Nice GMC! Red River Parts in New Boston can help you with troop seats and Feltz Tire across I-30 from there may have 7 new 11.00's for you.
Someone kept that truck in a barn for a long long time. Love the USA number 41111124, easy to stencil back on.
What was ambient temperature? If is was a 95 degree day and the spec is for a 60 degree day, you are most likely still in spec. These transfers typically give warning signs when failing, like wobbly shafts, leaks, noise. The shop vans put a lot of strain on the powertrain due to weight and...
That is a nightmare. My only advice is to find the other end of the cut wire and connect one probe of your ohmmeter to it and check each cut wire for continuity. One wire will end up at the fuel tank sender, one at the oil pressure sender, and one at the temperature sender. One will have +24...

See post 63. If you can find your truck in the list, that means it was a US Army truck in service into the 1990s. Sorry no unit IDs were stored in the database.
Better check the date codes on the 16.00s before you send a driver. If they are ancient, a blowout is likely. Suggest having it hauled. The wheels are 20” with a very untypical bolt circle.
SEEs "KINDA" meet the requirements for machinery plates in TX. No title on machinery. MIGHT be an avenue to go down if all else fails. Personally I would probably consider buying a SEE with a bill of sale and machinery plates.
Your truck is a 1968. It shows up in the historical database, see post 4, M54A2WW file, page 34: Find "5F4585"

No unit data is given unfortunately.
The red circled device is the pop off valve also called the pressure relief valve. It's purpose is to vent if the unloader fails to shut off the compressor and it runs away. It should vent at probably 190 PSI. If it's venting all the time, work it loose with some WD-40 so it isn't stuck open.
No idea on the button, but the 2 cylinder compressor should make air until the unloader trips out at around 150 psi. Then the engine and compressor just runs until the pressure drops to say 90, at which time the unloader trips again and air is made.
See, now they will have to pull it back off and hillbilly wizard will have to send it back to their rebuilder for warranty work.
Next time skip the middle man and have a highly reputable rebuilder reman your pump.
