Thanks for the feed back.

I am looking into split brake system now. There are a lot of threads about this, mostly for the cousin truck m35.
I want to run this idea by some others to see if I am on base.
Since G-749 is a gas engine I can run a car style vacuum brake booster, which lead me to the f-550 brake booster and...

Well I have done some adjustment already and I hope I did not mess up my tranny.
I am trying to do the adjustment that the below picture explain. I get the impression that the transmission always need adjusting, maybe that do to overworking/overloading the trucks regularly.

Hi all, I recently got an 1952 XM211.
I am going through almost every maintenance I can find, so I decided to adjust the front transmission band.
To start off the adjuster and check pin are probably the most difficult place they could have put it, but I digress.
My real issue is when I removed...

I went down to Bothell dept. of revenue and spoke with ladies there. I was pleasant and they had fun looking at picture of deuces. They did a Google search and NADA search, they ended up agreeing with my price and I paid taxes right then. No appraisal fees or any other headaches...
I just got myself a 1952 m211. It was previously(currently) registered as a collector vehicle. Well I went to licensing office and they almost let me transfer the title, but they needed the fair market value so they could charge me with sales tax. The bill of sale wouldn't cut it, and she could...
