At 1:37 when you turn in to the driveway........are you being followed by a LEO? Is there a story behind this or just coincidence?

Happy Truck, Happy Life Did they push air into the distributor to keep positive pressure? You mentioned Positive Crankcase Ventilator PCV......The base on the GMC has a valve but no lines. I'm confused. Lets look at pictures and watch a movie, we still have the coolest trucks, even if we don't...

G749 video That's a happy nine minutes and twelve seconds. Best movie I've watched since Titanic...except we'll watch your movie again! Muffler, We're going to need them by the sound of it. That's loud! Shift timing Your 2 to 3 high shift is tighter/shorter than Goose and a tad longer than...

G749 goes to A&W I usually get a bunch of photos for you folks on the Friday night A&W tour. The weather was spectacular and over 700 vehicles filled several parking lots leaving no daylight to park in. Goose parked blocks away until the Hot Rodders that are afraid of the dark, fired up and...

G749 Welcome to Steel Soldier's Early Deuce Group Establishment for Yoddlers....or EDGEY. Really looking forward to a custom project so don't be afraid to post up as many problems and pictures as you can. We've all wanted a re-powered 6x6 but the finish line hasn't been there for a lot of...

I wish I could help with this but only have a wee bit experience with the 50's GMC. The GMC tech manual says to do this with a hot engine and if the valves are too tight a 'lash' will cause the valves to burn, especially on the exhaust. Valve lash on the 302 GMC is 0.012 for the intake....and...

We've been growing potatoes for a century so you're in for a treat. We'll make sure they're fresh. I was pulling the rad cap when it was cold and making sure I could see green, topped it up to the neck this spring. A couple of times, even when cold, Goose would spit some back out at me when I...

GMC Hydromatic That sounds like the last line of every verse in a country song. Can I use it?......If you moved 75 miles closer and I used '300 miles away', it would fit better. My other M135,,, is still,,300 miles away. Click here and listen while we remember our Military and Emergency...

You were out cruisin' and we don't get any video? Pictures of you around town?......pickin' up ice cream? In front of City Hall, the liquor store?? :-D That temperature doesn't seem outrageous. The book says there's a pressure valve in the top tank that is between 6 1/4 and 7 1/2 lbs and it...

That conversion looks too easy not to try. We could run civi spark plugs and wires which could keep a few more trucks on the road for a little less doe. I'm going to spend the next two weeks pullin' horse shoes out of my behind because Goose is a rocket ship again and I'm a lucky dog. The new...

Troubleshooting misfire Found some time to do some maintenance and troubleshoot the misfire at higher RPM. I hit the parts store for a simple plastic fuel filter that usually hangs on a shelf. Everything in this "Parts Source" has been packaged in cardboard and tucked in the back so the boys...

M20 Restoration Just a few update photos of progress on the M20. I couldn't wait for the finish so built a decent model of the M20 that works good as a motivator. The boys must be playing with the model in the bush around the shop. They've already got the headlight guards busted off. Good...

B-25 departure Pappy Boyington and the Corsair are 2 of my favorite things......I better add these departing shots for you. While having great responsibilities, MVPA membership has it's privileges and we get close to the gear so I'll take better pictures next time. I grabbed these photos...

Just trying to save myself some embarrassment...... Just play the Benny Hill music and picture me lifting a cab with a mini-hoe. It actually went really well and I'll do it again so.....you're coming??? Bring my transmission and motor..lol. I found a new re-built transmission but the owner is...

Muffler This is going to be like a big green bike, back smashing muffler reunion. I remember when the muffler kid's Dad broke his back, while dirt biking ......so bikers should get a special gimp rate, me thinks. This was one of the kid's projects for his sled. He's got great support and the...

G749 wheel cylinders It's all good little buddy, I was picking corn, chasing thieves and pretending to drop a 350 in a deuce. The G749 team don't need no stinkin' sleep. I found another flavor of 15306 from 1982 without the 'wagner lockheed' title on it so it gives me some hope that these...

Wheel Cylinders G749 You deserve a break about now! Usually I break something new while I'm fixing the first broken thing but having new parts go down tops the list of painful hurdles. That would drive me to drink but not drink and drive. I've always wondered if the pressure applied to the...

That service body may be unique to Canada. Has anyone seen a U.S. model?. The photo came from a friend who drilled wells with it after military life. I know of 2 and one is in a museum so finding another one would be a fun hunt. I think we just saw a few truck pictures from Eastern Canada that...

Something about that round switch attached to the steering wheel that makes me twitch. I'll buy the next round of steak and potatoes if you can get a peak at the numbers stamped into the side of the frame behind the wheel. I know a guy that drilled wells with an M135 pole setting, auger style...

G749 Pictures I guess this is the G749 picture thread so I can update and add more photos. I'm missing all the trucks in the pictures above...and some, M133, M215, M216, M217, M220, M221, M222, ......say whaaat? I was lucky enough to find a shop van on a M207 Mr. Oldfart. I just splashed it...
