Wow ... unanswered 2010 conversation. Same question here. Wondering if a hydroboost unit would fit underfloor to retain stock brake pedal location instead of switching to hanging pedals. Hydroboosts are no taller than a typical master cylinder and the compensator hangs below. I believe the...

Can someone please post the dimensions of the Pioneer tool rack ... length, width, depth. Thinking of adding this to my M152 but can't find size info anywhere. Might not fit.

This is a test post.

Did not get a front axle yet. Hunting for a Dana 60 to have shortened on the driver's side. They are kind of expensive. No real rush on that, though. Even if I install the diesel, trans, transfer and rear axle, I can still drive it with the stock front axle sans driveshaft for a while.

Update 7/18/17. Posted for sale ads at Steel Soldiers and G741. Come and get them parts :-) Got a great price on a 2006 Chevy 14 bolt full floater, dually 4.10 rear axle with disc brakes, all six 8 lug dually wheels and tires and a divorced NP205 off of local Craigslist. Axle came from a...

Update 7/8/17. Installed an electric fuel pump back by the fuel tank in place of the failed mechanical pump and, upon hooking new fuel line to the Carter carburator, the needle valve bung is stripped. The threads in the Carter body are completely gone. The only practical solution is to...

Finding a source of these hooks for the black-out shade D rings would be greatly appreciated. If nothing remotely similar, I will switch to common double d-ring on one end and pass the strap through like on a motorcycle helmet.

Another M152 update 6/27/17. Mods have been back-burnerd as I added a second garage onto my existing residence with a 9'3" tall overhead door to house the M152 and/or any other future project. Garage is insulated and will be getting a mini-split airconditioner. It's 115 degrees now in...

Time for an update. Have been working on the rear box disassembly while still keeping the truck drivable. Been taking it to the weekly Pavilions Cruise in Scottsdale, AZ where it receives tons of attention. Unlike the other hands-off garage queens, I let kids climb all over it like a jungle...

Has anyone removed the Southwind heater and heater box from their rear compartment? I have removed all the heater components and controls and am pulling my hair out trying to figure out how the heater box is secured to the truck. I want it gone. That's where the refrigerator has to go...

Update: just got the truck delivered on Saturday. Runs, drives, is built much tougher than imagined. Looks like a repaint done in the '80's. Metal is in wonderful conditon with only a few spots requiring any rust patching. Minor dents and dings can be floated out and primed prior to the...

The rear opening size is limited by the interior tub, which is an angular item. Even grafting a M37 fender may not fit. May have to remove the interior tubs and repace it with matching M37 bed tubs. Will get it all figured out when the replacement 14 bolt axle is procured.

I respect a 'restoration' advocates positon, but I simply have zero appreciation of garage queens. Zero. Most vehicles are meant to be driven. And, because of the M152's special design, it will enjoy a future of traveling this great nation ... forests, beaches, national parks ... and be seen...

Thank you for the link. That went for 5K? Paid $8,500 for the great condition, long wheelbase M152 :-)

Do you have a link to that M37? Would love to check it out. Glenn

I made a vehicle speed spreadsheet years ago and just plugged M152 numbers in tonight. Eye opener. The stock Isuzu 4bd2t has 135 HP at 3000 rpm and max 255 ft lb torque at 2,000 rpm. This can be tweaked up. I used torque max of 2,000 rpm as the goal in the speed range. 4.89 axles are out...

Holy Crap! Things change quickly. Made a smokin' deal on the two (2) Isuzu 4bd2t engines, one complete and running and one with a cracked head. The runner has an attached, brand new NV4500 bell housing, clutch and throw-out bearing (a . Both engines have 12 volt alts, airconditioning...

Been on this site for years waiting and waiting to pounce on the right M152 communications/command truck. Found an excellent condition, running, driving unit with less than 10,000 miles? in Denver, licensed and titled in Colorado. Bought it for, I believe, a song considering its condition...
