That sucks you dented the cab at least it was now not after fresh paint

Your right Larry I was reading all your old posts about it and it’s so hard to find the older parts mine was just like yours a good 25 seconds to get oil pressure I didn’t like that I let it sit a day and had oil pressure in a few seconds the housing has I bypass built in so it will divert around the filter if it’s plugged or reall cold oil so I figured I’m safe with that . I’ll paint it all up to match the engine paint that yellow filter gray and it will be good as new

Ya I don’t know what they sold it for when I found out it was all ready sold didn’t see the asking price

I’m changing to a spin on filter because I always have to wait for the oil pressure to build when I start it seems like the housing is always dry when I removed it not much oil came out I’ll see if this helps . Also when I removed the plate off of the block I removed the spring and plunger the spring was stuck in the plug when I removed it a bunch of nuts fell out what I can tell somone used the wrong plug witch if the spring didn’t fit right and there would be no spring pressure so I remover the nuts and put in a spacer to put the spring slightly spaced into the plug

Yes that was there to drain the housing

Here it is with the new housing I need to get 1 more elbow for the top front fitting

Figured I would start this project today this is before I started I have a remote caterpillar filter base I’m going to install 

Sounds like low voltage or possibly a bad switch somewhere it voltage should run through every thing then to solonids so dash switches clutch switch and switch at pump should be checked

That be it

Wow that’s something we have big diesel water pumps and they used the dodge couplings that looked like an inside out tire that has a split in it that cool you work there

Dodge couplings may have something we use those for water pumps

Looks great

That’s good it’s coming along fiberglass is sometimes tough if if got good bones though you will be 👍 

Says 88 and newer don’t know what the difference is  with an older one 

Maby this would save you some headache we used to buy ford hoods off of them they were better than factory Jones Performance in pa 

My tank is different than yours I don’t have the grating in the step area you just step on the tank I have a local guy taht has one in his junk yard I’m trying to get the tanks and mounts off of it

I like the dual fuel tanks too I have one on the left and I made a big battery box on the right my scrapper buddy gave me a piece of stainless storm grate I made into a step I hope to find matching tanks and just go dual tanks

It looks good mine has an aluminum one I had to weld a bunch of holes shut then I belt sanded it to flatten it back out I kicked around a chrome one but they all seem too wide

Looks real good !!!!! What happened to the big chrome bumper that was on it

When I built my B I sent pics to a relative of the guy I got it from once it was done I told my wife I wanted to call him and drive it up to him but sadly I got a call that he had passed that week so he never got to see it in person but the fella that I was sending the pics to did get to come to watts to see it . So I would say send a message to the old owner and make his day 

Lots of dish soap and the the correct tool makes the windshield strip go in quick that sucks with the glass I did the same thing to my side window made some adjustments and broke it I had put a new wing window and my son pulled it shut and it was not allligned right and he broke it lol

Truck is looking good it’s nice to don’t have to deal with rust that’s the worst 

The first picture should have supply air and the front bowl looking part should have oil in it with a wick to go to shutter stat in water manifold then out of that to shutter cylinder as long as shutters are open your ok I totally removed mine and made a metal grille over the rad it takes a little longer to get hot but I only drive it in the summer
