Hey guys
Well, that day has come...I hate to do it...
I need to sell my '52. It's relatively complete, but has some major issues. I'll be scrapping the remnants, but for the love of the vehicle, I'm willing to take off any parts any of ya'll need for your trucks or just spare parts. Here's...
Well, my '51 GMC deuce needs some work, but I came upon a guy with 4 deuces and a 5 ton on a car lot not far from me, so I just wanted to stop in and chat. I figured from the condition of them they'd be going for 4-7k a piece. Got to chattin, and only 1 was still for sale, for $2800. I hope...
Hey guys
I had a mishap a while ago and I need a front axle; specifically, the driver's side axle, but I'll take anything I can get. 300 miles from St. Louis is about the limit as to how far I'd go. Lemme know whatcha got.
Hey guys
I had a mishap a month or so ago and totally blew out the birfield joint on the driver's side. Inner and outer axles are fine, but I think it'd probably be easier just getting a new complete axleshaft instead of repairing mine. Anyone have any of there laying around?
Hey guys
I recently had a little mishap on the way to the mud races, and my left-front wheel totally sheared off the truck; all 12 spindle bolts gave up the ghost, and the birfield joint lost it's guts. Luckily, I'm pretty handy with a wrench and had the wheel back on and the deuce was moving...
I had a passenger's rubber brake line blow out and need to get a new one before next Friday. Anyone know offhand if Napa or CarQuest carry these brake lines, or anything similar?
Got my new intake/exhaust manifolds from Alfa Heaven about a month ago for $165; not complaining about the price one bit. I am, howeber, complaining about the install. Good lord...
Inspection of manifold after hearing louder than normal exhaust noise revealed a totally broken off flange on...
Anyone see the most recent Mythbusters? It was the whirlpool/snowplow one. The had a CCKW cnowplow that they were trying to get up to 70 mph in hope that the wind bubble in front of the plow would push a car off the road. Long story short, they had a bunch of problems even getting the heavy...
Not for road-use, of course, but can duals be run on the front axle of the m135/211? I suppose it would help in an off-roading situation, and you'd have to use the Budd lugnuts. The the front axle can take another 2 tires on the front? Any pics of a dualled up M series on all three axles?
Anyone have one of these laying around, just taking up space? I have a massive exhaust leak and thought it was the gasket between the intake and exhaust manifold, right below the carb, but upon further investigation, there's a massive crack in the manifold itself, and instead of JB weld-ing it...
Went to back out of the shop to take the M173 on it's maiden voyage over to the neighbor's house to de-dual the rear axles. Had a tough time backing out of the shop. I saw that both rear driveshafts were turning, but only the left-rear-rear tires were turning. I thought I might have a broken...
Does anyone see a problem with removing the inside dual tires on the rear axles of an M211? From what I can see, the outside duals track wider than the front wheels, which shouldn't pose a problem. I've got a couple flats on the back right now and can't afford new wheels and tires, and want to...
Alright, here's my question. I have my old deuce, '52 M211. Nearly all the tires are shot, so new ones are in the works. I don't wanna have to pay out the nose for a big-tire company put new tires on the old 2-piece wheels, so I was wondering where I might be able to source some 1-piece...
Alright, here's my question. I have my old deuce, '52 M211. I'm posting here because the bolt pattern is the same. Nearly all the tires are shot, so new ones are in the works. I don't wanna have to pay out the nose for a big-tire company put new tires on the old 2-piece wheels, so I was...
Alright, here we go. I KNOW all the questions I have can be answered by a TM, but I'm waiting for one to come in the mail, so here goes.
Got the new belt on, and it's pressurizing the system. I know this because I can hear a hissing and a "noise" coming from under the dash. Also, drained the...
Brought my new baby home on Sunday, and was surprised. I figured that since it was dualled up in the back that it was an xM211, but the data plate reads M135. Anyone wanna offer some insight?
So I installed a new fuel pump (electric) hooked up to a boat tank, pushing between 5 and 9 psi. Ran for a bit, then stalled out. Couldn't figure out what the problem was, so I figured this was a good time to change the oil anyhow. Much to my surprise, after pulling the filter, it reeked of...
We're going to be leaving St. Louis one of the first couple weekends of December to go to Detroit and wondered if anyone needed any light (<14k) hauled up to that area. Holler at me if you do.
