Background: I just drove the truck from Arizona to Kansas with 98Gs incredible help. When I picked up the truck it started to occasionally pop out of high range. Neutral, full stop, and it would re engage without grinding. I adjusted the linkage and tied up the handle. That worked until the...

Devious minds are thinking about cooking up an abomination of a project. The recipe includes: 1 part rolled Toyota Tacoma with a Total Chaos long travel kit/Deaver rears 1 part M35 cab, fenders, hood, and front clip 1 part M1101 or M101 hull. a dash of plasma cutting a jigger of welding and a...

Well, yesterday started as a normal day. The plan? To move the 530C that a coworker bought from me some time back. I had just finished putting a set of G177 from 98G on the truck, it looks fantastic and the ride quality in my tests around town proved to me that the truck handles and rides better...

I have been thinking more and more about putting a 5th wheel plate back on the 54'. Obviously, since the truck has been stretched forward and aft of the bogie it is no longer a true M-45, and with the 5th wheel plate on it won't fit into the category of a M48 because of the stretched wheelbase...

Hey guys! We are having a mudbog down here in Socorro on April 13th 2013! How about we have a rally the same day? As a part of the planning we are talking about making an MV class for the mudbog event to really stir up the pit for the modified and super-modified guys. We have not updated the...

Well, I have fallen off the deep end of the pool. A deal came up that I just could not pass up. I have snagged a 54' REO gasser M35. The truck was in Las Vegas, NM so a road trip from Socorro to Vegas was necessary. We exchanged goods on Friday and I got a crisp New Mexico Title in hand. On...

What an adventure! 200 miles, tons of smiles, 10 bald tires, one blown tire, and death wobble! I found a DAF-YA-126 on Craigslist a while back, told a buddy about it, and he just HAD to have it! So we brokered a deal and decided to meet the previous owner in Show Low, Az, a little over 200...

Hi all! If you are in New Mexico and have Veterans Day (11-11-11) off you should warm up your rig and come to the Paloma Landing Seniors Center in Albuquerque on Veterans Day. The community has a number of WWII and Korea Veterans as residents that have organized a Veterans Day meet-and-greet /...

I have been away from the forum for a while, moving, working 3 jobs, and keeping up with classes have taken priority over reading up on OD iron. Unfortunately, this has also meant that I have neglected the deuce a bit. I have not really taken her out much lately other than the occasional run...

I know I have seen a couple M35 frames transformed into trailers but I can't seem to find a build thread on any of them. Does anyone have build photos? Is there any sort of science to finding the point to notch and bend the frame? How does one actually BEND the frame? How is the lunette ring...

Well, I decided to do a little sanding to find some unit numbers on the deuce today. I am relatively sure that the last unit painted on it is the 111 MEB which would be logical for a NM truck as it the 111 MEB is in Rio Rancho, NM. However, as the sanding continued a mystery developed... a date...

I bought a deuce from a private party a couple of weeks ago. I think my neighbors all think the "Crazy college students have REALLY lost it now!" :cookoo: I took it out yesterday to get a few pictures of it in the wilds of New Mexico. Enjoy!:grin:
