TIMBERCAMP Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 thanks , almost feel alittle quiltyfor what i got her for. but i would like her to be a diesel daily driver. i am keeping all original parts as all are belived to be original to truck, and swap in a way that can be back to the way it was, (no perminent disection). is going to be a working truck sometimes so swapping in power plant /gear box /overdrive seems like the way to go for me. want to find a matching vintage lowboy and small end dump for hauling John deere 160 hoe/ skidsteer and attachments, and 450 dozercourse not all at once lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdogtrucker Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I see your point as long as it could be brought back to original.Give it a good bath with some CLR,then put on a coat of linseed oil . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 agree. leave it original. a 237 will fit. know a few guys who have put them in A models so its a tight squeeze but will work. might have to add a few leafs to the front spring pack tho. a 675 is a lot heavier than the original gasjob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
