Been hanging on to my Dad's 1953 M135 for last several years, but now my Mom has passed and I need to keep or sell it. But either way I need a value to attach to it. Everything is pretty original except we have a five speed manual tranny in it, Runs pretty good, brakes are always hanging up...

OK Friends, here are a few pics. Man this thing is a lot rougher than I thought. I had had only a glimps of it. When I saw the glove bax, and he told me no tail gate O thought military. Also, the springs are really heavy. I hope these pics help?

Sorry, but I do not have any photos of his jeep. But from my meager description and the suggested model being M38A1 I was able to look on line for photos and it appears to be what he has. I suppose I should have posted that earlier. I think the ID has been made, and thanks to all. I have just...

Hey guys, thanks for the info. Yes, my post was for real. Perhaps there is a subject somewhere out there that you may not be familiar with. If I can help I would be glad to do so. Just trying to assist a neighbor that acquired the jeep and did not know what he had. I appreciate all the kind...

MAn, I am confused! From the pics I could find on line, that is what he has, an M38A1. However, that looks like a much later model jeep? No flat fenders, etc. I had no idea that they made that style in 1953?? I have a civilian 1953 CJ3A that is very line a military 1953 jeep I see every year...

Got a friend that just acquired a jeep that may be a military jeep from what little knowledge I have. At least he'd sure like to know what it is, model, year etc. I guess he didn't get a title as he thinks it is a 52 or so, but it is newer that that, I can tell that much. It is NOT flat...

WOW!! That would be great, thanks. If the threads don't match up I could just adapt/bush it I am guessing?? Thanks again, I am going to research this

Thanks guys, Plans have changed a little as usual. Probably be tomorrow till I get to that tank. But I appreciate yer help.

I am going to remove the tank to extract the broken end of the old petcock. Would anyone there have one I could trade for or purchase? Thanks, 724-235-1140

My Son, in his zeal to do good while draining moisture thought it best to remove the petcock and get rid of every last drop of water. Well we know what happened, broke off the petcock. It is in a hard place to get at but we tried "easy outs" with no luck, the brass left in the threaded hole...

To all that offered advice on my problems. We have this truck working a lot better. Still am gonna add a ground wire, but it is better. Did a 4th of July parade locally and were honored to haul some Viet War Vets.

OK friends, if your still out there? I switched back to the 12 volt solenoid. Now it clicks every time I hit the starter button, 4 to 6 times, then it kicks right in and starts. But when I shut it down it does it all over again. I am going to try and check the batteries. Even though the...

I did some searching last nite and found also that this is a 12 V starter. I am going to try and check the voltage today. This solenoid has two small posts on it. One seems to do nothing there is only on small wire and the big wire straight from the battery(s). That's how it was on the donor...

It's just one thing after another with this M135. The starter went out the day before Memorial Day. The only reason my Dad and I restored this truck was to haul Vets in parades, etc. Now I got a truck full of Viet Vets lined up for the 4th of July and still no starter fixed. I just took it...

yea, that makes more sense, thanks for saving me a lot of trouble.

Looks like that is the correct one at Oreilly's I am picking it up Thursday. Would you guys use any gaslet shellac or that blue silicone stuff? The one one it and also another engine I have and took off, neither one had anything like that. This one leaked cause the gaskey pulled out of place...

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?

Thanks all, been tied up with family emergency but all is ok for now. During all that I remembered a local business that rebuilds starters and such. Got it done for undar $90 which surprised me. I am heading out the door now to install it. Thanks ag

I took the starter off hit me in the face. I took the starter apart and th this afternoon and as I was doing it a little roller bearing actually fell and it is pretty well worn out, the Bendix part. I think that's what it is called the gear part and a bearing that zips out and engages the...

No linkage on it
