The restoration looks very good, I also collect and restore both US and German military trucks, the closest I have come to an M26 is I owned a MACK 123 for a few years. The engine in the M26 was of course the Hall Scott but wasnt it like 844 cubic inch? If I am not mistaken the MACK 123 came out with and engine of spectacular cubic inches prior to them replacing it with the MACK V8 but diesel. Extremely interesting old truck!

He is probably one of the best MV mechanic you can find in europe. He have a very long vehicle restoration list. Brockway B666, M26 Pacific, M26A1 Pacific, M8 greyhound, M8 Howitzer Stuart, Ward la France, GMC CCKW, and many other smaller vehicles... All were stripped down and completly rebuild.
Thanks for posting this video. My Dad worked on these engines a bit in the field (Battle of the Bulge) but another friend told me how valuable he was to the U.S. Army, because of his skills with this engine. It was apparently not he easiest metal beast to set up the camshafts and distributor timing, and he was an expert in that, making him so precious that his commanders kept him in the safest surroundings possible. It also shows so well how satisfying engine work can be: "Ah! It runs!"
