Oooooh! Nice truck. My M211 had the same hole cut in the side of the bed as well. Ex- fire department truck too. Keep us updated, but don't wait so long next time.

Nice work Jim! What is the next project?

Don't throw them away or use them for grease rags. They will fit you again within 10 years. Put them in a box, high up on a shelf so the dog can't get at them.

Why are you even asking? By the way, I've been struggling to NOT buy one here that was underwater for $1,500 But seriously, we are going to say bad things about you if can really buy it for $100 and you don't. :razz: I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but somebody needs to post some...

Sounds like you have enough parts to keep them both going. Usually the only thing I worry about on trucks without well known history are the automatic transmissions and the possibility of the engine freezing and cracking.

Trk 2 Can you get at the flywheel and use a big prybar to get something moving? Even if the rings are rusted to the cylinders you should get a couple degrees of movement.

Thanks, Whew! Trk 1 before you tear it down, pull all the plugs out and check the compression. it will spin faster and you may be suprised. Check the valve lash, maybe you got some "hold open." Then put air to the cylinders (@TDC) and listen to where it goes. carb, exhaust would be a valve...

I'm so confused. This has the original 6 cyl 302 not the V8 350 right?

what did you finally do for fuel supply?

Jim, I'm running out of options. I will PM you my address. ANY help would be appreciated. Pictures and measurements would be REALLY appreciated! I found some double fording cables on ebay.

This does not have one of those 4" lift kits without the correction kit for the drag link does it? they have been known to dive to the right due to what is also called "bumpsteer." You step on the brake then the front end dips down pushing the draglink backwards resulting in the tires turning...

That Jim is one smart rabbit! I stand corrected

I never considered it either. It does make sense now. It would have had HEI ignition in 1974 (first year) and a tall aircleaner and a PCV valve in rounded valve covers. What threw me was the lack of emission components I expect to see in a 1974. Emissions were more relaxed on the trucks. Just...

1974 350ci 160hp 2 barrel from a school bus or C-60 truck I'm waiting for "Lil' Carnac" to come thru... :popcorn: Sorry I stole your fire Jim.

Just remember the disclaimer: Henderson said just don't start your truck on fire! :popcorn:

Wow! It would be great if everyone in our country had your strength and positive attitude. Thank you for your sacrifice on the fireline. Sounds like you make your own path forward in life. I respect that.

It was pressure washed. I intend to remove the front clip and all tires (for brake work) Then I will spray it black. I'm planning on having 2 exhaust systems bent up this week.

Thanks Jim! I really appreciate it.

Sorry for your loss.

Welcome from Wisconsin! I see from your other posts you are new and just purchased a M135. We look forward to seeing you post pictures of your new truck. We appreciate reading all the details of how you aquired it and any history you are willing to share about your military vehicle. But first...
