There are great books out there that cover theory and settings. No matter where you learn to weld, hands on experiance is the only way you get better. I have never taken any courses and can weld to suit any of my needs including restoring many vehicles. Like Cdub said , go out and by a GOOD mig...

Nice truck. Had one for 6 years and really loved it. Moved up to a deuce.

Change the fuel filter or filters for the surge. Sounds like a brake caliper sticking for the brake problem.

The ignition switch could be hanging up. I would check that first.

Thanks Steve for the advice. I don't like leaving parts out either. I just didn't know if they found that the trans performed better without it. I'm going to install it the same way it came out, with the check valve and spring. The REB SHIFT kit is already installed in the trans, all I have to...

Yes, Looking forward to a copy also. I have a rebuilt unit sitting in my garage waiting to go in this spring.It already has a REB-SHIFT kit on it. Anything I should know before installing it? Memphis parts catalog says the ckeck valve and spring between the two torus halves are no longer needed...

Linda, meet SWEET LORRAINE!!!! Welcome to the site.

A REB-SHIFT KIT of course!!!!

Still sounds like a bad signal light switch.The brake lights run through the signal switch.You might try to wiggle the signal handle a bit with your foot on the brake to see if the lights come on.

Neighbors will come and go but OD IRON will never die....They just MULTIPLY!!!!

You guys are right about the switch but you should be able to get at the wires at the bottom of the steering column without taking the steering wheel off.Just probe wires or connector with a meter and monitor voltage with signal on.It should vary fom voltage to zero if the switch is good.I have...

Thanks guys for the input. Any non functional 105's out there for sale either restored or for restoration?

If power is coming out of the back of the switch, It's probably an open circut [broken wire] close to the switch or just before a splice.

Great job on every detail! Takes a lot of patience to have an end result like that. Markings are perfect. Many years of fun with that truck.

Would someone be able to post some pics of the west coast style on an m-211.I have the original single stick with napa rectangular mirrors. Not going to be enough for road use.Shake like crazy! Need to know who's about to pass you on the right. Thanks, Bob

I would like to know the artillary piece that would have been towed behind the 50's GMC model deuces. Have seen pictures of them in Korea but don't know the model or caliber.Also are any still avallable and at what price.Does anyone have that info? Nothing badder than a deuce towing a big gun!

Thanks ACE for correcting me.I did mean AIR-PAK. Sorry for the miss info.

It's nice to have other people appreciate your hard work.Thanks guys!I did not know what truck the bed came from cause it was just set on the frame when I bought it.Thank you for identifying it for me.I love this site.As I said before, the data plate on the dash and the frame number prove it...

About that oil leak.Did you get the truck with the crankcase over full?What you should do is drain down the oil to the full level and drive somemore to see if the level creeps up again.Overfull crankcases can cause oil leaks.If it does, you may be getting fuel in the oil .If it doesn't, maybe...

I agree with you 100%. Just because we own MILITARY VEHICLES does not mean you can load them till the springs bottom out. My GMC is rated at 10000 lbs highway and 5000 lbs off road.Now if you want to overload your truck off road thats up to you.The only thing it will hurt is your truck.But if...
