Partly why a lot of us are even here, just staying out of trouble.

Been there and done that, had 2-1/2 DUI by time i was 21 i lost my driving privilege, too two different lawers and two different judgments too get it back two years later, Its a lot harder now than it was back in 1981 when i got mine back. Well yes many other troubles people end up into while under the influince of alcohaul. I had it in the famley,but it dident sink in till i learned the hard way that i needed too quit drinking or never drive while under the influince, witch is any beer more than a beer an hour, back then, So i stayed on a bycicle for about 25 years when drinking time rolled around after work.too get too a store, or stop by the bar / bars.

I think the truck has taken the oath. It will only run on gasoline or WG.

Hi Andy,
Yes welcome to the DOW.
On your early model Victory gasworks system be best if you set up a topic on say the Small Engines category then with pictures.
Some one of us could then ID it for you and give range of usages.
Be too distracting here in the middle of Marcus’s project thread.
If it ran small engines O.K. then roughly 3x, 4x for a safe larger engine loading.
Can we call you AndyW? More than a few Andy’s here. Like Steve’s, Bob’s and Jim’s, Chris’s and Wayne’s!
Regards

How do you know for sure that this frame and the other truck frame are the same? And they have not gotten a little out of square because of use off road, hauling heavy loads, ect…?

Dodge used the same bed dimensions though all the second gen trucks and I cross referenced every flatbed manufacturer I could and all beds 94-2001 are identical dimension and bolting if it’s a little off from road stress/ chassis flex I’ll make it fit, I’m to hard headed to let it beat me

Hey Marcus,
You’ve lost weight? Summer melting off?
Use a flat copper washer to make that bolt head gastight. Drain plug washer. Bango fitting washer. Or open stock from a good supplier.

Iv been digging through the parts room looking for a drain plug rubber or copper gasket for a hot minute now I might have lost a little, definitely been sweating like crazy for a week straight now in this heat wave we got going on. 75 right now, that’s workable I hope it stays that way after work so I can get the bed back on and start measuring out for the rear condensate tank. Got a lot of chunks at home drying the one thing this weather is real good for!

Yeah, I’ve been cold, cold icing down my coffees and teas feeding my daily caffeine habit.
Aluminum washer off of AC systems would work good too. Not really woodgas flow exposed.

It’s a struggle having time, I get in a rythm and cruise then I hit a wall, usually with a missing component. I don’t have the right rear tank so next I’m jumping into the hopper now I know how big it will be, 32" tall. I gained a LOT of hopper capacity but dropping the barrel that low!

With that bigger hopper, you might need double spings hopper lid too make sure ir stays on, on a empty flash burp ,or have a hinge lid with spring.Other than that you probley all ready considered , I get tired just watching the building speed you and allso Cody Have going on.
