It's been too long since I dove into this truck on camera, but there's plenty to be sorted out so let's get right into it. I'd also like to mention that there are numerous details and deep dives about the truck that I didn't get into just to keep the video a reasonable length- I've got many videos to make in the next two months that will cover everything.

In the video I mentioned a TON of links for the video description, so here we go...

    I really liked the first part of this video about the history and all the technical info! I have a 1984 Chevy K10 truck with the 4-speed granny low transmission, and it has PTO cover plates on both sides of the transmission. I may be able to help with your alternator belt issues - I had a similar problem once.... The belt's "sidewall angle" needs to match the pulleys. You can have a belt that is the correct length and width, but with the wrong angle, there isnt enough surface area for belt/pulley egagement. As the belt wears (faster because of less surface area), it drops further into the pulleys and becomes loose. Over and over. The answer is getting the correct type of belt, with the length, width, and angle all being correct. There are many belt types, and some parts houses will have incorrect listings. Something like an Eaton v-belt gauge can be of help, because the angle of the sidewall can be 34, 36, 38, 40, or 42 degrees. Until I got the right belt, I was constantly tightening mine. I hope this helps you! Keep up the fantastic work!

    That trip you have planned sounds amazing. I live in Washington state. Would love to cruise my 1959 B-120 4x4 down to Grass Valley and see you guys.

    900 16 and 4.10 gears probably cruse down the highway pretty well. 5.83s are a bit much in my dodge. Cool truck and good video

    Um.. Jeep made factory 4-wheel drive pickups in 1952, ( starting in 1947 I believe). I owned a 1952, factory 4x4 Jeep truck for many years.. Willys Jeep was a pretty major manufacturer at the time. You can still find them for sale today! They even had a 4x4 wagon!
