It reads as if your rebuilder didn’t do something. The vacuum moves the transmission through the gears during normal driving. Put the truck into low range without locking the front hubs in and drive it. The engine should wind out and slam into second and then do the same with third. That shift...
Fuel filter and taking the carburetor apart enough to make sure the float needle and seat are clean probably should be done.
What about the ignition points? If it has been a good number of years since you even looked at the points they could be carboned up and causing the issue. However...
Are the brakes working perfectly with the current master cylinder? Except for the leak of course.
I ask because it is probable air has gotten in via the leaking piston seal and a good bleed of the entire system might be a good thing.

There is a wire connecting the metal sides of the rag joint down at the steering box. Checking that and the wire running through the column would be next...
The M35 trucks didn’t have blinkers when first introduced. A kit was developed to turn older units into blinkers trucks As time went by. I can see that kit working on the M135 trucks.
The existing brake light bulbs and wiring work for the rear. Does the M135 have 3 wires going to the front...
