    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Well after searching around the web I ultimately tracked down the exhaust parts. I decided even though I had fabricated much of the piping that NOS exhaust parts were a direct fit.

    We were able to get stars on it as well. You wont believe how many people would laugh at the car show when they saw the sign okay to touch. All the guys with vehicles were totally paranoid a little kid was going to touch their pride and joy. In the mean time my wife put kids in the cab of our...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    749 tranny monkey business So the 211 has always been adjusted poorly to shift down correctly. Was trying to adjust it and everytime I got it properly adjusted, all of a sudden it would go out of adjustment. Finally discovered the teeth on the shift down arm on the transmission were stripped...

    GMC Air pak database

    I used a 5 ton repair kit from Eastern surplus. USMC was able to machine me a 5 ton piston and viola. Paul machined me a piston as prototype(it was an exact 5 ton setup)-it worked perfect.

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Man, I'm exhausted!! So fabricated some exhaust up this spring at the old shop I worked in. Took originals as templates and then ordered some machined flanged exhaust clamps. Also built a substitution pipe(that wasnt pretty) where I can install in place of the muffler till the original muffler...

    I'm guessing that took a little bit of force to crack out that bumperette-shame, shame dozer man! We have been pretty wet-7" of moisture since april, and since average moisture per year is 12-15" thats pretty good. We have lots of grass, but look out when it dries out, lots of fuel to burn...
