AREA52- I will take more pictures of the engine compartment this weekend when I am back there working on the truck.
Monkeyboyarmy- I saw the missing bolt and the one next to it that was really loose. These are some of the reasons I didn't drive it the two hours home when I picked it up. My...
I is a five speed but the 4th and 5th gear positions on the shift are reverse of the dash tag shift pattern. I can see a date of 6-17-67 on the transfer case. The other numbers/letters are hard to read.
Anyone heard of SARF?
RDUKW- yeah, I didn't get home from the desert until midnight. I can come pick up the trailer latter today if that works for you? It would be great if I could get the filters from you. I am trying to get out there Friday to get the old fuel out and replace the filters. Would love to be able to...
So maybe I just need the winch cable and hardware? It has the drive shaft connected but the PTO is not installed yet. The PTO is in the back of the truck. It sounds like the tranny was upgraded to the spicer 3053A. I hope the PTO will still work with this tranny.
Recovry4x4- I bought the truck from someone that owned a storage facilty and had obtained the truck via lien. The truck was owned by a guy that collected and sold rare vehicles. I am not sure if the guy restored and upgraded it privately but that is the feeling I am getting. It seems pretty...
Markmontana - Wow, they only made 1100! Cool. My big piece of history. I would think the truck is of more value being that old and in good shape.
USAFSS-Coldwar- Thank you! Cheers.
M813RC - It looks like the bed was upgraded along with the tranny.
Warthog- I already feel it comeing on...
I guess it has a newer tranny in it from what I was told. The 4th and 5th gear positions are swicted so the shift pattern does not match the illustration on the dash. Does this sound right? What might this tranny be if 4th and 5th gears are switched?
Thanks eveyone! I thinks it's extra cool because it's a 1954 in great shape. I have not see to many 1950's models in the wild. They have all probably been updated already.
Hi All,
I just picked up this truck and was wondering if I did good or not. It's a 1954' M54 Cargo Multifuel. There is a sticker on the bed that says SARF Saudi Arabia Redistribution Facility. I am would like to learn more about this truck and since it's a good running 1954 I think it probably...
Hi Everyone. Yesterday I picked up a 1954' M54 Multifuel in So Cal. I am pumped to have picked up this truck. It sat for a few years I believe but we aired up the tires, bleed the breaks and drove it approx 30 miles with no major issues. It had two flats and stalled several times because of bad...
Trying to get my new truck to meet you guys!
Hi All. I just found this website and thread. I just purchased my first MV. Yesterday I picked up a 1954' M54 cargo truck. I would like to come stop by and visit for a few coldies and help clean up if that's cool? Is this an open invite if you "fit...
