You make it sound so enticing. I planned to get a set of chains, so I will start there and buy lockers next year if I find that I need them. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I'll start one today. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Huh, I hadn't thought about that. Do you know what model axle/diff these have sp that I can look into how much the selectable lockers are actually going to cost me? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I love this list, thanks for all of the effort! One improvement that I would find useful is to put a description of each component next to the group. For example under engine put GMC 302 inline 6. In the transmission put Hydramatic xxxxxx. I was hoping to find what differential is in these...

I purchased my M211 for snow plow usage and because of the open differentials I see a potential for getting stuck. I have heard you can get Detroit lockers for these, but they cost something like $600-$800. Has anyone welded their gears inside their differential? I would only drive the truck...

I'm realizing these are hard to come by. The person that owned my m211 before me converted to 12v, bit I want to take it back to 24v. Is the 24v ignition coil for an m35 the same as what I would need for the m211? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I apologize if this is a duplicate thread, but I have searched with no real clarity found. Are all 7" housings/bulbs the same? I want to swap out some led bulbs into the stock housings, but who do I know if they will fit? Also, are the stock headlights 24v or 12v? If they are 24v I will just...

Does anyone know about led upgrades for the 7" rounds? I can find lots of them on amazon, but want to make sure they will fit in my 1953 M211. Any way to know that, or are they universal? I know I would have to run an inverter to drop down to 12v, bit that's not a big deal. Sent from my...

Thanks for this info. I will definitely try some of the tips before I rip the transmission out of the truck. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Thanks for the feedback guys. He is definitely a fun to watch professor (even if he did say um a lot). I actually emailed him to ask a couple more questions and compliment him on the videos and he responded within 5 minutes with more information. He said that was truly a fun project for him...

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum, but I thought I'd share an amazing set of videos I found regarding the Hydra Matic transmission, it's history and function, and assembly. It is all done by a professor from Weber State University in Utah. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/ygkRuwCpKxU...
