Thank you for all the great info!

Over the years I’ve acquired some PRC 10 radios. Two are in backpack configuration and one is set up for use in a vehicle. I put together a bench to try and test each one with the plan to incorporate them into my War Wagon a replica gun truck from the Vietnam War. I picked up one of the home...

Waaay back in the 80’s and 90’s when I was stationed in Iceland in an Air Force Rescue Squadron, the flight line truck was a beat up “six pack” Dodges or Chevy’s. The PJ’s had some serious rigs! Everything on the trucks that could be upgraded was upgraded with the best that Uncle Sugar could...

Where did those rifle racks come from? I once bought a bunch of military parts back a few years and I have at least one of those upper clips. Nice to know what it’s used for.

Can you post a few close ups of the tire sidewalls? It’d be interesting to see.

The books are available on line. They are not digital to the best of my knowledge. I’ll try and remember what I did with my copies. If I can find them, I’ll see if your truck is in there.

Have you looked through James Lyle’s books?

I used an old tractor gas tank to get my M37 going. The truck’s tank is going to require some serious cleaning.

TM 9-2320-211-34P appears to be the AF and Army tech manual for the M246, M246A1 and 246A2. This TM covers what may be considered as depot level parts. Stuff that doesn’t normally get crunched or gets too crunched can be found there. TM 9-2320-211-20P covers more routine parts that are always...

It appears you have an ex-Air Force crash recovery truck. It looks real nice for such an old feller. One of these days I have got to finish up my M52A2…

Thank you for your patience with the parts! It was a pleasure doing business with you!

Build a gun truck!

Thank you for the info.

I did some poking around the web and came across a possible problem area. There should be approximately 43+/- a pound or two PSI at the fuel rail. Also changing out the fuel pressure switch could be a culprit. My personal method of fixing is to find the least expensive issue and work from there.

Might try changing out the filter. It sounds like there’s an obstruction in fuel delivery, specifically the filter is backed up. How often do you drive your truck?

Ok, good. Those box ones were a pain. How recent was the filter changed?

Do you have the original box fuel filter?

Nice!

The only way I know how to determine if your truck was originally a gun truck is to review pictures of all the trucks that are in the various Gun Truck books. James Lyle's three book and David Doyle’s books are probably your best bet. There is a couple three more books but the have very limited...

Great thread, add me to any new posts. One of these days I might tackle pulling the transmission from one of my M211’s. I suspect it’s locked up because all the drive shafts are disconnected and are hanging in place with cargo straps. Now to find the time…
