There were transfer forms in the glove box that listed the NSN, registration etc. The registration number was the same as what was painted on the truck. There were several layers of the same registration number. At the top layer of paint, the numbers were vinyl stick ons and below they were...

Gunfreak, I gave my info to Carnac just as soon as I picked up our truck. He could find nothing. I am guessing it might be because of the time the truck was with Harry Diamond Labs, it might have dropped off the radar so to speak. Still, it was at the last under ATEC and only recently put on...

No, The specs call for ATD center. It does make a difference in pulling power. Top RPM suffers, but off road hill climbing is much better (at least at 9,000 to 11,000 feet in elevation.) My Brother-in-laws M37 resides at 8,300 feet and goes up from there. His truck is stock at 4 degrees ATDC. I...

I am old enough to remember changing T-stats between summer and winter as a part of the regular service on some older cars. The usual switch was from 180 to 195 for winter and back to 180 for summer. Worn out engines got a 160 in the summer to keep the oil from thining too much. I had an engine...

I am really interested in what you find out! Since your M220 Jimmy was painted white at one time and you are in Yuma, I assume your truck finished up its military service with Yuma Proving Ground like mine did. I could not find unit markings on the OD paint under the white paint (the markings on...

Joe, Did you ever go back to that scrap yard? What is the deal on that XM791. I assume it resides/resided somewhere around Colorado Springs? Bob

My son mentioned his old parents were electric car dealers in the late 70's. The Amsoil controversy was alive and well then as well. Suffice it to say that the local Electric Vehicle Club chock full of University Professors, and other science types set out to find ways to extend the range of...

Imagine how big that wish will be when you are 71 !!

If you want to prolong the thread, consider the physics or chemistry of "cold start fluids." Most diesel engine people in colder climes know there are differences between different brands of starting fluids. Our John Deere implement dealer had a brand of "ether" that is particullary effective...

Looks like a propane/butane start aid to me also. The ether cans from John Deere are smaller (shorter).

If you are really interested in the original unit markings, there may be changes through the military life of the vehicle. My M220 had black unit markings stenciled on under a coat of white paint and then vinyl markings on the final coat. The vehicle number and ID were the same, but there were...

Now Y'all have me looking through my old photos for the lift rig I built for my M37 way back in the late 60's. I made it out of 1" box tubing and trussed two tubes together and joined the two pairs at the top with a loop to hang my snatch block. It set on the front bumper lift brackets and was...

I am interested in parts as well. My son wanted a GMC of his own to restore so maybe we are interested. I will give my son a call. We can haul it ourselves.

I have not stayed at a Holiday Inn Express lately so I am no expert. I have yet to tear in to our Air Pack, but my consultations with our MVCC member who is a mobile brake repair shop did include a lengthy discussion about how the air pack can allow fluid to leak into the air side. This does...

What is the NSN for the air pack repair kits for these trucks? Is it 2530-741-0844? The box also has DA-20-113-AMC-10581T C=10/66. Just curious if this is the kit for the air pack. Thanks Marti I found this old post that wonders about the NSN. Not sure if this is the right number, but I will...

rebuild kit I too am interested in a rebuild kit for my M220 air pack. However, I do have time frames. I need to be running in time for the Denver St. Patrick's Day parade on the 12th of March.

Waiting to hear what you have!!! Any rear bumpers?

I had heard that the M35 deuce looked similar to the M211/M135 air pack, but was different internally. Then I have heard the 5 ton air pack had some of the same internal parts as the M35. If I understand your post correctly, you are saying the 5 ton air pack kit will cover most of the parts for...

2nd answer first. Compressed air over hydraulic. I am working on the air pack booster parts/supply myself. I just contacted another MVCC member in Colorado Springs who runs a mobile brake service. We had a discussion at the airshow and he opined he had some rebuild kits in stock. Turns out the...

I should have checked with 70 deuce before I did my camo paint job. I used some rattle cans and tried to make the patterns by spraying one over the other. It was hard to get a sharp edge. On the bright side, the over spray sort of blends the colors, but the paint pattern does not match the...
