I just painted my top it started of as a tan top. It ends up matching the truck better. And that's how some of them were done when these truck were in the service. Well I know for sure the newer ones cause that's what we did so I'm sure not much changed Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I'm hoping for good clean start up when it's time. I'm gonna try and record it so I have record of it. But for today's progress I have the alternator installed. Had to modify the stock bracket for the leece neville 12/24 alternator that came off a 915 but I got it to fit and able to use the...

Just having her turn over yesterday got me all excited and then the good news on my radiator makes things even better. I was thinking I was gonna have to have it rebuilt or worse find a new one. But luckily that wasnt the case. So this next week I'll be getting the coolant system all done up and...

I'm shooting for by the end of next week. Just depends on when I order the parts and when they come in. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Got some more good news today. The shop I took my radiator to get checked out yesterday called me this morning. I was a bit worried but he said it could be saved only 4 leaks and only $40 to have it repaired. Now just have to get new hoses. Getting closer to having her running. Sent from my...

After 6 plus years of the engine not being ran I turned her over. 1st time seemed a bit rough but then couple of other bumps I did seemed to be just fine. I didnt attempt to completely start her up and have it run since the fuel shut off lever seemed to be sticking and then I didnt have power to...

I'm probably gonna just try turn the engine over with the fuel shut off just make sure it turns over. Then worry about it running after I change fluids and put a radiator in and all that. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I did pull about a gallon of fuel out and it seemed ok. I'm gonna changed all fluids once I know the engine is good since it's been sitting so long. This start up is mainly to see what condition the engine is in. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

So is there a way to use the start switch and the magnetic relay with out the rest of the harness. Would give a me chance to test that out too. Big screwdriver method doesn't seem be the best idea especially since I dont know the condition of any of the components Sent from my SM-N950U using...

I am planning on trying to started up my M36a2 this coming week since I was able to get it home last week. The engine hasn't been started in about 6 years or so. The oil seems to be good from what I can tell. No water in the oil from the spots I checked. The fuel is old but the tank doesn't have...

I won't lie if it ran and stopped I may have tried that. Haha. But I was standing on the box steering to get into place. So close enough. This truck doesn't have a stack she has side exhaust by the rear wheels. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

A few weeks off and last night she finally made to my place so I can get more work done. Had a friend tow it to my place. Eventful movement but it's now at my place. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I'll have to check the ones near by to see who does. I may to check closer to San Diego itself though. But if it is repairable that sounds a lot better then a new one. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Since painting weather is currently out I've moved on to the motor. And it seems like my radiator has seen better days. It leaks pretty bad from the back and bottom and the front is pretty bad. Is it worth trying to get repaired or should I go try and a replaced stock or aftermarket Sent from...

Does anyone have a diagram or picture of how the air lines on the inside firewall. Neither of the cabs I had had the airlines on them. So I have a bunch of lines and parts. I looked at the TM and that wasnt too helpful. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Cool thanks. I'll go check that out. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

This weeks progress makes the it looks truck is in the house now. The cab and the soft top is all painted, and I got the windshield glass and weather stripping in. The inside cab is slowly coming together. I just need to find the bench seat covers and cushions and the box seat cushions. Sent...

I'm looking to find sources for the seals that go around around the glass on the inside of the frames for both the windshield and windows on the doors. When I took my glass out to clean the frames and repaint them the seals didn't survive. I found one place (oshkosh equipment supply) that has...

This week the cab has been painted green and mocked up on its stand to prep for the painting the rest of the pattern. Once paint is done I'm gonna put in the weather stripping, the windows and windshields (just need to get the frame to window seals for all them), and on with the soft top. Then...

I'm doing this same thing with my M36 This TM will help ya out TM 9-2320-209-34-2-2 There's a lot it to. Everything attached to firewall has to come off. Fenders and hood have to come off. Then ya have to deal with the steering column. Most of my fasteners were rusted pretty bad. So I would soak...
