That was used on 1950's M-series trucks on the right rear, back when all cars and trucks only had one stop light on the left. The light is the blackout stop light, which lights up when you hit the brakes, in blackout mode. The bo stop light can still be found on vehicles like the M915, 916 920.

What, about 150 sacks of blast sand and 15 gallons of paint and she'll be good as new. Looking forward to see the progression.

How about motor freight? You guys send common carriers there for pick ups?

Yuck. I would not buy that until I crawled around underneath with a screwdriver poking for even more out of control rust.

The right most picture looks like the bottle jack that came in both my Air Force M35A2Cs.

Sounds like he is running the waterproof dist, there is no such wire, it is a part of the cap. EDIT: I think 73m819 is refering to the spring wire. I would unscrew the plug wires at the dist and crank the motor, you should see the spark jump around the towers as you crank it. If you have spark...

I have flat towed my M38A1 with no ill effects behind a deuce for hundreds of miles at a time. This means never faster than 55 mph. I did not remove any drive shafts. If you plan to flat tow it faster than 50-55 mph, I would recommend locking hubs up front and disconnecting the rear drive...

Do a stall speed test. Lock the brakes, put in drive, and floorboard it momentarily. RPMs should not exceed 1200 or so. Make sure the transmission is full of clean fluid first. I would also drive it around for a while to make sure the converter is full. They will drain down after months of...

DRMO for the most part did not give SF97s (title paperwork) for M151s as from almost the beginning of the disposal, they were requred to be cut in half, then in 4 pieces, or at the end, crushed. If the one you are looking at escaped that fate, and is not rusted badly, you have found a gem that...

Assuming your wrecker is the one in your picture, it will have an alternator and you don't polarize those. If you are putting 28 volts to the batteries and they will not take a charge, it's likely your batteries are shot.

Agreed, have your original repaired and then treat it with super care, i.e. put fresh coolant in there every few years. These radiators are very hard to find, and NOS ones are not to be found at all. The stock radiator will handle the common 350 Chevy swap.

They are made by Cole Hersee et al and are available online from Ryder Fleet and of course heavy duty parts houses.

So did you buy the $5700 M1031 SECM or the $3800 M1031 SECM today? Ouch! Did the high dollar one have all the tools? The Miller MIG?

Might wanna check the demil codes on that before you send it to anyone.

To move dead machines takes a RGN (removable goose neck) trailer and a truck with a big winch behind the cab. These type trucks are considered "special equipment" and get upwards of $4.00 a mile. Driving a 35 year old M916 with a 45 year old M172 cross country, even legally, is almost as...

Keywords are "M1031" and "SECM"

The engine start switch connects the minus pole of the start solenoid to ground. The start solenoid is located in the relay cabinet on the dash board. Is your voltmeter reading volts? I will assume not. The voltmeter only informs you if the 12 volt portion of the alternator is charging or...

If you hack around on the DLA/DRMS website: https://www.drms.dla.mil/rtd03/index.shtml you can roughly figure out what is up for donation/transfer. If nobody picks the item during the screening period, it goes to GL. It is a pain to constantly visit this site so I just wait for things to...

I would say the only lettering would be on the doors: 1st line: "U. S. Air Force" 2nd line: "59-1234" 3rd line: "For Official Use Only" The 59-1234 is the AF registration number, the 59 is the year the vehicle was taken into inventory, and the 1234 is a sequential number that theoretically...

It would have looked just like that only painted strata blue, FS 15045. You can see that color on the firewall.
