m35a2 parts running out!!!!!!!!!

[ctmustang]

wandering what you fellas think about how much longer the m44 series parts inventory will hold out after last deuce etc. is sold at GL.

 

[dm22630]

A very LONG time.

Every deuce that dies along the way will be a parts truck unless scrap prices are through the roof.

Concur.

To get a decent truck at GL prices, not long.
To get a parts truck or buy parts on the private market, quite awhile.

We are still able to get M38, M715, and even willys stuff. So although the sky is starting to fall on GL trucks, it is still ok in other areas.

now that new star is making new ones I doubt they will ever run out.

 

[bulldog_mack13]

Agreed , new and used parts will never run out . Think about the WW2 stuff , it will be repro but they will keep rolling

 

[scooter01922]

not to mention the 8 gazillion deuces produced, some will be parted all the time for the next foreseeable future if all else fails. But as already mentioned newstar makes just about anything you may need.

Any thought on the military's parts inventory showing up on GL? I would think there would be warehouses full of parts for the trucks, but there really doesn't seem to be that much showing up. We have had the power steering kits and the arctic heater kits but I haven't noticed much anything else or am I just not looking hard enough?

who and where is newstar

 

[maddawg308]

I have a feeling that deuce parts will be coming out of GL for many, many years. The military was still getting rid of WWII era parts in the 1980s, that had been stored away for decades after the vehicles were retired.

who and where is newstar

I think they are in China or somewhere overseas.


As far as parts running out, The deuce is going to be like the Jeep. When surplus starts running out aftermarket suppliers will step in to fill the void. Prices are sure to go up though.

I have no idea how many parts the military still has on hand. With all the trucks comming out into civilain hands they're going to need alot of parts.

No worries are parts running out. There are several 1,000 trucks out there. With the age of our truck the demand for parts are high so if there is a need someone will make them. Newstar makes new parts for our trucks. I certainly wouldn't worry about the availability of common parts.

 

[Stretch44875]

Many countries run the M35 as their standard truck, and need parts just like the USA. Look at the half-track, Israeli used them up till recently, and it's a WW2 truck.

 

[Michael]

Military surplus parts should be higher quality and lower priced than new made in china parts. I wonder if our government is going to give all of the parts to the countries they are giving some of the trucks to.

I don't know where you got China from. Here's a quote from their web site: "...state-of-the-art factories throughout North America and Europe for the manufacture of NewStar Components."


Many of the surplus dealers you and I buy from sell new star parts. They are well made. They have been making parts for the heavy truck industry for quite some time.

This company New Star in Korea ? Is thee a particular title or Company that can be found on the internet to find out more information or articles about the new Duces

I read it on here some time ago. I did a google search for "New Star" and came up empty handed.

Direct link to their military parts page. They have a nice 96 page pdf catalog.

I will note that every once in a while a part in the catalog says made in the USA. That implies that the rest of the stuff isn't.
