It’s a 1970 model from the data plate. As long as it’s not rusted through all over I would not rule it out. Read the threads here, people have brand new wheel cylinders, axle seals etc fail on them so you are not escaping tons of maintenance by buying a running truck.

In my opinion, there were 10 M35s for every one M54. Many more of the 5 ton fleet were tractors.

Is that a TD14 under the crane? Looks like a very worthy project.

Nope. Those are USMC 151's, and (time warp) they are stuck somewhere in strategic reserve, much like the HMMWVs coming out from USMC at this time. C/C is condition code and the A821 could be a code for the storage location.

There is another thread about this topic. No resolution on that thread.

Two of my 12 year old Hawkers finally gave up so sure I’m in!

Brutally honest here: preexisting medical conditions and maintaining and operation of 2 1/2 ton trucks don’t go together. If anything you will get ADDITIONAL medical conditions. Suggest you downsize to a CUCV Blazer. Speed you want along with power steering.

When the bearing halves are that bad, you can be almost 100% certain the crank needs to be turned.

You will need to inspect all the bearings. Suggest you use plastigauge.

LMTV covers have the sides split down the middle as a front and rear flap on both sides. So it’s not that.

Ah ok. Maybe an entire take off cab might be the least man hours to running again.

Alternator failed looks like. Causes the voltage to go nuts and burn up wiring.

Only way to do it right! Truck will turn out great when starting with a solid foundation.

Pull out the choke half way. Or better yet, send the carb to Brooks Engine Service

WWW.M715zone.com. You will have to register there to see the manuals.

Unfortunately I am incorrect, this site does not have M715 manuals, you will have to go to M715zone.

Sure, dig around in the “TM download” section of this website, it will be a appendix of a manual ending in -20, -24, or -34. I can’t recall which.

Well if you were using a V8 GM engine I would suggest using a distributor from a M114 APC (it had a 283). To retain the GM set up, there are 24/12 converters available.

Yes. Probably better than the old design.

Are you asking if you can use a Delco style 24v alternator instead of mounting the M715 unit on your GM engine? Sure, that is a good idea.
