And it's going to need to be replaced

That's looking awesome.

Bummer about the guy with the radiator, though.

Well keep in mind Xtreme did the 39" tires too. In a 303 with the 5.whatever gearing in the axles, yeah, it's certainly feasible, I can attest to that. Please keep in mind, I have these tires because that's what was on it when I bought it. It wasn't my choice. I also managed to get the truck fo...

Wow, who would have guessed that there would be such hostility toward a larger tire :shock: Get a sense of humor & don't lecture me about stock in one breath and talk about hopping up a motor and doing a fuel injection conversion in the next because you sort of lose your high ground.....oh, and...

I personally wouldn't trust that conversion any further than I could throw it. I have never actually seen a complete conversion on a Pinz, Mog or Volvo that I would trust in any way. If the whole rig is mostly a toy to tinker with, then maybe that kind of thing is fine but I use my trucks for real ...

These things should never see 70. Pushing compression even higher will make you have to use 92 oct. fuel. It already needs 89 stock. I don't think you'd notice much difference anyway. The 30x series Volvos simply are not good highway cars and never will be unless you want to spend serious money for...

Yes, it is quite a job, and yes, it's DOUBLING the amperage, so I'm going to be replacing all wires, relays, etc. Yes. All of them. (I realize what I'm getting into, if I go this route) I picked up a 420 watt 24v to 12v rectifier as well, as initially I was going to do just that - build a 12v circui...

Other than the steering wheel, I haven't had TOO much trouble finding parts - it shares parts with volvo cars and Land Rover 109's pretty extensively. The steering wheel was admittedly a bizarre problem to have, but I bought mine from a bizarre midget artist for about half what I would have paid for...

Just reading through older threads and decided I'd toss this in for anyone else: Geico wound up insuring my C304 no problems, (Colorado) and I told them exactly what it was (military 6x6). If it's not on their "Do Not Insure" list, they will insure it no questions asked.

RockyMtn: Didn't heard if you ever got these, a lot of the auto parts stores up in colorado don't stock them for some reason, I have a large assortment of these style fuses if you need some spares.

Wanted to thank everyone who's helped me get the Volvo running,

And yeah, I'm saving up for new tires.

Ordered from them shortly before Vince posted this thread, parts (brake pistons) arrived today and look great!

Awesome shop! I look forward to seeing what else he can get a hold of, since it first opened up several weeks ago, it looks like the inventory's been expanding pretty regularly!

I just noticed, yours IS a C304 length frame but two-axle only. I hadn't run across any like that before! Yours is the one my manual talks about, I need to find me a manual for my military C304 3 axle, because I've got wiring and buttons that aren't listed in the commercial manual. :D Keep up the go...

Yikes - that is a lot of rust.

Good luck repairing that! I'd give you a hand if I were over there.

I know the body is supposed to be alumizinc but that looks more like steel, is it?

Correction, grant 4405 does *NOT* fit, and apparently I messed up my measurements.

ohwell. At least I have a wheel coming.
