    Deep water fording

    Ken, That makes sense. Other then that, the vent hoses and the extended breather tube what is needed to make a working fording kit? Can I get the regulator valve you are talking about somewhere and how hard is it to instal? I'm still talking about for an M35. Thanks for all the help! Steve

    Deep water fording

    MotorTMan, With just the external kit you are talking about what depth of water can a M35 ford on a hard surface bottom? I was thinking of making a "fording kit" by running hoses from all the drivetrain vents to the air intake can. My thought is that logically I should be able to ford water as...

    12 Volt power

    CaptB, Those are very good questions. I too have some 12V spot lights, light bars, etc that I need to use with my M35A2. I hope you get some good feedback on your questions because I can use the information too. By the way. I looked into converters too but the amps were way to low for high...

    Deuce Tips and Tricks

    Baja, My buzzer does not work eitrher and I don't even know where it is. I Know it is on the fire wall but I'm not sure what it looks like. Would you happen to have a picture of yours?

    Which paint for my 72 Deuce?

    I can olny tell you what I have learned and it sounds like the answer to your question is no. It was just solid green. Again, that is just what I have been told. Maybe someone out there that knows a lot more then me about this confirm that. Good luck.

    Which paint for my 72 Deuce?

    Hi everyone, I guess I've done it now. I made a date with the paint man for the first week of September. I would like to put my 72 Multi-Fuel Duce back to what she looked like when she left the factory. From what I read it looks like Gillespie (24087) seems to be the way to go for a 72. I plan...

It was not until later during the trip home I asked them how they knew so much about M35s and how to get them running so well... They all looked at me and asked what is an M35? I said the truck your are...
