I had thought of something similar..... HiYa Plowboy, Its funny you bring up helicopters many years ago I had to work on a Sunday in case there was any damage to the building I was working at.... I checked the cost and it was a little over budget....LOL! The red circle was were I was...

While we are talking about weight..... HiYa Dave, PM'd back Thanks! I have a feeling they are heavier than the G177/Deuce wheel combo...regrettably I didn't weigh either of the 2 Goodyear OZ tires and M135 rims,,,. So While we are talking about weight, the last calculation I had was...

More progress 1.7.18 I realized yesterday that I am almost at the 6 month mark of having the M135 in my possession (July 25 it arrived). So filling the cylinders with the PB Blaster mix for almost 6 months just barely got it unstuck. I also feel that the last 2 weeks have been the most...

Glad you have a cylinder head on the way! Your truck is in 1,000 times better shape than its red headed step brother that I own! I own what is left of its Chevy cousin a G-7123 and I was going to shoehorn a Cummins 6BT into it. This is before I realized that the frame was UNSALVAGABLE from in...

Well I took a serious look at the bores and came to the conclusion I would have to bore 2 cylinders at the least .010 at the most .020 more, so out came the steel shaft and the 7 pound sledge. I removed one more of the lifters and was able to raise the last one just enough to clear the...

HYa Siection 8, You can get them cheaper than that aftermarket/splicer ALOT cheaper! Just do your homework and make sure you have the right companion flanges (there is male and female registration lugs) I was lucky/unlucky in getting a NOS M35A3 jack shaft and stopped looking at...

HiYa Rusty, 1944MB had already called first dibs on the tranny, I will put you in as second in line. I am hoping to use the 302 (with a standard transmission) in the G7123 once I have a frame/chassis (I would even consider using a WWII International frame if it wasn't so far away...Just...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but....... Not OK...I will try to explain it in non-technical terms..(mainly because I don't know them, but know why you need a slip joint <the Army felt it was so needed they even made a real short one just for the M35A3>) You need that slip so that you...

Repurposed Leveling Jack Stands and Cummins SAE 2 flywheel numbers A little addendum to yesterdays post... I am still in search of a weight of a 11r20 NTD tire mounted on a M135 rim...just for my weight obsession, but a G177 mounted on a M35 rim weighs 259.5 pounds Also built my re...

We will wait for it! Merry Christmas!

I would love to have the fire extinguisher, steering wheel and tools...but it would be better for someone with a more complete truck than mine that is in so SAD a shape. Thank You for your kind offer, I hope who gets these parts puts them on a realyl good restoration. Merry Christmas!

Hi Rusty, My transmission is spoken for, but if you scroll back through this tread the one that I talked about is probably still available and you might be able to get it if he would ship it. PM me if you are interested and I will send you his contact info.

LOL that's why the wife keeps me alive...she doesn't know how she would sell the house with all my TREASURE! When I found out exactly how bad my HADD makes me look when I am trying to say something! Was a couple of miles from me and the winds blew it north...if it blew south I would have...

ANNNDDDD he sold me the M35 pedals for a good price!

Just an update. First of all I wish to thank GIDad for driving from Kingman AZ to Phoenix to pick up a Bendix 550 compressor and hydraulic pump and shipping it to me...could of sworn there were some SteelSoldiers closer.... So that was the last hard part to get...been trying literally for years...
