Wheel Cylinders Try the part number on the box. If that doesn't work it's plan B. Plan B: You order new cylinders from Memphis and have them delivered to San Diego. I fly from Edmonton to Phoenix, rent a car and drive to San Diego. I pick up the parts that just got delivered from India...

M211 visit Once again, visually stripping another G749 M series truck has been an inspiration.....Thanks Gunfreak. One bolt at a time. Great visit!

Sherm Don, wow...thank you..... speechless and humbled... Gunfreak25........your Moniker....... Brother you've had incredible insight carrying 'Sherm' around as your Moniker and as sad as his loss is I know he'd be proud having you carry that photo for another 96 years. Onward

Seal update to current This is Preliminary info because they are not in, running and non-leaking.... yet. Inner axle seal The "National" 'original' inner axle seal Part #2277317 (Mil-B-121E) Levy # 7411307 Modern equivalent seal is CR (Chicago Rawhide ) 18025 716....I hope. Inner Hub...

Start with Stopping Some of the best data for checking those brakes is TM9-1819A Part 1 of 6 if you access through militarytrucks.ca Chapter 10, pages 248-274, great reading. It's safe to say going through the entire brake system before operating is first, numero uno, and must be the number...

Winch mounting Witch winch is which. The mounting plates seem simple enough. It's just under 4" offset and with the winch being 26" wide and the inside of the frame rails approx. 34" inside, it works. The overall plate length is about 27" with 2" flange to frame and 11" mount to winch. I...

Another one It's real nice to see another G749 come out. Hopefully you're going to get the 'other' pictures up soon. You know.....the engine compartment, cab, dash, roof, undercarriage, the back...........those pics. Thanks for saving and sharing

Inner seal help. This is the last seal to find for the front diff. We'll give the Memphis boys a call on Monday but I'd like to find a modern alternative. Has anyone found a replacement seal alternate for this axle? The TM's part # is 7411307

the knuckle pics Knuckle head pics

Knuckle housing Getting the knuckle casing apart is another easy task. Undo the top bearing cover and tap with a soft hammer in the appropriate place. Removing the outer hub again with a few taps with a soft hammer. Removing a tie rod end is a 3 hit adventure.....now that I know where to...

Brakes I'd say lazy is an understatement. More like comatose. Pulled the rest of the brake apart without stripping any of the rust soaked bolts. Pic 3 shows the back of the "carriage bolt" that sits in the square hole on the backing plate. This ain't no carriage but it's a nice clean look...

Taking Bets on Eastern Canada Canada, That's exactly what I thought. I'll buy a round if it's not in Canada. They are all hard tops......M135's...waiting.......for me. and more rotting gold. I hope you find the location

Boss plow There might be some info on this thread. My Hiniker bolted on. Good luck http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/61660-snow-plow-specifics.html

Axle removal Removed the front diff cover for a peak and wasn't completely surprised to see the "tar" stuck to the roof. Everything else appears tight with little wear. Had to post Rollies lazy way of removing the cover and axle. Even after the nuts are removed, silicone and the wedge...

Brakes M135 mmm Whiskey This is the last brake to clean up so I'll post pics on the tear-down. It's easy when you read the TM's. If your brakes were soaked in a coal mine before sitting for twenty years this is what they'll look like. These are probably as bad as it gets. We already tore...

New M135 That is ridiculous. . . . . . pea gun on the top, good canvas, a trailer, clean, a little dribble on the rim...Absolutely beautiful. A gun truck, wow. Can we hear it shoot? It looks like it's "check the fluids", "clean the filters", and go. Amazing find!!! Mo pics, dash, mileage...

Another one.....sweet Congrats and prepare to fall in love. 135GMC nailed a list so I underlined the obvious. Those words come from experience and 'carried with you', makes good sense. The extra parts that are needed will also depend on your 'needs list' and the "list of things to do". Once...

Seals found I missed something......and you are right gent's sorry,,,,, that's 50mph or 80kph and there's nothing more important about this hobby then doing it safe. Thanks Gunfreak...Parts are ordered from the Memphis team.... The old seals will be cleaned up, cataloged and boxed for possible...

Had to do it. This truck has already produced speeds over 80 so I needed to see how the knuckles and balls work to keep the front wheels on. I'm throwing a schematic in because all the seals will be replaced when I find them. Maybe somebody out there has a package sitting all alone on a...
