It's been kind of slow making progress on the old m211. Pulled the lower pan and can see rust in #3 cylinder. The rest look good. Got tired of driving back and forth, so the troops and I moved it up to the shop. We discovered that it's a two woman job to steer a truck that is being pulled! Looks...

The seizing of the 302 is something that still draws my curosity...I've got other engines that have sat for years without issue. Oh well, looks to be a fact of life. Nice work, I'm sure it gets to be a chore as the corral fill up. digging the stubby wrench-when I turned wrenches for a living...

Yeah and if the molasses doesn't free it up, at least you'll feel like eating it. I've never tried evap o rust that gimpy Robb was talking about, but have tried seafoam, atf, atf and laquer thinner, mystery marvel. I need to yank the head and see what's going on. Nice to see that lifting eye on...

good to know plowboy. The one I've got is seized tighter than tight and it only been a few years since it ran-supposedly It seems as though these were common to seize up, more so than most I have worked on. Is it cause the exhaust is open to the elements, do you have an explanation? Wouldn't...

So what would the truck do...the wheels would turn opposite? The valvetrain definitely looks nasty on that engine. What color is that m756a2 painted with. That m35 of mine I would like to repaint more to the correct Vietnam era color. Looks like you got a good find with those trucks. More pics...

Haha, digging the tow lights! Nicely done. Did you end up steering the g749?

Nice, digging the winch!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hhf4ynHqVqA while this probably belongs more in the cckw forum, thought I would share this video I found of assembling trucks overseas. Pretty humbling to realize what people have done to maintain freedom, even when not in active combat. Looks like basic setup to...

Awesome I love the patina in those unpainted trucks. Ehat r your plans for it? Total resto or just use?

thought it was time to bring this thread back and see what new trucks have surfaced on SS. Long live the g749!!

Hole cut in the fan shroud by crank nut.

I also pulled my drivelines off the pumpkins, and suspended them from the chassis. I'm told you can flat them something like 5 miles before damaging tranny. I suppose you could shift the t case to neutral, but pulling the drivelines guarantees no problems in that department. Not sure why they...

It went well other than someone was tailgating me the whole way!! Cornering did well, just take everything wide, and no i did not tie the steering off. The steering will track right behind you if left unrestrained. I pulled a few jeeps with tow bars and you wanna always be sure the steering is...

I'll have to get some and give it a try. In the mean time I will try to post a video of the cylinders with the bore scope

I will check on those shouldered bolts. I have heard good things about that company just never looked. Kroil may need to be an option. I really think this truck was well taken care of, just had moisture get into it. Tranny fluid looks great. I'll dig out a bore scope, blow that oil out of the...

The fan shroud is cut, but the radiator is still intact there. I was a little confused as to why the shroud would be cut, with the radiator being in place behind it. Okay thanks for the clarification on how the winch is used on these.

I am also curious about the necessity of the hub in six pic over, the one that bolts to the pulleys. It has a keyway going nowhere. I would assume that is used to connect to a front winch? If that be the case then I would assume that there is a winch radiator, and a non winch radiator? Not sure...

Working on getting this stuck 302, unstuck. I knew buying this truck going into it that it had a stuck engine. Two owners back the guy drove it home and parked it. The kid I bought it from said it was stuck when he bought it and he tried freeing it up, that #2 had some rust. I put some seafoam...

Awesome looks like you have anough there for a couple of trucks. Just done flat towing a 211 with my m35a2. I used a towbar from JasonJc

so did they manufacturer 211s in Canada-were they designated as 211
