Does anyone know where I can buy these bolts with springs in them? They were for securing the cab to the frame. CabSprings.jpg Here I have a long and a short one. It's hard to tell but I think the long one goes on the rear and the short one on the front, one on each side? Is that right? Vintage says...

Finally got the transmission put back together, ready to mate up to the bellhousing. New bearings and seals all the way around. I'm just about done with mechanical things on the truck, it will certainly be a relief to move on to body work and electrical!

Got the first run today! Did a video of the magic, here's the link. More details to come later.

Hey Everyone, I realized I never entered my serial info into the registry, gasp! I stumbled upon a few puzzles though maybe you guys can help with. The first is the serial number. It has 10 numbers instead of 9, and it doesn't quite fall into the series listed for those years. Here is a pic of it: I...

It matches the part number in TM-1840A (ELBOW-137421). Should work for some of those 90 vent and oil fitting I messed up getting it all apart

Fantastic! Are those the same brass fittings used elsewhere like on the oil filter housing and vent tubes?
