If you want to get some made ASAP. Door glass is exactly 26 7/16 x 17 1/2 x 1/4" Windshield glass is exactly 32 3/4 x 14 15/16 x 1/4" I still want to post a how to on air compressor rebuilding and windshield wiper motor teardown/cleaning.

You've got the enthusiasm to get it done and it sounds like you know what your after. Go with whatever makes the pickle tickle. We are looking forward to seeing it. :beer:

The primer has cured on the frames, and the glass is ready for re installation. This is not hard to to, just tricky. This is where the old rubber glass seals come into play, cut 4 pieces for each window. Glue the seals in place with a little of your calking, I use Latex DAP Dynaflex 230. Press...

There's a total of 4 little screws with 4 little threaded bushings that hold the bottom of the door glass frame together. Do not loose them! The bottom will slide off like so... See how rusty water collects on the bottom of the frames? Save as much of the rubber sealing material as you can...

Each paragraph below corresponds with each picture. First you'll want to take down your windshield. Start by removing both flathead screws from the window locking arms. There are 7 bolts that secure the windshield pivot to the windshield cab frame. Remove all but the center most bolt. With...

Section8, you may wish to contact HMBurner here who did a 3-53 Detroit/5speed conversion on an M135. He could find no place to mount the compressor and installed a Hydroboost. He's been quite happy with the conversion as far as I know. I like your idea, Slotman. If doing a bob job, it would...

The hard part with a Hydroboost conversion is finding a Hydro master with a large enough bore and long enough stroke to displace the proper amount of fluid to all the wheel cylinders. Most all of them have the typical 1" to 1 1/4" bores for use in Chebby 1 ton applications. These were simply...

You make me want to buy an M37 maintenance truck that is for sale at a local surplus yard here. Your attention to detail is blatantly obvious, mission accomplished and a job well done on preserving a future museum piece.

Wow, the truck feels like a truck again. I think once the brakes are finished it will be 95% finished which is pretty surreal to think about. I've taken the past couple weeks to reinstall all of my wiring and my dash components, along with other odds and ends that have been sitting on the parts...

A 700r4 made after 1988 will work stock just fine without any mods. In a bobber it would work even better, since the weight of most bobs is in the 10,000lb range. And with 6.17 axles, you'd be more than golden. Not only will you want to keep the transfer for the reverse front output, but you...

He is on right now for the 1st time today in about a week. I want your guys help in catching this guy. Here's just a few of the things Ive' been able to write down. "mother nature aint given me no conditions up here on the west side of the grand canyon". "Make that scope scream, turn that...

Anyone else pickup HAM radio operators on their computer speakers? There's this one guy who I think is in the Grand Canyon area who is annoying as ever. The voice is as clear a day, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what this guy is talking about when he speaks. I thought truckers slang...

I ruined the movie for everyone when I pointed out the A3 being a 90's vehicle. :lol: Same way with guns and movies. We all probably do the same thing during family movie time.

The original GMC transfer is always retained for a few reasons. As you said, the front output spins in reverse which is pretty unique for any transfer case, not to mention the rear has two outputs where most only have 1. Not saying it wouldn't work, just would have a lot of disadvantages. The...

Here's the poop on the 6bt. It will fit, but you will need to cut out part of the firewall and make a doggy house in the cab. No big deal. Even with an NV4500 (you'll want an OD for sure) you just won't have room for a reduction box. Not a problem with the stock axle ratio's, however if you drop...

That would be mighty fine Seatyger! I think it would be a better choice than going through all the work of rebuilding these. Rebuilding them would be easier, too. I will gladly pay postage for them!

Now if I had the Canadian wheel cylinders which are indeed 1 3/8" I know the M35 kits would work. Saturn Surplus has them for $6.50 per wheel. Just a little info for you Canadian M135 guys who want to stock up on rebuild kits. There are several companies that still manufacture new wheel...

The M35's are 1 3/8 if I remember correctly?

I want to say thanks to Topo for the parts, they arrived this morning. Sort of like an early Christmas, topo included 2 new wheel cylinders, 4 old take off's, 2 NOS pinion seals, 1 NOS horn button kit, 2 take off brake shoes, bag of shoe springs and what look like some spare circuit breakers for...

If you think shipping would be cheaper that way, I can have them shipped to your house. I'll let you know chief!
