I think they call it Hy-tran. That is what I am using in mine right now. Sure hope it works. Here is the link for you. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?17023-Hydramatic-Heaven

Neat project!

It sounded a lot like a big sewing machine when we finished up the adjustments. The carburetor is my next thing to look at. It was rebuilt a few months ago, but I think the float is not set right. It tries to load up when it has been idling for a little bit and floods easy if I pump the pedal...

I learned how to adjust the intake and exhaust valves yesterday. All of my exhaust valves were a few thousandths of an inch too tight as was one or two of the intake valves. That old 302 really started purring after everything was set according to the TM and Bob Kettler's "GMC Tech Tips".

Oh man! Glad you are OK. Thanks for posting this up. Good learning material.

Can't wait to see your truck painted!!

As most of you know, I purchased a military hardtop for my M135 the other day. It is in really nice shape, but the insulation will need to be replaced due to age. The insulation in it is dry and brittle. It is black and appears to be made of the same foam material that the military sleeping...

I bet you can. What color are you going to paint it? Here is a link to the thread where I was trying to figure out the color to paint mine. I am not ready to paint yet, but I do have the color ready. It was matched off of a 1952 dated military gas can. The last post has the paint code and the...

That was the gist of the rumor I heard. Really wish there were some pictures to prove it.

I do not know for sure but I have heard people say that the Marines "acquired" some and used them in Korea. Other than that, I don't know that they used them. Most people say they were used extensively by the Army during the Korean War and then passed on to Guard and Reserve units who used...

I need to learn how to post to YouTube from you then because I can't figure that one out! Very interested in the vent and heating stuff!!

I have run across the aftermarket hardtops, but they just did not look right to me. I prefer the original military ones too. We don't get near the snow you do, but it rains here all the time. I'd like to figure out how to re-dye the cab canvas set I have and then waterproof it with Canvak. It...

My years long search for a hardtop is finally over. Just picked it up today and it is in really good shape considering it's age and will clean up very nice. I'm really happy with it. :D

Now you can just cut and paste the YouTube link here and it will show up. Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_yEVAziBlw I think you should start your very own thread with all this so we can keep track of your progress easier. A bunch of us are really interested in what you are doing...

I really don't know. I have never seen a hardtop in person but really like the look of them and have not been able to find one anywhere close to me in years of looking. The canvas just deteriorates too fast if you don't have a building to put them under. My search for the elusive hardtop may be...

I'd say you did well on the new transmission too. Hold onto the old parts transmission, just in case. I have one good transmission, one that does not want to work in high range and only works in 1st and reverse in low, then there are two unknown condition transmissions in my parts trucks that...

I agree with you that duals look better on that truck. The data plate looks great! What other work did you get done on it?

Welcome. Not too far from you sounds like. Let me know if you need anything.

Another hard top!! Man those are hard to find down in my area.

Post up a video of it running when you are ready to drive if you can.
