Continuing the Preservation I wonder if the kids in 50 years will appreciate how hard we worked to keep the history rolling? This restoration is not mine. It is a true restoration with a ton of heart being poured into it. Its actually a Continental Preservation restoration with parts coming...

G749 transmission trouble-shooting I was going to push this into the transmission re-build thread but still trying to grasp all the lingo so we'll Xperiment on you first. Do you still want these? They're over 30 years old, like most of our underwear. We got shut down with some cold and rain so...

I resemble that remark. With me being on the plains, that would be correct......but it's actually plane-nuts. I found that carb the OP was talking about so that's 2 different types we know the repair guru's have tried on these motors. The link is just an "Images" link to the Rochester...

New to the family, 211 G749 First off, Welcome aboard to the Steel Soldier Jolly Green Giant addiction academy...that's the SSJGGaa. As Doc Henderson says, you may have a CCKW 40's transmission slid onto a 302 shaft.....or not. The 302 engine is stamped so that will be easy to find. Your combo...

MV Preservation If you know the deuce you've seen the rot that occurs at the bottom of the fender where it meets the step. Check out the 6 fenders that were pulled off the trucks and piled in the bush over 35 years ago. Almost perfect. Even the rail that sits at the front of the box still...

After talking to a guy that has rebuilt these, well you know mechanics.......they make everything sound easy. Its the box that sits at the back of the Reduction Unit Cone and I'll let you know how many band-aids it takes to remove one real soon. Busy, not sure where to start. We'll give up the...

Cone Clutches Here is part of the Hydromatic Challenge. Maybe with a few pics and a show of either heart or greater interest, someone will dig some parts up for us. I don't pretend to know how all this works but I'm learning the facts from boys that have been around the trucks. The Cones, or...

New 1010 Papa I need to give credit to the founder and brainchild of Steel Soldiers because it's a very effective way to link collectors together. Push, the M1010, found the right owner that will keep her in the parade route and I even get to visit her once in a while. My days of pulling up to...

Valve on valve I can tell you why your Prunus Virginiana Schubert has purple leaves but I can't tell you how this Transmission Control Valve works. What I can tell you is 3 yt 8613834 and Z 7411503 work with each other. 3 is a valve and it gets hung up easily when Z tells it to release...

I will follow this up with pictures as soon as I get my books back....... Meanwhile, A Landscaper an Excavator and his kid walk into a bar. We kept walking into it so we decided to lean it up against the bumper so we wouldn't walk into it anymore. We're re-purposing a few cabs so we...

Are you buying or building? I know of two projects running on this side of the border and both will be low to mid 5 digit projects. Most require complete tear downs and re-builds if they've been sitting. I am finding crate transmissions but they've also been sitting. The cone clutch seems to be...

Deuce Accident That would ruin my day! Best of luck with the solutions and do you like Whiskey? Good day to share a drink! Not sure about your deuce but this chart comes out of the Early Deuce TM. 9-1819AC. Should give a guy a guide on how things are supposed to square up.

This would be an opportunity for someone with a ton of air-pak experience to jump in and give us some feedback. It's only a big deal if what we add melts rubber and gums up the seals.....like the time I put motor oil into a chevy brake reservoir. lol. I think the book says OHT but nailing down...

That whole unit just looks solid, beefy, how does it ride? My dually pounds the heck out of me but our frost heaving roads don't help. I like the fuel cost. $0.00. Sounds like the price we're getting for Alberta premium crude. Can you tell us about the fancy gauge and how you wired it in? You...

I'm just the guitar player on the fence but I will follow up with the tool. I could schpeculate that it's just a socket but I'll ask the boys. These pictures just showed up on my phone. The new G749 team are taking pictures so I'll grab some once the 'get er done' panic is over.

Air-pak dismantled A couple of northern, fabricating, tin bashing, mechanically inclined young bucks that don't mind sharing their success couldn't get that big piece to un-thread from its perch.....so they made a tool. It's a socket with wings which could help someone down the road.

Back in the good old late 70's, Crown Assets was tasked with selling surplus military vehicles. A limited group of folks had the resources to make those purchases. I've tracked most of them down and one of them just happens to be an MVPA mentor and all round great guy. He passed me these...

G749 hub differences No measurements yet but you're going to need to type slower so I can keep up with all the mechanical lingo you're laying down. I speak Latin for part of the day so describing the measurements you need from the following pictures would help me on the learning curve. In the...

We did a Military Family Resource Show years ago and all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies wouldn't leave the 1010 alone. You're in for a big surprise how many nurses love the man with 4 beds!

I'll send you a PM with some info..... ......and to SuperDave, between you and the western warehouse, there isn't enough money around to pull everything off the shelf. There are two crated, rusty???transmissions there still from BA, 2 trucks, 3 M38XX jeeps, a shed full of M38 parts, tires...
