Route clearance light kits have more light than you can shake a stick at. Floods, spots and trapezoids are in the kit. Function over form though, they are not very attractive.

The M51A2 uses the PTO accessory drive for the bed so a front facing PTO is present.

1156 bulbs are 12V and will not fit. Common bulbs are 1829 for dash lights, 1683 for brake lights and 623 for running and parking lights. You will have to cross reference for LEDs

LDS427 pumps never had an FDC. I was completely unaware of any engines where the FDC was deleted.

Even a local heavy wrecker shouldn't be charging that much. I paid $1100 to move a truck like yours and a deuce from Columbus to Blairsville, that was 200 miles.

Doors are fairly easy to find. I have a 1967 M51A2 and it does have a little whistle to it.

What the hay! This is no show truck. It's a purpose built truck for my needs along the lines of an M1031. At least there will be more to choose from.

Your choice, I've heard it every which way. Even cut-vee. Pick one you like or just call it the blazer.

Saved another GMC, an M135 no less. Great job, congrats.

I've done it a few ways. I've gone as far as riveting in galvaneal. If I'm patching I weld a nut in the back. For those that break you can try to knock them back in and use a gripsert. I think they make them in 3/8.

There are square nuts back there captured in a little cage. Odds are strong that the cages will break. In that case, I've created access by cutting open that channel. It sucks but thats the only way. As far as rust, just all flat sheet metal, just do your best to cut out and weld in new. I...

I really like group 31 truck batteries. I have 2 in my CUCV, 2 in my dump truck and my son has 2 in his tanker truck.

So, I'm going to do this for Jonathan's M49A2C. As long as I can get the connector back in the cab, I plan on mounting this up under the dash out of harm and road grimes way.

Did you drill those holes in the trailer by hand? Inquiring minds want to know.

Good suggestions on the chain and E85. My main tank on my M51A2 is full of crud but I have a new tank for it. The aux tank has unknown crud in it per the person that sold it to me. Sounds like a candidate for the chain and E85 There is one baffled end I don't think I can access unless I cut...

Considering the work to get to them and the relative low cost, it would be a cost/labor benefit analysis. Shoes often fail from age. Either chunks of lining fall or or linings completely come off. Attached is what happens when hold down hardware fails and no one does PMCS. I would put brake...

It's a cool old truck. Unlike the M62, it has a third manual extension of the boom which can be very handy.

Parts TM. -20P and -34P will have plenty of GM numbers to cross-reference or search online for.

Well, if you're going to be in there, might as well replace brake shoes linings and hold down and return hardware. I would be sure to save some of the removed hardware for emergency trail repairs. My used bearings get cleaned, inspected, repacked and sealed in ziplocks or mylar.
