With no air the clutch is engaged. He was right. Double check you have the right fan to go with the clutch you have. The fording switch overrides everything.
Yup they shift rough no question about that. And yup when towing something that drags them down. I used to do a lot of flat tows of M37s with it and oh that was awful. Loaded in the bed was not bad.
Yup deer cabin is a good continued use for that one, given every single item is removed from the interior. I won mine from a DRMO auction at Ft Hood back in the 90’s, glad I kept mine inside or I now know what 30 years of sitting outside would do to it.
You're thinking of the Reo with the OA331. The 302 moves these GMCs like a scalded dog. Back in the day I drove mine like I stole it, 60 mph against the governor at 3400 RPMs for hours on end.
Those 40 ft boxes are 7000 lbs tare. I drag mine around empty with a 915 in a dry grass pasture without issue. The box lifts up about a foot when I pull on it. It’s empty though.
Is the starter still in the proper position being held on by one bolt? Next time a starter bolt breaks that makes your truck NMC. (not mission capable)
Remember the VIN is only stamped on the main data plate. It is always possible that that plate might get lost requiring you to title it as a 1985. That happened on my 2002.

The A/C compressor goes where the hoses are, they are attached with bolts. The compressor is available. It appears the expensive start box is missing. Your NSN ending in 2007 is correct, it is painted on the hood, and that is the NSN for a 1152A1. The serial number is correct for your year...
On the naturally aspirated engines, the missing rain cap at the Georgia site meant wet engine. BUT this is a turbo and so few of these have been sold, that MAYBE water did not get into the engine because the turbo and the intake manifold are so high up.
No, the water has entered the combustion chambers and will sit there before it eventually oozes into the crankcase, but what happens is the steel rings get corroded in place on the aluminum pistons.
ECV is the hot ticket now. Everything besides the inside of your engine looks great. And I may be wrong about the engine, you never know until you pull the dip stick.
