Great! Any chance you could get some video of the truck driving?

I doubt this would cause the lock up issue you are experiencing, but what kind of fluid are you running it?

Many of us here feel your pain as well! Glad to see that you almost have it fixed, a lot of other people would have given up by now and just scrapped the thing or parted it out for cash. Your either really hard headed or a glutton for punishment like me. Actually, anyone who...

That's great that you found the problem and are willing to fix it, too many people today just throw something away if it don't work right. Whatever happened to good old fashioned small repair shops? Anyway, I bet you'll have it going in no time! Hopefully the other one on your parts truck is in...

That's a good idea on the manual, that way you don't have to worry about getting it dirty either. I've found some pics in my manual would be alot more useful if they were larger too. I would agree with your second post as well. Follow the manuals to a T and everything will be working the way...

Like I said, the manual(s) is are idiot proof. :lol: I swear there's probably an entire chapter dedicated to rolling down your windows in my book somewhere. According to my manual it say's, "Do not attempt to adjust the rear band. Rear band adjusts automatically with vehicle in normal...

If you can still find one, Memphis Equipment used to sell REB shift kits that allowed you to use your stock Hydramatic like a manual tranny. The second easiest option would be to put a Clark 5 speed transmission in from a CCKW. Both were very common conversions in the day when CCKW's and G749...

I have both the original paperback 686 page manual AND all 6 parts of the TM from the site on my PC. One must never depend solely on modern technology to find information. :D A book does not require electricity and can fit neatly inside the map box. At $30 plus postage PLUS the fact it's an...

It's a darn shame you are so far away, otherwise i'd make you an offer on one of those hardtops. I could really use one of them :(

Wow! Calling you lucky WAS an understatement. :lol: Sounds like you know how to turn a wrench too, your going to love it! :D

First off, you are one lucky dog to get a free truck like that. Let alone two! The second one is probably best suited as a parts truck as putting axles back under it would probably cost more than what full complete trucks are worth. The M135/M211 series is an excellent truck and to be quite...

Your talking about high range reverse. From what I hear it was a design flaw in the Hydramatic, someone more knowledgeable than I can probably give the exact reason on why LOW range reverse only must be used.
