    The Centipede aka my new 1988 m35a2c

    That's some excellent information ! That's also a really great price on that master cylinder ! Did you find those adapter fittings at NAPA ?

    Cracked a TH400 case and support brackets with a NP205

    Many here have talked about this before. It seems the military didn't have them installed on the later models. Mine came with them though.

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    The "MWO 9-2815-210-30/2" covers changing over to the two hole tip. You will need the nozzle holder No. 2910-861-1408 and tip No. 2910-860-2336 . That is all. All the rest of the parts totally interchange.

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    There is several places in the injection pump TM's that describe this, but here is just a sample of what I was trying to explain. I'm tired right now and will be going to bed soon, but you can research this for yourself if your concerned. I will just add this. I think your confusing...

    Personal military truck negligence causes major accident.

    I'm a "purist" on vehicles that will just be used for show. On any other vehicle that will see use I will totally modify them to meet or exceed present standards. That's why my deuce looks like a Christmas tree on steroids ! I want to see and be seen ! There has been many times I almost rear...

    Could you post some pictures of that bumper ?

    Deuce alignment

    Most truck shops try and get toe-in on radials to zero, or as close as possible. Our buses all run radials, and we tried to be in the range of zero to 1/16" max. If we did experience some "wander" , we would set the toe-in closer to 1/16" . What most people don't understand about front tires is...

    Cracked a TH400 case and support brackets with a NP205

    Yes. They mount to the aluminum torque convertor cover and go to the engine mounts. In todays transmission world almost all the manufactures have gone to the 360 degree bolt pattern just like big trucks have done since the beginning. This increases the amount of torque you can send through the...

    1954 Studabaker REO rear window

    Thanks "bigmike" . I might just need to take you up on that offer. Can you find the old style molding too ?

    1954 Studabaker REO rear window

    I guess your right. It's weird though, that all three Studebaker REO's have the same window. It must have been a Pacific Northwest thing.

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    Your right Floridianson about the calibration needed between single and double hole injectors. I was going to mention that you cannot mix them together. The single hole needs the fuel increased. Yes the two hole is also better, that is why when injectors where needed they where to be replaced...

    Winch and Bumper Project

    A couple of people have asked about my "approach" angle. So I measured it today. It is 33 degrees. Not bad for a winch truck considering the stock configuration with mechanical winch is 40 degrees. So even with a "double" front bumper I'm only 7 degrees lower then a regular winch truck. The...

    1954 Studabaker REO rear window

    Does anyone know what size window the M135 had ?

    1954 Studabaker REO rear window

    Here's a picture of my rear window. You can see the cab supports are just inches away from the edge of the opening, so there is no way to cut a larger hole for the new style window.

    Deuce alignment

    The best way to do that would be to take the truck to an actual "truck" alignment shop that uses the new laser aligning system. We had that for our busses. You can check all three axles for proper alignment on all axis. Yes it will cost a few pennies, but if you really think you have a problem...

    Cracked a TH400 case and support brackets with a NP205

    When you use this one, it actually will be mounted at or near the center line of the truck. Since it is a large rubber mount it will have a lot of flex. Just imagine your fist with a 3 foot rod in it and twist it. Your fist is not moving much but the ends of the rod will be over 90 degrees in...

    Cracked a TH400 case and support brackets with a NP205

    I believe this support is from "Trail Tech Fab .com" . Looks to be a pretty good design.

    Where to get new injectors or rebuild kit?

    I bought a set. It's a "Great deal !!!" . You can buy a complete set of six, for the price of just one from certain venders here.
