I know you have to pull the door panel and such to replace the entire vent window frame. I was using the stock existing frame and just putting new glass in. Lots easier now that I have done it.

Stock M35 Gasser trucks had a mechanical fuel pump only. Any inline electric pump or in tank pump is an add on. The in tank pump is probably an M35A2 tank and pump. Because the Gasser fuel tank doesn't have a big enough opening in the top for the fuel pump assembly. That pump as you have...

Trade a plane, spruce specialty or just look through the EAA sight for vendors.

I can get the pin out. Nothing else comes apart though once it is out.

I asked the auto body teacher down the hall about it and here is what he suggest. Get a pair of snap ring pliers. The kind that open out when you squeeze. Very gently spread the metal of the channel with them. Put the glass in with a little bit of sealant or weatherstripping. Then at any...

That is what I was looking for. Thank you.

10 psi for every 1000 rpm is the old stand by to judge good versus bad pressure. Below that, start thinking bearings and pump. However, it is almost worth your while to get another 6.2, go through it and have it waiting. Then just swap it in when your other engine goes. Repeat and always...

You wash yours? Hmm, never thought of that. It really depends on what SHTF scenario you are thinking of. Around here it is all hurricane related. I am 140 miles from the coast, so bugging out isn't really a need. Getting around with downed trees and not having fuel because all of Houston...

Make sure you get the sender that goes with the gauge. The M35 used both 60 psi and 120 psi gauges. Mix up the senders and it will be way off. Otherwise, go for it. I would suggest a T at the sender so you still get the idiot light warning in case your gauge scan slows down.

I don't think I am using the proper wording for a search because I am not getting the result I know is out there. While junkyarding for a vent window, I found a proper stock center console for the M1009. It is blue though. I know I have seen threads here about people painting door panels...

The drivers vent window on my M1009 was broken when I got the truck. I finally had a chance to go junkyarding yesterday. I found a good glass assembly with good gaskets. When I opened the vent to start removing everything, the glass came off in my hand. Great I thought. I don't have to pull...

Here is a safety reminder. If you have a camo or green truck. Run with your lights on. People really have a hard time seing you in the day light.

The military went to a standard of 24V after WWII. That way any vehicle can jump start any other vehicle. Any radio can be put in any other vehicle. Can you imagine the troubles, expense and danger of having a 12V truck and people trying to jump start them with 24V trucks? Not to mention...

They are hard to find because the break into about 15 different pieces if you look at them wrong. I gently set one down once and it was broken when I picked it up a few days later. Nothing came near it while it was sitting. If you do find one, shipping will probably break it.

That is a 1968 or newer M715. The 725 didn't have a folding windshield or curved front door openings. The hood mounted air filter came along sometime in mid to late 1968. It could be a 724 or 726, but since those are kind of rare I doubt it. Look on top of the frame rail behind the...

You guys really need to read the -20 and study the wiring diagrams in the appendix at the back of the -20. 24V is used for the starting system. The rest of the truck is 12V. There is some cross contamination at the fuse box, starter relay, glow plug resistor and part of the alternator...

The 4-53 is a very heavy engine. You could make it fit. I have a 715 and a 4-53. I put a tape measure to them and it could work, not very easy, but anything can be make to work. 6.2 is the closest to drop in diesel out there.

That 1009, a 3 color 1009 and a green 1009 all were at the LSMVPA meeting last Wednesday. We all had wet shirts when we got out. There might be a slight difference while parked or sitting in traffic, but when it is 90 plus degrees outside and high humidity. Any non air conditioned vehicle is...

The M715 and M725 were made from 1967-1969. The engine is a Kaiser Jeep Tornado 230 OHC. It is a gas engine and will only run on gasoline. Early Wagoneers and J trucks had the same basic engine. They would be your source for a 12v starter. Vintage Power wagons will be just about your only...

The needle was still stuck in when I checked it last night. I had Colton push the pedal while I tried pushing the needle more. It didn't move. I had to go to town this morning for some stuff and drove the M1009. Brake light on and a lower than normal pedal. I was hoping one of the auto...
