No. I've not found a source for those other than at some of the major surplus parts dealers. I believe there are some Anco wipers and arms that people have used as an upgrade.
Not that I am aware of. I did not notice that it ate anything away, but it sure penetrated some rust that had been there a long time caused by corrosive blackpowder. That was on an original US Model 1861 Springfield.
I would check with McMaster-Carr for that bolt if you haven't already found some.
For the stuck engine, if what you have in there shows no sign of working, I would try Kroil. I've used it to free 150 year old seized gun parts with success. Pretty sure your truck hasn't been stuck that long...
It is page 357 in TM 9-8024. I don't mind the wait at all. If you find something that will work, I would be just as happy with a part number so I can order whatever it is to keep on hand. I plan to keep these trucks a while and will probably need it more than once.
It was not very bad at all...
Yes. Our soft tops have a canvas back panel. I might even have a complete set of soft top canvas that would work if someone was good at canvas repair. It is the set that is shown in my avatar. The top is faded and there is a tear on the front but I can't remember how big it is.
The cutout is...
Yes. That is it. I want to adjust the linkage like the TM says, but it seems like having that tool to get the distance correct is very important. Mine is shifting great, but the front wheels won't engage in reverse when the rears slip. I don't want to mess with it without the tools and then get...
OkieM1008morrison picked up a set of mirrors for me for the M135. I have never seen this type before. The mirrors themselves are replacements but the arms are definitely military. Has anyone seen this type before? The bolt holes line up perfectly on the M135. I really like them and they seem...
The list of things to do on the truck keeps getting smaller. The middle axle output oil seal on the transfer case had been replaced and everything put back how the TM says. There is zero play in it now.
The middle axle pinion seal has been replaced along with the sleeve the seal fits over...
I have 2 MM panels for you. I owe you some parts anyway. PM me where I need to send them.
I did find one hardtop a year ago and it was easier to leave the RR panels, window panels and back panel that has the rear window attached. Like this.
1944mb might be driving down here to visit in...
Surplus Parts Source section added to the parts list.
I have added this section so we can easily find those that have large quantities of surplus G749 parts available. I know in the past, a few have posted in the classifieds with many parts available and the adds have been lost to time. Just...

Might compare prices with the places NDT mentioned.
I might have found the number for those but will confirm first. I ordered some NOS hoses from Tom and am going to use them as vent hoses since I already had new manufactured brake hoses installed.
I've finally got some parts gathered again and will start on transfer case seals, pinion seal and replacing u-joints here soon.
I got these from Tom Wolboldt here on Steel Soldiers. The parts are all in very good condition. Tom has been great to deal with and has very reasonable prices. He also...
