To remedy that, I took a short section of 1/2" steel tubing and cut threads, 1/2 X 20 into one end where a couple nuts will fasten it to the throttle assembly on the P-Pump

Then with some grinding the ball stud came off the throttle arm and was replaced with this stud and cable clevis

Just about then the brown truck showed up (No kidding) with the fittings from Summit, so right away, I got into finishing off the transmission cooler lines

I replaced the funky inverted flare fitting on the transmission with a simple 1/4" NPT to -8AN adapter then made up a short line to connect to the existing AN line I made a couple months ago

Well, I lost good sleep time over that and in the end, well, that dog just won't hunt.

To revise it I cut off the line and moved everything up a few inches

Yep, fluids are coming right up

Topping the transmixer is going to be a problem. If I fill it up, then when I start it up it will take a gallon or two to fill the coolers and lines. Remember this truck now has two transmixer coolers and both are amply sized for the mission.

Oil is something I am ah' wonderin' bout'

I haven't decided to just go and pour the good Amsoil stuff in from the git-go or start and run it in on rotella or perhaps a breakin oil, then add the synthetic and the bypass oil filter system.

For a survival vehicle, I think the bypass oil filter system is needed because in theory you may never have to change oil again considering the much lower useage in a no-fuel world and not as great of a need to drive anywhere...

I was looking at that and thinking the exact same thing, nice work.

What about a 90 where it comes off the tranny in post 907. That loop looks out of place by that mount. JMHO

Something else to consider. The Cummins will run easily to 8K miles on a oil change using standard good quality dino oil. In a SHTF situation I am fairly sure that you could stretch that considerably if required.

I always start our well plants on high zinc break in oil, then I run them a hour or so drop the oil and filter refill and then call it good.

Your updates and project in general are great motivators to my own project.

On the oil, copy that. Dino based lube is always a lot better than most folks give it credit for. I flew the giant Chinook helicopter for some 6,000 hours over a couple decades. That machine used synthetic oil in normal duty conditions, but oddly when the temps were going to hit -40 at any time during the duty cycle of that particular oil cycle, be it 25 hours, 50, or 100 hours, we had to switch to regular 30 wt dino based lube! Imagine that when it got more severe like going up in the mountains of Afghanistan in the winter months, out comes the synthetic (in some parts of the aircraft) and in goes the regular oil!

I've seen pics of it randomly online, I want it.

It actually started out as a purely cosmetic total hack job.

But in the hands of the current owner, a master fabricator it has reached it's full potential.
Way over the top, it's really a show truck with a ton of capability. THe bed, for example adds a lot of weight and looks but other than that does nothing to enhance the vehicle capabilities. I do really like how it's put together and if my truck didn't have a bed and I couldn't source one, I'd do something like that.

The crossmembers and general metal work borders on fine art in it's simplicity, execution and function. The grill is something I am actually considering myself to maybe get that condenser mounted up front. The grill guard is done right as well, and the bumper is really good, but it is definitely over done past that point from a functional standpoint.

Point I'm making is that an average Joe can accomplish most of what that truck can do with a lot less fabrication and stuff. It's cool to look at and would be fun to see it parked on a couple of Prisuses (Priue??) so I give it high marks as a show truck!

My wife and I are going to resurrect our old 85 W350 USAF crew cab. A bit of an expedition/SHTF type of build.

This i what it looked like back many years ago. We will be starting with a bare frame/cab and not much else as soon as it warms up enough to extract the frame from it' outside resting place.

That is a purdy old truck there. Another build would be great!!!

I would run good ol dino oil for the break in at least. Been doing some reading on how good the diesel oil is for about everything (but not vise versa) A lot to do with zinc an flat tappet cams.

As for the tranny on SD, just add the oil and crack an upper line and let it bleed awhile.

I decided to use dino for starters
Picked up 3 gallons of it today, Rotella-T 15W-40

I'll be topping things up starting tomorrow, but still have to make up some lines for the brakes/power steering and for the AC

Not worrying about bleeding the transmission lines, the pump will do that for me, just getting the levels right before I burn up something expensive

Getting closer...!

Had an interesting day.

We live 3.7 miles upwind from a landfill, which is not so bad for me because I am almost always upwind.

Well this morning it just smells awful around here and so I immediately checked the wind. Yup, blowing 030 at 8 knots. I am a mag heading of 210 degrees from the landfill so it is a direct shot down wind and by the smell, they are really cooking something over there.

Oddly enough when I walk out into the garage the smell is choking me, but farther out in the driveway it almost seems to clear up...hmmm

So as the morning wears on I start investigating. As I checked out the exterior of the house, I come upon the trash cans. THe smell is really strong here and I noticed where the red dog dug a hole right beside one of the three cans I own.

Now why would she do that, dig that hole. So I pull the first trash can away...nada

Second can, same thing, nothing

As I start to pull away the third can I notice some black hair sticking out from beneath the can and a white stripe on that black fur.

A flippin skunk! The critter took up residence under my trash can and now the thing is pointing away from me with it's tail raised. He missed but the spray got all over the cans and the brick on the house right next to the garage door.

It took me best part of the morning to get that darned thing to move. First I sprayed him with brake cleaner which "pissed" him off.

Next I found some scent neutralizer, mixed it with 5 gallons of hot water and added some perfume and Mr. Clean. I snuck up on the critter and poured it all over him. He didn't like that much but the place smelled better.

Well I thought he ran off, but then the chevy was stinking to high heaven. Yep, skunk went over under C-Max and stunk that all up. So I sprayed it with cold water from the garden hose.

By this time that skunk was getting pretty clean and he took off around the corner of the house. I thought he high tailed it into the woods, so I let the red dog and the sled dog free to run it off. Well they seemed to stop pursuit operations under my John Deere tractor. There seemed to be a lot of barking under there and then the awful smell. Good news is I don't think it got on the tractor because the full measure of the spray covered both dogs.

Now the critter seems to have camped under our heat pump where the dogs are digging like a gold miner after he struck a rich vein! A quick check after a couple more hours and I'm not finding any skunk parts so I guess the little guy is still hanging in there...But the dogs are a mess.

Of course they got into my garage and ran under Square D spreading the love everywhere.

So not a lot was accomplished on the truck build tonight. I did manage to put on my paint mask and work for awhile, I'll post up those pics tomorrow. Anyone want a sled and a red dog?

Good one JR!

So this morning I get up to a glorious red sunrise which is facing the bedroom windows. It is so spectacular that I walked over to those windows to watch it for awhile. I'm on the second floor and the basement has 10' + ceiling height so I'm up there a ways above the lawn below, which seems to have a frost covered towel looking thing in it outside my window. This black towel looking thing has a white stripe on it...

A guy with build threads about firearms used everything BUT a gun to end the threat.....Brake Cleaner with a match and I'd have given you a pass for at least being creative!  >:(

Recipe for Skunk Stink to remove it:

Bottle Hydrogen Peroxide
Couple tablespoons of "DAWN" dish liquid
1/2 Cup or so Baking Soda

Mix this in a glass dish outside near hose and ONE of said, Skunky, tied up Dogs.
Take mixture and heap and scrub on dogs from top down of affected area- KEEP OUT OF DOGS EYES
Rinse off with hose, warm water if you want it to work a bit better, cold if you really hate your dogs and like cold hands.  If enough "mix" left, repeat right away.

You'll need another batch for Dog #2 and you should be good to go.  If you find the fragrant "goo" on the house, you could try it, but not certain what Peroxide will do to siding/brick.

You might have discovered that when you're right at the point of attack, the smell is SO strong that it almost stops smelling......almost!  ;D

Hopefully your dogs are up on their Rabies Vaccinations, as skunks are one of the most prevalent carriers of Rabies!

lots & lots of tomato sauce. the old wives tale works. My first black lab, Sambo, (yes, I know, and it's still funny) got herself into a couple skunks in her lifetime and western family #10 cans of tomato sauce became staples in our pantry.

Mike,

Interesting recipe.
I'm with Tate, I always used tomato juice...just purchased 4 big jars of it.

I pour it directly onto the dog. Makes a pretty mean pic...Looks like a Bengal tiger got ahold of them for awhile.

Yea, I had my old .22 out there but couldn't bring myself to shooting the poor scared little critter. In hind sight, it would have been better for him instead of the end he met with in the jaws of one of those mutts!

Poor skunk!

Rabies vaccines: Check! All current

Too bad, really, would have been a good to have to shoot the red dog as a precautionary measure...maybe I still will...Just to be sure!

Enough skunk talk, let's get back to building a truck

Today is all about the fuel system

First order of business was to fashion up a simple mount for the dual pump assembly

Then find a place to mount it. Right here beside the previously created filter bracket works just fine

I removed the 3/8" hard line since I'm upgrading to 1/2" fuel line. The sump gets a barbed nipple of the half inch variety

While all that was going on I stuck a couple funnels in the radiator and engine and began filling the vital fluids.

I used the ancient green stuff and 12 quarts of Shell Rotella-T 15W-40

I painted the pump mount and this manual priming filter head which I am thinking of using somewhere

The pump assembly has a "T" on the inlet to allow for the future addition of a second fuel tank. For now it will bet a plug so I can get the truck running off the stock tank

I replaced the 3/8" line at the filter with a 1/2" NPT Barb and even added a 1/4" barb on the other side (a second inlet) for the return fuel from the fuel injector harness
