The wire numbers are basically the same on the rear the only thing is you don't have all the wires on each side. 22 is the brake light so for the left drivers side so you would use 22-461 and the tail light is 21 (I think...no manual in front of me). On the right side (you said early M151 so...

It takes some time, but once you go through the brake system and rework everything you will stop and stop good! You may find that your air pack just needs cleaning like mine did. It was my wheel cylinders, master cylinder and the wheel adjusters that needed attention on my truck. Fixed all...

That was a commo shelter bed. IF you turn in back into a regular bed keep the front and rear brackets as someone who wants to make a commo shelter truck will need them!

Found On Road Dead = FORD.... :lol: backwards DROF is Driver Returns On Foot... Remember if you can't Dodge em Ram em! Ok, sorry, I'm just having a littel fun....the title of the post made me laugh. The truck is very cool and rare and should be restored and or preserved. Unfortunatly...

Once you get the 211 working you'll notice the difference between the two. I've owned both trucks over the years even had both at the same time for a few months and there is a difference in the way they roll and ride.

That's not a F.O.R.D....it's a DODGE.... :lol: A little TLC and she could be on the road again.

I only see one problem with your build....it looks like somewhere the truck is running windows... Now you know your going to have a problem.. You go to push the brakes and a thing will pop up "Are you sure you want to push the brakes? Yes No..... :lol: rofl :driver: [thumbzup] Looks...

If buying used make sure is hydraulic because the older trucks had electric ones which were 24V. You can buy it new from the manufacture but your going to pay military prices... so be ready to sell your first born to buy it... :) Just keep your eyes open in classified adds as well as ebay for one.

My thought was how dumb! Even more so when he ran into the bank and couldn't go any where!

Does the truck run ok? Any issues with the motor? If no to both then I wouldn't worry about it. Just something that's hitched a ride....Maybe the former owner broke his watchband while working on it.... :lol:

I'm glad to see my tax dollars being used for such interesting projects.... :lol: That's funny..... :)

Looks like RTV silicone to me. It was glued on because PVT Snuffy broke it taking it off the first time.

I think a lot of people get performance and upgrade intermixed. In my mind performance means more HP and more speed. Where as Upgrade means design better which will give you an overall better performance of the engine. It has been proven that the 6.2 with a turbo will run just fine...the...

The bridge plate is the weight of the truck, but the purpose for the bridge plate is really simple. If the engineers build a temporary bidge across a body of water they have a weight limit for that bidge. To heavy of a truck and the truck can not go over the bridge. So the driver of the truck...

Is the relay gounded properly. If it doesn't have a good gound side to complete the 12V circut that could be a problem. Also if the relay is bad it could be shortin out internally. Try taking the 12V off the tops and test if the circut is closing properly. A VOM set to short on either...

Use the picture as a guide....get some PVC pipe and some paint? Your just looking for show make up some dummies. If your handy get some steel pipe and weld them up. I'm not trying to be funny...the fact is that unless there is someone making dummy ones up I don't think your going to find...

OOOOH! this one is even better.... :) Dodge Military Power Wagon Assembly Line Photo – Off Road Action | Off Road Action

I think the natural wood looks sharp, but it's not original if you want to do the truck mill spec. The wood should be painted to same color as the body and since the troop seats are more or less part of the bed I would think they were painted at the same time when it rolled off the assembly...

I agree with everyone else...paint it with a high temp paint. What color is the NOS one you just got? Paint it to that color (I'm guessing steel grey).

Here is something I found with a quick web search. "As for original paint colors, the Ford and Mercury engines through 1940 were a dark green. Ford cars continued the color until 1942. Mercury engine had a dark blue color from 1941 thru 1948. Postwar Ford engines were dark blue thru 1948. Ford...
