Doesn't seem right does it. I guess a guy has got to eat though.

We'll put some pressure on him when the time comes then. That is a good looking M211 jeffhuey1n. Are those brand new engines? A military hardtop would sure look sharp on it.

Maybe we should all call him every day for the next couple of weeks and ask for a parts list of what we need to rebuild these. :twisted:

I have done that and it is why my current muffler is hollow. I had to have the end welded back on. Where is the hole supposed to be to vent the gas?

You might visit with m1010plowboy. I think he was working on having some new mufflers made. Not sure where he is at on that right now.

Pictures of jeffhuey1n's M211 start in post #16 here. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?82769-My-new-211/page2

Very wise. I completely agree with her.

I don't like to part anything out either, but the longer I am around these trucks, I have come to realize that some of the rougher trucks would be best used to keep the nicer ones on the road. The one in your pictures in my opinion would be best used as a parts donor. Mainly because the frame...

Glad to see one of us was able to get this stuff. That seemed like a great deal to me.

That truck has some good parts on it if you could get it really cheap. Bumper looks good, fuel tank if it isn't rusted out, gauges, axles, airpak, glass, fenders, doors, etc. Hardtops seem to be hard to find here in the states. That bed might be from an M928 or M814.

That is the TCV right? I just found where it is located. That will be one of the first things I look at when I start working on the orange truck. I know the oil pressures were right.

I like the original OD a lot. If those other two are real military camo, why not paint them back how they are. They look neat I think.

I'd be all over that if I was closer.

Electrical isn't my strong point. Need to work on that.:doh:

Got it figured out. (Pg. 304 of TM9-8024) The two wires hooked to the battery cable are 82 and 4. The other one is 7. It needs hooked back to the dash. What was throwing me off was 4 and how it appears to be run through the engine connector. Adding the "slave battery receptacle" should be easy.

That is very close and it most resembles the early style. I just don't see where it shows the 3 wires. Am I missing something or overlooking it?

I stand corrected. The wheels on my parts trucks are M35/M211 as well. Just never noticed. Hopefully the spare on #4984 is a M135 rim or I might be searching for a couple of them. Now to figure out the wiring questions.

More transmission part numbers added.

Last Saturday I had a little time and ended up washing 30 years worth of dirt out of the engine compartment and cab of the orange M135 (#4984) and looking things over before I try to start it back up. Does anyone know what the rear wheel (right wheel in the pic) here belongs too? It is...

What kind and color of paint are they using? Looks good.
