Yes, just 2wd. My original intent was to make it 4wd. Had it all worked out. Just using the factory pillow block, drive shaft thru the grill, radiator behind the cab. But i'd have to put the truck on air bags to get the look i wanted and pump it up to make it a useful 4x4. that woulda put me way...

My latest G749 series build. Not really military anymore but.. I'm sure some of you hot rod guys will appreciate it.

Great idea. Looks good.

I just keep imagining the look on Jonny-Import-Tuners face. When he realizes he just got smoked at a red light, by an old army truck... Priceless!

Just wanted to share. Not my build. Spotted this on net, not sure if you guys seen this one. Says CUCV body on C5 corvette chassis. Even seems to have vett dash and seats. I know FAR from military. But still pretty sweet.

Great build. Looks awesome.

Thanks Henderson. I'll check what thread I need and I'll let you know. As for your quad cab. Do I understand correctly, your gonna cut your frame. Add a section, lengthening your wheelbase. Then you could use a full bed, not a shortened one like mine... THAT, would be a beast!!

Thanks VTD. Good idea, I'll call Alfa Monday. And yes Plowboy I'm still around. Been a little busy on a new 749 project. Think a few of you guys will like it. I hope to have it completed in two weeks. I'll post pics when it's done.

Just wondering if any of you guys have a source for tie rod ends. One of mine is toast. Checked Alfa Heavens site, no luck. Any ideas? Thanks, Ray.

Thanks jersey jeep. I actually disconnected the vent line. No luck. No matter, took truck out today and, I think, head gasket let go! Never owned a vehicle like this. Its one thing after another with this truck. May be parting it out soon.. I'll post what I have. Thanks again.

Please help! The brakes on my M135 are driving me crazy.. Heres what I got... .new master cylinder ."rebuilt" air pac, I purchased, that HISS'S air continuously. But seems to work OK. .pulled and wheel cylinders, cleaned and honed the OK looking ones. .replaced 6 wheel cylinders that were beyond...

Thanks jwentz. That's so true only people in the hobby know. 9 out of 10 have no clue it was modified. You just don't see to many 749 series driving arround.

. ''Finding an easy way to re-power the G-749 is important. Not many guys keep at it and bring them to running condition because they are a pig so unless 'support' continues, more will look like this! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?51721-Can-you-find-the-MV-in-this-photo ''...

I respct the purist point of view.. I don't even mind them breaking my stones. But.. We have to admit, the M35 guys have all the coolest modded rigs. We gotta step it up.. Can't let them have all the fun!!:smile:

Yes, wheels look pretty awesome. How bout 211 offset and rims..just don't run the inner rim?? Think it would work? I also like how theirs no metal arch to the upper windshield frame.. Much lower roofline.. Almost looks like a chopped top!

Thanks Freak. The hi way driving is gonna be a killer with the th400. If finance improve I'll start looking for a reasonabaly priced 700r. I'm hoping to put some serious miles on it this summer. Just thinking out loud... Gunfreak, hendersond, sec8, plow boy, hick and a the others. Not to...

Gunfreak.. Just the man I wanted to talk to. First off, thanks. And yes I'm gonna repower. I wasn't quite sure if the 700r4 would hold op to a big block and 14,000 lbs. To be honest I was just gonna wait and see how long yours lasted, before I buy one:) 4L80's are WAY outa my price range...

Yo timob1, Just read thru your thread, good stuff,cant wait for more updates. Wondering if you fixed your front bumper/frame problem.. if not their may be another option.. I have a n old copy of MV magazine, theirs pics of the prototype M135's. They had straight bumpers. I think they look pretty...
