Looked over the net and can only find full gasket sets. Anyone know of a source for just a valve cover gasket for a GMC 6 cyll, M135?

Went to start the truck today to clean it up for tomorrows Memorial Day Parade and it will not start? The starter just seems to grind like it's not kicking in. It had done this a few times over the years but always did engage and start right up before. But, before I jump the gun and tear off...

Going to have to do something about this oil leaking, but what ever we do I need to get the correct oil for this M135 six cylinder GMC gas engine. I was told at a parade that modern oils do not have the additives needed because of something to do with the bearings for the cam? He said that if...

My Dad's 1953 M135 with a straight six GMC / Chevy engine has started to leak allot of oil and I think it is the rear main seal. Dad had this engine rebuilt and then it sat for at least 8 years or more. I figure it must have dried out? What kind of job is it to replace a seal in these engines...

Seems like I am back here every year at about this time. I been trying so hard to get these brakes right on my late Fathers M135, He and I worked on this truck for years and the biggest trouble is the brakes keep locking up. We lost him a year ago last July and I just cannot give up on this...

Well friends, it is with terrible sadness I am informing you all of my dear old Dad's passong away here on July 12th. He fought a long hard fight since he had a stroke near 4 years back. And frankly, if the VA and the local hospital had paid more attention he would probably still be with us. Dad...

We just cannot continue fighting these brakes in my Dad's M135.!! I have been advise countless times that my problem is the rubber lines. They just keep locking up and make it hard to drive and hard on the truck. There are many reasons why I feel it may not be the rubber lines, too many to...

Hello all, It's been a year or more since I have been on here. I am back at taking care of a few things for my Dad's 1952 GMC M135. We spent years working on it, was able for him to do one event, then he had a terrible stroke almost three years ago. He is thankfully still with us but until...

Well I had a post on here, "Jeep wont start". Finally got it running, though not too well. Seems to be very little compression in #2. But it does run. I put the radiator on and filled it up so I could do a little tuning, so to speak. But now the water pump is leaking all over and throwing...

Howdy friends, been awhile since I was on this site. Always allot of help. I need some info on paint thinner? I am using AJP Gillespie enamel WWII Green. Used it before on Dad's M135 with Martin Senour Synthol #8005 reducer and it worked fine. I seem to remember it cost around $18.00 / gal...

Last year my 82 yr old Father and I got his 1952 M135 done enough just in time for him to take it in a large local parade. It was worth all the time effort and cash just to see the big smile on his face. Especially when the large crowd would express their appreciation. Then on Nov 15 he suffered...

My Dad's M135 had to be converted to standard tranny cause we were having so much trouble with the original. He had a second truck that a local municipality once owned that had been converted, so we just switched everything over, and it's working prettyt well. But we need a flywheel cover, and...
