I'm still around...
The 62 seat bottom frame has steel brackets and the upholstery has plastic, non-locking grommets that allow the headrests to be stored. The holes are visible when one folds the 62 seat bottom forward. The headrests must be removed to fold the backrest forward and clear the...
Once driveshaft is removed...I would suggest now is the time for new u-joints and a though cleaning and re-lube of the slip joint with a new zerk fitting.
It's relatively easy to remove the filler neck restrictor as it is only spot welded in place.
A long rotary file, Dremmel, or even a sharp chisel will do. Obviosly, the pipe must be removed, and, depending in method used and how carefully restrictor was removed, a few small holes may need...
Welcome. Nice looking 60. Only issue with your post is the pictures are reversed as the steering wheel is on the wrong side! :)
As you likely already know, lots of information and people who like to share their common passion here.
5 degrees is not really a problem with the radiator and shroud. So not to repeat many posts, I would encourage you to read my build from the beginning. It covers engine angle, radiator, power steering, AC, intercooler, oil filter relocation, tach, and much more. There are a lot of pictures and...
I had questions about engine angle also. After much discussion on Mud and 4BTswaps, it was deemed accepatable to have 5-8 degrees of angle. It was pointed out the engine oil and coolant systems are pressurized, so no issues with 5-8 degrees.
On my swap, I kept the drive train in stock...
The picture looks like a stock sender.
Did the stock OP gauge ever work properly post swap, or is this a new problem? If someone connected the wire to the wrong post, it actually kills the dash gauge. There may be a way to fix the gauge, but most replace dash cluster.
There are 2 spade lugs on the stock 60 oil sender. If the wire is connected to the wrong spade, it kills the oil pressure gauge. It's been awhile, so I'm not positive which spade is used, but someone will chime in.
I will be following your swap. The Cummins is a great engine, I have one in an RV, but they are big - tall, long and heavy. I swapped an Isuzu 4BD2 into my 60 with my H55. The Isuzu engine is a 4 cylinder which is much shorter than 6BT front to rear, which for my swap is good. Both engines have...
