The truck does not have a fail safe circuit that would kill the engine if the oil pressure fails. So whatever caused your engine to stall is not related to the oil pressure reporting systems. The red light came on as it should have when the engine oil pressure was zero. The flickering gauge is...

Wow. Trucks like that get parted out by me without even giving it a second thought.

You should start a thread on that subject. My vote is TX, where else can you register a 2015 MV for $50 for 5 years with no inspection required?

The B means she started life as a cargo truck with winch, and the 2 means she has the GM corporate (banjo) driveline. Vehiclesofvictory.com has a lot on info on these truck you may find useful. Looks like a typical minimal rust California truck, one that the rest of us wish we could find...

The cover will have a part number stenciled on it, that will help. The cover will have ropes sewn in on both ends. Also there will be 6 buckles for the tie up straps down each side. The dimension from the #1 buckle to the #6 buckle will be 14' approx.

Trailer looks good for being 70 years old. There are 15" tubeless rims available, they were used on CJ's in the 1970's and Ford trucks from the same era. You will have to do some scrounging around. I'll buy your combats if they are excess to you. Oh and welcome to Steelsoldiers.

I do not have firsthand knowledge of this swap other than knowing it was widely done by surplus dealers in the distant past. The driveshafts are in the same or very similar locations on both cases. The jackshaft U-joints are completely different and will require a custom built jackshaft. The...

Does the engine bar over?

This is highly unusual. What type of registration was revoked? The truck resembles a rollback wrecker, so it appears they want you to get tow truck plates and register with the TDLR and all that mess. This should all be explained to you by the tax office or the TXDMV office in Austin.

Welcome Legio. I've seen a lot of shelters but never one like this. Can you give more details on dimensions and materials of construction?

Late shifts are probably part of what makes the valve body "racing/performance". I would have fixed the broke piston like rustystud said and gone on with life.

I'm tired of looking at ragged out Pepsi trucks on the GL ads. Why can't they put US Gov't surplus items, that is why we are here. HINT HINT

Guys got an issue with a buddy's 880. He decided to rebuild the front axle hubs using new bearings. Upon reassembly, the rotor wobbles back and forth about 1/4". Looks like the old bearings had been loose and spinning in the hub, and now the new bearings are loose too. Any simple fixes for...

Augusta Engine Parts has them.

That is too funny. A truck model "666" was owned by the most religiously conservatve christian university in the US.

The only thing Steyr on the FMTV is the cab, everything else except for some steering components is US. Your truck has an earlier version of the Steyr cab than was used on the FMTV. You will have to go to Europe to source parts for your truck.

. Im serious about the offer, just need a way to get it loaded on a drop deck trailer.

It's worth $3000 to me. Did you get it to run?

Yes power is applied to the front axle in reverse. The engagement is a ratchet type mechanism that is reversed when you shift from forward to reverse. The only two speed transfers that were put into these trucks were the WWII GMC CCKW units that have ball bearings. The one you have in your...

Rustystud, is the broken 2-3 shift accumulator cup the reason the truck won't shift into 3rd?
