Tires Are you going to come into Illinois on your trip or is Evansville as close as you are getting.

Engine What are you going to do with the old engine? If you would be interested I might buy some of the old parts off of it to help fund your project. I have two of the gas engines and I am always stocking up on parts just in case. Thanks Joe.

Plugs Makes sense. This is a M49 tank truck that the 17's came out of. It was used as a Fire truck by the National Forest Service. One of these days it is going to get a full restore. I was going to trade it for some jeeps but the guy never got back to me after he made the deal. After the...

Plugs The Plug that came out of the M49 was a champion XMJ-17/ms36902-2

Plugs Both of my gas trucks have Autolite ARL8S plugs. I got one set from Joseph Naglich at www.militaryconvoy.com. Thats what came out of my M45 so thats what I put back In. Thats what I put in my M49 as well. I could not get down to the shop today (family things,christmas, you know) but I...

Kcgonzo I have bought several items from this guy. They all came to me as he had them listed on the auction page. There was very little if any contact from him and his shipping method is slooooow. I just ordered or won a front axle boot and it took a couple of weeks to get it. But on the other...

I am starting to amass my own motorpool of military vehicles. A buddy of mine wants to trade 5 m38 jeeps for my m49 tanker so he can haul water. 3 of these jeeps run and are complete but one is a civilian model and two are for parts. I also got a hold of a 5kw generator with 26 hours on the...

These iste? meters I see are supposedly to check engine problems, electrical problems, engine cylinder balance etc. They are green, and have a bunch of different connectors and addapters. I dont know much about them but from the descriptions on ebay they are some kind of magical do all tester...

Where do you go to buy your specialty tools like your meters and timing lights. I see these digital meters on ebay every once in a while called itse (I think?) meters and there is one called a tv100 low voltage circut tester in the front of the manual. Where can you buy these and are they worth...

Ok, run about 15 gallons through the fuel lines into another fuel tank, cleaned it all up, blew air through the vent line for about 5 minutes, changed the fuel filter, and replaced the coil. Good news no vacuum in the tank. Truck ran great, drove it for over an hour, worked it hard, not a single...

How do you check voltage on the hot side of the coil when started? You have to remove the dist. cap to get to the coil. Also the resistor is inside the dist. It also has two condensors inside the dist. I ordered a new coil which should be here on Friday just in case. I am going to go through...

Gauges It is missing a couple of the nuts or what ever the four panel screws connect to and I haven't taken the time to investigate it. The screws are just laying in there loose.

I am not sure, I dont have my gauges working properly yet. If you push on the corners of the cluster panel you get oil pressure and if you push on another corner you might get the temp. It is the next step on my list of things to do. but I think its up around 30 pounds at about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle
