    deuce top (pic added)

    That mount is definatly a gun rack, and in many states rifles are cool in a rack even if restricted to transport otherwise. Sure would draw some attention though 8)

    Borrow a tow bar for a weekend ?

    Re: RE: Borrow a tow bar for a weekend ? There is really not to much to them, and even the military ones are not extremely well crafted. The new towbars that GL had for sale this week had some buggery ass welds on them. If you are making one for yourself make sure you make it as strong or...

    Borrow a tow bar for a weekend ?

    I liked those pick like above and from your 5-ton ebay auction showing the 5-ton towing the 2.5-ton. It actually makes the deuce look small :)

    RE: deuce top With canvas tops wouldn't you have to worry about water getting trapped in the roles? Looks good though.

    M1009 Rear Chunk Gear Replacement

    RE: the term "chunk" I don't know about OEM other then you local or online GM dealer. Aftermarket replacement I would start at Randy Ring and Pinion (www.ringpinion.com). They have been good to me in the past. On ebay I ran across some new no name spiders for $93, so if it was me I would at...

    M35 Bow wood dimensions + Hardware?

    I'll keep you in mind once I get them. I need to make sure I have no use for them. I am fairly sure that the side boards won't fit the 2.5 ton as I don't remember them being 12ft long. I think they are shorter like the 5ton dropside with the two section sides. The headboard might be...

    M35 Bow wood dimensions + Hardware?

    I don't think that there are any board sections in that auction, but I also won another lot down the road that has some stake/board sections I think for a 5 ton. I have to look at them more, but I don't think I have a use for them. They do look new though, so I would hate to chop them up if...

    M35 Bow wood dimensions + Hardware?

    I may have just solved my bow/cover problem as I won a GL auction last night that at has them. I bid blind though, so I just hope everything is usable. I had to buy a M105 trailer, a M101 trailer bow/cover set, and some covers/bow for the 5 tons. Anyone need something? I should know the...

    M1009 Rear Chunk Gear Replacement

    "chunk" does not mean anything when it comes to vehicles. Cheese or chocolate maybe, but not trucks. If you are talking about the read axle then I would check ebay or go to your local pull-it-yourself junkyard. GM 10-bolts are very common GM vehicles. Aother option is checking out...

    M543A2 Winner On GL

    So if they realize after you get it home that it needs and EUC approval do you have to return it till the paperwork clears :?: Nice truck by the way.

    M543A2 Winner On GL

    That is wierd. On GL you can find items like transmissions listed as both EUC and non-EUC, but I have always seen big trucks listed as EUC.

    It only took me about 20 days to get my first EUC done last month.

    Deuce gun rack in cab

    I have seen a pic of one mounted muzzle up just to the right of the instument panel with a standard military gun rack like the ones in the M1008/m1009. I have no idea if that is the official location though.

    Turbo Maps for 5 Ton

    If it works that will have been good deal. If it was the lot I think then I bet it was due to the EUC junk. Is there really a M35 radiator in that lot? I am guessing: http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=1014467

    M35 Bow wood dimensions + Hardware?

    Looks like I will have to answer this myself. Here is what I got after stopping by the local DRMO. These are all off of a really old wood set, so there may be shrinking or warping. The verticals are 2-7/16" x 15/16" x 45". It looks to be 41-3/8" down from the bottom of the metal corner. The...

    M35 Bow wood dimensions + Hardware?

    Yeah I picked up the corners I needed from that guy. I will have to email about the uprights. It probably would be useful to get this info posted though as I have found all the info for M37s and M101 trailers, but nothing about M35s. I know lots of people have bows on thier trucks.

    M35 Bow wood dimensions + Hardware?

    I am looking to put together a set of bows for my M35A2C. I already have the corners, so I need to to make new wood and hardware. Can someone provide the dimensions of the all the wood. I guess the top bow would be the hardest as older bows will have sagged, so fresh bows or metal ones would...

    Replacement seat covers and foam options.

    Cool two good sources, and resonable prices. What shade green are those Adirondak Dodge vinyl covers? Did you guys just replace the all the original padding or supliment it with additional foam? Thanks

    New Seats in a M35

    Show off. I am looking to redo and improve the foam in the originals, but your idea does look comfortable. They do make all weather seat covers for some seats these days that might be helpful with cab leaks that others have mentioned. I can't see what would limit you other then the overall...
