Glad to see one of us was able to get this stuff. That seemed like a great deal to me.

That truck has some good parts on it if you could get it really cheap. Bumper looks good, fuel tank if it isn't rusted out, gauges, axles, airpak, glass, fenders, doors, etc. Hardtops seem to be hard to find here in the states. That bed might be from an M928 or M814.

That is the TCV right? I just found where it is located. That will be one of the first things I look at when I start working on the orange truck. I know the oil pressures were right.

I like the original OD a lot. If those other two are real military camo, why not paint them back how they are. They look neat I think.

I'd be all over that if I was closer.

Electrical isn't my strong point. Need to work on that.:doh:

Got it figured out. (Pg. 304 of TM9-8024) The two wires hooked to the battery cable are 82 and 4. The other one is 7. It needs hooked back to the dash. What was throwing me off was 4 and how it appears to be run through the engine connector. Adding the "slave battery receptacle" should be easy.

That is very close and it most resembles the early style. I just don't see where it shows the 3 wires. Am I missing something or overlooking it?

I stand corrected. The wheels on my parts trucks are M35/M211 as well. Just never noticed. Hopefully the spare on #4984 is a M135 rim or I might be searching for a couple of them. Now to figure out the wiring questions.

More transmission part numbers added.

Last Saturday I had a little time and ended up washing 30 years worth of dirt out of the engine compartment and cab of the orange M135 (#4984) and looking things over before I try to start it back up. Does anyone know what the rear wheel (right wheel in the pic) here belongs too? It is...

What kind and color of paint are they using? Looks good.

We definitely need a transmission rebuild thread. This is great info! All those parts make this look a little intimidating but I think I can do it. I could still use those, but if you need to wait a while, that will be fine. I'm going to try checking linkage, TCV, etc. before I tear into the...

Found one. PM sent. It would be neat to find out if this is something commonly available at the part store so we could add it to our parts list.

I'm not sure. I'll go look in my parts stash later today and let you know if I have an extra old one.

I have a similar problem with my M135 when it is hot. Not as noticeable in the cooler weather, but more so during the summer months. Really interested in seeing what solves this for you.

Glad to see you made it over here. Pictures would help us a lot on answering your questions. The carburetor used on the G749 series is the Holley 885-FFG. Here are some pics of one I ended up rebuilding.

I adjusted mine with the wheels on after I had assembled everything. Just jacked up one axle at a time and both wheels turned freely. Worked well for me. I am pretty sure this was the issue with my new wheel cylinder leaking problem a while back. The master cylinder that was on the truck had...

Sounds good on the master parts list. We can work together if you want and add it all to our spreadsheet for everyone. Let me know what I can do to help. Hopefully you can find a truck close by here soon.

The pressure is on now to get my M135 done. 8)
