When I called Tulsa some months ago I found an employee who remembered building this truck. He said the case normally needed to actuate that sprag for reverse but that there was a modification done. Apparently they knew of a mod you could do that worked around the need for actuating that in side...
Lee, any idea of the ratios after this? Also what does shrink fit a piece in its place mean? How much is "considerable" shift linkage? Does this allow the case to disengage the front axle completely rather than AWD? Sorry I always have plenty of questions.
Really cool trucks. I just came across this post all I can say is WOW. I may just head up to Jville to take a peek. I did a quick google and http://www.vannattabros.com/truck6.html popped up. I never realized how powerful off road a truck could be.
Hi I'm curious if anyone has come across a good takeout transfer case from a CCKW. I'm looking to swap my m211 case for a CCKW case to get a hi-low in the case. I'm in Florida and the closer the better. Thanks.
I recently got my hands on a 3053A for $200. It has some surface rust and in the case everything looks to be good but it was sitting outside for a while. About how much would I be looking at in rebuild costs in bearings, seals ect? I wouldn't want to exceed the price of a good takeout, I'm just...
I was wondering if anyone knows of M211 parts closer to Sarasota Florida than Green Gem Army Surplus, in Live Oak? I don't mind making the drive but if somethings closer that would be even better.
The truck never had the 211 engine or transmission, just the case, axles. Can you please provide a picture of what your talking about in reference to the T-case two speed conversion? Preferably with more detailed instructions? I have the manuals but am still learning about mechanics, I need it...
Hey, just curious is there any transfer case that will swap into an existing M211 transfer cases place that would be 1:1 and have a low? I've seen http://www.cckw.org/speed.htm and was curious if anything would work with the same mount and drive flange.
Looked in the TM section and did not see it. There were the 9-8024's but it did not cover diff removal ect. Does anyone have TM 1819AC in PDF or can someone copy the section on axle rebuilds and mail it to me?
Good to hear your ok. I first joined OTB in January and hope I'll only have to pay the dues once. Yeah anything going wrong on a bike happens so fast you don't have time to think about it until a week later when you remember it. I had just enough time to take a picture in the ambulance before I...
Could it be that the GMC are stronger due to the spline count, 27 as opposed to 10? I've recently found off the shelf lockout hubs, Detroit no-spins lockers and disc brakes for these. There is a write-up on making the CCKW, M211 transfer-case a 3-speed Low-Direct-OD unit as well so if his truck...
The truck has the M211 axles. I think there were two types of spline count, 10 and 27 but I'm not sure. I have found a source for classic lockout hubs and he swears he has 10 sets of hub on the shelf for the M211 and CCKW. If I had exact specifications I can go back and make sure they are the...
Gringle, thanks so much. I cant believe there are so many sites with the wrong data to include JP magazine.

I searched every post on the 3053 and 3053-A and all over the internet. All I have been able to find is contradicting information on the final drive ratio of the transmission. Some say .85 some say .80 others say civilian cases have 3 other OD's ratios. I know what the TM says it just seems like...
