Very nicely done! Its a nice clean layout and excellent workmanship. You'll definitely wind up with something to be proud of.

You might find it has stuck valves or stuck rings - they will sometimes break loose, but it sounds like its time for a rebuild. But a rebuild is actually kinda good news - you'll wind up with hardened valve seats so unleaded won't be a problem, plus you'll know you have a solid motor. If you...

If you want to do it right, you need to get the metal positively clean - sandblast or pickel. The metal needs an iron phosphate coating so the powdercoat will bond - if not, one chip and rust will start to lift the powder coat off. It isn't worth trying to jury rig an oven large enough to do an...

The only safe SN to rely on is the one stamped on the frame. Parts can move from truck to truck, but the frame is the final answer

The decks are magnesium, so keep your torch away from it.... Otherwise, spend the cash for a decent mule instead of a project. Anything in the front or rear is consumable - the engine guard gets bent up real often, and the foot basket also gets a beating (I filled in the dents with a welder, and...

The color is wrong - it looks like 383 instead of MIL-STD-TT595 # 24087 (semi-gloss OD). The hood number is incorrect - it might be the right number, but I never saw a decimal point in the number. The good news is that if the paint was well done, it won't take a whole lot to repaint it. Paint...

Fair Radio probably has some

Amen - prices are what you will pay. These days, I don't spend untill and unless there is a good reason. My hobbies are still there, but progress is slow right now.

Crawl under and take a good look before you reach for your wallet - check out the wiring for patches, look for leakage from anything. The driveshaft / trans seals might weep a little if they have the older leather seals, but they slouldn't be leaking. If you can, pull the trans & diff fill plugs...

He's right - you usually get what you paid for. A runner that has everything working correctly and the right parts (no 12 volt conversions, no messed up wiring, no engine mods) should go for about $ 5000. If it has been taken down to the frame, sandblasted, engine rebuilt, new wiring, new glass...

The easiest way to start might be to take it for a drive on the freeway to get it up to full temperature. After doing this a couple of times, then take another look at the injectors. If they're getting better, keep on driving freeway -- if they are just as bad, then its time to try some carb...

Sorry for your loss - I've been there. When I lost my last dog, I never wanted to have another dog --- but when my son dropped a 3# puppy in my lap, about all you can do is scratch his ears. We now have 2 dogs, they are cousins, and we have as much fun as they do when they play - chase each...

Both ends of the wire in a Douglas connector are male. There is a female sleeve that connects them. The outer steel shell either has "pins" or a slot for the pins. As I recall, the pin / slot orientation can be used to polarize a connection if there is an in-out difference. A tail light will...

Chances are that Bryan Asbury in Canada might be able to help - or at least point you in the right direction. He has GMC parts on hand.

I'd seen this article a very long time ago and had forgotten about it - thanks for reminding me how much fun a '135 is to drive - My trans never gave me any problems after I swithced it to 10/30 hydraulic oil instead of straight weight non-detergent motor oil. A friend of mine drove them in...

The last truck I saw with an air starter had a 60 gallon air tank and a 35 CFM air compressor. It was driven daily and very well maintained so there wasn't much trouble with low air pressure - it was parked next to the shop at night, and never shut down when it was on the road. They aren't too...

You might also look at a removable tongue as well as removing the tires. No tires plus no tongue makes it about as theftproof as possible.

I have some of the connectors that plug into the shelter - you would need your own cord and campground plug. Take a picture of the shelter's connector. Just about every shelter configuration seems to have a different power connector--- 2 pin, 4 pin, and 5 pin. They also changed connector...

Collector plates in MN are a mixed bag - you just license them once, but you can't use the vehicle for "transportation" - by definition, you can only go to events, trail rides, and maintenance check rides. You can be stopped if you decide to pick up groceries with an M35. You can be stopped if...

The rear hubs can be flipped very easily - look at the TM for the details, and you'll see it will only take a few hours. You would probably want power steering if you change the tires, but there's lots of room, and standard GMC truck steering parts would probably be the easiest to work with. You...
