    Fuel Tank Condition

    Your plan is good. After washing, treat the tank with Ospho or something similar. Weld the tank back together and coat with GOOD tank sealer. You'll be golden. See one of my previous post about sealing Jerry cans.

    Bad Starter or Flywheel?

    I know it will be a pain, but pull your starter and check the stroke of the solenoid fork. May be grunge or rust causing it to not move the pinion into engagement. If the truck will always start after a few tries, I'd live with it for now.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2022 - July VOTE HERE!

    Don't even think about making dummy HazMat stuff! You will have BIG problems if you are questioned. This is from my perspective as a volunteer fire fighter.

    M35a2 weird brake system issues

    I've done master cylinders and it worked ok. I was very poor then and I don't recommend the practice.

    24v led lighted license plate

    The LED bulb shouldn't pull much current. Pretty much has to be another issue.

    1978 M416A1 Rebuild

    Older model jeep rims will do. You can buy new 16" rims but you'll have to use tubes.

    Testing Gauges and other Electrical Components

    Be sure and check the grounding of the senders. You can use a bigger alligator clip to see if threads need a cleaning.

    Reo OA-331 Oil Filter Upgrade - Detailed

    Good job. The Reo engines are good units for their time.

    Darley P-100 Water Pump - Corrosion

    Good idea. I don't have access to a bead blaster so I didn't think of that.

    Darley P-100 Water Pump - Corrosion

    Try some vinegar. Keep an eye on things not to get carried away. If badly pitted, mix up some marine epoxy and do a good smoothing job to minimize turbulence. Are you going to use it as a fire pump? Parts seem to be readily available.

    What is the latest news?

    Deuce and a half questions about transmission

    Every one should learn to drive a manual transmission. Never know when you'll really need to know how. Both of my daughters caught on quickly.

    New to me M35A2 bent front driveshaft

    Don't know about your case. The G.I.s are the world's worse with forklifts. Bent both drive shafts on my M37 at Fort Hood. There is a driveline business in Austin that can rebuild/repair yours. Not as cheap as used, just check condition carefully.

    What makes the Chrysler V8 different in a V100?

    That's what I understand the difference is.

    Finding the "good" wheel cylinder kits...

    The springs with the formed ends will work quite well. The metal end caps may be just a memory.

    What makes the Chrysler V8 different in a V100?

    Maybe a marine engine.
