    Wire size to use?

    My Son's 1952 M135, inherited from my Daddy has been modified to standard shift tranny. Part of that is a different starter motor that is powered by a push button on the dash. When Dad did this he just used a piece of light electric extension cord for the two wires need. We often get a...

    M135 question?

    We are transferring my Dad's M135 ownership to my Son. In doing so the notary needs the un-laden weight. In looking at the manual I read that to be 12,330# without a winch! Am I reading that correct? I am surprised at it being that heavy, especially empty. Thanks for any in-put.

    Got a friend that just acquired a jeep that may be a military jeep from what little knowledge I have. At least he'd sure like to know what it is, model, year etc. I guess he didn't get a title as he thinks it is a 52 or so, but it is newer that that, I can tell that much. It is NOT flat...

    broke off air tank petcock in M135.......

    My Son, in his zeal to do good while draining moisture thought it best to remove the petcock and get rid of every last drop of water. Well we know what happened, broke off the petcock. It is in a hard place to get at but we tried "easy outs" with no luck, the brass left in the threaded hole...

    More trouble than I can handle...

    It's just one thing after another with this M135. The starter went out the day before Memorial Day. The only reason my Dad and I restored this truck was to haul Vets in parades, etc. Now I got a truck full of Viet Vets lined up for the 4th of July and still no starter fixed. I just took it...

    Type of oil to use?

    Going to have to do something about this oil leaking, but what ever we do I need to get the correct oil for this M135 six cylinder GMC gas engine. I was told at a parade that modern oils do not have the additives needed because of something to do with the bearings for the cam? He said that if...

    Oil Seals leaking??

    My Dad's 1953 M135 with a straight six GMC / Chevy engine has started to leak allot of oil and I think it is the rear main seal. Dad had this engine rebuilt and then it sat for at least 8 years or more. I figure it must have dried out? What kind of job is it to replace a seal in these engines...
