Congrats on the purchase. One word of caution.....it won't be your last. Once the OD virus is in your blood, you won't be able to control yourself :twisted:

Everyone knows that all the cool guys have M109's. And the coolest of the guys with M109's are the ones that put super singles on them ;) Going to singles is pretty easy and is worth the effort. Though I would wait until you actually get the truck before deciding what you want to do with it...

Or you can save yourself a heap of trouble and just install a 24v to 12v converter like I did. That way you can also use it with the truck off, unlike an additional alternator where the truck must always be running to supply 12v power. The one I got is 20amps, but the company makes them up to...

Looks pretty solid and rust free. Nice score.

Good looking truck. Welcome to the M109 club.

Many places sell them and the price depends on condition and location. Then there are also the steel versions and the newer fiberglass versions. I have seen them run from $100 up to $1500. Eastern Surplus: M35 For Sale. Deuces for Sale Turbo Diesel, Army Trucks, Logging, Heavy Trucks, Off-Road...

I have read that some people have been able to dye the tan vinyl to different colors. I have never seen it done in person, but several people here on SS have stated that they dyed their tan colored cab tops to green using regular house paint some how. That is just an idea in case you are...

One of our own members makes decals. Send an email to "Polverone" for a list of decals. His decals are very high quality and I have them on all my trucks. Here is a thread on his stuff: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/20289-decals-list-pics-help.html As well as a link to his...

There are only two types of people in a zombie apocalypse. There are the people that are prepared, and those that are not. The latter are also referred to as "lunch" for the zombies :D

Yup there is one with the complete arctic kit for the M35A2. I can't find a picture of one installed, but here it is in parts.

We only put things about the troops on our trucks, such as the yellow ribbon, "Support our Troops", or my favorite "Please stand behind our troops...or feel free to stand in front of them". I wouldn't put anything political on the truck. While I feel strongly on some issues, it is not worth...

There are many posts about that power cable. The original is very hard to find, and making your own is very expensive. I installed a 30AMP R/V power connector on my M109. Works great. There is also a 50AMP version available. Picture of it installed before I painted the truck.

I think you are probably tired after such a long drive ;) Looks like a solid project. Can't wait to see some closer up pictures when you can!

I saw a listing for some in the latest Military Vehicles Magazine from "Ranchers Supply Company" in Colorado. They seem to have several to choose from. Picture from their website:

I know he is a little far from you, but Dave Newman at Eastern Surplus sells the complete winch assembly with PTO. Just give him a call to find out what he is asking for it.

I thought that you couldn't import foreign armor into the US. That is just plain stupid if you can repatriate US made armor. Was there any reasoning behind this decision? Or was it just the normal government response of "because we say so".

Hey stop finding all the cool stuff. Or at the very least bring me along! :D You went from finding a unimog one day to a tank the next. I think the only thing to top that would be finding an Avro Arrow ;)

I would assume you are talking about an MLVW? I would also assume you bought it at Prefair in Montreal? If you did, I am not surprised. One of the trucks we bought there has break problems. And the other truck needs the breaks adjusted. Most of the trucks he has left are in pretty poor...

Okay cool. There is one exactly the same sitting by the side of the road between Barrie and Angus. It has been sitting there for several years in front of a car lot. Someone posted a picture here a couple months ago but I can't find the link. From what I can remember we was asking around the...

This wouldn't happen to be the one near Barrie/Angus would it?
