I’m considering this one to see if it helps with acceleration. View attachment 2446700

That is exactly what this was running in Greenland. It's the only thing that won't gel at 50 below.

Well at least they could keep their kerosene lanterns/heaters going as well. One stop fuel.

Ah yes. A 79. No fuel door. My bad.

I keep thinking of that one too, but I don’t think they would fit very well since our tanks aren’t on the wing

All fluids changed and what needed greased got greased.

Diesel stickers got mounted.

Boy that Redline MT90 is some good stuff. Now I know why so many people like it for our old transmissions. The noise is definitely been noticeably reduced.

I think I found the source of the fuel leak that showed up. Is there supposed to be a open hole here at the back of the pump? I think this is the boost compensator.

I have used Redline MT90 in all my manual transmissions for years and it does make a difference. I'm sure there are equally good synthetics on the market but I have not had a reason to search wider.

I think I had Royal Purple in before and this MT90 quieted the transmission from having the other stuff in it.

I've burned hundreds of gallons of jet-A in my '01 7.3 Ford (International DT444) Powerstroke. Can't tell any difference from diesel fuel.
I love old low-tech diesels.
I bet a 3B would burn coal or logs if you could introduce them into the cylinders.

One of the things on the to do list was figuring out how to mount the side steps on the shortened 79 bed. I think I came up with a suitable method. Hang an L bracket down from the bed to where the other mount would need to be bolted to.

I was trying to remember what you did, at the time it seemed a little bit more work than I was hoping to do

 

[coldtaco]

I wonder if my paint guy can put this on straight

yeah, definately overkill on my part. Pretty sure you could have 5 people climbing mine at the same time.

I recently bought one of those, just in case I ever decide I need to paint.

 

[coldtaco]

Spare tire carrier installed

I think the short one came from the 79 bed.

 

[coldtaco]

Mud flaps installed, had the metal part Rhino lined when I got the bed done.
