The battery cables have been changed out with good ones and military ends put on. The battery hold downs that I was missing are from a parts truck. I am going to wire wheel the battery compartments and spray them with bed liner at some point. These were added to the air tank drain-cocks after...

These are the only markings on the hood of one of mine that I could find after doing some sanding. It is very faint but I could see that at one time it read US ARMY 3G3868 The front bumper is 4G3868 1-HQ-41...very faint. Under the hood has this. I don't understand why the truck number...

I am looking at my own projects. The first four pictures I posted are one of my trucks. The three after that are a friend of mines. The last three are examples that I have found and was hoping to see others so we can find out what is accurate or not since it doesn't seem like many people know...

More markings

An old thread but I am looking for markings and trying to find out what they mean. Here are some different ones I have seen. I am currently working on sanding one of my M135's to find hood and bumper numbers. The bumper as you are looking at it reads: 4G 3868 1-HQ-41 The hood is: 4G...

I used the longer front brake lines since that is the only thing available at the part stores, unless you go and have some custom made. Here is what it looks like. It is long, but it worked fine for me.

Welcome back! I wondered what ever happened to you and making the transmission rebuild video. What seals are you needing? I'll get online and help look. Several of us put together a parts list with modern part numbers to keep our trucks going. If you have any part numbers that we are missing...

Looks like a lot of good parts on that truck.

That is some really good info!! Thanks for putting it together for us!

I have a question about exhaust temperatures. The other day when we were geting ready to leave to test my truck, my daughter was crawling up into the cab in the passenger side and grabbed ahold of the exhaust pipe that goes up the side of the cab. It was hot enough that it left a blister on her...

I need to get another good distributor cap or two to keep on hand. Does anyone know of a part number for a new manufacture one or is Alpha Heaven the only source for these?

Warm weather is finally here and I got some more work done on the truck. The spark plugs and wires were converted from civilian back to military. Thank you hendersond for the plugs!!! The plug wires are off of a parts truck. The rubber coating was somewhat brittle and ugly so I took that off...

The new parts list is posted up here as a sticky. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?137722-G749-Parts-List

Here is the link to the parts list that several of us have been working on for the G749 series. We will continue to update it as new part numbers are discovered. Please let me know of any additional part numbers you might come across and I will add those to the list for everyone to use as...

I found this as a source for our carburetor parts. https://buy.walkerproducts.com/carburetor/components/holley/holley-2bbl-885-1-carburetor-components.html I also found that they have a rebuild kit, part #159040....but, for whatever reason can not get it to pull up on their website:shrugs...

That may be a better way to go and would look more original. Will the Gamma Goat lenses just change out with the original M135 lenses or do we need the whole assembly?

I started working on prepping some metal parts to paint today. While doing so I decided to change the taillights to the more modern ones for visibility sake. I kind of don't like to do it, but would rather not get wrecked into.

Yes I found these.... http://www.ecklerstrucks.com/gmc-intake-manifold-alignment-sleeves-248h-270h-and-302-ci-6-cylinder-1950-1959.html

I noticed today that I am developing an exhaust leak where the intake and exhaust manifold bolts together. So it looks like it is time to replace all of the gaskets involved with that. Does anyone have a part number for the alignment sleeves? Any tips you can offer? I am going by the manual if...

That is a rebuild tag. One of my parts trucks has one similar. Yeah. I thought that was neat too. I'll probably duplicate that on mine. I guess these are supposed to be driven at 40 not 58. Here are the data plates for those two trucks. The one from the front of the building is on the left.
