That trailer is AWESOME!!! Got my ham radio license a few months back... Would be great to get it, but don't have that kind of money or a place to store it.... Big Bummer :(

RE: Convoy signs, and free reflective material. So, Are we still on for Leaving on the 9th and Returning on the 11th? Stoddard Valley is where it looks like we'll be heading if I read this post right? Any ideas on what time to be leaving on Friday, would love to join the convoy. Thanks guys!

Right on. I appreciate the help. Hopefully its just a timing issue. Another fellow locally thought a valve adjustment might be in order too... Just didn't know if its normal for this OA331 to get such terrible MPG. I may need to take you up on the timing light, but I'll check around locally...

YO YO YO YO YO!!!! Hold the Phone! I just saw this post for this 1st time and was like, holy cow. There's no way I'm gonna miss this, (If I haven't already.) Is the date and location set in stone yet? (Please excuse me, I haven't read the whole post yet - will do tomorrow.) BigMike, You...

What kind of timing light should I look for? Any specific brand/model? I have/had one that would go between as standard plug and normal plug wire. As for the carb parts, I'll have to see if they have a rebuild kit. Engine runs good already, no excessive ping/knocks. A little rough on idle...

Well, Thats what I was kind of wondering, but haven't really seen any specifics on this gasser motor yet. I've done the basics, but will need to check the compression ratio. Haven't got a timing light that will work with these waterproof plug wires. And don't have any parts available for the...

Huh, haven't heard of any complaints about them. They were very nice to me on the phone when I called them about technical questions... Alrighty then.... L8R

Flat terrain - no problem. Any kind of incline and can't keep it in 5th gear as the motor just doesn't seem to have enough balls to keep it moving. The mileage is what I'm really after though. My brothers 1970 AM General has the MF and seems to do very well. Haven't really driven it much...

Ok... Not sure if this is normal or if there is something wrong. My 53 Reo M35 has a Continental OA331 Gasser. I've replaced the plugs and wires with new, flushed all the fluids, cleaned the Oil Bath Air Filter and connected up all the hoses that the previous owner left hanging around. My...

You might want to try and ask the boys over at USA6X6.COM. They might have what your looking for. I know that they rebuild the Rockwell axles and should have the parts. Just not sure if they are willing to sell the shims seperate though. Worth at least the phone call though. Real nice...

How about a rear wiring harness for a 1953 Reo Gasser M35 (G2742)? Looking for a good source for the Rear Harness. Was told a while back that a 5 ton Rear Harness is a couple of feet longer, not a big deal for me, but have no real leads on where to get one. Saturn said that they don't have...

RE: Yellow Tops my vote I got 2 new Interstate 6TL Batteries directly from Interstate Batteries for about $125.00 Each. Heavy suckers I tell you, but they have worked great in my 53' Reo! (Though I had to return one because it was defective - Bad Cell.) That's my .02...

67Beast, What color green is the truck in the last picture? I think that's the same color that my engine compartment is. Still new to the color schemes and names... Thanks,

That is fantastic. The engine compartment is a dark green color, Not sure if its OD Green or Olive Drab. I like the solid color look with the White Paint Markings and that's what I was hoping was original. I'll look out for the TM's you stated above. If anyone else also has any feedback...

Any leads would be awesome. Next will be to try and find parts or kits or anything. I'm getting excited already....

Here's the pics of the truck...

Cool. That sheds a bit light on the subject for me. Do you know if the truck is supposed to have any markings on the outside, such as on the bumper or hood? If so, what should it say? I'm trying to get the markings back to what it should be. My next thing after this is to find out if there...

That would be great! I was curious if this was done or not. Don't really see why it couldn't be converted other than possibly a compression ratio issue.... Thanks again David...

Where would I find the NSN number? All the numbers I posted earlier came from the data plate that states at the top: Weight & Dimension Data - Truck, Cargo 2 1/2 Ton, 6X6, M35W/WN Identification Data. That data plate also says, Model OC-54, Cont. No. DA-20-089 ORD. 8126FS. The...

Is it possible to convert a Continental OA331 Gasser motor to use Propane or LPG? If so, is it possible to make it a dual fuel using both propane/LPG and Gas (1 at a time of course). Thinking about gas mileage, which would be cheaper to operate? Just curious. I was thinking whether or not it...
