWO was introduced where it was removed and simply had a check valve installed on the line after it was bent like a J. Yours obviously hasn't had that MWO. The brake fluid is a sure sign that...

Greetings, Found these a while back on eBay but can't find them anymore. Found smaller plastic/Chrome cheapies but not these. Anybody seen such a light?

Yes.

I'm somewhat familiar with these trucks. No way I would do it even though in theory, you could. It's just not worth it.

Hemi.

Parts trucks are fetching near $2000 at auction these days. Maybe he is flipping it, maybe he bought it for a pittance. Bottom line is a decent minimal rust truck fetches that all day long.

Where did you find that? Amazing what's lying around for this old iron.

I agree with both posters. The plywood and 20# of grease works but is sometimes finicky. Removing rolling stock works better but is more work. Eventually you need the equipment and experience to change a tire, might as well gain it in the yard rather than along a highway.

Better make sure it has the factory drive axles. A member here just found out he was shafted on an M1010 purchase. Better yet, post detailed pics.

That Blue Sea stuff can be pricy but it is top shelf. I'm lucky to have a West Marine here at work with a whole isle of Blue Sea stuff.

If you use a small piece of hardwood, just make it to where is just fits in place. Once you start unbolting the pressure plate, the spring pressure will lock the wood blocks in place. Edit; looks like you got it!
