Post #4 in the link has your glass dimensions. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?80294-How-to-Rust-proof-reseal-window-frames

Found it when looking for M37 mirror. Thanks!

A little more progress. It is nice to finally start seeing some color. Does anyone know where to find a rearview mirror like this? I think it was used in some of the Jeeps, but I can't seem to find a NOS or repro. It appears that this was in my truck for a very long time, but the mirror part...

Sandblast it. It will save you so much time.

Great! Please let us know if it works. That is how we have built our parts list. All of us find modern equivalents of the old parts and we record it in the list so we can keep these trucks on the road.

We don't have a modern equivalent listed on our parts list. If you find one, will you post the part number so I can add it? Here is the link to the parts list. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?137722-G749-Parts-List

I'm not sure if you are wanting to stay with the military look or just want a G749 with a dump bed, but I just remembered this. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?150289-M211-M135-with-350-V8-and-4-speed-manual-transmission I have been meaning to check on this truck as it has been...

Welcome to the forum! I don't have an answer to your question, but I think you have a good idea and would like to explore this more too. Hopefully someone will chime in on how to do it.

Ok. I'll let you know what I come up with as soon as I get a chance to get to the sign shop. I think I found one in Tulsa.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this combination works out for you.

Great idea! I will check that.

I got all of my tires mounted but one. The locking ring for that wheel was bent when it was removed so I had to dig one out of the parts pile. It needs primed and painted before I can finish mounting the 7th tire. Ignore all the junk in the photo. I have parts stacked everywhere at the moment as...

Thank you. I will probably be selling off some things in the near future. When cooler weather gets here and after I finish my truck, I'm going to be dismantling my parts trucks, keeping/selling what is good and scrapping what can't be saved or used. I just saw you started up your own thread...

Welcome! Everyone is giving you a lot of good info. There are tons of parts available for these trucks but you do have to look for them. I have seen complete engine rebuild kits with rings, etc. on ebay. Could you post up a bunch of pics of your truck...inside, outside, underneath, etc.? With...

I used Rustoleum Rusty Metal primer.

I noticed that some of you are putting stars, hood numbers, etc., over the Behr paint. What stencils are you using? I am using Behr Premium Plus Ultra semi-gloss on my M135 and was looking at paint mask stencils. Has anyone had any issues getting these to stick in place? I thought I read...

Has anyone seen this thread by David Doyle? He's asking for input on including G749 history in his upcoming G742 books. I suggested G749 history be in a book of its own. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?170900-What-do-YOU-want-to-know-about-G-742-history

I would love to know more about the G749 series since it seems that there is little info out there about them. Maybe put this info in a book of its own?

BreakFree would be another good one. I was referring to a gallon of Vietnam era bore solvent.

Agreed. I have a gallon of the old bore solvent.
