You are correct about the M50 part. According to the pictures, it is very similar, but I don't think it is the same. Seems to me, if this was a fording pipe, it just would go to the top of the bed rail and then another one would go on top of this one.

I have been looking for a Gasser Fording extention for the exhaust. This was suggested to me as what I was looking for. I have looked through the picture manuals and can't find it. They also don't list out the fording parts, so it could be missing because it is the correct part. But, any...

Another difference I figure out was the way the front of the front fenders are mounted to the strut that sticks out parallel to the front bumper. 1952-solid bolts 1953-2" long bolts with springs on the strut side to allow flexing. I didn't see a good way to take pictures of this, so I didn't.

I already pointed out the different support systems for the rear of the front fender to the cab between 1952 and 1953. I am not trying to start another manual use fight either. But, I started on my battery box and tool box covers this weekend. The 1952 ones are molded to fit flush against the...

The black box on you drivers side inner fender is most likely your blinker flasher control unit. 3 wires with one of them looped back around to ground on the mounting bolt? The alternators can also be adjusted for output. Look at the pulley end of the unit. There will be a hex plug between...

OK, I was writting about how the different parts fit together. You are correct about the tools in the manuals.

Look in the -20 for just about any vehicle and it tells you how to repair just about any connector and most of the switch attachments. At least the 1965 and older ones I have been studing in my spare time for the last month or so do. The -30P or -34P also show how everything comes apart in...

Wow, talk about a post from the past. I have learned a lot in the past year. The Douglas connectors use basically the same male end as the Packard style. The difference is the Douglas ones didn't have a female. Just a short little double ended female thing to connect the two males between...

RE: M35A2 INSPECTION IN TEXAS-PART 2 (TEXAN SS Duece Owners) My M715 is that way in Texas as well. You can use the bumper number as the license number. But, you register it under the time lines of the antique plates which are handed out every 5 years at $10.00/year. March 2008 starts a new 5...

You know there is a neutral between each of the forward speeds, right? Not much of a feel on mine between the engaged ones and the neutrals. I am never able to hit low or high on the winch on the first try. I have done most of my winch work with the middle tunnel panel out. You can see the...

RE: Re: Slave Receptical Rebuild Thanks for the advise. I will put the plug back in first and then the leads then since that has worked for you.

People post up asking about how to put new wires on slave cable recepticals all the time. The manuals show that one can be taken apart, but I don't remember a post showing how it comes apart. I got someones throw away because the wires had been cut off at the back. Breaking it would not make...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: NP 200 T case. I have a 396 Big Block Chevy with a NV4500 in my NP200'ed M715. My avator shows me dragging a M35 home with it. I have also pulled another M715 on a 2500 pound trailer more than 500 miles one weekend with it. Running 54mph the entire way. I figured...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: NP 200 T case. The money and the fact that oil pick up on a M37 or M715 would be at the drain plug hole. So, you have a nice expensive brass fitting as the lowest point on the truck ready to get knocked off my mud, branches or whatever you choose to run over. Tucked up in...

RE: Re: RE: NP 200 T case. Yes, the 205 seals work in a 200. But, the military 200's had a seal with an extra dust cover on the outside. This made the seal itself taller than the normal 205 seal. You will see if you get one. For the 200 seals, try AB Linn.

Lanty, you are correct since the offset hole is in the 205 case with a plate over it. Yep, I just walked over and looked. I have a 205 and a 200 sitting next to each other here in the class. The 205 has the same hole in the case with the same bolt pattern as the 200. Blank aluminum plate...

His thoughts on take out radiators is "what makes them better than the one you brought me. It worked until you put a hole in it with the winch, right?" Yeah, he is correct. NOS ones he was concerned about where they have been living for the last 50 years. Middle of the Plains, then no...

Thanks for the info guys. I got a few PM's about this as well. I will call the radiator shop in a little while and discuss the multifuel swap option, his opinion on old or NOS Gasser radiators, and new core options. I will let you guys know what I find out. Thanks again.

My Gasser had a radiator that held water under pressure just fine when I got it. I poked a hole in it putting the winch on the truck back in the summer. It was good enough to let me move it around the property and I have been planning this "work weather" rebuild for most of the year so I left...

What year truck do you have? The early Gasser trucks had water cooled air compressors is why I ask. If your compressor does not look like the one above, look for water lines connecting to the water pump. If you have that, then it could be a bad head gasket inside the compressor. That is the...
