The only 251 parts I have is a used civilian oil pump and distributor. The green is just 24087 the local auto paint guy mixed up. The only parts that I know I need so far for the ambulance is the rear heater, and one of the supports for the rear step when its folded down. I'll keep Grayling in...
The local tire place did the tires. I need to go to a truck "tire place" and have them done right. I was in a hurry last year to get it done. I've been too busy this summer with house chores, work, and a duece dump to do it right.. The m43 isn't a Canadian model and is another project waiting to...
Have you tried Brian Asbury(519-853-1738) in Canada? He had a lot of parts for the 251. I found alot of my m37 cdn parts through him.

While my dump doesnt look as good as Jeff's,but I'm slowly putting it right. I finished the doors with new metal in the rusted out spots. Trying to bent the 16ga metal with a cheap bender was not easy. Somebody needs to make patch panels for this area. I'm sure they could sell them as almost...
The wrecker went for $9250. It looked good and the owner said it had 30 hrs since a depot rebuild. It had 900 some hours on the meter. The m37 went for 3900. It had one of the best rear beds I've seen. The floor was almost like new. The forklift was stolen for 4700. I didn't get any pictures of...
Devilman if you decide to make up patches make some that will go under the bent over door skin. Becase my bender was primitive I had to make the patch for the passenger door in two peices. I cut off the bent over lip slipped the piece under then welded on a thin strip to duplicate the bent-over...
Your right about the flex in the cheap bender. This was the longest bend I could do and I still had to hammer to get the bends right.It might be ok with thinner metal, but 16ga is the thickest I'd want to do. Once I had the old metal cut out I sandblasted the area outside and inside. After the...
I took the doors off my duece dump to repair some rust and will need to repaint them. My question is what are the 5 diget color numbers for the paint. The interior was originally 24087 then painted a lighter shade. The outside had at least six coats of paint. Starting with two of 24087 then...
Does anybody know where I can get the door hinge pins, (their bolts really) when using the west coast style mirrors. I tried a couple of vendors but no luck.

I called them last week because they didn't send all of the exhaust parts that I ordered. Girl said she would tell their shipping dept to send parts out. This was the first that I ordered from them. It took almost a month for parts to arrive.
Some of you may remember that I won a m342a2 in a auction recently. It was missing the starter, exhaust system and the radiator. Well I got the exhaust back on and found a starter that I had to rebuild. As I was installing the starter I discovered that the fuel line from the primary filter was...
I dont have any holes near here. Must have been a change somewhere thru the years. You can just see the top of the brace in #5 and the bottom bolt in #3. Mines a 73 AM General. I knew I would find the answer here. Anybody need a brace?
I'm trying to put my exhaust back together in the M342a2 that I just bought at auction.
The exhaust was missing from the flex pipe back. I'm just working from the pictures in the tm 9-2320-209-20p. I've assembled everything I needed working from fig 47. But for the life of me I can't see how...
