    Why did the American trucks get issued with canvas tops, and only the shop vans get isued wih steel tops?

    Yes sir, don't worry. How do you get a video uploaded here? I have one of my M211 when I got running after getting it unseized, but am unsure of how to do it.

    No, they are aluminum, and the name Zolnner (?) is cast into them. That's what's in my M211 engine.

    :grd: this one originally had a coolant heater, never would have thought they could come with a gas heater. This truck went through **** and high water, much damaged stuff the old owner stripped and sold for scrap (heatercore).This truck I never started up.I had intensions to, but so much was...

    Yes. now I know what it would look like intact. I will post pictures of this truck also, she had a HARD life. Very sad condition. I like that setup better than the hood prop.

    My 1955 M211 has a prop rod, but the M135 has as you suggest drawer slides. I want to upload a video of the 211 after getting her turning, but need help.

    The unofficial g749 picture thread

    One thing I wanted to ask is on my 54 M135 there is a slotted guide on the inner LH panel by the battery tray, and what looked like an attachment for a rod to the hood but long broken off. My M211 doesn't have this feature at all, neither does the parts truck(M211 also) as this only for earlier...

    Transfer Case in the M211/135

    I will try this with my M211, I had thought of even putting her up on stands and video shifting from forward to reverse and see the front axle lock in. Have to that in my basement though, not on soft ground.

    Transfer Case in the M211/135

    Hi, thanks for the reply, ok, I'm trying to see what you mean, but what's screwing me up is when I "shift"into reverse, the linkage connected to the transmission shift tower going to the shift fork on the transfer, PULLS the ratchet clutch out of engagement with front (drive) shaft. This causes...

    Transfer Case in the M211/135

    Hello, I have questions about the transfer case in the M211/135 trucks. I took out my transfer from my M135, pulled the covers off, and looked it over. Am I seeing things, or does this T case really "unlock" the front axle when you back up? No power goes to the front axle when backing up? aua I...

    Thank you so much for the help! I kept signed in so I wouldn't have to deal with that aggravation again today. I have to say, it's nice to have people ready to help out, my next question was in fact how to upload pictures. My truck doesn't have any differences that I have noticed compared to an...

    The unofficial g749 picture thread

    I will get the requested pictures out as soon as possible. On the dash plates, it is marked M207. I didn't know what that was until doing some online searching which showed cab/chassis only. It isn't as nice looking as a lot of units shown here, but my aim is to get that way eventually! Lots of...
