Looks obviously to be manufactured 11 of 1944, so the good thing about that is it locates that down to a vehicle used during that period. read a little on CCKW's and I don't know enough to speak intelligently about what belongs with a cckw and what doesn't. I think the good thing is we have a...

We used these in the shop the most. It would break over the road and tractor beads, so can't see why they wouldn't work well on a deuce. This is just an example with a decent pic...

Here is an example of a oil priming shaft used on small block chevys

Gotta love that kind of stuff. Whether you tear it down or not, I would highly recommend you prime the engine oiling system before starting her up. To do this youll need to check the rotation of the rotor when engine would be running(find out which way the engine turns over when running, turn...

Nice work! Did the v-band clamps that you used-did they take an exhaust donut or was it a flat faced flange?

I cant imagine using a cherry picker-the skid steer is stable enough to be able to maneuver a little bit in the process. It would seem that if a person wouldnt be able to use the standard engine hoist as this setup is fairly heavy....I'd opt for a diesel rated hoist if I was to go that way. And...

Finally carved out some free time to get an engine and tranny pulled. It amazes me the nice design of these trucks!

henderson- are you able to locate any of the accordion style exhaust flex connectors anymore? I've been searching for one and have not been able to locate anything that is that long. I was able to find this material at the local parts store. I think it looks a more correct for the vintage of...

Did you historically run 30W and if you used a lightier oil did the slippage get less severe with heavier oil? I'm wondering if you don't have a weak front pump, and therefore lower oil pressure. With lower oil pressure the clutch packs aren't held tight enough to prevent slippage. Yep, if you...

So goose is having some tranny slippage issue, eh? When is it doing it? Looks like the the farm is getting depleted, better get some re-inforcements. And how about that, even the grass is starting to pop through!

Haha, yeah maybe they were feeling that a metal cab was silly and out dated-they're bringing in a new fashion-the woodys again!! Hasn't quite caught on yet

Well finally made it over to inspect the 135 and not much left other than a rolling chassis. I'm thinking I'd like to take that 207 with the ruined frame and take two trucks to make one. Gas tank on this was in great shape. The motor turned freely and drive train was in fairly complete...

Nice truck! What's it need done to it?

I don' t really know too much about its past. Underneath the green is red, and havent seen anywhere on it where there is a color underneath the red. Bought it from a kid-like didnt even have a drivers license yet, but was hoping to drive it to school. The seized engine let the wind out of his...

Haha, yeah economy for the military isnt too big a consideration.

I think I'd opt for the v-band with flanges like used on a modern turbo. They are a tight fit, yet they still separate after long periods of use. And best of all it sounds like there is no hassle with finding the correct donut the mate up to the flanges. I would definitely like to find the...

Interesting to note that there are three different expanded metal shields-I'm assuming you mean along the cab going vertical?

R u still using the fuel cell in the box to supply fuel?

Id say go for it, this would be a good step forward to keeping these trucks rolling if we'd be able to rebuild the airpak easier without having to find a 5 ton airpak to rob parts out of

And of course a truck of plowboy's demonstrating the significantly taller stack-look how much taller above the cab it is compared to the TM pics. Is this a later style; or is it Canadian vs. early US trucks? I tend to like the higher stack.
