    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I have the stock fuel pump but have not checked to see how much pressure it is putting out. I will do that. Feels that way sometimes. I will check that. What regulator did you use? I found the Holley 12-804 and was considering that if the pressure from my stock military pump is too high.

    Check this link out on the airpak rebuild. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?70703-M220-AirPak-rebuild I'll be attempting it in the near future as well.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I finally got a chance to look at my carburetor this weekend. It was rebuilt in December, but is still not right. I thought maybe the float was set wrong and that was what was making it flood easy and load up at idle. The truck runs great at highway speeds (I stay around 45 mph), but stumbles...

    That is a good looking M211!!! I would add a fuel filter just before the carburetor to keep things from plugging up. There is a screen inside the carburetor just above where the fuel line connects. That is probably full of junk. Here is a picture of what I am talking about. Please forgive the...

    I have some of the boots at home. I'll look and see if I have enough for 12 wheel cylinders. I just called the local Napa and they have some of the boots in stock. PM sent to you.

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    Sorry for taking so long. My scanner is not wanting to work or I would just post up the pages you need. Go to this link, open the TM and go to pages 155-157. This will tell you how to test the distributor. Page 222 shows how things are supposed to be hooked up in the distributor. Keep in mind...

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    When I get home this evening, I will look up in my TM how to test. There is a way but I don't remember the process without the manual. The test works. I knew I had a condenser fail, replaced it with another one that was supposed to be good and still the same issue. That is when I tested by the...

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    Could you post a picture of the inside of the distributor? I am curious to see if it is the same as the M135. If so, I will compare it to what I have and we will see. If the same, my TM tells how to test everything. I had to go through that too. It was a condenser. (This was before the cap cracked.)

    Window, Door, Windshield weatherstrip, etc

    Post up what weatherstrip you have found that is or could be a replacement for what was on the G749s. Seems like we may have found some and it is listed in another thread. I thought I would try to get it in a central location for ease of locating later on. Door window run channel...

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    Have you looked for small cracks or burn marks in your distributor cap? My M135 acted like that and turns out it was the distributor cap. The crack was so small I could barely see it, but it was enough to cause me a lot of problem.

    If you have the 1-3/8 bore cylinders, those will work great. They will be loose on the 1-1/4 bore. You can put a zip tie around the boot to tighten it up, but I am not sure how that would hold up or for how long.

    Please post up any part numbers you find. I'll add them to the part list if we don't have it listed already. Best place to buy seals...I found most of mine on RockAuto for reasonable price. Most of my outer wheel seals were able to be reused, but I did find NOS ones on eBay to have on hand. I...

    G749 preservation

    I did the same a few months back. :oops: Luckily I was not far from a gas station. An additional 5 gallons made it fire right up.

    Value of truck question

    Hammer down on the bolt that holds the cap on to free things up if there is corrosion. Not too hard though. Then try loosening the bolt. I agree with what plowboy says. I too have never seen one of these trucks that the brakes were ready to go with a simple fill and bleed.

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    That is really neat! Could you post up several pictures of the stand in addition to the video and the drawings? I'd like to study the pictures along with the drawings.

    Metal Magnets's M211 teardown and future rebuild.

    I would like a drawing with dimensions of the stand please. Yep. I had one blow out when my condenser failed. Luckily I was able to have the muffler welded back up.
