That is awesome! Your truck sounds really good.

I would give $1500 for that truck. Look what you could turn it into.

hendersond is right on. I just did the brakes on mine too. Even with putting all new wheel cylinders on, one just sprung a leak. These trucks are a lot of work but are a lot of fun too. If the truck is as nice as you say, $1500 sounds good if the transmission is in working order. Pictures would...

Depends on what you get into. If you have to get brakes relined, new wheel cylinders, all new seals, gaskets, master cylinder and airpak, maybe some wheel bearings??...$1500+ I would take the radiator to a shop and see if it can be rebuilt or repaired if it is in fact bad. Not really any new...

Here are a couple of those camo patterns I was talking about.

That is a great looking truck. Sorry I couldn't stay and help you get it going. Sounds good in the video!

That looks like a neat project. maccus...just noticed the truck in your avatar. Are you hiding something from us? I don't see any posts\photos about that truck from you if you own it.

The Canadian Military camo paint scheme that I have seen on some of these trucks looks really cool. Maybe some of the Canadian guys will post photos of it. I'll try to find some pictures and post them up for you in a day or two if our northern brothers don't beat me to it.

My brother was in Oklahoma City for the weekend and brought 10 of the 1100X20's off his 5 ton for me to put on the M135's. He put super singles on his M818. Looks like I have a bunch of tires to break down so I can put them on M135 rims. The work never stops, but I am happy with the tires...

TM 9-8647 came in today. It goes into a lot of detail on rebuilding our carburetors and governors. I highly recommend buying it if any of you have the chance. Lots of pictures too. I'll try to scan what is specific to the Holley 885-FFG and post it up here for all of us. More carburetor kits...

Just checked the one on my M135 at the house and it looks just like yours. Mine does not have play in the steering. I'll try to get by two of my other M135's later this week and check those.

Ok. Tested the fuel pressure and it is exactly 4 psi. The TM says the fuel pump pressure is 2.5 - 3 psi. Would 1 psi extra cause the fuel to blow past the needle and flood the bowl? I have not tried a gravity fed line from a fuel can yet.

I think it is something simple. Hopefully the fuel pressure. Will report back as soon as I can.

I have the stock fuel pump but have not checked to see how much pressure it is putting out. I will do that. Feels that way sometimes. I will check that. What regulator did you use? I found the Holley 12-804 and was considering that if the pressure from my stock military pump is too high.

Check this link out on the airpak rebuild. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?70703-M220-AirPak-rebuild I'll be attempting it in the near future as well.

I finally got a chance to look at my carburetor this weekend. It was rebuilt in December, but is still not right. I thought maybe the float was set wrong and that was what was making it flood easy and load up at idle. The truck runs great at highway speeds (I stay around 45 mph), but stumbles...

That is a good looking M211!!! I would add a fuel filter just before the carburetor to keep things from plugging up. There is a screen inside the carburetor just above where the fuel line connects. That is probably full of junk. Here is a picture of what I am talking about. Please forgive the...

Yep. I started out with just one..... Sorry I can't help you out ma'am.

I have some of the boots at home. I'll look and see if I have enough for 12 wheel cylinders. I just called the local Napa and they have some of the boots in stock. PM sent to you.

Looks good! Where did you find that? Any part numbers?
