It may not be a bad idea to use a sand blaster and blow the crud away and THEN use the PB spray that I love dearly for headachy bolts and nuts. $.02 I just started using a high pressure washer to chip away the silly red paint that seems common on these trucks. It is nice to work your way down...

Thanks for the heads up. I will bring these various points up with the shop. Woohoo!!!

Hi All, My truck is in the shop for sticking brakes. Symptoms were: come to a stop and then take the foot off the brakes and hit the gas and not move, eventually ended up putting into low range to get the beast out of the awkward intersection. I suspected that the brake lines, being on the...

Just a thought, when and if you break up the M135 you will have a truck load of parts kicking around causing bruises etc. Let us know what you have and people are rather likely to take bits off your hands. Have at it! Mine is almost out of the shop for repairs I didn't have the time to address...

Several hundred pounds. According to the manual best to take out with the transmission too.

Hi, Read through this topic from another website, and read the one from Unimogr. It was via his connection in Maine, I was able to get my M135 registered in MA. http://forum.newjo.org/index.php?showtopic=5253&hl=m135 with a minimum of fuss and a bit of "english" i was able to cover all the...

Good evening! It is nice to have you aboard. I would have to agree that the $$ is a little high for what you are getting in terms of a driver. Although the engine is fairly easy to work on, and it is alleged that this is a gasser, the rest of the vehicle has not been tested. These machines are...

There is a place in Lewiston ME with close to 50 deuces if not more. They seem to be holding the ground from escaping. The place is called Schotts harley-davidson. I wished they would take better care of their inventory, but in this scenario, it would work.

I am not looking for anything in particular, but it would be nice to peruse. I may end up with a M211 which has an iffy motor. I am thinking about scoring a cab and make a quad cab for kicks on the extra truck. the M135 will remain close to original, but the 211 would be the toy and be a clean...

All, Is anyone aware of a good (mil/truck) recycler in the Mass/New Hampshire area. It is hard to find parts for the M135 without resorting to NOS from the normal sources. Plus my eyes like to wander!! :wink:

I was thinking about the civvy dristrbutor myself and the thought came up about vacuum advance. Does the civvy one have it and if so how did you supply the vacuum. Was there a noticeable performance change with the pertronix? My current issue seems to be spark related on my truck now. I have...

Get ahold of the TM 9-8024 manual. Yes that bar is supposed to be straight. I did the exhaust on mine from one end to the other. I collected most of the parts over time on ebay and then got the big pipe that leaves the muffler and up the side from Memphis. They do not have many left so grab...

Try Sam Winer in Akron Ohio or Memphis equipment in Chambersburg, PA and ask for Mark. I was just there on Monday, which is why it took so long to reply.

I purchased one from Memphis as well and installed last weekend. That job is a piece of cake, only 4 bolts!! Then came the other projects at the dash, replacing the manual throttle cable. It really helps to lie upside down on the seat for this one, block the wheels in case you bump the e-brake...

Good Morning, The ignition is exactly the same in principle. The only difference, besides the 24V, is that the wires from the distributor to the plugs are shielded. It still has points on the inside and the various capacitors and resisters involved. You can do the rest of the diagnosing with a...

Hi, Take a look: http://www.memphisequipment.com/Products/gmc2_5ton.asp This gives you some of the basic specifications. Those who post here have a lot more personal information concerning these trucks. I have a 1952 M135 that is fairly stock. You may find that some people may disparage the...

What else do you have for sale? I am slowly building a parts inventory.

All, I contacted Memphis equipment on another item and casually asked this very question as I could use one as well. As a result: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33584&item=7982226956&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Have at it!!!

How big is the hole? Check the metal with a magnet. If the hole is small enough, JB weld??
