I have two boosters laying here, one from a 68 Deuce and one from a late 50s M62, are the GMC ones unique ?

Getting really tired of "fixing" this janky air drain every time I drive this thing, it seems when the CTIS (which doesn't work of course) goes thru it's test cycle big air fart deal it will make this drain leak, sometimes I take it off and put the little tittie back into the hole so it seals...

Please tell me you are not going to scrap that ?? Here is a cool short thread about these that you have probably already seen: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?9212-Info-Pics-needed-of-M8-M8A1-M8E2-tractor

Let's hear more about your powertrain swap, and see some pics of what you have going on under there, inquiring minds want to know ...

Wondering if that already happened, in the first pic the truck is posed up loud n proud on a golf course-esq lawn in front of a very nice upscale home, then in all the other pics the truck is at a shed out in the sticks ... :eek:

Not sure what that is, but it's cool and I want one .

Continued with my repaint , drained the Dot 3 from master and booster, filled with purple Dot 5, got that out to three wheel cylinders so far

I'm going with needs adjustment

Maybe just get some bombs and start your own tree stump removal business ?

That's a weird lookin clutch pedal, maybe they converted it to hydraulic when they did the alleged swap ? What powertrain should this truck have came with originally ? Looks like the exact trans T-case combo I need to bring my old 52 GMC XM-211 to normalcy . Love how the desert keeps things...

My M1102, got it from a buddy, love this thing, if I had a half dozen of them I'd still want six more . This one was apparently dropped from a helicopter, it's barely tweaked a tiny little bit, bothers me not at all . If I ever find another one cheap again it will follow me home . Some boring...

How does the engine relieve itself of crankcase pressure normally, does it have a draft tube or a PCV system ? Make sure that is working properly first . Mud wasps build nests in draft tubes, pcv valves get stuck etc.

Got in about 45 min of painting last night in the wind and cold, but the raindrops held off, hit it again for a bit this sunny warm AM, love getting that hideous lime yellow covered up, fully digging this old original color of Korea/Vietnam era paint, it will look pretty good when I'm done for...

Ya I don't see where the secondary brake system has to be completely separate in acuation from the standard brakes, it just has to be there, so if you pull the brake handle up and the main brakes don't work, you still have the E-brake which is manually activated and will still function . It is...

I scored these 7 14.00x20 Goodyears on rims with CTIS for my M931A2, now I will have all matching and hopefully non leaking tires . Went up the big 5 road and grabbed these yesterday, trailer wheel bearing **** the bed on the way home, had fun changing that in a parking lot conveniently located...

The truck already has air powered wedge brakes at six wheels, so the E-Brake at the T-case should be considered an auxiliary brake . I have 2 6x6 tenders and they have never questioned this on mine, one is a Deuce and the other a M931A2, assuming yours is the same ...

Just junk I've accumulated over the years for the water trucks, I have more stuff lying around than any normal person would need/want, and I'm not even done yet ... Huh, that's an interesting set up you have there . The front steer axle drums are held on with the lugs, the rear drivers are...

Didn't realize these were so hard to find, I can make them for you if need be, but it might be best to find an old set someone has lying around as steel prices are pretty stupid right meow .

M50 Water Tender Finally got around to fixing the brakes on the 63 Studebaker . This brake is the reason I own this truck, it failed on previous owner and rolled backwards off the road, down an embankment and crashed into some trees, he didn't want to repair the truck so I bought it . The...

They're like potato chips . Got pics ??
