    M135/211 tanker (fire truck) with odd specs?

    That is a GMC, the wheels are the M211 type. Lots of mods on that one, the entire bed/tank is shop made, the cab top is shop made, the fuel tank is shop made. With the original automatic transmission gone, you have no low range for crawling. Probably all 12 volt converted. GMCs do just fine...

    Backfiring

    Likely rust particles are getting sucked out of the tank and fouling your fresh rebuilt carb.

    New to me MV

    That is a CJ, probably a CJ-2A, probably 1947.

    Where do the hoses end up on the other end?

    '86 M998 No Wait Light, Nothing

    Now is the time to send your burnt box to CAMOTEKSYSTEMS.COM and never worry about it again.

    Sorry...Another M101a1 wheels/tire question

    That system is called "Budd" and has been around since the 1930's and still used today, thread 3/4-16. Any HD truck supply house will have that lug nut in stock by the bucket full. A good source: Vintage Power Wagons - Vintage Dodge Truck Online Parts Catalog

    '86 M998 No Wait Light, Nothing

    I would suspect the smart start box. The relays inside probably burned up.

    Old tent, how do I put this up?

    Here you go. Poles are listed in figure 14.

    M931A2 engine/trans power restrictions

    For that duty you are fine with the 8.3/Allison with modest power increases. The 920 with it’s walking beam suspension will not be a good choice for a camper.

    M931A2 engine/trans power restrictions

    The Cat 7155 comes with it’s own set of issues, it can handle huge power but is full of finicky o rings that fail and then you are broke down. Most people end up swapping in a Eaton/Fuller. I haven’t yet. Mine still works perfectly.

    1952 REO M41

    Are there unit markings on the rear bumperettes that match what is on the front bumper? Not entirely sure what the front markings mean. And the font is a bit big for US Army.

    Old tent, how do I put this up?

    Is the picture of the pitched tent an example of what you have? Does your tent have stenciled data painted on it anywhere? The poles you have pictured look like GP medium poles.

    1952 REO M41

    Reo never made military 5 ton trucks. Just IH and Diamond T at first, then Kaiser Jeep later on in the 1960s.

    M1045 a2 ticking noise

    Ticking might be a valve lifter.

    1952 REO M41

    “I H Co” is International Harvester. Back then, Diamond T was not yet merged with Reo Motors.

    1952 REO M41

    Can you post a picture of the main data plate on the dash? Curious who the mfgr is, these were typically made by International or Diamond T.

    1952 REO M41

    I have one original combat wheel for that truck, PM if interested.
