How did we fail to tell him? Sorry bro. We'll try to warn the next guy since it is too late for you.

Well....where is it? Just going to leave us hanging like that? :razz:

I believe the markings are original. The truck was purchased out of Ft. Leonard Wood on July 17, 1972. I have the SF-97 that came with it. The previous\first owner after the truck came from the Army would not have changed them. He brought the truck home and there it sat until I bought it a few...

Hopefully that is an easy fix. The truck looks like it is in good shape. Do you plan on leaving it that color or are you going to go with a military style paint job?

I have been told that these are 5th Army markings. Not MP but may give you an idea.

Anyone find any new part numbers lately that are not on our list? http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?137722-G749-Parts-List

Can the old tubes that leak be patched or is that a no-no on truck tires? It is raining 11.00x20's at the moment. My brother just singled out his M818 and is giving me the tires that came off of it. Will be August before I pick them up. Looks like I have 14 Titan T Hawk 373's and 3 Coopers.

OkieM1008morrison and I did some trading and I ended up with 7 really nice 11.00X20's that are near new. I am thinking about taking a set of wheels off of one of my parts trucks, cleaning them all up and putting these tires on. Does anyone know of a good source for liners and tubes?

Looks great! Need more pictures when you get a chance!!!

I have two nice spare tire carriers that I don't need. If only we were closer.... I looked on your YouTube channel and don't see but the one video uploaded. No heater video. Maybe that is your problem?

I really wish I could have made it, but work schedule did not allow. Please post up pictures when you guys have time.

Sure looks like a rifle holder to me! That is neat! Looking forward to more pictures of the heater and everything else you are working on. Here is your YouTube video over here so you can focus on more new stuff. Subscribed! :popcorn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_yEVAziBlw

I used the cheapo brand since there was no Hy-tran locally available at the time. :oops: The information with it said that it meets all the Hy-tran stuff. Sure seems to work better than the ATF that was in it. Time will tell I guess. Here is some info on what I used. Super Tech Heavy-Duty...

I think they call it Hy-tran. That is what I am using in mine right now. Sure hope it works. Here is the link for you. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?17023-Hydramatic-Heaven

Neat project!

It sounded a lot like a big sewing machine when we finished up the adjustments. The carburetor is my next thing to look at. It was rebuilt a few months ago, but I think the float is not set right. It tries to load up when it has been idling for a little bit and floods easy if I pump the pedal...

I learned how to adjust the intake and exhaust valves yesterday. All of my exhaust valves were a few thousandths of an inch too tight as was one or two of the intake valves. That old 302 really started purring after everything was set according to the TM and Bob Kettler's "GMC Tech Tips".

Oh man! Glad you are OK. Thanks for posting this up. Good learning material.

Can't wait to see your truck painted!!

As most of you know, I purchased a military hardtop for my M135 the other day. It is in really nice shape, but the insulation will need to be replaced due to age. The insulation in it is dry and brittle. It is black and appears to be made of the same foam material that the military sleeping...
