Default Usaf 1970 wm-80

Hello,

My name is John and I am new to the club. I recently picked up a retired military truck, it was a USAF POL fuel truck that a farmer removed the tank from.

It has the 478M with Allison automatic and air brakes on all axles.

The only problem with the truck I have found so far is a melted piston. I'm not sure where or how I will get a replacement. All of the custom piston makers I called said no as soon as I specified "5.125 inch"

I hope to save the engine if at all possible, my long term plan is to build a roll-back for it. Would make a nice hauler for taking my tractors to shows.

Thanks for looking!
