It was in high. Not low to make it better

Even after the shock upgrade, the front is very bouncy, I decided to do fluid balancing and added 1 gallon to each tire of straight antifreeze. Worked for me in the past. I did a half gallon up front and it made a big difference. 1 gallon hopefully should he enough to smooth it out. Truck...

Cleaned the fuel tank out before installing the strainer and locking fuel cap. No algae luckily but did have some rust particles. Fuel sending unit doesn't work so I am installing a new sending unit as well.

Swapped all gear oil from axles, t case and trans axles and t case got 80w90. Installed a napa spin for trans and went to amsoil synthetic powershift fluid 10wt. It's rated for Allison transmissions and has improved Temps. My trans had what looked like hydraulic fluid. Wasn't burned...

Moved the axle breathers up to the engine compartment. Ran a separate breather for the front axle to the passenger side, and rear axles to driver side. Also added new monroe shocks and added 16r20s with hemtt wheels. Installed front led side markers.

Replaced both windshields, new wiper arms and blades. Also got air motor wipers working. They were rusted from being in elements. After working them free they work great. Last photo is Brutus's first tow. I sold my m35a2 and the driver didn't have proper equipment to load the truck and...

Had a hiccup when doing overhead. When my buddy came up to help with the radiator, dual fuel line mod, and coolant filter, we did the overhead on the engine. As we got to the last cylinder, the feeler gauge broke and a piece went Into the engine. We tried looking for it and couldn't find...

Installed a 6" donaldson snorkel and cut 6" off the intake tube. Didn't want the snorkel 2 ft above the spare tire mount. After hard top goes on I will push down a little farther to get it as close to the hardtop to blend in.

My buddy helped me with the dual fuel line mod. Noticed some more improvement in performance but drastic change. Decided to add some armor lights and replace the halogen bulb with a LED replacement. It's a PAR36 bulb. They are used for landing aircraft. Very very bright. Have them wired...

I decided it was time to put a Pyro in before doing any significant driving or performance mods. Truck barely gets to 900 degrees pulling hills. Exhaust is clean when warmed up and pulls great. No plan to swap any buttons out. Plan on leaving it as is. As I looked at truck more, the radiator...

Purchased tmg air filter and wire basket for less restriction. Changed engine oil and filter. I also decided it was time to change the muffler. I was looking for a different exhaust tone and went with a 14" body 7" diameter magnaflow stainless muffler. It's small enough to hide completely...

Purchase a strainer and had a portable sand blasters come out and work on the bed. Inside of bed had the worst rust. Took longer to setup then it did to do the job. I primed it with 2 coats and sprayed herculiner on surface with 2 gallons to seal the bed surface.

I decided to take the plunge and enter the 5 ton world. Had m35a2s and variants for 10 years and wanted a 5 ton. Came across a nice m925a1 back months ago and decided to start a new build. His name is Brutus. Truck came with all led lights minus front side markers and spin on oil filter...

Amazing resto. Very meticulous.

My buddy turboed his m925a1 and use a hx60 turbo with a mrap intercooler and radiator. Lifted the cab and hood 2 inches. He also installed a methanol injection kit. He had his pump build by premco and had a #20 button installed and also 20% over injectors by premco. I can tell you from first...

Thank you everyone! Much appreciated by all those who voted.

following this resto.

My 1971 M35a2 with winch

Awesome build!

Today marks the end of my build on Smokey. A fellow steel soldiers member purchased the truck from Alabama and will be taking off where I left my build. Genuine good people and I am excited to see where the build goes. I have had a lot of great memories with the truck and I shed a tear...
