    M35 Cargo bed cover mods

    I'd like to find a used canvas cargo cover for the M35. Does anyone have one they would sell and ship? I dont think the vinyl covers would look the part on my old girl. Honestly, with it being Strata blue, I'm not sure any of them will look good but I want it for a parade cover

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    here’s 2 videos of the truck running. Top speed run! Walk around This one was right after I got it running. You can see it’s not even been cleaned up and it’s still on the boat tank

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I just saw your replay this morning. I’ll see what I can do on some video clips. I’m not sure how to upload them. Here’s 2 engine shots right after I got it.

    A3 is still a cool truck in my book. That looks too much like work though. I hope you weren’t in 95deg temps like we were today.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I’ll try that but I doubt it will work. Honestly, we do go to some of the local cruise ins on occasion but we’re always in my 72 K5 Blazer with the top down. Maybe next time we can take the deuce and see how that goes.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Thank you sir! I’m rather fond of the old girl and thought those 3 were perfect for anyone stuck behind me. I really wanted a multi fuel but the gasser has a beautiful sound that’s all her own. I’m trying to convince my wife we need a bobbed A2 to park beside it.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I added some yellow decals to the doors and tailgate for the “correct” ish Air Force markings. Also some additional stickers in white that I had made just for Ole Blue.

    Denton NC 2021

    I’ve read many of the old Denton posts. I’ll be watching and hoping the event isn’t canceled as well. I would LOVE to take Ole Blue but I’m not sure it’s ready for the roughly 230 mile trip. Well, maybe we’re both not ready to go together at least. Unfortunately I don’t foresee our...

    How not to treat your deuce

    I the previous video he said he could get another one (truck) for $300 unless I misunderstood him. I'd love to know where so he doesn't destroy that one too.

    Cab heater W/ Reo OA-331 enigne.

    I know its been a few years but did you ever get the heater installed? Curious about what you went with since I also have a gasser.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Dash mount came yesterday and I got it installed today. I’m not real happy with the lower placement even though I measured it out by the instructions. I may move the front floor mount behind the back one.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I found a decent Jerry can with a 1951 date code. Cleaned it up and gave it a decent coat of Strata blue. Mounted the freshly painted can mount and the new strap and then finally put the can in place. One more piece to the puzzle! It really makes me want to paint the whole truck. I also got the...

    Hard Top or a Soft Top?

    Ole Blue is fairly quiet with the insulated hard top. It's also a gasser so it really doesn't compare to the multi fuel engines. :) I have a K5 Blazer thats way quieter with the hard top than the soft but again, kinda apples and oranges.

    Dual rifle dash mount source?

    Thanks guys. I had not checked back for a few days. I’ve been finishing a kitchen remodel. My Christmas present to myself “needed” a rifle mount. It’s not exactly period correct but close enough.

    Dual rifle dash mount source?

    I had to change the wording in my search but I was able to find one at a reasonable price on EBay.

    Dual rifle dash mount source?

    I want to install one of the dual rifle M14/M16 dash mounts in ole Blue. I’ve searched and struck out in the normal places. Does anyone have a source or one in their parts stash?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Don’t take this as an argument but my M35 is a ‘53 gasser. There was not any mounting points for a mustache spring. (See earlier pics) Therefore I can only guess it came without one and at some point it was a revision for newer truck. The replacement assembly I installed has it and it’s...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I’m good now. The newer setup is a direct swap. I just had to get the cable nut off. Not a lot of room up there.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    If you have the the short round handle style, I’m pretty sure the knurled end turns to adjust the cable pull. It’s another glorious rainy day here or I’d go take a pic of the M105 handle for comparison.
