    I watched 30 seconds late in the circus.... all I could handle. The constant standing ovationa were getting ridiculous. Ugh. Bla bla bla bla bla bla....

    Ya, had to do a double take when I read that heading. I was like Huh?? That's ok Bob. I'll say he is up there reading the post anyway.

    That's incredible. Thanks for sharing.

    Buddy used to call our friend at the parts store and ask for the yellow wire with the blue tracer on it from a 1967 volkswagon.....

    You'll only need one battery box with it being 12v. It will start easily with just two batteries in parallel. Keep the box on the passenger side and run the cables up under the frame and up to the starter. Go with big cables! I think mine were 4/0? (Mine has air start now so I removed all the big cables).

    Drivers side was a 50 gallon and it stuck back past the rear of the cab. I used two 40s to allow dual stacks on my truck. The brackets are the same.

    Wow...that must be bad.

    Ya, looks like 4 spring to me. I've never heard of any real complaints about it? What is the deal with it?
  11. Freightrain

    They listened to their moms advice?

    Squeaky seat? I thought you had a birds nest in there lol.....

    Now that I got them painted up better, I'll likely leave them. Though shiny aluminum is nice to look at too.

    Wow....sounds like they have their heads screwed on right!

    I still have all the budd hubs for my rear axle. Guess maybe I need to start poking around for front hubs that I can convert my 517 axle?
  17. Freightrain
    Great job. I never even contemplated doing the machine work to get hubs on like that. I have access to all the equipment to do it. It basically is just making the old bearing spacing fit the newer hubs.

    I hope that old starter valve works okay for you. I wanted to use the one I had for my starter but was warned against it because of air leaks. I used a new air button on the dash and tank mounted valve and it holds 100# of air for 6 months. I'll be curious to hear how well yours works.
  19. Freightrain
    Lol....ya it might need just a slightly larger conductor......;)

    One thing I found out was I had to grind the width of the spring slightly to allow it to slip in the rear mount. When it was rolled, it was slightly flattened/widened and just didnt quite fit. Not a big deal.

    Dennis, I'd call ahead as this was a few years ago and you know how things have changed.

    Superior spring in Canton made me a new top leaf for my truck a few years back. Nice work. They couldn't order the correct eyelet, so they made it for me. 330 477 7291

    Saw a news report stating statistics about ICUs being full blah, blah, blah, then they had a disclaimer at the bottom of the chart saying 80% of ICU patients were not COVID related. No sheet. People do go there and die from natural freakn causes. Wonder how many people actually read that small script?

    The early v8s(865,866), was it just owners over fueling them that caused failures? Or just not a strong enough platform to live long?

    I'm thinking that was a site dump truck. Never seen salt in Jousey?? Double frame that isnt spread?? What a deal for the money if the cab isnt all bondoed up. I bet that thing barks pretty good with that pipe! I love the sound of my 237.
