That is a good part number. I've used it and it works well. Would be awesome if you were able to do a "How To" video or write up with pics on the water pump rebuild. Any chance of that happening?

This belt thing got me curious and I found a bit of info on it in TM 9-8024 on page 264. It says, "The correct tension is when a light pressure on belt midway between generator and water pump pulley causes 1/2- to 3/4- inch deflection." Then I found this on page 232 of TM 9-8025-1. How does...

Did he describe how to know if the belt is too tight, too loose or just right? I need to check mine now and adjust it if needed.

You will like having a functioning airpak. Makes a huge difference! Just a slight push on the brake pedal and you will feel it engage. When will you install the rebuilt one? What else did you find in that treasure chest?

I have not been able to find a correct intake hose at all either. I ended up using the Spectre flex hose. It has worked well with some slight modification. Too bad the filter did not do as advertised. Do you have a source for the headlight rubber isolator mounts? I can check my parts trucks...

Is that a Spectre filter on the top of your carburetor? Does the truck run different with it as opposed to the original oil bath? I had thought about doing the same thing for driving around and then hooking up the old original filter for display purposes.

What color did you use on your bridge plate? Everything is looking real good!

That all looks great! Could you post some more pictures on how you did the main power switch? I need to do the same. Electrical is not my strong point.

Do you know how to test the military wires to see if they are any good? I have two sets, but would need to get the military spark plugs. I don't want to buy those just to find out the wires are bad after I install everything.

Are you using the military distributor and military plugs, civilian distributor and civilian plugs or military distributor with civilian plugs? My truck tries to run like what you are describing. I have military distributor with civilian plugs. Maybe one of mine is cracked as well.

All the ones I have seen are painted, but the one currently in my truck has a slick, shiny surface underneath and the paint chips off. The paint on it does not come off as easily as yours. I am probably going to try self etching primer on mine to see if that helps before I repaint it.

Did you use original exhaust parts or did you have some made up new?

Look on page 573 of TM9-8024. We are missing the control lever lock. I have never noticed it before.

Is this what you are looking for? Are you missing the plate that the lever goes through? I may have one on the parts trucks.

Not yet. Mine are good for now. I have just read that they are prone to cracking and leaking but didn't know that they could be welded and reused.

Is that a weld on the lower piece? Can they still be used if they are welded?

I checked the parts trucks today and I do not have a fording plate. Sorry.

Ok. I don't think I have that but will check in the next few days.

What is the fording plate? Is it a data plate or the round piece that goes on the dash part that leads to the air cleaner? I may have one on my parts trucks.

How are you applying the black paint and getting it off of the raised portions without sanding? I am getting ready to do the plates on my truck too.
