I've always wanted one since I was a kid. I think the A2 with its' 10 wheels just looks cool. After I retired I bought one instead of a red 'vette or 22 yr old blonde. I joined a military vehicle club and we participate in parades and put on static displays to raise funds for veterans causes...

5198- if the item on the firewall is silver (mine is) it is the safety cut-off switch. Don't mess with it. The regulator is black and usually mounted on the frame behind the left front wheel. You can get rid of that- its not needed.

Ha! I think I remember an earlier post from you about that. The steel plate sounds like a good idea. Actually I had forgotten about the off-road hazards, but don't do much out here anyway.

BTW, Dipstick, where did you end up buying your heater kit?

I always get 60 psi oil pressure at startup- temperature hasn't made a difference for me so far. Mine has a new dose of Shell Rotella.

Installed an Air-O-Matic air steer unit. Can turn my skinny NDCC's with one hand while stopped now! Life is good!

That's weird- dont know what happened here, but since about November we have had numerous UFO sightings. Go to YouTube and search "UFO Gilbert". ( Gilbert, Az)

Were you using dark colors like 24087? It seems the lighter colors are not problematic but all the colorant in the dark colors extends the drying time. A few monts ago I painted a boarding ladder with the Behr using a poor match to the 24087 and it stayed tacky for about 2 months.

Well, it's been almost two weeks and my painted parts are still as tacky as they were when I wrote my last post. So, I abandoned the latex paint and switched to Gillespie from Rapco. It sprays on great and is dry by the next day.

The vertical piece bolts to the top of the frame rail- the horizontal platform through the sheet metal. Hope these pics help.

Don't know how to send a link but it's still there listed as "m35a2 military duece and a half 6x6 heater". The seller is "brucerestoration".

I was just searching under "m35a2". Let me see if I can find a link.

There's a heater kit on eBay now for $99. Everything but cables, hoses, & switch.

If you need to find ANYTHING, M35A2-AZ, Albert, is your go-to guy. He knows how to find anything and everything! Good job Albert!

I replaced mine a few months ago, buying one from a SS member. They can be hard to find, keep checking the "parts for sale" classifieds. If you can't find one another SS member bought a slightly smaller core at Autozone. He filled the gaps around the core with weatherstripping or spray foam-...

Ok, thanks! I'll keep that in mind if I need to do this again.

Glad it worked out for you. I thought about doing that but couldn't figure out how to remove & replace the wire where it enters the plug on the pump. Somehow that needs to be "fuel proof ".

Steve, thanks for the insight. I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens.

Sticky paint question: I had some Olympic exterior latex paint mixed at Lowes (HD could not color match OD semi-gloss!) to paint my deuce. Two days ago I painted some small parts I had removed from the truck. Although they were inside a warm garage, they are still "sticky". No paint...

Matt, that looks outstanding! Maybe someday you can help me with my deuce :)
