Tires are going on a 73 year old museum piece used 4 times a year for parades. Tires should look period correct with the non directional bar grip tires in my opinion.

Dave quote him some nice 75% 11.00-20 NDCCs you have.

I would not put 9.00-20s on a M135, wouldn’t look right, too short. $610 is too much for a 11.00-20 NDCC, call around, a good used surplus tire should be $100.

By hydro you mean hydraulic lifter? Sure they can make noise but not out of the intake that I am aware of. Usually popping noise in the intake manifold is due to a valve issue.

How bad are yours? My M135 has a Gates Rubber Co tire on it dated 1964 and it’s good as new. For the occasional parade, these ancient tires still can do the job. Not so much for carrying 5 tons and 58 mph runs. Site sponsor Eastern Surplus has 11.00s, Feltz Tire used to have em.

It slips over the wire in the bell shaped rubber shell.

I think you have ignition timing issue. You should be able to fully rotate the ignitor from retarded to advanced, the engine will go from struggling to sounding good to struggling. In the video it sounds like it is struggling.

MTP is a highly regarded remanufacturing outfit from Many, LA. My 6.2 had water in it when i got it, for many months. I only had to sleeve one hole due to pits and most everything cleaned up.

Hmm. Suggest you check for spark right after the stall occurs. Need to determine if ignition is to blame. Also, the ignitor should be positioned as shown in the TM, with the power connector pointing down. I think timing being way off can result in your low vacuum issue. Roll the engine to...

Usually I would point you towards carb flooding but the filter you installed should prevent that. I’m assuming you have no black smoke and typical sputtering associated with the float needle getting stuck open and flooding the engine? Next I would investigate the low vacuum. Try disconnecting...

Damn that is nice. Google “K-60C signal corps” and it comes back as “van multi purpose”. As you can see the data plate lists the chassis as CCKW-353, not CCW-353. Did you buy the Studebaker in the background as well?

Well someone built that, not saying that is a bad thing, just understand CCWs were cargo trucks built especially for line haul on the Red Ball Express.

Me I do. 6X4 CCWs were cargo trucks only, are you saying you have the K-53 radio van on the back of yours?

Cheapest option is to rebuild what you have. You might only have to sleeve a few cyl bores due to rust pitting. Bottom end should be ok. Nice clean truck you ended up with.

What are your plans for it? Fix and sell into Central America? Hydro seeder?

So two 51's are the same exact footprint as one 6TL? Good to know, I standardized on 51's long ago as they fit M38a1s. Even have one in my Ford Ranger.

Hour meter means it was a AN/MRC-83 radio Jeep.

Civilian Turbohydramatic 400s have park.

Easy enough to wire it in, just don’t use a 12 volt unit. Your alternator is also not real happy with high loads unfortunately.

I wonder if the rebuilt unit got a front axle upgrade to locker? Do both have the USMC characteristics like rear bumpers and data plates?
