Sorry, “parts trucks” sitting around rotting makes no sense to me. I manage a fleet of FMTVs for my fire department and our solution to high mortality, hard to find parts is to stock them on a nice dry organized shelf. Alternator, WTEC controller, keypad, fan solenoid, air brake inversion...

I can read the data plate photo, shows M61A2. The tank that was on it was the original military configuration. Probably an asphalt distributor. That's probably what is still in the tank. You have to heat it up for it to flow out. Well I suppose the tank was kinda useless for a hobby truck...

Dropping 5k on a parts truck that will have the same aged out parts as the truck you are running seems like a questionable idea.

Grease zerk ports

Sure enough, the XX26-XXXXX series is a M61A2.

Very light demand for the "C" windshield. I would be tempted to buy a repro bare frame and swap over the hinges, wipers, hardware etc. Have your local glass shop install a single piece safety glass rather than fool with the ancient two piece glass rubber and twin glass panes.

Sweet Jeep! Random observations, you have a M38A1C recoilless rifle windshield on it, but no tailgate, so you do have a M38A1. Had radios as evidenced by the 4 square bolt pattern on the left rear quarter panel. Great wheels for boonie bashing. Good luck with it, doesn't look like it needs a...

You had them swap the tank for a deuce cargo bed?

Clearly that is not the same truck as in the first post. When you figure out what you are buying get back with us.

Evil Dr Porkchop has the grille: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucv-2-grille-guard.204278/ Better snatch it up before I do for my pickup clone build. The CUCV IIs all had steel rims, shouldn't be hard to find on a junkyard truck.

13.8 volts is what the voltage regulator is set for. When the voltage regulator fails, you get a boiling battery like you got.

You can do every performance trick in the book on a NA 6.5 and it will still be pitiful. If the 6.5 has the side mount turbocharger, that is what to build.

$7481 haha that is what Uncle paid for that truck back in '52. Looking good. Do you own the surplus store or is that where is was?

Volume control

All the M135s had those, the M34 Reo did not.

Looks like a M61A2. I can't figure out the 95"26"-XXXXX though. What was the "26" series?

Nice GMC! Red River Parts in New Boston can help you with troop seats and Feltz Tire across I-30 from there may have 7 new 11.00's for you. Someone kept that truck in a barn for a long long time. Love the USA number 41111124, easy to stencil back on.

Yeah even I wasted 15 minutes of my life watching that shitshow

What was ambient temperature? If is was a 95 degree day and the spec is for a 60 degree day, you are most likely still in spec. These transfers typically give warning signs when failing, like wobbly shafts, leaks, noise. The shop vans put a lot of strain on the powertrain due to weight and...

Ah the 40 year old 6.2/5 refuses to die.
