  1. Since they have a 71 year old licensing agreement that goes from the original Willys/ Kaiser all the way up to and including FCA banning sales in N.A. would violate free trade and their licensing contract. FCA already lost on the Power Wagon Carryalls being re-manufactured as modern units and they lost exclusive rights the word hemi.
  2. They have a ready made replacement work force with the GM plant workers losing the jobs
  3. The copper lasts long enough to set a matched wear pattern to each rocker arm point. GM suggests that you keep them in assembled order to the rocker and the lifter. Don't know many who do that, even GM techs. The hardened ball is supposed to save them both from damage/ excess wear of the push rod and rocker from miss adjusted valve lash. GM learned that with the first gen Olds and Caddy diesels.
  4. When you get to mahogany row, bring back the RW, R and B
  5. Fuel pump coupler assembly. Hopefully KSCARBEL 2 will see this, he has a vast knowledge of MACK and Scania
  6. They are duals on the steer. I imagine if doing mostly straight slow runs you may get a few thousand miles before issues.
  7. Page and Page! I couldn't for the life of me remember the name. Cogged belt drives with the "New" kevlar" belts has been tested but until there is and easy way to replace a damaged one we won't see it.
  8. .Yes I know, I saw the different axle caps.Looked at a B upstate that had a tandem conversion with the dead axle and a KW tandem with a belt drive dead axle. Pretty neat conversions.
  9. Here is a few more. Lyon's ford wrecker was restored and at Riverhead Ford Hosted on Fotki .Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
  10. Seems to be the same truck but not as abused as when I looked at it.
  11. Ours was bitter and don't remember much after the first cup full but we had none left and were all hung over for 2 days
  12. I do hope there isn't going to be a lot of yelling this time. It takes all the enjoyment out if a good shock wave and heat blast. Waa Waa Waa! It's too windy, it's too hot, the lights to bright...

  14. Mahindra has been building them under license since 1947. They just brought back the original WWII style Jeep for off road use only. Plus the baby Jeep the Mahindra dealers sell here.
  15. The correct term is "Professional Steering Wheel Holder" didn't you get the e mail??
  16. I'd make it a 7 word ad with Ran when parked.
  17. Ex NYC Sanitation unit. Generally low miles.
  18. And the Jeep licensed build Mitsubishi CJ3B powered by a Mitsubishi Diesel from 1954 to around 1990. Also the NC-1A Carrier Tug and the MD-1 Turbine starter tug. Both based on the WWII Willys
  19. Mexico also purpose build Jeep CJ aircraft tugs. 3/4 ton rears, 8 lug wheels.
  20. No J30. One of 40 build for the State Universities of New York as supervisors vehicles, hence the loaded option list and the NYS Green. Full floating rear, 8 bolt wheels but singles. The State bailed on half the order and I picked it up as a left over for $500 over sticker from Westbury Jeep AMC.
  21. Mine bought in 1981 J30. 361 V-8, Torgue Flight, PS, PB and AC traded it in on a 1988 Dodge D150. The Jeep was just too heavy duty for my using it on my property. Hosted on Fotki The Tornado was a very misunderstood and under appreciated engine. produced around 1961 first post WWII OHC built in the U.S. 230 c.i. 150 h.p. 210 pounds of torgue in an almost flat curve from 1000 rpm to 3700. In reality the torgue was over 230 and h.p. was closer to 160. The issues for the engine was mainly oil control because of use of Rubber/Cork gaskets, space technology with Viton gaskets didn't trickle down to the public sector yet. Early engines reputation suffered from early engine failures, mainly caused by the owners lack of checking oil and the engine was considered too complicated by mechanics. Produced in Argentina until the early 1980's pushing over 215 h.p. As for the statement " Another toy for the children to tip over..." the current crop of "drivers" seem to have no problems flipping over any vehicle from Benzs to Escalades. Generally driving well beyond the conditions, their abilities and the misconception that the driver assists will save their arses. IMHO
  22. Kaiser M715 is what you are thinking about. We had a few in Vietnam, had a OHC six in it and it leaked oil like hell
  23. No way to just loosen it and slide in 3/16 to 1/4 inches of body shims? They do come in long versions. Paul
  24. Take a close look at you air horns. Had a leak that would come and go with no pattern and no visible leaks with soap check, turns out the air horn valve would stick a few thousands and leak down the system.
