Wanted: M135/M211 Transmission Parts

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

Got the following e-mail from a friend who is looking for transmission parts for the GMC automatics, so if you think you can help, post something or drop me a private message and I'll put you in touch with Steve. Steve by the way is truly knowledgeable of all the US WWII Chev and GMC so he probably be able to respond in kind with information and parts sources.

"
Because you deal with Canadian collectors, do you know, or do they know who in Canada sells parts for the GMC automatics? Some of the parts are the same as a CCKW/Chev

Thanks
Steve"




Cheers Phil

Nobody out this way for NOS transmission parts. Even the company who did the rebuilds for the military in the early 80s (Wes-trans in Winnipeg) used to merely mix and match between the NS transmissions in a lot of cases.

A few weeks ago there was a Kijiji posting from Lac St-Jean, Quebec of Deuce and a Half parts.

http://saguenay.kijiji.ca/c-autos-et...AdIdZ468619207

"I have a lot of different pieces of model military truck M211 6 X 6 GMC of the 1970s. Stored for more than 25 years. The owner sold several military trucks at the time. One of these trucks had been dismantled. Several pieces were sold and I offer what is still available. An engine 6 cylinders fairly complete pieces. It was reassembled in 1980. Including the crankshaft, camshaft, the crankcase, cylinders, valve cover, and the engine block itself. I also have the the oil filter, 24 volt starter and oil fill kit. These three elements will be sales to share. The engine is in the Lac St-Jean. See my other listings of government surplus. Price is negotiable."

Be advised, this is a one day drive from even the civilized parts of Quebec.

I have no transmission parts, but I do have several complete transmissions to choose from.
Problem 1: I'm a long way from New Hampshire, in southwestern Ontario. In American terms, I'm about an hour east of Detroit.
Problem 2:They're all in trucks. One of the trucks has the engine already out, so that would be the easiest to get the transmision out of. Unfortunately, I don't expect to have time to remove or ship a transmission any time soon.
Do you know anyone in the area who could come and pick one?
Maybe your friend would like to buy a complete truck or 2?

I have some NOS parts as well as gasket and seal kits and the detailed army manual for rebuilding the hyramatic transmission. Also army rebuilt units. However I can't imagine what parts would be in common to CCKW/Chev. certain parts are in common to the hyramatics used in some other army vehicles. ... Brian

Phil, I AM IN THE LAC ST.JEAN Saguanay QC AREA RIGHT NOW... I am here for work for the next week or so, have truck and trailer with space available, some crew returning to Montreal area, some to Toronto area.
One of our Montreal crew is a huge automotive enthusiast/collector/restorer.
I checked the map as posted with the Kijiji ad, and the seller is about 30 minutes south of where I am working (Alma, QC).
