I have the same feeling about the 395 upgrade. I also added air o matic steering so now the truck is very nice to drive and still has that old school character.

Use the search function in the forum. This has been discussed many times and will provide you with a lot of information. I own a M35 and a M932a1. I like them both but for different reasons. The search should answer most of your questions. Welcome to the forum !

The rear suspension is the same on the tractors and the cargos. The difference is the wheel base is about a foot shorter on the tractors and the frame is cut closer to the rear spring mounts.

I installed a parking brake switch and warning light on my deuce for this exact reason. Ericks has both. They are used on the M35A3 and I believe the M35A2C also has them.

Look in the classified section and make a post in the wanted section. I'm sure someone near you has one sitting around.

Yes ! I'm not a big guy but it made a nice improvement in comfort and leg room.

Vintage maine harness. They are worth the money.

Looking good TWM. Took my WC to its first car show. Just waiting for a few stenciles to finish it off. The steering is stiff and I'll be replacing the steering box :(

Thanks for the nice comments. With 4 MV's to take care of my wife has been very patient. So when I mentioned another project she said ok so what ya going to sell ? I'm thinking about another WW2 vehicle. I'm just about done with my 1943 WC52 and need something to keep my "attention." :-D...

I got my bed on my wc52 and the floor boards. I have a composite box so there are about 1 billion bolts to put in. Tomorrow I install the gun mount and try and do the wet sanding to put a coat or two of OD on the bed. Its getting very close ! TWM your work looks great hang in there.

Search the forum first then asked questions. Its almost a given that it has been done/asked /answered before. The biggest tires you can run on a deuce without rubbing is 395's on a non-lifted truck. If your running 14 or 16.00x20's you'll have rubbing issues.

I had to do the same thing, time consuming but not too difficult. Nice work.

The bigger shop; I agree, its never big enough. :D I've been working on my WC52 for 2 1/2 years and its finally getting close, hang in there.

Is that 1/2" steel plate on the sides. Do you have any support behind the hitch at all ?

Nice build and welcome home !

How about posting some detailed pics of the standard hitch setup you put on. I've been thinking about doing that to my tructor for a while.

Sounds like a nice adventure, glad everything worked out. Truck looks great with the big tires !

Stick with it. My cab was also very bad and now it looks great. I didn't have big rust issues like on the bed.
