    Mep002a

    Hey, I went up and got my 10KW today in the Blizzard. Got back to Ephratah by 1:oo pm, went home, crashed, came back at 5:30 and had it running, making 240 volts by 6:30. I am real happy, I got lucky and picked a good pig in a poke. Now I gotta hope the power goes out. There is definitely...

    Fording kits

    Joec, Hey, That is a great idea. If enough of us are willing to take on some points of interest on these trucks, and build what is no longer available, we will all have parts for our babys for life. I didn't know you were working on fording kits and I know there aren't any out there on the open...

    M52A1 transmission reverse switch?

    I know a guy who did it in reverse. Excuse the pun. He put a different tranny in and used the electric back up light switch to power an air valve to run the sprag into the reverse mode. I thought that was pretty ingenious. And he's just an onion farmer in Upstate NY. JT out

    The transformation has begun!

    Hey, let them bust ya, I know how much quieter you made it. I kleft mine a little shorter and a little greener, for the trip to Oregon, but It SURE DOES WORK. The rain cap rattles, a turn out might appease these SS guys a little, could buy some barbeque black at true value and darken the shine...

    818 from gl with big antifreeze leak

    When we buy at auction, you get what you get. Then fix it. Since you bought 5 and don't know where the radiator drain is, they must be your first 5 800 series trucks, that's cool, now you or your helper will get to know them much better. Pretty soon you'll be answering questions here on SS...

    M35A2 Headlight Bulbs

    Saturn Surplus is one of our best locations to find many many parts, both common and sometimes hard to find. Mark has been there a long while and knows more about NSN numbers, and what we really are asking for than most other dealers. That includes me as a full time collector and half A$*^D...

    Keys?

    I have been using Cole Hersee Master disconnect switches for years in all of my trucks. They are keyed, handle 1000 amps momentary and 200 constantly. I install them under the pass seat, above the battery box on deuces and 5 tons, need one extra cable about 20" long with eylets on each end and...

    Papa Bear, Thanks for the kind words, but I know, if Aces & eights had been there, doing her job, She never would have been looking this good 31 years later. She would have been gone.

    multi fuel engine at tracy

    The right price is $250 each, the price they sell for can be different. You might want to know that most of the engines in cans today are the engine some motorpool took out of a truck, they put the one that was in the can in the truck. There are very few new or rebuilt engines out there in the...

    Heater Plumbing

    Hi Kevin, you can go to Napa and get exactly the correct elbow with a shut off built in it . I have had to do it several times on deuces that I installed heaters in. I believe the marine section of NAPA is where to head to. They will be 1/2 inch pipe to 5/8 inch heater hose and you will need one...
