Hey Rusty, So in regard to thrust washers and bushings....could we work on coming up with part numbers to be able to advise a person on how to put a kit together? I did not see where fatsco had a bushing kit. But maybe a person needs to call in for that. Secondly, if no one offers a rebuild kit...

Does anyone offer a complete assembly on this, where we could get a part number?

And yes throwing TH400 transmissions away would be sinful

Rusty, so would be willing to have multiple gasket sets made? If not could I have you send me a reduction unit pump gasket? I have two of the three reduction unit valve body gaskets, but must've missed the third. Although, I have not had time to tinker with my core till after dark, I am bound to...

So, looking at making a kit for the reduction unit. With that in mind, this is a list of gaskets that would be needed.... 1. Accumulator cover gasket 2. Reduction unit case halves 3. Lower valve body gasket(reduction) 4. Upper Valve body gasket(reduction) 5. Transmission to front reduction unit...

Rusty....Gasket BB what does that look like. Is that a gasket that would be needed in a rebuild kit

What wouldve been the original sbc that couldve been ordered with these? A 265 or a 283? Thats one thing ive always appreciated with gm -the interchangeability relative to other options.

Fun Funny to me thay even back then they made a high stall unit for performance. Back when most performance people wouldve thought of a automatic as a sissy option. “Your grandma needs the automatic since she cant shift anymore”

Just got off the phone with a gasket supplier we use in the hvac industry. Most of what we use are rubber/silicone based gaskets on commercial equipment. Ive had them custom make some weve needed through the years. They said to bring a nos gasket down and theyd be able to get the materials to...

A person should be able to find a company that could cut the gaskets out. If we had a rating on the material need and a drawing. I have gaskets made on occasion from a local company. Naturally what I have made is not as intricate

Thanks Rustystud, this has needed to be done for a long time. I am curious, have you noted on a military hydra-matic vs. one built for a civilian vehicle, are there any differences in parts. For example, talking to a tranny guy I know he was saying that the front pump on a hydramatic designed...

cool!

Did you find out where the oil was coming from>?

I have an oil leak somewhere originating from my air compressor. I am wondering if the bottom of the compressor allows the oil to drain back to the crankcase-just a speculation on my part. Where is the best spot to find an exploded view

I would agree with usmc. Have a 211 that put a 302 from a fire truck in it. Starts up, purrs like a kitten. Really you never know if was low compression. I could squeeze about 40-45 out of it. I used a cylinder leakage tester(you hook it to shop air and the other end goes in the spark plug hole...

So restoration starts now?

Well hopefully you can keep making progress on it. Restoring anything is a challenge and these big trucks are no exception. But they are a neat piece of history when conpleted

You should go open cab. Then youd be thw only canadian north of Edmonton that specifically sought out an open can deuce.

Are you still working on this?

I was looking around Jatonka and the heater pdf was there
