Hey everyone! Tyler here from Washington state. This has been a very great group for information. Picked up a 1969 m49a2c. Been a pretty good rig so far. Had a few repairs to do before it was drivable but so far very happy with this ol rig! I will post some other pictures after work. I removed the tank setup but am keeping it to still have the complete tank set up!

Welcome from Florida! I almost had to take a trip to Washington. Missed the bid by 100 bucks

Welcome to the site, Tyler. Glad you're here. I'd like to see more pictures of your truck, when you can post some.

Hi Tyler! Welcome to the site and a worldwide group of green (and tan) MV lovers. There is a tone of information here - and lots of folks willing to lend brainpower.

Be sure to post more pictures of your new rig! We really like to see work in progress!

Welcome from a Eastern Washington Member in Okanogan

Here are a few more pictures of the old m49. Got it for a great deal once the previous owner found out the flywheel bolts where all broken. 456 miles are on the odometer, 530 hrs on the meter, and i think only 30k gallons across the fuel tank gallon meter. Found a rebuilders tag from 88 on the block. Has .10 on the mains standard on the rods. I work in water filtration and pump repairs so the idea with this truck is to build a modular bed so I can take what I need for the specific job and take it all off when I want to just go cruise it. I will not be cutting any of the original mounting pads so the tank can be slipped right back on and back to its original setup. Yall have already helped me a lot on this project. Glad to now be a part of this community!

Oh yeah and air ride seats.

Hi Tyler! Welcome from Oklahoma!

Those are getting to be rare trucks. Glad you're fixing it up and keeping it where it can be put back mostly original!
Have you got the crank bolts fixed and it back running again?

Oh, and I like your passenger seat!

Oh yeah. Got the bolts fixed. Left hand bits are really coming in handy on the truck!

I dunno Tyler... I thought the lawn chair passenger seat was pretty classy in the pictures above this. Been there and done something similar. My "alternate seating arrangement" was a pair of milk crates though. Verrry nice upgrade to Air Ride!
