    1952 gmc 6x6 replacement engine?

    Either engine would be good, just a bit of fab work, will need a trick toque converter ( the 6.5 might be a bolt up), I would not worry about the front drive, ect., if you use the oe trans, the trans is based on a tricked up caddy trans, cast iron case. A 52 caddy weighed as much as the truck...

    M52A1 Fifth wheel mounting question

    Are you SURE the fifth wheel is NOT off a 931/932, these 5th wheels are wider and use the angle iron , the 39/809 series (m52/m818, m819) used the same frame width 5th wheel.

    A Frame Crane(s)?

    In vn, we had some m52s with behind the cab winches, with telescoping gin polls that were used to self unload. The polls pined on to the rear lift brackets, the stays hooked into brackets in front of the winch. When not in use, the polls fit in brackets on each side of the frame, under the 5th...

    Transmission options

    As far as the front drive shaft goes, you can always put in as many U-joints as needed to get around what ever trans you are using, the designers of the 939 series had to use 1 U-joint to get around the Allison.

    Transmission options

    They are not that pricy, the clutch is a big jaw clutch, you could build up the jaws, then machine them down, BUT you need to find out WHY not full engagement. I have seen the shifting yolk bent from someone trying to force the clutch to engage when the jaws are not lined up.

    Transmission options

    The hydraulic DRIVE for the front winch on a 809/39 series truck WILL NOT clear the radiator, the 939 radiator is notched for the drive, one way to get around the radiator issue, is to run the mechanical drive but instead of a pto, mount the hydraulic motor to the frame, then drive the winch...

    Transmission options

    You can drive in low/r. the reason that the military say NO, is that young GI only knows how to drive with the foot to the floor, he "thinks" that a little power moves the truck so MORE power will move it faster, so as soon as the the truck gets traction, with a lot of power, something breaks...

    Call me, 703-389-6705, nothing is wrong, the sprag shifts into reverse when going into reverse, comes out of reverse into forward as SOON as you shift out of reverse.

    Unknown, But Probably Missing Plug

    The point I was trying to make was ,people need to try to help themselves if they want us to help, READING the -10 is a must for self help, If someone does not have time to read the -10, then we do not have to offer a answer without a comment.

    I've got a dumb question

    This IS WHY you SHOULD read the -10 BEFORE driving the truck, not after something happens
