Sorry for Delay, AC/Delco has discontinued as well as Standard. If you can get one buy it.

A few weeks ago Gov-Planet was auctioning parts for Growlers, rear steer assemblies. Keep an eye on the auctions as there has to be a cache of maintenance parts somewhere.

There are so many things that have been worked out with the 80 that have cost cash to fix when things went sour. The suggestion of buying the kit is just that, a suggestion. The problems have been for the most part re engineered to make the swap more trouble free. There are different ways of...

Have you removed the seal yet? The seal may have a manufacturer's part number on it.

I will have my contact at AC/Delco check the number or for a change in availability. Seems to me that I have never replaced mine and maybe I should get one for grins. Every time I start my diesels I check to see that it has engaged the throttle pedal and when the air cleaner is off I check for...

Right or wrong I use anti-seize on mine. And check at regular intervals like oil changes.

Well one problem helped, just make sure all grounds are clean and check with voltmeter that all contacts are in good condition. Now to conquer all fuel lines, flexible and do not rule out that hardlines may be compromised as well.

Congrats on getting the M38 back and running. Now you can pick one problem at a time and fix, adjust. I agree that an off idle carb problem may be the problem. Try spraying some gumout in the carb while it is running and spray some in the vent tube to get inside the float bowl. You may get...

The Bronco looks to be in Great shape also, yours?

I had 400ci engines added simple mods, cams, carbs, intakes, headers, ignition systems, 4 gear K30's, and they do drink the fuel under load. They can and do have some drag. Pulling 6 ton skidder plus trailer I would get 8mpg and hope for 10. But under mid throttle and plenty of torque left...

Wow 20 ton steam hammer. How old is that machine? DO you plan on using that Robo. Is that like a shaping metal hammer or more like for stamping forgings? Looking close it looks kind of mid century and very good condition. I bet that could make some horse shoes.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. A few pictures would help but the trailer is perhaps the G-518 OR THE G-527. Variants K52 K63 K63A V15 M24 M25A M25B You can do a Forum Search and find further information. Good Reading

Good foundation, that is a good beginning. :p Now it is a decision to stay with 24 or switch to 12 volt. With the intention of staying with Military truck restoration or with modifying truck to have more creature comforts.

Let me add that buying a truck for parts is another maybe cheaper alternative than buying parts singly. Just depends on your expectations.

What is your long term goal for the truck? Are you trying to get back to Military issue or for your acceptable use? I ask because the parts are still available but it will not be to much longer that some things will not be available unless you want to pay a premium price, and some parts already...

Yes there are both 12 volt direct drive and gear reduction starters available from AC/Delco. I have an 82 K30 that I went to gear reduction starter, lighter and easier installation, and I am very pleased with it. I have probably 15 plus years on it now. Went to Chevrolet dealer and bought a...

Right side directional works but not left. Check the all the running light bulb sockets for corrosion. Start front as water will get in there easiest. Then rear, the gaskets on the lenses will deteriorate with age, water gets trapped and the current is the magnet for water to collect and...

Is that the fuel or air tank?
