Top End Maintenance/Ol'Rusty 10 Ton

[Dirt71]

Got some color on today. I went with the 24087 from Aervoe. I would like any feed back on how this paint hold's up as the color is just what I want on other vehicle's that I plan on restoring.

Couple more pic's,
Went thru and adjusted the valves. there was only one intake valve that didnt need adjusting. Everything else was out, but not to bad. Also cleaned and installed the Gov. drive and Distributor. Also the Comp. mount.

Cleaned and painted the compressor.

Amazing those exhaust manifolds have coolant passing through them. The intake manifold just has those two little holes for the air/fuel mixture to pass through, must be traveling at the speed of light to produce that power! You are the MASTER OF M123 TRUCK MAINTENACE

Picked up the carb. this morning. I highly recemend these guys.

A few more pics. Getting closer to refiring Ol'Rusty. But my job is going to delay that. I fly out tomorrow to Germany, but I will be back next Thursday. I still have to have the radiator recored and a couple other small things.

Somebody's going to get a heck of a shock when they open the hood to see that motor lurking in there.

That's the whole idea.

going to have to say, that that is one cool looking intake system

Definatley no complaints about that engine. Ole Rustys going to be a sleeper truck well as much as a 10 ton can be a sleeper

 

[dc3coyote]

This is a dumb question but will a standard m35 cab fit on it?
Also I need your address.

The M35, M54 series 5-tons, and the M123 10-ton series all had the same cabs.
