Kenny, I'll second that comment (Iv'e actually already told you that you could drive any one of my three roadable vehicles, or just ride along with myself of one of the other guys...)
I'm in the same spaces that I had last year with the rest of the NCMVPA guys... Not sure what numbers I have so I'll post them when I get home and can check the actual location.
We are close to having the convoy website up with this year's info...
For those comming up from GA, you can hook...
I watched Bjorn and Adrian change a tire on a M105 during last year's convoy in about ten minutes... Sweat setup...
I also recently spent the day with a NCANG member who returned from Iraq a few months ago who really had not liked it when his 800 series truck had been replaced with a 900...
I use Warren 90wt GL1 that I get at Agri-Supply for $25 a bucket (5 gallon pail...). According to both the website and the info on the bucket, it exceeds all the mil standards for what the M35's gearboxes call for...
If you do go with a GL5, just make sure that you get one that is also MT1...
A buddy of mine (who is still not on this forum as far as I know) has a Studebaker M35 that was originally a gasser that was converted to a Multifuel... I know that there are several "oddities" about how the engine is fitted. If you don't get an answer from somebody else by Sunday, PM me and...
So, which is better, a red LED inside the housing with a red lens cover (tailight assembly on a M37, etc) or a white LED inside the housing with the red lens cover??
I read somewhere that it was better to have red LED even though you have red lens cover to convert a white one to red (as it does...
I use an applesead and figured out that bit about the extra manifolds and getting it higher up just by looking at the setup... and by looking at a few of the links provided showing how other folks assembled their verisons on the page... GirlMark is actually going to be holding a few classes...
I've sent everyone's wish list to my buddy (stuff posted on the forums and by PM as of this morning) so we'll see what he can snag this weekend. I offered to help him pull the parts, but was told that the deal was "one person, with only hand tools..."
Folks,
A buddy of mine is working on collecting parts from a bunch of trucks near him that are scheduled to be crushed in the next month of so... Several of them are M135/M211 and varients (a few tank trucks, dump, and tractor versions as well...) and he wanted to know what folks...

No, the front gate is not the only difference (I have a M104 and a M105 in the yard right now...)
The M104 has a front gate, and required a different front landing leg than the M105 in order for the front gate to sit flat when open. The front landing leg on the M104 does not come above the...
Get a "cheap" plane ticket to RDU, call local MV owner to arrange for pickup at airport, ride/drive up to Aberdeen in his M37 or M35A2C (not sure which one will be making the trip this year...)....
Convince him that he really "needs" to make a trip to Florida for a vacation so that he can...
Ahh, yes... I knew I would have to add something and you just reminded me what it was....
When a guy (you just know he is a vet...) walks up and starts talking about your truck, and tells you a story about his (or her) time in the service with a reference to a truck (just like yours, or...
The longer shift lever was fitted to the M37B1 and is easy to swap (just have to loosen one bolt) with the shorter unit fitted to the M37 transmission. If you can't find somebody with a B1 that wants to part with a shift lever, give Bill Lammers in Florida a ring as he has an extension for...
I'll likely have more to say at a later date, but I think everyone has pretty much covered my first impressions... I'll add though that my M35's, and my M37 (and to a lesser extent my M38) are very "honest" vehicles... They look just like what they are: tough, hard working, dependable...
And a big hello from North Carolina... Of course, I'll be scratching my head to figure out what you can bring down to Aberdeen for me in May... I'm also looking forward to your participation in the 2006 East Coast Convoy (folks, Ziggy didn't say, but he does a great job running convoy...
Since we are just talking about the M35's...
North Carolina
Virginia
Maryland
District of Columbia (not a state, but what the hey...).
If we were talking about the M37, we'd have a much longer list... :)
Glad to hear that it came off, even if it did in more than one piece... Let me know when you need a replacement as the one that I have is just hanging out on the shelf...
