Welcome, those are called model G8T. The rear axle is made by Timken. What happens with the brake drum is the brake fluid leaks out of the wheel cylinder and causes the shoes to stick to the drum. Lots of beating and prying will get things loose. You should have military data plates on the dash.

Y'all are killing me with this "parts truck" talk. That thing was $11660 after GP fees and $12600 after tax. Parts? It shows 4 miles which looks quite correct given how clean it is and no body wear or even radiator damage. The USMC cann'd the hood off that one because it was perfect. Two...

Someone wasn’t phased by the missing tire/wheel assy and hood.

Welcome, pretty good knowledge base for M38A1s on here, glad you are aboard. Cool day job, tell us what platform one day if you can.

I think Memphis added the double frame. See it's bolted on? Factory would be rivets. See if Memphis still has those data plates, very important to operate the REB correctly or you will damage the transfer case.

It tells you that your truck started life exactly like the data plate says, a 1950 M34. Single rear wheels, 11.00-20 tires, and cargo bed with wheel wells. See the new snip i took of the serial number database, the lowest s/n of a M35 truck is 100422 for a 1952 truck, yours is 94926 which...

Omg. How fast does that thing go? Probably the first time off base on a highway.

1952 reo 2 1/2 ton vin number location | SteelSoldiers

HMMWVSUPPLY.com makes those including the uprights.

Yes 12 volt.

My 2 cents: This truck was set up by Memphis Equipment in the 1960's for a construction company to do some hard off highway work. The back of the frame angle cut indicates it had a dump bed. This truck would be a huge effort to build back as an original M34 mainly due to the frame issues...

I have never seen a deuce with a double frame like that. The "REB kit" was a way to manually control the automatic engagement of the front axle. That is one of the levers sticking up through the floor. The instruction data plate for the kit with 136 on it also mentions "Eager Beaver" which...

Yes the transmission is for a 2 1/2 ton truck. I don't think the air compressor is, it looks WWII. The tag with 136 on it indicates a Memphis Equipment REB transfer shift kit has been installed. Where does the double frame start and end? On a M34 or M35, only the trapezoidal plate over...

I think reverse should be 220 psi and F1 etc should be 140. The fact that you have reverse means the pumps are working. If line pressure drops to nothing when engaging F1, pressure is escaping somewhere in the clutch packs or band servos.

I use Coastal brand moly ep grease.

Ruh ro, I just reread your post and noticed the two asterisks, meaning two additional digits, the early gas truck serial numbers never had that many digits. You will need to find the frame serial number and report back for a revisit.

Your SN sounds correct, see snip from the VIN database. This is from the M35 without winch file. Year model sounds more like 1953.

Looking at your pictures, I think you have the trouble-prone second generation PDP with the no-lead solder. Suprman knows a lot about these, I don’t. These boards have been known to have bizarre intermittents like you describe.

Line pressures in N D and R are?
