Two of my 12 year old Hawkers finally gave up so sure I’m in!

Brutally honest here: preexisting medical conditions and maintaining and operation of 2 1/2 ton trucks don’t go together. If anything you will get ADDITIONAL medical conditions. Suggest you downsize to a CUCV Blazer. Speed you want along with power steering.

When the bearing halves are that bad, you can be almost 100% certain the crank needs to be turned.

You will need to inspect all the bearings. Suggest you use plastigauge.

LMTV covers have the sides split down the middle as a front and rear flap on both sides. So it’s not that.

Ah ok. Maybe an entire take off cab might be the least man hours to running again.

Alternator failed looks like. Causes the voltage to go nuts and burn up wiring.

Only way to do it right! Truck will turn out great when starting with a solid foundation.

Pull out the choke half way. Or better yet, send the carb to Brooks Engine Service

WWW.M715zone.com. You will have to register there to see the manuals.

Unfortunately I am incorrect, this site does not have M715 manuals, you will have to go to M715zone.

Sure, dig around in the “TM download” section of this website, it will be a appendix of a manual ending in -20, -24, or -34. I can’t recall which.

Well if you were using a V8 GM engine I would suggest using a distributor from a M114 APC (it had a 283). To retain the GM set up, there are 24/12 converters available.

Yes. Probably better than the old design.

Are you asking if you can use a Delco style 24v alternator instead of mounting the M715 unit on your GM engine? Sure, that is a good idea.

If it’s a new belt, they tend to stretch a bit upon being run. Retighten.

I would think your Army registration number on the hood is not what you stated with 69 added to the vehicle identification number. Especially if it’s an AM General A2. That was a Ford thing. The heater has nothing to do with the vehicle identification.

Oh sorry, yes, the F has a valve cover on top of the engine. L is a flathead with 4 spark plugs sticking straight up.

Yes those are stock deuce wheels. Lock ring tube type wheels that people use to mount tubeless 395's with tubes. Not the best set up. That tire is dry rotted and will blow out. Many vendors offer 395s now, that is the most common US Army tire now. Shop price and delivery cost. Ask for...

There are F and L 134 engines. The valve in the vent line is for the fording kit. There is or should be a second valve next to the positive crankcase ventilation valve. When both are closed, blowby pressure will build up in the crankcase which will keep water from seeping in.
