    New early deuce owners in Oklahoma *Lucy*

    That paint is the perfect shade. If "Lucy" ends up with one of your beds I would be interested in the other for a M34 project.

    New early deuce owners in Oklahoma *Lucy*

    No GMC M135's left the factory in any color other than olive drab shade FS 24087. Back in the day, the Defense Department would make surplus tactical vehicles available to agencies such as the fire department under the Civil Defense program. There were offices at bases all over the US where...

    WOW where did you find those pictures? See how the truck originally had singles then the fire dept dualled her out for some reason.

    New early deuce owners in Oklahoma *Lucy*

    46 matches your main data plate, so yup you have a '52 M135 cargo truck without winch. The arctic enclosure (hard cab) was a sought after item for fire departments that did not want to mess with canvas tops.

    M3A1 Stuart Tank With E5R2 Flamethrower Fuel Tank Unit Installed!!!

    Very cool. Looks like a nitrogen? tank that pressurizes some kind of flammable liquid? Is the discharge nozzle attached to the 37 mm? Did a radio usually go in that spot?

    New early deuce owners in Oklahoma *Lucy*

    Well what can we tell you. The main data plate says M135 without winch, build year 5/52. M135 is the single rear wheel truck and given the way the hubs are set up on your rear tandem, that is what you have. Can you look for the stamped VIN on the frame under the passenger side fender kinda...

    Will these rims fit?

    Those aluminum rims are off MRAPs and that bolt pattern is not 10 hole Budd and will not fit.

    Various dates on an LMTV M-1079

    Yup fuzzy nailed it. The FMTV was Stewart and Stevenson’s first rodeo with road trucks, prior to this they built off highway vehicles only. The factory was right off I-10 and over the years I would see hundreds of partially completed trucks sitting outside in the weeds, waiting for this that...

    Stranded in Grand Junction, Colorado.

    How did you check the wires? When resistor wires degrade they don't pass enough energy to fire the plug when the engine is under load.

    That’s a thousand miles away, best hot shot haul rate you will get is $2.00/mile, suggest fix whatever failed right there with that money rather than blow it on hauling.

    600V 60KW 3Ph 50/60hz Set

    Use a calculator like this: https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/kW_to_Amp_Calculator.html to go from kW to amps at the two voltages. If your machine has starting surge current, your 60kW generator will not start it. If it has a big AC motor, the 90kW they were previously using is about right.

    Transmission seal leak

    Maybe take something from your ladies cabinet and replace it every 28 days

    600V 60KW 3Ph 50/60hz Set

    I'd look into a 480 to 600 step up transformer in order to use a standard generator set.

    M-52 Recovery

    Your VIN 9524-130XX comes back as a 1968 Kaiser Jeep. I think some depot didn't have the proper data plates at rebuild time and used some older plates they had.
