how about rewording your question and

describing what vehicle.

if you own a Ford Super Duty 472 cu in engine

you rebuild it and put it on a test stand for

other treadheads to admire!

have a nice day!

Sorry about the confusion ,the brake system is poached on the deuce and i was wondering if parts off old school bus dump trucks ,or whatever would work. As stated in the first post we need the whole works . In regards to the 472 this is another project we have on the go a cad engine in a tow truck , this was a mini update only .Sorry for the confusion . Later bake

If I were to have the vin and what is known about who built this vehicle in the first place I may have a fighting chance of finding the right parts for it..Calling it a deuce and half says to me it is a former military truck however those were built by someone under gov contract and share parts with civilian trucks of that same mfr..

The years have taken there toll on the id plates .Ok found a piece of paper vin its a 56 gmc 113506262 ,hopefully that will help ,thanks again . Later bake

here in the USA, we have a tradition of taking the

part off and taking it to the local NAPA store and

putting it on the counter and saying

'got one?'.

will that work up there?

have a nice day!

No Gomer, up here in igloo land, we dont know of such things.......Quit being so cynical and you might get along better in this forum

M/W...You need to tell us the make/model of this truck....Chevy, Ford, whatever...the more info the better...thanks

Thank you very much i apologize for lack of info ,the many layers of army green hides many things. I was looking on a cdn site that showed pictures of the trucks and it appears to be a 56 gmc .The only thing is its supposed to have a gas engine & ours has a big inline diesel 6 in it but i think this was a transplant at some time in its past because there is another set of motor mounts under the hood . The beast has 4 single rear drive tires not duals and it has 6 wheel drive which is kool . I am sorry for lack of more info but i,m giving you the best i can . Thanks fellas later bake

Here are some sites that restore old military vehicles in Canada..

OOps did not quite work as intended but there are a number of collectors and such that know that old military iron and can probably help you with parts..
