Have you contacted Bill Lammers in Ocala, Florida? He posted a topic on g741.org in the Swap Meet section that he's disposing of his sizeable collection of parts, and he specifically listed fuel tanks.

Broncorick, that "L" shaped terminal is an attachment bracket for an unused Douglas connector. There is likely no pin on the male half of the connector (the half attached to the "L" bracket), so it doesn't connect the circuit to ground. You'll usually find one of these "L" bracket dead ends...

Do you use the premium because it's the only grade available without ethanol, or is there another reason for choosing a higher octane?

Interesting looking lower lever section on that PTO. Maybe something from a civilian Power Wagon or an XM708 dump truck to allow for a double-ended PTO?

Not a 440, but it is an LB big block Chrysler: http://www.g741.org/PHPBB/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7226

Take a look at Fig. 90 on page 177 of TM9-8030 (May 1955). There's an exploded view of the pieces that make up the rear engine mount (which is actually a bell housing mount, as the engine is only directly supported at the front).

Email sent.

Storm, I have a paper copy of TB 9-2320-212-20-2 if that's what you're looking for. I can scan it and email it to you tomorrow night.

Likely a part number or die number by the frame manufacturer, Midland Steel Products in Detroit/Cleveland.

I can't find a supplier code in the ORD 9 SNL for the body tub, so it might have been assembled in house by Chrysler. The only other likely candidates would be Briggs or Budd, but Briggs doesn't appear in the list of suppliers in the front of the SNL for the G-741 vehicles. As for Fisher Body...

Roller is correct. These are oil drain baffles and they go in the tappet galleries, behind the stamped steel covers with the thumb screws. The hat points up, into the tappet gallery. I'm not certain if these are unique to the T245 engine (which is pictured), but I can't find them in the...
