We have started on the top rehab, although in good shape. I am doing a total rehab on it. ALso got the go lights out and took a look at them. Still debating on where I am going to mount them. I have an idea to use an ant mount bracket on upper left corner of shop van, there are mounting holes...

Hello Everyone, I myself have been thinking about the 2nd Alt, would want it for in the truck cab use and not the van box. I am guessing an additional alternator would cut the horse power. Anyone know how much power is lost by adding another alternator.t

Great week for progress but lousy for weather. Rain 6 of the last 7. We took a ride into Massachusetts this week. This week was fun filled, we welded in a few patches where there was some rust through. I used the jack to Straighten feft fender, took the park lamp assy apart and refinished it...

Yes everything in the box works great. Blower, heater, all lights, black out option. Defaulted when does are opened, the black out comes on, and the interior lights go off. and when you close the door the black out goes off and the lights come back on. I love they way the army thinks, well use...

All guages work so I dont think its for that. Ill get some more pictures of where it leads to. I am going to leave wiring intact. When I redid the inside of the exterior walls I inspected everything, looked very new. I did think about changing over to 12v, but I have a switch on the wall that...

Hello All! Thanks for the great words of encouragement and support. It was a great week, I learned to shoot paint. Wow, was that fun! SO I launched a full assault on the van compartment today. Rosie got in the van and washed the entire box. I then went in and masked the interior. I then gave the...

Yes they are 14.5 X 20's on the M35A3, the 14.0x20's will not fit with out a modification to the axels. I think the 395's are the same deal, spread the axels. My M35A3 had the 14.5X20 Super Singles on it, not easily found and very pricey. I picked up a full set of 7 for $900, they were in great...

It began at the show in Chester. My now wife (Rosie) saw an M109A3 at the show, and informed me that this is what we "needed". I loved my M35A3 and enjoyed every minute driving and working on it. After searching the country I found a few M109A3's all in pretty good shape. One in Florida and one...
