Mopar is handy with external oil pump.

Doesn't look too hateful for a NY truck. Might be worse up close? Have to really pick it over before offering anything over scrap price. If marginally decent, I'd say $2-3K? Just a shot in the dark.

That idea is drilled into my head now......

Glad to hear it wasn't me that broke the camera....LOL!! Glad to meet you Ed. Also had Baddog stop by this afternoon while I was sitting around waiting to leave. I think there were a few others that introduced themselves, not just from BMT, but other places that know of me(besides the LAW ;) ).

We tore up our swindle sheets and crashed the gate doing 98. Let them buns roll........10-4! Farmer and I ran home together. Nice sunny drive. The roads....questionable.....but had a good run.

That Farmall Hoopty is owned by our own Stan Walls. He still lurks around the internet but doesn't post much. That's his little blue camper in the background.

Alex is in the house!

Joe Mustangs old H. 1693 powered. Dan said Joe just turned 102 and still gets around. Just met Stormy from ATHS. She took pics of truck and my life story. Time will tell if I make print??

We are here! Talked to Dan, he only brought 4 trucks.

Blew the belts off going to Quaker Sunday morning. I 'thought" I didn't have any spares. Called a buddy and he brought me a couple from Azone(which didn't fit), but the one was enough to run the waterpump. Good enough for me. Made the rest of the trip over and back. No problem. Last night, while doing some thinking, I had a revelation. I got into the side box of the bunk and found the spare belt!!! Yup, when I put the a/c on the truck I removed the second short belt and put a longer one on. That short belt got thrown in the bunk for "just in case". Only problem is my mind is fading fast and can't remember chit. Got new belts this morning, along with TWO spares. Won't need them now!!!! Will be fueling up and ready to roll in the morning to meet up with group and convoying down.

I'm guessing panel is stock but arm rest and electric window is custom.

I have led sequential arrow turn signals on the front of my B. Pricey but I like the way they look. Fit STD oval opening.

I just bought a DeWalt grinder off eBay. Sold by Summit racing. It was wayyy cheaper then any place. Yes it took near a month to get it but saved like $50 over anyone else and free shipping.

Ah, yes, I remember those days as I built the wiring harness for that 41 Willy's I worked on. It wasn't an electric powered car, but the owner wanted every freak'n gizmo put in it!!!

The lower bracket is homemade, using the original fuel filter mount portion. I then ran two legs down to the accy drive to support it. Rock solid. This mimics what they do with an R model that has a/c. I only run one belt, on the front pulley, as it won't clear the protrusion of the accy drive down below. The belt just touches it as it wiggles around while running. Never a problem, works well. I had to clip the fan shroud a bit to clear the pulley on the compressor.

Yup, looks like you have a DOUBLE OD triplex. That is a 13 spd Triplex, so you don't split 5th gear. That is kinda a "get home gear". Basically don't really use it unless you are empty and wanna run. It won't pull it very well if you are heavy and on anything but level ground.

Rough night with the boys?

Sounds like it's geared just like mine was 4.62 gears. With single OD it would run 65 mph flat out. Did that for years pulling my trailer, just holding it to the floor and go! With 4.10 gears it is 72 mph. They made 4.00 for these trucks but finding that ratio will be likely hard to do. I replaced mine with air ride Rockwell and found the 4.10 gears for it.

I have a 4000# Superwinch in my race trailer. Carefree for 21 yrs now.

The "P" Motor is a good, non turbo motor. It has the split intake manifold. Same motor that was in my truck until I upgraded a few years ago. Take a look at the rear end, on the drivers side of the gearset, will be a flat spot with a part number and gear ratio(like 4.62, or whatever). The same goes for the transmission. It will tell you if it is a single OD or Double OD version: like TRT-722 or TRT 7220. You can look at the transmission shift tag on the roof, but they are not always accurate to what is still in the truck. Truck looks pretty solid. Hope you get it.

Someday I'll get to Mudcungie.....

"Hello Mable.....get me Floyd the barber...."

Surprising the driver wasn't a convicted Felon AND multiple DUI recipient? SMFH! The news only wants to put down the President, they won't smear a real worthless SOB that tried to kill a bus load of kids!!!

I closed my PB acct so lost all my linkable pics. Here are a few. I duplicated what they do with an R model basically. The condenser is under the bunk since there is no place out front to mount it.

I use it for general information only. Though you have to have COMMON SENSE to use it also.
