So, as an update for you fellas. I found, and subsequently purchased a 302 out of an M211. However, after reading the write up for them Im concerned about a couple things. Is the flywheel for the 270 going to fit on the 302 or will I have to source a new flywheel? Second, is something about the...

No, this one is from.a different fella. I'm still gonna probably buy some stuff from John's buddy Ryan.

Found my transmission! 150 bucks 20 minutes from home.

I forgot to look at the interior of the cab today, though I did take the chance to write down my vin to get a bill of sale made for me by the guy i bought it from. If I remember tomorrow Ill take a look in the cab for that data plate I seem to remember being there. lol

Anyone in need of an arctic cake hard top and doors? I'm heading to a place tomorrow to look at a transmission and some other associated parts 20 minutes from home. Also took the chance to pull the plugs and dump some marvel down the cylinders, see if I can even give the old 270 a fighting...

How much would you be wanting for that?

Man, another update so fast. Haha I called up winer about that transmission, he said he doesn't have a complete one anymore sadly. Just parts and pieces. I'll have to see about pulling my transmission and seeing if something, if anything, is salvagable.

Thanks for all the input fellas! I did get ahold of John, emailed me right away this morning with a negative on a trans. He did however give me the number of a friend of his who might have/know where one is more local. I'll see if he comes up with something by the end of the day otherwise if he...

What are the odds, haha. I just happened to drive right through your town after picking up my CCKW. Ill take a look at that tomorrow and see if I can find any other identifying marks for it... I did hear about a data plate on the floor by the starter pedal but im not sure if it is actually there...

The fenders really arnt to bad. I have a set of dolly blocks, a few decent hammers and a welder, I should be able to make them presentable. As far as the transmission goes im going to see if I hear back from the fellow and Prior lake, John, and see if he has anything.

I wonder what that would cost shipped... might have to make a call. Id like to get this thing running and driving sooner, rather then later. After all, its much easier to move around a running, driving truck and move it to work on it then it is a completely dead one lol

Found the website and sent an Email. Lets see if he has a transmission for me. haha Thank you for the suggestion!

To be honest Im really not sure what i want to do for a bed. I had an idea do built a bed with a likeness to the factory cargo body but then having the sides limits the use for it. Maybe ill do a regular flatbed or something for it, maybe Ill find a hoist and make it a dump truck. What are your...

Thank you! I look forward to seeing what I can actually get done. Haha

Well, I stimulated the economy today... I managed to buy up a rather "cherry" CCKW today from a fella in Wisconsin. Its in rather decent shape really with a few lingering issues im going to have to sort out. The Warner T93 transmission has a rather extensive crack in the bottom of the case and...

I'm guessing I'm going to need to do a steering box conversion. If it comes down to that I'd probably cut the tube and shaft down, shove a bearing in the tube around run a u-jointed shaft to maybe the stock column. The only measurement I have at this point is the frame width which comes in at...

So, first time I've been on this forum in ages. Been even longer since I posted anything. But recently I've been looking into the ol' m211/135 trucks as a chassis option for a cab swap. I've got a federal 25m truck that I've had trouble finding running gear parts for ever since I acquired it...

I got the Civvy model from 48, a 25M. Parts are **** near impossible to find but you can usually figure out how to replace the part with something off a truck of similar vintage.

One of these would be a great stablemate fore my 25M I just got. Maybe Ill find one someday.
