No doubt someone has done this before,,, but just curious... where do all the Houston area (and surrounding areas) live?

Someone told me yesterday that there is 'a place that works on M35s, etc and sells parts up on 290 somewhere'.... Anyone know what he was referring to? There used to be a guy (Houston truck and equipment maybe) that bought and sold mil trucks... Any other parts sources in the Houston area???
Thanks

OK... I was a diesel mechanic (good lord) 30+ years ago, and THINK I know what a diesel sounds like... but.... should there be a 'bit' of a knocking sound at idle? Some diesels normally do (like a sledge hammer on a block of wood) and some diesels normally don't and are loud but free of any...
What is the part number for the bulb that goes in the turn signal box on the steering column??? Maybe if it was flashing at me I would not leave the turn signal on for miles....

I am picking up my just purchased 1985 AM GEN M35A2 tomorrow morning. It is about a 50 mile drive home. The truck is registered, just passed Texas inspection last month and survived my test drive. What should I check/do before I start her up and drive off?
Thanks!!!!!
