What I have to fill is mainly some small pits from welding that could not be avoided and the heat from the weld made some of the larger patches dish inwards a bit. Nothing close to 1/4 inch deep. I did spray primer on everything for now since it is so humid here, everything rusts really quick...

I have never used Bondo either. I was wanting something that will outlast me and liked the idea of putting metal back on there. How hard are you talking about when you say Lab Metal is hard to sand? Have to use a grinder with a flapper wheel hard or use an orbital sander hard? I was thinking...

We finally got the welding done on my truck yesterday. Rusted out spots and unnecessary holes were fixed. The antenna hole in the hardtop was patched. I am really happy about it and can start prepping to paint now. I'm ready for this ugly truck to look nice. Some of the patches look rough, but...

Are you positive there is not a check valve in the master cylinder too? I've been hearing talk that doubled up check valves can cause brakes not to release as well. Mine had them doubled up. It should be like this. Since our check valve is in the airpak. Those exhaust parts look great!

Thank you for sending those! Looks like you guys are busy. So your guys found a bunch more parts #'s ?! That is great!!!

Here is what I found, but I have not called to see if the thread size is 3/8-24. http://www.classicindustries.com/product/1950/truck/parts/cx1083.html If you order one of these and it works, will you let me know so I can add it to the parts list?

I put a shift knob on the orange M135. I've had this knob off a 50's GMC/Chevy manual transmission for a few years. Turns out it works perfect and looks exactly like the one on my other M135. Small victories make me as happy as big ones. It appears that the shift knobs on the 1950's GMC...

Tech Tips says... TECH TIP: POLARIZING GENERATOR Whenever the generator or voltage regulator is disconnected the generator must be polarized. Failure to do this will result in a NO-CHARGE condition and possible DAMAGE to the generator. Disconnect the wiring harness cable at the generator. Use a...

I have Bob Kettler's Tech Tips that talks about that. I will look it up when I get home and get back with you if you don't figure it out before then.

I put a little air into the differential where the vent line bolts in. The rear differential held the little bit of air and it came back out when I moved the air nozzle away. The middle one just leaked air out around where the drive shaft bolts on I think. I hope it is only the pinion seal that...

Find you a G749 fuel tank and an M35A2/M211 bed and you'll be all set. I hope this works out for you to get.

Good info. My gas cap is in the non-fording position so I guess it isn't working. Looks like I need to get a new one. Unless someone knows how to repair them? Please let me know how to do so if anyone does. I also forgot to mention that while blowing air through the lines and connections to...

Fuel tank vent line question Yesterday I was checking to make sure all the vent lines on my truck were clear and functioning. I've noticed that the gas tank can build up a lot of pressure. I loosened the line and found this check valve. It was not moving freely so the gas tank was not venting...

Very well said. I wish more people would understand this and get a little more reasonable on their asking prices. I am confident that I will never recoup the money I have in mine, but the enjoyment the truck gives me is worth it within reason. Just don't tell my wife we'll never get all our...

I've heard that could cause them to reproduce. I ended up with 4 trucks under similar circumstances.

Good find!

You found some good stuff!!!

I have not found out anything about these plugs. Sorry. Does anyone know who sells the Century ignition parts? I can't seem to find anything about them. That distributor cap would be good to add to the parts list if we could find who sells them. I know Century makes the caps too. When I look up...

I haven't seen that thread since 2013 and forgot about it, but I think we should start adding to it. It is a really good one. I might add that I don't mind the information being on my thread at all. I just thought it would be easier for everyone to find in a central location. Good transmission...

Neat truck!! Looks like it might have been in Desert Storm. Welcome to the forum!
