Well i'm ready to start repacking my wheel bearings on my M211, but had a question for you guys. In between the two wheel bearings is an area about an inch deep and goes wheel bearing to wheel bearing. On my truck this area was full of grease, but i'm not sure if it's grease that spewed out of...
I am missing the A40 module in my PRC 77 and was wondering if anybody knows a good source on them. I have been going though a lot of diff suppliers and so far only one has one for $60. Seems a bit steep for one little part for a radio. I know that this is the module that they normally take...
I just bought my first prc77 radio and was wondering if any of you guys have a good source for parts and accessories. Mine is demilled by removing components, here is the web site on ebay with pics...
Looking at the pics of the M35 master cylinder, it looks exactly identical to my M211 one. Does anybody know if they use the same unit. I am trying to find a decently priced rebuild kit for my M211's master cylinder. If anyone has one to part with or knows where I can get a fair price I would...
Do any of you guys have a list or know of a good place to get current part # cross references? All our site has is M35 stuff and I know that there has to be cheaper places to get things like rebuild kits for master cylinders, fuel pumps, and seals than from MV part suppliers. Even the things...
Well I decided to rebuild the carb on my M37 because it needs it. Problem is that I have no idea what type of carb I have. I have a 1962 M37B1. The carb is pretty gunky and all I can make out is Ball and Ball made for chrysler. I couldn't find anything that said ETW1 or anything else that...
I just bought my first M37B1. It's a 1962, with 5800 mi on the odometer. Problem is, it doesn't run worth a dang. I can get it to start with the choke, and sometimes it will go for a bit, but as soon as I start to drive she starts to sputter and kill out (usually in the middle of a busy...
I started to tear into my brakes to inspect and check out the seals and wheel bearings and had some questions. First, there is very light rust in the inside of the housing and on the metal of the brake shoes. Can you paint these areas (excluding the actual brake pad that contacts the drum)...
I was wondering if any of you guys have current NAPA part numbers for the M211/M135? I have ORD 9 that tells me all the military and manufactures part numbers. I just started to tear into my trucks brakes and will need wheel seals and probably wheel bearings if they are bad. Some of the parts...
I'm looking at finally getting my first multifuel deuce in the form of an M109a3 shop van. I was wondering if anybody had some technical specs for them. I need to know how tall the truck is to its highest point, length, weight. I'm sure it's close to the M35a2 on length and weight, but I...
I have about half of my M211 painted and am getting ready to paint the rest and I was just wondering how you guys mix your paint. I started out by stripping the old paint off the truck down to the first layers, then I sand it all, scuff it up, wash it down to remove the dust and stripper...
I have a brand new in the unopened box REB kit for the M211/ M135 truck. I am cleaning out some of my spare parts that I won't use or don't need and the price is $400 for the kit plus shipping. Memphis Equipment sells them for 417 plus shipping, plus a $50 core charge where you have to send in...
We should have a spot where we can type in the NSN of a part or search for the part and get the NSN and other parts numbers. It would also be nice to have the truck part and corresponding NAPA part numbers for items. Everyone could just add the info they have and we could have a really nice...
This might not be the right forum, but I was wondering what a NOS carburator for an M37 is worth? I have a few NOS parts laying around and might start to do some cleaning? Thanks.
What are the gas tanks on the m211 made of? Is it stainless steel or just galvanized steel? I have a small hole that I need to weld shut and need to know what it is for sure. How have you guys cleaned your tanks out? mine has light rust from old varnished gas in it. I've cleaned twice with...
I was wondering what the 5 ton wreckers are worth? There is a 1957 5 ton international for sale locally on auction, but it's pretty rough. It does not run, but everything looks like it is there. The front winch is missing cable, and the whole truck is pretty rusty, bent up, very greasy, and...
I was just wondering if the serial number on a deuce means anything value wise. I know a gun or corvette with low serial number is worth way more than a higher one? Does anybody know if a very low serial number deuce is worth a bunch? Also does anybody know the NAPA number for the seal on the...
hey guys,
I'm looking into building a pole shed shop and storage for my 2 deuces and parts. here is my question. What is the maximum height of the deuce with canvas and bows? I have an M211, but it's basically the same truck as an m35. I want to make sure the door to the shop will be...
Ok, what I wanted to know is what is the difference between dextron II and Dextron III? Memphis Equipment recommends Dextron II, but all I can ever find is dextron III in the stores? Any ideas on this like what the difference is or if they are basically the same?. Also, does anyone have a...
