Hi Paul,
Just a note to help you out, No flame or disresprct intended! The M 211
and M135 series trucks built by GMC (Korean War era) were both powered by
a GMC 302 cid gasoline engine and were coupled up to an automatic
transmission ( Allison?--not sure). I had two of the m211's. They now
belong to someone else as I decided to go multifuel M 35A2.
Regards,
Frank
