I've always tried to use Moog. I've used TRW and Delco products with good results. Your truck is older and complete kits are probably not packaged. I go to the local independent parts house and ask them to fix me up.
Best of luck to you, a worthwhile endeavor.
I second the above advice. Look at the -10 manual and perform a major brake adjustment. Check the brake flexible hoses carefully. If cracked or dry rotted , replace them.
That really has the cool factor going for it!
Glad I'm too old for projects like that. I get enough military vehicle work with the VFD, thank you just the same.
I wouldn't be too worried about the blow by.
After driving it for a time, the rings will get settled in. Blow by should mostly go away after a few hundred miles.
Check "vehicles for sale" on this site. Cheap one and an expensive one. I would buy a good runner and drive it home. Believe me , dating the big girls on this site can be expensive. If you are a good mechanic, results may vary.
Best of luck to you.
A sometimes forgotten cold start for diesels is a hair dryer or heat gun in the air filter housing for 15 minutes or so. Old farm tractors often require it.
I was curious as to how the truck is working out. With your luck, you should buy a lottery ticket. This does not discount the hard work you have put into it.
I like the guy's videos. He gets old equipment working and saves it from the scrap. I thought he did well on the M35. Just wish he had more information on the truck first.
Take a look at Northern Tool. We use 2 of their high pressure pumps on VFD trucks.
You could go back with plastic since you are using water in the tanker.
