News flash: Steyr trucks are as common in Europe as Internationals over here. Only problem is, the Europeans scrap nearly everything more than 10 years old. There are very few "wrecking yards" over there, can you imagine the environmental crisis if a drop of oil fell on some soil?? Can you...

Welcome. You have a M54A2 which is a member of the M39 family of vehicles. Looks like the one you are looking at was rebuilt by Memphis Equipment at one point. The data plate stamping is way too neat for having been done in the military.

The venerable Champion J-8C, AC 45 etc.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. Try to post in threads that are about your particular truck, like you did with your dead battery issue. You are not the first person that thought the giant box on top of your HET is an A/C unit.

Very interesting. So the LMTV needs 370 hp to go 75 mph it would appear? So 225 hp trucks must run out of steam around 65 or so when running the high speed axle ratio.

What are you hearing when you apply and release the handbrake?

Use search terms "SECM".

Are your batteries any good?

For years I have been stencilling using an aerosol can, always battling the inevitable spray-under that makes the letters look like crap. Well today my paint crew taught this dog a new trick: use a roller! Turned out better than anything I have ever done.

Welcome. Tall singles means 47s or 53s? The 427 should fly especially bobbed. Are you getting lots of exhaust smoke, I mean Prius Repellant grade? Should be. TEAD would not have been rebuilding 427's in the 80's, all the 427s were junked long before that.

You might be in uncharted waters. Can't see why it would not work. Truck just has a warm air defrost, is that an issue?

Tell us what position the levers are on the air line valves at the pogo stick.

Correct.

No, electricity does not care about making turns. I was under the impression that the M38 wires were too short for the A1.

Did you ohm out the coil?

Yes, the orange rubber inside the braid provides the seal. M38A1s are not supposed to have 90 deg ends, you were sold wrong parts.

If you take it to a shop, they will slather bondo over the rust and it will look nice for a while. Suggest YOU get the rust blasted off before taking it to a body shop.

Weebee Webbing, Beechwood Canvas, New Life Canvas.

Which is better, a slab condenser mounted in front of the radiator, or one of Red Dot's remote condenser with 24 volt fans? This is a non-vehicle specific question. Seems like 99% of civi on-highway trucks use the radiator mount condenser. Off highway seems to use the remote mount. I don't...

Welcome. See about making a day trip over to Brenham to get your high speed gears, and Navasota for some aluminum rims.
