Why can't you just ground it to a good bolt? It has to be the battery?

Thank you. It works very nicely. Stick with LEDs. Its more expensive but they last and have a great look. I have all LEDs for lights except turn signals. They are next. They make the truck look more aggressive. At least Thats my take. But they also draw less current which is a benefit.

Both lights are in the same location. The back up light is larger so it looks like it sits lower.

Since June, my father and I have been restoring a M35A2. I have seen posts on here about people adding backup lights for visibility backing up at night. I decided to use LED lights for the better light quality and less draw on the alternator. I used a 27 Watt off road light from superbrightleds...

What you need is a HET so it faces directly towards their house so no fence can stop them from seeing a massive camo military truck.

Same truck, longer bed. Harder to park and turn around. Unless you need the extra length, go with an M35A2 and a M105A1.

This is a beautiful build by the way. How did you start restoring tanks? Were you a mechanic in the military?

What's interesting is we had the resources at the time, because we produced everything ourselves. We could only produce so much because most of our factories were converted for the war effort. On top of that all the food resources that were rationed out so our troops had food and supplies...

Thanks for the part numbers.

Ray, what was the hardest part about your tractor build? Was it mounting and pluming the extra tank? Do you have a switch on the dash that lets you select the tank you want or is it all connected to the one on the right?

That makes sense. I didn't think of the piped being damaged. I was thinking the extra weight would be good over the rear axles. If you had done the design like that, you would have to have mounted steel or mesh on over all the pipes in that area. Might have been a lot more work. Are you...

Sweet Build. I have a question. How much space is between the side door entrance and the front of the trailer? I was wondering if you had thought about building the bathroom horizontal in the trailer rather than along the side. I thought if there was enough room, you could build a wall along...

Ray, did you do any reworking of the motor? Did you add any spin on Filters or make any modifications to the motor?

Beautiful Truck. How Much time do you think you have invested in this project?

I have a VIC 1 system in the deuce and it does wonders for ear protection and also I am able to talk to the Copilot. Really comes in handy.

Why not purchase the paint all ready made? If you buy in bulk from Rapco parts, they have all the different military shades available. And they are oil based. Check out their website, it will save you a lot of time.

Gorgeous Rig and setup. How does the deuce handle the M146? Does it get bogged down on hills when towing it?

There will be some smoke during idling, even after it's warm. It could be coming from the turbo, that's why after running it for a while and then stopping there is no smoke until you let it idle again for a period of time. I have a light blue smoke while idling if I rev on the engine...

I have spent the last 2 hours trying to find the TM manual about the tank fuel pump for an M35A2. I replaced the fuse in the pump a couple months ago when the pump stopped working. I checked it today and the pump was not working. I looked and the fuse looked like it was blown. I put another...
