    NSN Numbers?

    I suppose I should have clarified that I have never seen the contract number and FSN on an M135 data plate. Sorry for the confusion. These are 3 of the 4 data plates off of the trucks I own. Is it possible the Ord. Stock Number stamped on two of the plates is the number that is being searched for?

    Type of oil to use?

    I read that the Canadian Military switched to using 15w40 in these engines. I have also heard that Shell Rotella 15w40 has the zinc additives that old engines need. You'll have to decide what is best for you but this is what I plan to run in mine when I get her back on the road. Shell...

    behr paint code for 1958/59 24087 semigloss od.

    I'm not positive what shade it is you are looking for, but I matched this color off of a 1950s dated gas can. It is what I am painting my M135 with. It is Behr semi-gloss. Here is the color match on the gas can. The darker green spot in the upper right corner was my first attempt. The final...

    1953 xm211 resurection

    I am using this airless sprayer from Harbor Freight with a Graco 315 tip. It works really well. I have not had to thin the paint at all to spray. https://www.harborfreight.com/airless-paint-sprayer-kit-60600.html Your paint should be fine if it isn't bubbling up or anything. A few days in the...

    1953 xm211 resurection

    I'm using Behr as well. So far I am very happy with it, but I have been careful to not get it wet until dry. What is the paint doing since it keeps getting wet?

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Here are the measurements of my exhaust stack. :roll: Trying to find a truck with a cab heater isn't so easy down here. I think Canada ended up with all of them. One of these days I'll have to try to get you to sell me one or two.

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    I think that explains why mine is so hard to start in the cold. Too much fuel. I'll have to try the method you guys that live in real cold use.

    Contemplating a Bobber! To do or not to do that is the question!

    If that is the U-joint in plowboy's book you are looking for, we have it in our parts list as Spicer 5-115X, Rockwell CP115X, Dana 4-6-128X and Precision 332. You can probably find the dimensions you are looking for googling one of those.
