If you lived within 100 miles of me I would come work on your truck for free just to get my hands on it and I would gladly show and help you learn along the way. Are you a member of a local chapter of the MVPA? If not you should be. Then you'll find someone who may want to work with you on...
I had looked into one of those and thought it would work well except for the oil pan may give you fits fitting the motor in with cross member and the front axle. But I think you should be able to get around that with a little engineering. Good find!
Yeah what mkcoen said.... It's my understanding that proportioning valves are used when you have a mix of disk and drums. Since you said your all drums I think your good to go....I think.
That's an original military hard top. There is fiberglass insulation between the inner steel panels and the outer steel. If you do a restoration you might want to take the inner panels out and check the fiberglass. Critters have been known to live in there. Truck is very nice too!
Wow...what a great find! A Chevy tipper with original bed. Motor could be a 270 or even a 302 but I'd just leave it in and paint it OD. Only true die hards are going to know it's not "right". It's a great find and even just making it driveable and getting it OD with white stars will impress most...
If something works people are going to copy it. Look at the M60 machine gun...look at the Mg42 machine gun....very similar and in this case we were the ones doing the coping.

I kind of like the F250 in the one picture. Kinda looks like my 93 I had cept that mine was green and two door. Wish I had never listen to my wife on getting rid of that truck. It was a great truck!
Bob you should keep on eye on that chebby/gm and if it comes up forsale you should buy it!
Looks good! I don't see any reason you should be able to bleed it and make it go varoom! Why GM didn't go with a spin on filter in the first place is a mistery to me.
I bet the motor seeing that it was used in tractors, bulldozers and gen sets would have a lot a power and a lot of grunt to it. The problem may be adapting, but if it was put in farm tractors then maybe making it work in a truck wouldn't be as difficult as thought....no more than say making a...
I have a new NOS military dash pannel that I will be removing the gauges from to use on another project. If you interested in the pannel less gauges to then put 12v gaugues in like from VDO pm me and we can work something out.
The Hmmwv was designed to be moduler to a point. So the conversion...
