Oh, if you decide to change everything. My advice is to go diesel. I went big block gasser and then diesel. Don’t be like me. Skip the intermediate step.
Most of us have done what you optioned about. Our trucks are more usable to us now but worth less than an all stock one resale.
Stock in good tune. It should be able to run 60 or better on flat ground all day long. It will sound like it is about to throw parts all over the road, but all day...
The Gasser M35 trucks are kind of the red headed step child of the MV world. Thousands of them existed yet parts are hard to find because most every organization or person that owned them just threw everything away to convert to multifuel. Memphis and Antelope Valley have had parts when I call...
There is an amazing number of people selling all the body parts for those trailers. That is just cut and weld work.
I got one myself a few years ago that had been sitting for a number of years. You already have tires. I would suggest wiring and bearings next. Which means you need to decide if...
I have held off commenting for a few days now because it seems you are just stumbling around with multiple problems asking us to help with different ones at random. Once you mentioned the starter issues. I had to jump in.
The first thing to do when trying to figure out anything on the 6.2...
I failed to mention yesterday that I put a M35A2 harness in my 1952 M35 Gasser when I redid it 10 years ago. As mentioned above, flame heater wire repurposed to the distributor and pretty much everything else worked out perfect.
I couldn't believe the price of a M35 of any generation rear...
Depends on what year Gasser you have. Both of my REO Gasser trucks had Douglas fittings for most of the wire connections and the 3 lever switch had two instead of one cannon plug going to it.
If you put in a new On/Off switch with Packard fittings, a new single plug 3 lever and light buckets...
The CUCV afterglow normally happens without turning the light on. All of mine never have the light come back on after engine start. However, watching the volt meter I can see it is happening. Duration depends on temperature as mentioned above.
The CUCV volt meters are not very accurate. I...
I still have a brand new in the huge military foam filled box glass. I just can’t remember which side it is. Either way, the box is 8x4x1. Not something easy to ship as is.
It is going to rain for sure this weekend now. I pulled the hard top off the M715 this evening. They say no rain until maybe Sunday and I plan to drive home after dark Saturday. What could go wrong?
We have several people saying different things several post apart with other people saying there thing in between. Unfortunately, I will just continue the trend.
With the puller i have. I put the pointed tip on and used it like a regular puller. Nothing is different on the puller part.
Yes...
Dang Rich. Loosening an injector line while it is running will let you hear the sound go away.
I have to write this too. My GEP is the loudest engine I have. The mechanical noise is just terrible. I have messed with the timing, loosened injector lines trying to find a bad cylinder, replaced...
