Does your truck have this piece that the spare tire carrier bolts to? I am betting it was cut off when your fuel tank was mounted in its place. That part is riveted on and I do not have power where my parts trucks are to grind them off. Unless I can find someone with a generator that can...

Sounds good. I'll try to get out and get one pulled here soon.

I'm sorry to hear of the loss Dave. Let us know if you need anything.

It does for sure have some play up and down. Side to side maybe not so much, but I will try to remove the drive line this week and see if there is any side to side. I'll see if I can get some video footage of what I am talking about and post it up. There is some noise like in the video, but...

Updated above post with videos to better explain my problem. Also found this on the front wheels not engaging while in reverse, but the details on what was adjusted are not there or maybe I am not understanding what is to be adjusted...

The brakes are bled, adjusted, tested and all six wheels are stopping and releasing like they are supposed to. The truck is on jack stands still and I will be watching to see if the wheel cylinders develop any leaks like before. The cab top is off the truck as is the bed and while watching to...

Rubber stud headlight holders added.

Additional pinion seal number added.

I will get those headlight studs added to the list! Was the rubber place local that made the strips and mudflaps? I need a set of those too. What seals are they using to put back on that hardtop in place of the old ones? I will also need to replace mine soon.

I will probably be interested in 2 at some point. Not a big hurry yet as I am trying to get mine back together and painted first. Let me know the cost when they get it figured out.

That's them. It wasn't brake fluid that caused my problems. Most definitely gear oil. I too have the level 1/2 to 3/4 inch below the fill hole and the axle vent is clear. Maybe 1 inch below is another step in solving this. What would happen if we ran something heavier than 90w gear oil?

Overkill I will probably not be happy with myself later on because the Permatex is a pain to clean off, but this is my attempt to stop gear oil from getting in the wheel bearings. The outer hub seals are good, the key way had the seal and Permatex Ultra Black in it and still gear oil got in. I...

I was watching Vietnam in HD last night and saw some M135's in use in Vietnam. Skip ahead and the trucks should come up at 21:10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPh1_BH5LXE

I have a couple spare tire carriers on my parts trucks. No idea what they might weigh or how easy/awkward they are to ship since I have never taken one off of a truck. Maybe we can look around and see if anyone is going though this area on their way up to yours over in the Transportation section.

Need more info on the fuel filter system and gas tank strap material! I like it.

I used these on mine. https://www.napaonline.com/p/FPB60986 OD 2.95" ID 2.5" Thickness 1/2". Probably won't get much closer than that. That muffler sounds real good.

You might give Vintage Wiring of Maine a call. At one time I believe they sold pieces for the harness and I know they still make complete wiring harness for these. http://vintagewiring.com/product-category/m-series/m135/ It looks like the spare tire carrier was removed and the fuel tank...

Gear oil in rear wheel bearings I am in the process of hooking the rear brakes back up and am taking everything back apart after putting everything on new a year ago. New inner hub seal, cork key way seal, etc. I still have gear oil getting into the wheel bearings. The truck probably doesn't...

That is a good part number. I've used it and it works well. Would be awesome if you were able to do a "How To" video or write up with pics on the water pump rebuild. Any chance of that happening?

I am pleased with the way it turned out. The differences in the primed spot that you can see is because the primer was not dried yet. We'll see how the primer holds onto it before I go much further.
