It might help if you tell us, does it start, run, and stop as it is, have flat tires, or would it just need a battery to load on a trailer or move it to another location.

I agree with rustystud, a picture would go a long ways toward helping us give you some help. Right off from your description I would say no races should just fall out.

I agree with Rustystud. Sounds good, adjust tappets and check all systems as soon as you can, but basically a good truck.

I think you need to pull the wheels/hub and check for a leaking brake cylinder. You can cheat for this job by having a sheet of steel about 24" wide and 5 or 6 feet long, its surface oiled. Jack up the wheels until you can just get the sheet under the duals. Remove the axle and locking nuts...

Nice! Now you can use it for an off-road camper with some minor mods---- :)

For Allis Chalmers tractors and GMC trucks when I worked at a shop the test run by factory techs was with it in high gear, brakes locked, medium throttle, release the clutch and see how long it takes to kill the motor. If it kills quickly, you are OK. If it drags down rather slowly then there is...

Transmission Hoist For our M series deuces and 5 tons we find this hoist most useful for transmission removal and replacing. It is a winch unit that sits on the cab floor. The worm gear is run with a wrench, looks like it should have had a crank for this but the instruction booklet does not...

An industrial supply house called McMaster Carr has fuel and lubricant rated PVC and Tygon hose in sizes 5/64. 3/32, 1/8, 3/16/ 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 ID. Color is "clear yellow". They advertise the Tygon as being higher quality than PVC and able to withstand lower temperatures than...

My father-in-law was in motor pool maintenance at the end of WWII. He told of having one of these in their motor pool. At times when he needed to go off base for something he would take it for a "test drive" because he liked driving it so much. Some "daily driver"!!!

As for the potential problem of checking inside wheel air pressure, when mounting the wheels you index the wheels so the stem for the inner wheel is at the larger opening in the outside rim that is 180 degrees from the one with the stem in it. You can also install a stem extension if that does...

You are welcome! My floats were crushed by ice in the bowl. Probably the result of my step-son some years ago doing a dumb thing. He had hauled a row boat to a lake landing with it and launched it. When he wanted to re-load it he decided to show everyone at the landing how a waterproof...

Sorry I do not have a NAPA number. Unless you have a carb number you will not have much luck there. I got my float (new) and needle valve and seat from Vintage Power Wagons, toll free order 1-888-695-0578. Get a needle valve assembly (part number on my package 31-584 over 1501) along with the...

I simply put a keyed switch in the feed wire to the military ignition switch on my M series trucks. Off, no power to the military switch so it cannot be used to start the truck; key switch on power is sent to the military switch and it works as normal. Very simple installation! Only one wire to...

I have used window screen (metal) in front of radiators for years. The bugs can be removed from it much easier than trying to clean them out of the radiator core or if you have it on a vehicle with one in front of the radiator, the AC core. You can use a stiff paint brush through the grill guard...

If it has set for along time be sure to put some algae remover in the fuel or you will possibly keep plugging filters.

Nice truck! Welcome to the "club" of military vehicle owners. They did a really nice job of detailing the paint on it. Enjoy! I see a lot of vehicles that were converted by some fire department and think "I wish they hadn't done that" but now I see the altered ones as a history of the service...

The top cover has plugs in the side under which are springs and detent pins or balls that prevent shifting into two gears at once. They engage milled slots in each fork rail. When shifted into one gear, they shift into the detents in the other rails to prevent two-gear engagement. Something...

I think your number and backwards D joined to F is a casting number, Dalton Foundries here in Warsaw, IN.

Kind of like us pilots say, when forced to make an engine-out emergency night landing in unknown territory and you want to know what you will be landing on, turn on the landing lights; if you don't like what you see, turn them off!

dmetalmiki makes a good point-make sure it is on the compression stroke or you will be one crank revolution out. Take out the front plug and with your finger over the hole turn the crank in the correct direction with the fan until you start to feel the compression being blown past your finger...
