    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Thank you for the recent pictures, that will help me a lot! As for your heater, I am now certain that is the place your resistor for the speed settings is located. Mine just hangs under the dash by the wiring(will take pictures). I like the way the wiring was tagged when the truck was built, but...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    I have a question for you. What is that box that's rivited to the heater? My M211 has a personel heater, but not with that item on it. Could it be for the high/low speed resistor? If so, mine is mounted under the dash.

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    That's great! My parts have seen much abuse, (will post pictures when can) so I need to get as much info as possible. Don't worry about sideways pictures. Could you please get a shot of the underside of the tire mounting plate swivel? If you can, whenever you can, don't go out of your way. Mine...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Thanks for the info, I googled what you said, and the butt looks like a perfect fit for the rubber base. Now that you mention the "clips" in the dash, I found what at first appeared as fuse holders in the glove box, but found that odd, since the truck uses breakers, rather than glass fuses which...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    I have a hard time to believe the truck only had 24 thousand miles, but the M135 has only about 44 thousand!!! Not much at all, but was probably rough usage.

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    I would love to get my hands on a full set of mil tires. Speaking of which, I'm looking for pictures of the spare tire carrier. Both the M211, and the M135 were missing, the cut M211 had one but was mangled somewhat, and was welded solid. I'll need several shots of how the pivot end looks. Then...

    You tube channel. Thanks for the warm welcome, I hope those working on these vehicles are ready to get some "dirt under the nails" because I certainly am. I have gotten set up on YT, but need to get the video part straightened out. Pictures are easy, but it will come. My M135 is dash plated...

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    Mystery parts in M135 cab. While cleaning out the decades of "dirt" from my M135 cab, I found these parts which to me look like a rifle holder. If anyone out there has any other opinions, please don't be shy and tell me what it really is.

    Well I'll be darned! A million thank you's are in order. But every time I tried to "cut/paste", it didn't work. It was simpler to post on YT. But I'll learn. As for a new thread, I have to agree, there's a lot I'm up to, and it needs posting. Just in passing, I forget who mentioned this, but...
