Well, the project is still very stalled and a long way from being close to complete or even in paint. I decided I'm not going to do USAF OD on the truck but 3 color Nato Camo. As time has gone on my ideas for the project have changed or morphed. Thanks.

The M135/211 brakes if working properly with stop on a dime and give you back 9 cents change. The system is very good provided everything is working properly. Unless you are planning on driving the truck everyday I wouldn't worry about splitting the system. Make them work good and enjoy.

Yep put a good coat of flat forest green on it and get some phone stuff that was suppose to be in the truck and take it to the shows. Or give it to me if you can't work on it....lol!

CONGRATS! Nothing more satisfying than when you get to fire up for the first time!

The 5 ton will pull that duce with no problems, but as porky said pull the drive shafts. It is very easy to leave the transfer case in gear and you'll burn it up flat towing it. Trust me I learned the hard way. With the drive shafts pulled it should be an easy pull. Also is that a gas M54 or a...

Did you get the motor and trans in? Cause in some of the pics it was missing....

It looks more like a Colonel to me. But then again with those eyes it could be a LT. Not a Butter Bar but more like a Shaved Tail.

Nice Job! Your Mutt looks great! Enjoy the ride they are so much fun to drive! Congrats on a job well done!

Nice find. It might have been a contract truck used for base maintenance or something like that so it makes it "a military" vehicle. Fix it up, paint it a new coat of OD and enjoy. Keep posting pictures of your progress.

To translate do you have the metal connectors (Douglas) or the Rubber connectors (Packard).

Check your valves and your timing make sure something hasn't gone out of whack. Also with the 302 check to see if you have a exhaust manifold leak. On the 302 it's not a matter of if you will have one but when.

Well that takes me back to my original statement of betting a delivery truck box and putting that on. Should give you lots of leg room. Basically the same as a cracker box truck just not connected through the cab.

God love you Nathan. You are a good man for taking on such a project, but if the truck can be saved then it is worth it. You will probably have to fabricate the bed since it's gone on the truck! Wish I lived closer I would totally be spending time helping you if I could, but OH to CA is a...

The issued riffle mount that was designed for the M14/M16 will work with just about any riffle/shotgun. I've seen folks put and M1 in them, Mossburg 590's Remington 870s etc. Want additional to the one mount just put in two.

There are videos on the web on how to rebuild them. Wish those were around when I had my M211, but the net was just a little baby back then....LOL!

When I had my M151 I just took the plate that holds the spare on and put a bolt through it. Then attached the disk for the MP markings. This way if you needed to change the tire you took the disk off then undid the spare tire like normal. Was an easy mod to do and if I wanted to display the...

You are good to go! You have the coax adapter I was talking about. Everything looks good. Enjoy your tunes!

Did you have the head side of the manifolds machined also to make sure you got a true seat and fit? Just wondering. Looking good. Keep up the good work!

I agree with Wire Fox that just about any military antenna will work because you are in receive mode only. **** a coat hanger or a random length of wire will work. The only thing you may have to look for is an adapter to go from the coax connector on the feed cable to the antenna port on the...

I don't remember the gauge of the metal on the M211 I had, but I know it was very thin (18 maybe?) and the welder I had would blow holes through it when I tried to weld in new metal. I had to get a lower heat/power range welder to work on it.
