Haha! It is the movie trailer to H3ll is for Heroes if you want to search for a version on youtube they will let you watch. A WW2 movie, but at that point in the trailer, there is a big line of shiny, new looking M135's driving down the road. I have never seen that many M135's in one...

Yes, there are 2 wheel cylinders on each wheel and 2 bleed valves on the airpak. 14 bleed valves total. The brakes are all supposed to be the same.

I would be in for it if I were closer. That would be quite a trip in the M135.

I use 15W40 for the engine and Hy-Tran for the transmission. I like the idea of one oil for both and may try that on one of the other trucks.

Check out the convoy of trucks at 0:44. Not quite WW2 era, but still beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsfiB-X6J7c

Could someone tell me what these bumper markings mean? They are off of a GMC M135. ATC AD (passenger side) and HQ68 (driver side)

Yes...please post up pictures of the truck in actual military service. That is incredible!!

That engine sure sounds good.

I am really looking forward to seeing if that matches up better than what I have been able to come up with. I need it in semi-gloss for my M135. Here are my attempts at matching 24087 in post #14 and #18. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?124761-Is-this-23070/page2

Is this a picture of the 24087 that HD mixed up? It looks much more green than what they did for me. Could you post up a picture of the paint code they put on top of the can so I can get a sample to try? I like the color of your Jeep!

Is this your truck? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwemhHcS__Y If so, you have been holding out on us by not posting this. :-D

Welcome to the group. A little TLC and that truck will look great! If you decide you want a military bed, I think the M35A2 bed is nearly identical to the M211 one. Show us the engine and inside of the cab when you get a chance.

Thank you. I had to use a combination of 2 G749 airpaks and 1 M809 airpak to make this one. I do have a few good parts left over, so if you are looking for something after you tear into yours, let me know.

I finished my airpak rebuild and got it, all new front brake hoses and the new master cylinder installed today. Bled everything and took the truck for a short run down the street. What a huge improvement in braking!!! I only have the front brakes hooked up at the moment to sort out that wheel...

Wow! Where did you find that?! Do you mind saying what you paid for it? I just finished my airpak rebuild this evening using the 5 ton rebuild kit and piston conversion. I sure hope it works.

Yes, the second picture is the under side of the dome. I don't understand the function either. I see no way for air to vent or anything.

Don't over do it. Take time to rest and get better. I spent this evening helping out a friend who injured himself by lifting things a person should not lift. No progress on my truck today. We need you on here... so stay healthy. Would be neat to find out if your place had a secret purpose...

I see. I should probably leave things original since it was designed with a purpose and nothing is wrong with the original cap. I just thought this would make checks and refill easier. Here are some pictures of the plastic cap.

The black cap doesn't have any sort of vent and is not a dust cap. The under side of it below the threads has a dome that swivels somewhat, but that is all. The inside of the metal extension is threaded inside the large diameter part as well as in the small hole that the original cap and vent...

I am finally back to work on the truck. The airpak is almost completely reassembled and the new master cylinder is bench bled and ready to go on. All new brake lines for the front are ready to be installed as well. I'm still trying to sort out the earlier mentioned wheel cylinder issue and am...
