    huge grayling deuce auction

    Yes, At least a third of the trucks were listed incorrectly. I did not get any winch trucks, and only bid on 3. But there are going to be some unhappy customers looking for winch trucks that are not there. Bill

    huge grayling deuce auction

    I tried to start both M920's. One was the one listed properly and the other was listed as a deuce with the wrong photo. My battery cables were too small to provide enough current to start them. Imagine the suprise of the buyer of the "M35A2"" when they come to pick it up and it's really an M920!!

    "Citizensoldier" is right, and I value his advice. This will have to be thought out carefully. I don't want anyone to take unnecessary risks. Bill

    huge grayling deuce auction

    The trucks I bid on went for between $600 and $2500 I drove up at the inspection and jumped every truck that would not crank. Then I bid on the ones that ran and had brakes. I jumped over 100 trucks that day. Anyone know someone near Grayling that could store the trucks for a very short period...

    looking for an M35 fuel tank & the locker is finally installed

    looking for an M35 fuel tank & the locker is finally installed

    Dennis, Thanks so much for all your efforts. But I have struggled much in the past from fuel system problems, even changing out an engine with a chronic problem. So I want my tank to be (super clean) If I can't find a "really good" used or NOS tank, I may build my own tank out of...

    looking for an M35 fuel tank & the locker is finally installed

    I can't move it, but can probably find storage for it if you can find a way to move it to Montrose, MI. 48457 If you find a way to move it and need storage let me know, and I'll ask my friends who have room. I would offer on my place but I live in town on a 75 ft wide lot. (next to a village...

    M35 Wheel Vibration

    I had that exact same problem. Then finally a tire went flat, and when I had it pulled off the rim they found a new flap rolled up inside the tire. It still had the rubber band around it. It was between the tube and the tire bouncing the truck around for the last couple years!

    looking for an M35 fuel tank & the locker is finally installed

    looking for an M35 fuel tank & the locker is finally installed

    Hi, I am still working on my bobbed deuce. The rear locker is in and I am working on the brakes. Good thing I pulled the axle apart as one of the outer bearings had failed. It wouldn't have driven much farther! Turns out the fuel tank has a hole rusted in the bottom. Anyone have a...

    Cab Reinforcement Plates

    In the photos by M813Rc earlier in this post. What is the extra peice of metal bolted to the top edge of the rear of the cab? I found one on a truck last year and removed it, it has what looks like a hood latch on one end. But I don't know what it is for? It was in a truck with the cab...
