I had to relocate the power steering cooler. I moved and mounted it into the void in the hood behind the grill. I also had to reroute the hoses make a hole and sleeve the lower support.
I also got the hood back on, changed tires to XZL's, the front wheels are new and have less back spacing...
Thank you very much for the offer but I wouldn't want you to pull it on a dolly because of how heavy it is and I don't know if the brakes are working. Thank you very much for the offer though. Depending on how far you are from there if I have any issues I may still contact you...!
I have a set of 4 14.00's that can be deuce or 5 ton wheels I have both sets of wheels I have 6 tired but only 4 wheels. Id like to sell at Ga rally if you need any more. Let me know thanks and good luck moving the other set. J
I purchased a van trailer today. I am planning on going to pick it up myself but, I figured I would throw it out there to see if someone is coming to the Georgia rally from Florida and has the capability to pull the trailer. I am willing to pay someone to transport the trailer. Let me know...
Here is one more picture the intercooler is mounted and all the boots and piping are starting to go together.
I may just mount headlights and turn signals on the truck as it is because it looks pretty tough...!
Lights aside, be careful if you ever move a van trailer with a military tractor. Moving a van trailer that is typical height will result in excessive height about 14'6" here is my 925 converted tractor hooked to a standard height trailer.
The plan for the tri axle deuce is to make it into a four door eventually. Here is one more picture of the intercooler, along with 2 others from using the other truck to move some stuff. The drive shaft was twisted off pulling a full shipping container. I had already moved 2 and this one had...
I have a set of 4, 14.00's on wheels for a bobber deuce. Goodyears, the wheels have thick centers and are not home made or have adapters. I have not put them together yet but I will try to get some pictures.
I believe an international but the truck I measured was in a large shop with trucks that are still in use. From there I asked some of the guys that worked there and the told me what engine it had. They also said cooler styles tend to go with engines even in different truck applications. I did...
The intercooler is from a 60 series Detroit they stopped production in 98. I did a bunch of measuring and found it to be the best fit. The reason I wanted to gut the aftercooler was to eliminate is much restriction as possible. I'm going to attempt to flip the intake to make the the air enter...
I used another dog bone setup. It is live and not steerable it's really not noticeable as far as general driving but I have not loaded it very heavy yet. The only load was an empty lowboy and it still did well.
The next step on the truck is an air to air intercooler! It's from a 11.1 Detroit it's a perfect fit. So far I've removed the hood, moved the radiator back 2 1/2 inches. I also reindexed the turbo compressor, removed the after cooler then started scratching my head... The task of gutting it...
