    I am looking into split brake system now. There are a lot of threads about this, mostly for the cousin truck m35. I want to run this idea by some others to see if I am on base. Since G-749 is a gas engine I can run a car style vacuum brake booster, which lead me to the f-550 brake booster and...

    I ordered 'A team straight 6 HEI distributor' it kinda fits. The shaft on the distributor is probably an inch shorter than it really should be. I had to be a little creative. First thing there is an coolant line running along the side of the engine block that was in the way, to fix this I...

    Registering an M1078 in Washington State

    To continue. I went down to Bothell dept. of revenue and spoke with ladies there. I was pleasant and they had fun looking at picture of deuces. They did a Google search and NADA search, they ended up agreeing with my price and I paid taxes right then. No appraisal fees or any other headaches...

    Registering an M1078 in Washington State

    I just got myself a 1952 m211. It was previously(currently) registered as a collector vehicle. Well I went to licensing office and they almost let me transfer the title, but they needed the fair market value so they could charge me with sales tax. The bill of sale wouldn't cut it, and she could...
