Rad check done Still there....... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/early-deuce/75849-radiator-troubles-2.html

Never too sick for the M135 Get better man because I caught what you have and now the two of us are working sick. 104 temp in the fetal position won't stop a good man from workin' on his deuce. New Drive Train threads for these trucks are really valuable because I'm seeing 'savers' with no...

M135 save Nice saves aren't always perfect but you get to appreciate the pieces you have. There are a few guys out west that might know where some original parts are so when you put a shopping list together I'll pass it around. The 302 lets you drive through puddles if you can keep it...

Box Preserved GMC......I completely agree......Paul said it a while back that if it's got runs and brush marks ....it's restored. We got it flipped over and started with the detail on the sides, tops and inside. We kept the idea of "preserving" the box #1 and basically poured primer then...

Wheel studs If you didn't already .....check the studs for reverse thread. I think it's drivers side. I had two veteran mechanics stand behind me....watching me try to wrench mine off for the first time.....laughing. I should have read the TM first. Great build

ALCAN options I didn't get signed in for the Alaska trip either. Disappointing but not without opportunity. Instead we've offered the MVPA a piece of land West of Edmonton that can be used for staging before and after the trip north. Our farm is located at the start of the main route north to...

Box Preserved The sand blasters did such a great job in every groove and channel prepping this box that the guilt was big choosing not to spray. Instead we got at it with rollers and brushes and poured primer then paint on every piece of exposed metal........on the bottom. Taking advice from...

Cdn m135 Lookin' at that truck sure puts a smile on my face. Must touch it! Real interested in your 'inspection process' to see how it compares to the Alberta adventure. I'm next. More pics of that original interior will give me more incentive to get mine done...please. Thanks for sharing

Overheating, Did you get that solved yet? My 6x has held rad fluid levels right to the top unlike some GM's that, as mentioned before, puke fluid until they are at a level they 'like'. I really hope it's an easy fix for you! We did a new rad in a truck and one of the guys left some plastic...

Salvage yard success Loaded up torches, generator, grinders, hammers, tools, fire extinguishers and spent four more hours wrenching in the bush. Found most of the remaining pieces I need to nearly complete my truck including - Spare tire carrier - Box sides - Cross stabilizer front end -...

Box bottom considerations The box is back in the paddock and I'm going to poke through SS to see if anyone has done anything special to keep the bottom healthy for a long time. 2 part ENDURA Primer / Sealer is sitting on the shelf but does anyone have any suggestions on keeping the metal...

Lights and another wrong purchase I took the PTO bearing to a bearing supply company and got the nod that they could get me the bearing and it would be right. They measure, smile and shake their head up and down that it's going to be correct. Wrong again......... I guess building a 50+ year...

Pinion seals and sleeve Got the 135gmc tip on the trani fluid and ran 10W weight in it for the first change. Once we're 'road' ready we'll run it, follow TM shift adjustment and might just try some different lube. We also heard "whale oil" was used in the trani's and all I can say is 'whale...

M-135 diff carrier seal Had a little delay and failure finding a local source for seals and sleeves on two of the diffs. National carries a seal part #450104 but it would require machining the flange to 2 7/16". I have NOS parts coming and solved this with help from Brian Asbury this time...

1010 goes BC fishin Loaded up the 1010 and pulled her for 5 hours to the Valemont BC area. Set up camp at Canoe River Campground which would be a great stop for those coming up for the Alaska Highway tour in 2012. Backed her into the Kinbasket lake for a day of fishin and rock climbing then up...

M1010 rescues stuck Terex Affirmative on the plaid pants and flip flops. My niece chose the man for love, certainly not for style. A video of the Terex rescue on the tube. The 1010 has made everything look boring and easy so far. More to come. After the M1010's extraction she got immediate...

I'm having too much fun in the 1010 not to share the adventure. The latest stroke of genius was to see how deep she'd go. Videos will be posted soon. If I had any mud experience I would have made it but instead it turned out better then success, learning how to recover buried toys.
