This is the factory deflector used to divert all the air onto the windshield,they are one of the hardest parts to find when adding the heater kit to the G-749 trucks as they fit only these trucks.Part # 7951681,Deflector,Heat,pg 3 TB 9-2855-40,Instructions For The Installation Of Personnel Heater Kit (Hot Water) (24V). And yes i do have one for my truck

I never get tired of your posts Butch, no punctuation and lots of ordnance #'s. Good catch on the deflectors. They are are simple design with a simple purpose but making a repro set would be nearly impossible as they are stamp formed.

G 749 Picture thread

Another bump for the pile of new G749's that are being added to the "Early Deuce" Forum.

If you have an M135, M211, M215, M217, M220, M221 or any other G749 and haven't posted pictures of them here, let's bring these trucks together.

A couple of pictures of the ones that were forgotten, then what they look like alive.

Here's pics of the 302 in my '52 m211.

 

[Gunfreak25]

Cool! Do the 302's use cast iron pistons or are the aluminum? Now I want another M211 with the original drivetrain in it. There is a man selling a really nice one in Phoenix AZ for $5500 obo, he said he has no idea what it's worth and is open to offers. Zero rust and a real gem.

Hi Guys,
Here are some pics of Canadian M135's while they were in service. Note the roof rack and m38a1 with recoilless rifle mount.
cheers

[uss sterett]

got the beast home, 2.5 days 120 miles not the best trip but shes home in one piece under its own power

 

[Danger Ranger]

Was that the one on craigslist? Nice score.

 

[hendersond]

Nice. Mine took 5 attempts and 3 months to go 700 miles. Did you have problems?

 

[hendersond]

holly scrap! I just did the math. The chase truck put on 3,800 miles! when gas was $4 a gallon, 15mpg, 253 gallons, $1,012 in gas for the chase truck, motels, meals, 1 radiator, 2 fuel pumps, $100 on plumbing, days off of work, $520 on gas for the deuce, and a new walmart boat gas tank strapped to the roof. Do you know how far you can drive across South Dakota on 5 gallons of gas before you have to pull over and climb up on the roof to refill?

I do.

Hint: do it between midnight and 0500 so no one can see you.

How was your trip?
