The specific series of flat, thick, and tapered washers are there to allow the manifold to expand/contract - without cracking. JB at MWM has the correct ones. Keith

We bought 2 marine grade hold downs with stainless steel parts from West Marine. We had to grind the plas...

peter - hope all is well on the island. We had similar hole patterns in all 4 corner of the box indicating the vehicle had 4 antenna set-ups as a radio command truck. We left them alone as part of the original truck - I know some guys plugged/puddle welded them up - we like the swiss cheess look. ke...

As others have mentioned - we bought the rebuild kit from MWM, my son opened it up and a small b-b rolled across the kitchen table... We did not have a place to properly soak/clean, etc. so we ended up returning the kit and going to Then & Now. For less than $100, the thing came back like new -t...

My son called to say the 4 tires are directional Denman Ground Hawgs bias, the size on the sidewall is 078-16LT. The first number doesn't match anything size wise that I can figure. I'll see if he can get more info.

Dan - I have 5 original wheels that have been sandblasted, e-primed, and painted 24087 sitting in the basement - right next to 5 new NDTs with tubes/flaps. The guy who wanted them never paid me when I picked up 2 sets last year. I also have 4 Denman Mud tires/tubes/flaps that came off my truck with ...

Yes - standard equipment. We had the original rack but had to shop around to get a set of tools.

Charles - we built a dedicated ground wire into our rear harness which daisy chains its way to all the rear lamps, fuel tank, etc. Same for the front. Our new sender reads 1/4 to 1/2 in park and will jump all over the map when driving. We figured the new sender we got was bad - looks like you have c...

Clarkston MI M-Day Service Call-up

Calling upon the guys in the area to see if you want to join a small convoy in a private ceremony. I hate to call it a parade because it is a limited event to only the veterans - no clowns/balloons. The Amer Legion/VFW vets march from downtown Clarkston to the cemetary for a wreath/ceremony. The col...
