Ryoken's 89 Crew Cab Tubebed build... aka Mutt....

Overview Gallery Discussion
Looks good, but how's that rear view visibility...you gonna need mirrors like mine :whistle:
 
I'm fine with what I have... I can still see cars behind me in the middle one too.. just not as far behind...
 
thanks mang...... :D

I really think it helps break everything up with a bit of a Baja look to it... :pimp:

I also think think once the alum doghouse/tank is below it, it will look so much better... get a pair of the Cree worklights pointing to the back to the side of it, and the eventual lightbar.. should look pretty cool IMO.. :popcorn:


if the tracking #'s are correct, I should be able to start welding alum on Saturday hopefully..... :woot: :weld:
 
From the straight behind shots, its as if the tire is floating up there, then you look at the side shot and it "ahaa!" Looking good.
 
thanks guys!


and as a reminder, this is what I'm thinking of running for worklights on either side of the spare...




60w diffused LED flood lights from Sidetracker...

nobody has any info on these stoopid things? :dunno:
 
Mine has pipe plugs in it. Might soak one in silicone, pop it out, and see if the hole is threaded? If so, easy to put some rectum-seal on a pipe plug.

Pipe plug is not standard. In the late model case, the holes are too big. I put threaded plugs in a early model case, but couldn't on a late model case.

Hmm. Mine's from ORD, so they may well have drilled/tapped it during rebuild. Sorry :(

I found this about those rubber plugs and a replacement but I see JDNobodi beat me to it

Most late 1978 and later NP205 transfer cases used QU10679 Rubber Plug to seal the four transfer case access holes. QU10679 is now out of production and no longer available. In most cases either plug type worked just fine, but if the transfer case breather plugged up, the rubber plugs could be forced out of the access holes as pressure built up when the transfer case heated up during operation. This did not happen often, but when it did, oil would blow out the now open hole(s). If this problem was not caught pretty quick, you ended up with a seized transfer case. For that reason, I feel these steel plugs are superior to the rubber plugs.
