I'd try the adjuster on the back of the backing plate. It's a large (5/8 maybe?) and long nut. If that doesn't help then follow the above mention ideas. (It's been 12 years since I owned and played with a M211 so memory is getting a bit foggy)

Gets it running and gets it dirty...cool!!! Nice job. What's on the drivers side front tire that I see in the video... it looks like duct tape or something like that?

PM sent.

Just needs stars and markings... :) Nice job well done.

I have a take out np200 in Cleveland OH I'll take 150. for it.

I understand what your saying....ben there doing that.... :) As for the value of your truck...well that's hard to say. It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. To a historical collector it's not worth much because all the things needed to restor it engine, rims, trans etc are...

Why not keep the truck and start over? Sell the motor and other part and do it over again. To me I don't see any reason to get a whole different truck to redo what you want to do.

Looking good...how about a few more pics to show us your progress?

Ok dumb question of the day...Can one put HMMWV, m998 rims on the stock M880 axles?

You can flat tow a M151 with no problems just follow what papercu said. I made my tow bar. To lengths of box tubing welded into an A. A flat bar across the bottom to from a triangle then well two shackles in the middle the right distance for the shackles on the front bumper. Recomend tack...

Yes the lug pattern on the M211 is the same as the M35. In fact the rims and tires from an M35A2 will fit on a M211 no problem.

When you say original you mean the one that came in the M135 or the one that was on the motor? I would have gone with an Alison out of a school bus or something like that. I am in no way critizing your work and I think it is very well done and I'm very impressed, just picking your brain.... :)

Why did you decide to go stick instead of keeping with an automatic theam of the truck? Just wondering is all.

I hope you get to keep the light bar on it...paint it OD and mark it MP...:)

Looks good I can't tell... :)

I agree with Butch on this one. The GMCs are a blast to drive as far as being able to see, and stopping. Steering isn't that bad either compaired to the M35. Just a few things on the GMC that drove me crazy. 1. Lack of speed. 45 is probably the crusing speed...and yes hills will drag you...

I would agree with everything you said there except this.... "they are faster than M35" Huh? I have had both trucks My M211 would do maybe 50 max and that was down hill with a tail wind. My M35A2 would do 60-65 no problem and still have some peddle left to get up the hills. Unless you were...

I have thought of this type of project myself ever since I had a M211. The truck rides better than the M35 and I think stops a heck of a lot better too. I have oftern thought that if I ever got another one I would swap out the motor and trans with one out of a more modern GMC Truck. Something...

Try a bigger hammer like a 20 lbs sledge. I'm not kidding...there are tapered cones that wedge the thing on and the sledge will "bounce" the axle flange loose.

The M135 in the link is one very nice truck...almost to pretty... :) I miss my old M211....I think they were in some ways a better truck than the M35s, but that's just MHO.
