G749 wheel cylinders It's all good little buddy, I was picking corn, chasing thieves and pretending to drop a 350 in a deuce. The G749 team don't need no stinkin' sleep. I found another flavor of 15306 from 1982 without the 'wagner lockheed' title on it so it gives me some hope that these...

Wheel Cylinders G749 You deserve a break about now! Usually I break something new while I'm fixing the first broken thing but having new parts go down tops the list of painful hurdles. That would drive me to drink but not drink and drive. I've always wondered if the pressure applied to the...

That service body may be unique to Canada. Has anyone seen a U.S. model?. The photo came from a friend who drilled wells with it after military life. I know of 2 and one is in a museum so finding another one would be a fun hunt. I think we just saw a few truck pictures from Eastern Canada that...

Something about that round switch attached to the steering wheel that makes me twitch. I'll buy the next round of steak and potatoes if you can get a peak at the numbers stamped into the side of the frame behind the wheel. I know a guy that drilled wells with an M135 pole setting, auger style...

G749 Pictures I guess this is the G749 picture thread so I can update and add more photos. I'm missing all the trucks in the pictures above...and some, M133, M215, M216, M217, M220, M221, M222, ......say whaaat? I was lucky enough to find a shop van on a M207 Mr. Oldfart. I just splashed it...

When I was hunting P-4 info I'd search through 'images' then follow the 'visit page' option if I found something. That's going to be tough with yours but I searched "M56 rescue truck" and found some info on the 54'......200 made and unknown if any survived. Searching "crash truck" is just a...

The G749 Family I'm trying to be a solid family guy and we're hunting for each one of the G749 family series and others with accessories like the flying kitchen, pole truck, and one with an aircraft spotter light etc. Have enough M135's, an M207 and the M211.... Just missing these.....and I'd...

I was lucky enough to fire up SuperDave's Re-built M135 one day. I pull the starter and start tapping the throttle, like we do when starting any old GM product. It starts on half a revolution of course and SuperDave calmly asks,.....always freakishly calm when he's talking mechanical...."What...

M217/ m222 Just a life-saving picture, thank your friend for the send. That tank looks very similar to the tanks on the M217 and M222. It's kind of flush with the cab with that same sassy low-rider roll to the side. Yes sir, that's a collectible in my books. The Washington fire-fighters have...

G749 shifting We've had some discussion about a 'slap' shift between 2nd and 3rd in low range so while having an airport under me, I did a little video of Goose's graceful gallop to 4th gear, under 10mph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQk3Uwn4A5E About 15 miles into the return trip Goose...

Edmonton Airshow The airshow circuit is small up here so the same folks that ran the Whitecourt show in 2012, coordinated this one. In 2012 they made arrangements to Feed and Fuel 65+ MVPA units so I'd say they are simply the best. We had the famous TV wing walker show up. Then I had the...

G749 Preservation, MVPA, Civil Defense Old Goose did a 50 mile run this weekend to attend a long awaited airshow. 3 hrs of pre-trip maintenance paid off. I convoyed out of Edmonton with a jeep and command car..........and they'd loose me on a slight incline with Goose dropping to 40mph, but we...

Just came back from a 25 mile run and it would be nice to have lower rpm when trying to go fast. The 302 is screaming pretty good even at 50mph so adding 2 pistons should make things a little quieter.....that's the goal right? quiet? If we drop big blocks in them it will mean that we'd need to...

I had the same thought when I was pulling the cab off the new engine stand frame. The motor, trani, axles, front diff, rad and box were all missing and I retain the thought that I can find this stuff and put it back together :cookoo:.There just aren't enough crazy grease monkeys out there that...

Early Deuce M135 My M135 is the best ride I've ever had. She's getting ready to go camping at a weekend airshow event...... ....and I hope some day you get to do the same thing. They're not hard to work on and the restoration is worth every minute. All vehicles that are important enough to...

G749 Muffler How many mufflers are we going to need over the next 20 years? Trying to get a handle on the G749 current and future muffler needs so a 'one off' can be done more efficiently. It'll actually be a "seven off" because I'm going to need them. In regards to "detonating mufflers"...

Cdn u.s. M211 I'm still digging for the story on this M211 CDN with American stencil on it. If anyone has seen a camo pattern like this and might have info that it's military and not some after service, handy can of paint project, I'd appreciate the feedback. Does "Attach Stuck White Knight...

The 211 CDN was pictured on #338 and #340 over here http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?52255-G749-preservation/page34 ....and since the young lady was looking for camo pictures I'll get some better pics on the next trip. It's got a story behind it with it being a CDN and having...

Hard Shift M211 The op manual suggests getting them warm at idle/ neutral then letting them idle in gear.....F-1 High Range.... for 5 minutes before getting an accurate reading for transmission fluid level. If you're confident the level is good, you'll be pulling the floor pan and checking the...

I just got back from a lube run with the M135 and couldn't count the up thumbs the old deuce got. I built it so I could drive it but I think it's the general population that gets the biggest kick from seeing the Early Deuce. Mine will keep up with traffic and although a little tough to turn, the...
