Stickers, tires, gears, ...

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

        I asked about this earlier and haven't really gotten anything 
definitive.  Does anyone out there know of, or where I could look for a tailgate
panel for a '75 T'all?  It's the one on the inside.  I'd like to coat one with 
Rhino Lining instead of slipping on mine when it's cold/damp/windy,etc.  

        Also  I looked in a few yards around here and found the vacuum 
diaphragms for the AC flap and Heater core vent flap that were vacuum operated. 
Ended up getting 3 and I'm proud to say: "I HAVE HEAT!"  It's a pleasure.  No 
more fogged windows, cold steering wheel, chattering teeth.  Picked them up 
yesterday and installed it in the parking lot of the yard.  Actually cozy in 
there now.  A pleasure.  They have 3 pickups and 2 T'alls with the whole body 
and alot of the interiors.  Many doors, and fenders in addition to the little 
trinkets, window cranks, door handles, guages, axles, etc.  Anyone need anything
for a 70 or later P'up or T'all?  Lemme know, or call Mission Auto Parts at 
(520)574-0360.  

Just keeping an eye out.

Tom,

        Who's who and in which magazine?  I have the 4wh & Off-road from April? 
Seems to have the IH thing in it, is that the one?  I like the idea of a generic
sticker without a hostname.com on it.  The only reason that the domains always 
change and the stirckers don't.  "IHC Digest around a picture of a 
Scout/T'all/80/800/Farmall, etc?"  How about a little spot of each?

        There's got to be enough of a following to get this done.  I'm sure 
people wouldn't mine a few dollars here or there to make it happen.

Subject: IHC-Digest Patch/Sticker

Some action on the Offroad Digest a week ago about a member's Jeep being 
in one of the 4x4 rags with an "ORD" sticker in the windshield (rumored 
to be the first sighting of the sticker in print), along with John Landry 
/ Steve Young / Alan W. / myself and others at the NW Binder Roundup 
trying to identify ourselves as "IHC-Digest Members" got to me to thinkin'...

Mebbe we need an "official" sticker.. bumper sticker, window logo, or 
patch.  I know Scouts West has a window sticker, and a few others have 
similar items.. what about a "generic" IHC-Digest sticker?

Howard,

        True I shouldn't have done it, but the 1/2T rating on the Scout II has 
to have a safety factor, right?...  I loaded my Scout with about 1400 lbs of 
equipment, etc. from two food booths at a local carnival that I was in charge 
of.  I had the top off, and two barbecues, 6 sheets of 4x8 plywood (1/2"), 5 
full coolers, 6 people, tools (200lbs) etc.  My 235's were at LEAST 3" 
compressed.  If I hit a roll of quarters at more than 15 mph, it'd make trouble.
Luckily I didn't have to go but about 2 miles.  Anyway, I'll hold true to my 10%
thing, the rating on the tires was less, granted, but then 10% of a 235/75-15 is
2.75".  2.5% of a 31" is .775" but any tire sags at least 1/2" just from the 
weight of the truck alone. so only another .275 is needed.  That's 1/4", it's 
got to be more than 2.5%.  10% may be extreme, but it'll do it.

<snip>

 If it compresses 3.1", that's actually a
38% compression of the tire section between the rim and the ground. 
Maybe at 5 psi you'll get that much.   The 2.5% overall results in a
.775" compression which I think is probably typical although I'll agree
with Joel that it doesn't sound like much..

From the sound of it, the ring/pinion set from the Stude (rear?) will be a 
reverse cut from the front?  I can't recall if the shafts wpin the same 
direction or opposite?  Anyone?  I'm always in the truck when it's rolling, so I
never really saw it myself.

        Good luck,

Subject: Dana 44

Would anyone know if gears interchange between 44's that were made for
different applications?
I am wondering if 4.10 gears from a 289 Stude(dana 44) will fit into 
an Inter 120 front diff.
Any help appreciated,JED.

Just to throw it in:

The 266 and 304 share the crank, the 304 and 345 share the bore, and the 345 and
392 share the crank.  Two cranks, and 3 bore sizes, and I'd guess you can make 
any of 'em.  The 152 is half the 304, and the 196 is half the 392.  I thought 
the v8s were all the same block? Why not find a 304 or 345? Am I talking yang? 
Howard?  From the sound of it, if it doesn't make any noise and the oil pressure
is still good, melted vac line, or burned valve?  How about clogged fuel filter?
Could be any number of easy things.  Usually if it dies without a sound, it'll 
be something soft.  If you burned a valve there a few tests you can do to check.
If you holed a piston, a compression check will tell you.  Basically you'll only
have 4 cyls to check so that'd be my first step.  No ticking, clicking or 
clunking?

        Sorry to hear about the trouble,

It's my understanding that the 196 was just a bored and longer 
stroked 152 block, thus the motor mounts should line up as they are.
