John Adverstises in MVMagazine. Has a great shop and does a wonderful business renovating 2.5 and 5 ton trucks. Also sells parts, tires, and does such work as paint, repairs, and conversions (such as a 4x4 conversion of the M35...). Really nice guy. Donated a pair of tires for the East...

Kenny, if you do, give me a shout... I'm planning on attending and we should get together. Especially if you drive up in something big enough to haul your towbar home....

I had a phone call last night from a gentleman asking if we (NCMVPA) would be so kind as to attend a fundraiser/dedication for a Veterans' Memorial in Connelly Springs (Burke County, NC) this May 20. The memorial is the work of LIFE SCOUT MATTHEW ALAN ZIMMERMAN and is his Eagle Scout Project...

I paid something like five dollars for a platic box with an assortment of "E" clips at my local Agri-Supply. At least ten of them in the box are the correct size for the bigger clips on the p-brake asembly (the ones that hold the shoes themselves in place on the big pins) and there were a...

Bob Kelly at hammerdownoffroad and Bryan Sage in Colorado both make adapters that allow one to run the HMMWV rim/wheel combination on a M37... Bryan is also currently working on a setup to allow one to run the LAAV rims/wheels so that you don't have to unmount/mount the Michelin tires that have...

My current convoy plans... Drive the M37 with a M101 in tow (really hope to have a buyer for this M101 as I've got too much stuff in the yard...) Got a buddy who is planning on driving up in my M35A2C, may have a M105 in tow depending on how many parts I bring to sell (and I wouldn't mind...

Bjorn, I've got a project list that is way too long, so I can understand where you are comming from... :) How about bringing a bunch of the soap up to Aberdeen??? I have got to get my bathroom finished (had to replace a lot of rotted wood in the floor where the former owner didn't understand...

The injector shop near me refers to injector cleaner as "tune up in a can"... Every now and again, when the truck(s) seem sluggish, I dump a bottle of Power Service or Stanadyne labeled injector cleaner into the tank... Used to do the same once every six months or so with Techron in my gas...

Yep, standard Budd construction... Folks have... Problem is in finding a blank that you like and then welding them in nice and true with a quality weld... Stockton Wheel used to do the conversion, but decided some time ago not to continue with their efforts. Folks have reported having...

I've purchased stuff off Ebay in the past, and look for stuff from him when I need parts as the price and quality have been good. Time to recieve parts has been a little slow at time, but then, so have parts from other folks (and I have been known to be a tad slow sometimes as well, and that...

I'm very tempted to just take the OEM filter out of my M35A2C and hand it over the counter at my local Komatsu dealer (about a block from my office, very good guys at the parts counter, get all my Cummins parts from them...), and ask them to get me a replacement... They are a Donaldson dealer...

FWIW, The folks at Susquehanna Motorspports (where I get all my Hella E-code H4 assemblies and H4 burners in 6, 12, and 24 Volts depending on which MV I am working on, have a great selection of Hella relays (some with ATO blade fuses, some without). I figure that I could go with a military...

Memphis has them, but be sitting down when they tell you how much they cost... I need a unit for my M35A2C (900x20 tires), but am running without the speedo until I can snag a good used one... The guts to my right hand drive fell out about a year ago... Got the drive piece that...

Did you check the cable running from the battery to the starter?? It runs under the cab on it's way forward and may have chaffed along the way and be shorting out when you crank the truck... You also have the electrical line to the pump in the fuel tank running along the rear edge of the...

Take a look at Ed's M37 on my website at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/photos35.htm I'd tell you to look at photos of my 1983 M35A2C since it is an ex-USAF truck, but it was painted in three color camo when I got it... It is a tactical truck... Took a lot of photos and measurements from...

You might want to check to see if PA has any requirements that are more stringent than the Federal ones... but: You do not need a CDL for the M35. For that matter, you don't need an air brake endorsement on your non-CDL license. The M35 has air over hydraulic brakes and these are considered...

We've got several meeting spots in MD where you can join up with the convoy depending on where you actualy are... Some of the "feeder serial" routes are not listed on the convoy website since we have to see who registeres and where they are before we can plan routes and group folks togother...

The XM708 has the same wheelbase as the M37... About 200 of them got built... Chasis is the XM53B1 which is the same as the M37's chasis except that it has extra springs in the rear and some additional frame reinforcement along with boosted brakes. The specification PDF is interesting...

AMGeneral's truck is in Western North Carolina...

I'm very interested in how this is going to affect things here in North Carolina... Our Tag/Title folks (contract folks with the exception of one office each in Raleigh and Charlotte run my DMV personell) know what a SF97 is and expect to see one before they will issue a title...
