THIS SEEMS LIKE A NICE FIND!!! I WOULD LIKE TO GET A LATHE ONE DAY TOO. I HOPE YOU FOUND A WAY TO UNLOAD IT FROM YOUR TRUCK. :D The answer to the unloading problem has yet to be figured out. Dont have anything tall enough to lift it out of the truck. Were gonna try for monday to get it out and hope...

I can take a photo of what the actual box looked like. It doesnt have markings on it though. It was still with my truck and is bolted to the dash.

you would also be improving your obstacle approach angle by moving the axle forward. Another added bonus if your going to wheel it.

The 3rd photo down looks a bit like a New process transfer box ..... It does doesnt it :D didnt notice that. Got a new flat belt on order as well as a new modern style quick change tool post. Still trying to figure out how to get it out of the truck, that will be interesting to say the least. It is...

you could fab up a new shackle mounting system out of some tube and plate. if you cant move the original mount thats about the only safe option. Reengineer the mount it self.

they are very impressive for 60 year old pieces of equipment. That is at least twice the flex my old trail rig had. Time to get my truck back together and onto the trail! Good luck with whatever plan you decide to go with.

Ive seen some video of stock m37s being wheeled fairly hard and was quite impressed with the flex they have. Im a wheeler too and it was enough to convince me to leave them be. If a guy could mount up some chevy 63" springs you could get quite a bit of flex out of them. The only thing i would s...

Lifer wrote:"Wow" is right! That was some score. I strongly recommend installing a guard or two. Those exposed gears can be lethal!

ya there would have originally been a guard over the threading gears. Im going to try to find the right one first and if that doesnt work ill just make one.

Got a great deal on a 11" Logan lathe! 200 dollars with some tooling and a few different chucks/dog plates. Not a bad deal. Anyone happen to have any old tooling sitting around gathering dust? Now to figure out how to get it out of the pickup :D http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y106/cavemonkey/...

i just pulled mine and didnt encounter anything else

I have quite a bit of experience with wrong fuels being put into tanks. I used to work as a mechanic in the rental industry and there were many many times when customers filled diesels with gas or gassers with diesel. The effects are not good although gasoline in a diesel is much worse. Of course it...

Any idea what the going rate for a fording shroud now? Ive got one i want to part with and really dont know what to ask for it. I know its a hard part to get ahold of so i dont want to give it away. Any ideas?
